I have to apologize to everyone, as I have been so busy lately. I have been working on school work and trying to get through the last part of this section in the class, and hopefully take the final soon. I have been also working extra hard to promote and update my new Facebook page for my business, Pitcher's Boutique. On top of all that, I have been packaging up blocks for a swap, put my Moms birthday gift together (still need to mail it), and lastly decorate the house for Halloween.
I promise when I get a few minutes Ill try my best to upload a ton of stuff. Its just been crazy.
Thank you to everyone who has been stopping by, reading my posts and or watching/reading tutorials. Please check out my Pitcher's Boutique FB page and Etsy shop!
I am finally off to sleep, I am exhausted and will be up in roughly 6 hours to run an errand.
Thanks again to all my wonderful supporters and viewers/readers.
See You All Soon,
Sarah

Give Thanks October, Week 3
October 15:
Today I had to make a run to my favorite craft store to buy fabric for a client, that craft store is the ONLY place I know that sells a childhood candy I just love. Thankful that today, after a long day and week, I was able to grab myself a bag of those candies. YUM!
October 16:
Thankful that I finally finished these Christmas blocks, and I now can send them out to swap! YAY!
October 17:
Today I got to try a new sewing project. I have made car seat strap covers before, so those are nothing new, but the Tula/Ergo strap covers/suck pads are. I am thankful that a friend let me try them out, and make her some (she gave me all the material), and hopefully she loves them!
October 18:
I am so thankful for such an open and loving/caring group of wonderful woman (and men) who are willing to come out and share in our baby wearing/cloth diapering love! Its a great thing. I am finally feeling more at home here in Norther California.
October 19:
Potty training has not been easy in this house, but I am thankful that my son is getting back in to it. Crossing my fingers that he wants to potty train, and be a big boy!
October 20:
So thankful I finished the boys Halloween costumes. Totally was worried I would be up sewing them the night before Halloween!
October 21:
I am so thankful that my neighbors let us watch their little dog, Porsha, while they are on vacation; Porsha makes my day just that much better. She cuddles with me, and wants me to love on her, and when I stop she licks me and pretty much makes me love on her some more. I miss having dogs, and I am so lucky to have Porsha in my house, she is a loving, caring, and sweet little dog.

August Give Thanks, Week 1
August 1:
Thankful today for the AMAZING package I received in the mail from Teresa Pino. I asked a quilting group for scraps of yellow fabric, to work on a block... and Teresa sent me an entire box of amazing fabric, tools, a pattern and a cute bag. She went beyond what I could have ever imagined. I cried when I opened it up, it was just so overwhelming to be blessed with such amazing things.
August 2:
Thankful today that I received my first batch of block swaps! Its such a great feeling to know that there are such wonderful people who are willing to spend time making blocks for others. Its so much fun too.
August 3:
I have to say that today I am thankful the wonderful customer service Starbucks gave us. I went to a Starbucks drive thru on Aug 2, and my drink was HORRIBLE! It didn't taste like a caramel frap. at all. I didn't turn around and drag my two kids and bad drink back, because both my kids were passed out. I just couldn't do that to them. When I contacted Starbucks, they emailed back the next day and refunded the amount of the drink, plus an additional amount for their mistake. They even double checked which store it was so they could send in the information to them. Thankful for amazing customer service. I didn't even expect to get a response back until Monday!
August 4:
Thankful today for my wonderful husband who let me go back to sleep after I woke up with the kids, because I wasn't feeling that well. After my little nap, I woke up and felt a lot better. Nothing like a wonderful husband who is willing to help you feel better.
August 5:
Thankful for options, life options.
August 6:
Thankful for the simple internal peace I have been feeling lately. I am not sure if its me finding my self again, or if life is finally falling into place, but whatever it is, it feels great!
August 7:
While making dinner tonight, my son just would not stop crying and being upset at me. I finally had to pick him up, but he wouldn't let me put him down. I was at a loss. I needed to make dinner and he just was too heavy for me to hold with one hand.... Thankful for those wonderful shoulders of mine!
