Bicycles!

The hubs and I got new bikes today.  We rode them from our house, to a local elementary school..and then back to our house.  It is about 2.5 miles - and it was the perfect day for it today!

My bike is pretty aqua...reminds me of my ruffle heart outfit.  I love aqua/turquoise...so here are some beautiful aqua things..that warm my soul!

My bike is in the middle :)

Exciting times!

Hi everyone!
I am so excited to write today!! I have a nice long weekend 5 days!  However, after 5/30, I'll be on a business trip until 6/10.  If you will be needing anything from the shop, please get your order in on 5/30 and I'll prep it for shipping before I leave on 5/31. Any orders placed after 5/30 will be shipped 6/11-6/17. 

I have big plans for the 11 nights that I cannot sew - I am going to finish my look book!  I have awesome scrapbooking materials & photos of my work!  So by the time I get back - I'll be ready for a fantastic trunk show!!

If you'd like to host a trunk show, I am offering a special for my first trunk show - email me @ Sillysunnydays@gmail.com to get additional details.

I will be missing my sewing room, dog, cat and most of all my husband and son while I am away.  I hope to make this time as productive as possible... There is something to be said for making lemonade with any lemons you get, right!

Rainy Day Project :)

My plans to be at the Strauss Theater are tossed.  Yesterday we had a huge chance of rain, and it never came.  But it has been raining since midnight or so..and its still icky...and I was sick one day this past week.  So..I am going to stay home today. 

But - out of all things comes good - right?!  So, I am working on redesigning my booth coordinating with my blog, cards and such :)  Sneak peek!


I love the colors..and it will nice to have a cohesive look - I am looking forward to finishing the banner and the pennants today.
I'll show ya'll later :)  If your day isn't sunny - at least be silly:)

A listen into my studio!

So for those of you that do not know me personally - let me share just a little bit about me.  I LOVE music.  I am listening to music almost all the time I am at home..and pretty much all the time I am sewing.  I sing too, but only when the music is WAY louder :)  I am not even sure its a 'joyful noise'.


So - my most recent playlist is:
Impossible - Newsboys
Hold Me - Jamie Grace
Your Love - Brandon Heath
This is the Stuff - Francesca Battistelli

& if I am rocking it 'old school'..
I'd be listening to:
1979 Remix - Smashing Pumpkins
Everlong - Foo Fighters (acoustic and live if at all possible)
Landslide - Smashing Pumpkins
Anything by Better than Ezra (we have seen them in concert several times!)
Anything by Counting Crows

...and I start listening to Christmas music in October.  I have more Christmas CDs than regular CDs.  Its a bit much - but I LOVE IT!

Until next time - have a Silly Sunny Day!

Get ready for The Strauss!

Tomorrow morning ... at 7 am... I will be setting up at the Strauss Theater with other artisans from the surrounding area.



I am really interested in seeing what everyone will have!  A few sneak peeks of what I'll have are below:







Come by and get some handmade goodness!  I can't wait to see you!  Also, there is a bake sale!

New Look! Same great stuff :)

Good Morning World!  I am so excited about today!  I have been wanting a cohesive branding 'look' for a while - and now I have it!!

Check out my new fancy blog & the new stuff on my etsy site:

I hope your day is silly & sunny!
