I need a sewing machine!!

I've wanted a sewing machine for a while now but don't want to spend the money for a new one. I may be able to find one at a thrift store but of course everytime I'm there I forget to look for one. I have alot of things I want to do with it but most of them can wait until I find one. I ran across this post today and thought THIS IS WHY I NEED A SEWING MACHINE!! It's a business card holder and since I have lia sophia business cards this would be great to throw in my purse and keep them all together. If you having a sewing machine and are interested in knowing how to make on you can check this out. It's a really good and thorough tutorial. And if you just want to be nice and make me one I like Pink and Gray!! HaHa!

Here is the link.

I'm back

After quitting my job in February we finally got the internet at home. I know I have a lot of making up to do in my blog posts so please just bare with me and I'll try to catch up as soon as I can. The biggest update I have besides Lily getting so big is I am now a stay at home mom and I've started selling Lia Sophia. Let me tell you, I think I've found my new passion. I love every part of doing this and I am able to have more girl time than I have in a long time. It is so fun for me and I make extra money for my family so it's awesome! If you are interested, check out my website!  www.liasophia.com/crystalault We have a great Customer Special going on right now. Buy 2, get up to 4 half off....and they are the most expensive items!

Ribbon Holder

I found this tutorial on another blog...sorry I forgot where. Please let me know if this is yours!!

I grabbed a slotted basket from Dollar General and some dowels from work (when I worked). I just placed my ribbon spools on the dowels and slid them through the slots in the basket then put the ribbon ends through the holes to be accessible. Total cost=$3.50

I'm a Stay at Home Mommy!!

Friday Feb. 4th was my last day at work! I've loved staying home with Lily the past 2 weeks and really don't miss my job at all. Everyone asks me what I do with my free time but the truth is, I don't have much. Lily doesn't like to take naps and when she does it's usually not for very long. When she does decide to sleep I try to get my couponing done for the week and catch up on laundry, cleaning, etc. We've also made a few trips to the local thrift stores. :)

Anyone else a stay at home mom??

Do you thrift shop??

Just wondering how many of you also shop at thrift stores and where you shop!! My list includes Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, the local resale shops, and Goodwill when I get to the bigger towns. I plan to do alot more thrifting now that I'm a STAY AT HOME MOM!!! More on that this weekend...

My winnings!!

I've been entering giveaways nonstop on the blogs I follow and haven't won anything..until a couple of weeks ago. I entered this giveaway back in January and I won!! It's a really cute frame that I can display pictures on and easily interchange them.  Here's the frame displayed on our entertainment center. Thank you Liz!!

Bows, Bows, & More Bows!

I made more bows for Lily yesterday!!! I have so much ribbon leftover from our wedding, she's gonna have a ton in these colors. :)
