hello to those who read
two posts in ONE week…ha!!! or should it be hmmmm….
things are finally winding down in the workroom…or getting wound up…depends on how you want to look at it! MOST of the samples for spring are here…the designs have been drawn, digitized, proofed, tweeked, stitched, and sewn out on 14 tees for each sample set…the list of sewn items affectionately named “cutlists” have been submitted and long conversations regarding patterns & changes have officially made me crazy…but nevertheless we are ready (kindof) to take pictures tomorrow…..IDA BETTER BEHAVE….
but today? not a great day to be scouting out a dry place to take pictures since the destination scheduled is a swamp…it looks like IDA herself has been to mt laurel…
so….
*disclaimer: these pictures were not taken by my d60, she would be VERY dissappointed if you thought so…
by the way…while we are pointing the camera…
the sum of today….mess
so the next post i promise will have a preview…we (Blue Moon Studios of Mt Laurel’s very own Butch, photographic expert) and I will be shooting the spring 2010 line….so in all seriousness i would appreciate your prayers…about 10-12 kids, a wooden boat, and tons of clothes to shoot….

hello to those who read…
a quick trip this weekend and a quick visit as well….it was one of those quality visits….chosen over quantity, as in minutes- because we all know what happens when your ambitions overtake your good common parental sense…you must not push that limit- that inner voice that says you better get your things and make a straight line trip to a path that leads to something less tiresome… so we enjoyed a drive from birmingham, visit with precious friends with a little tree climbing for the kids….a long walk (for kids) to food….and the kids made it to about halftime….the game day atmosphere never dissappoints…
and you probably know mia’s face – all too well…over it…
we loved every minute while it lasted..memories flooded my mind as we walked on campus…a precious time in life…
war damn eagle….
all of my love to my phi mu sisters….and my regular crew
NEVERTHIRST UPDATE: We at BBTN have prayerfully considered a committment longterm with Neverthirst ministries. We think this group of men and women have put together a wonderful company that is committed to providing clean water through digging wells in villages situated in Sudan, South Africa, and India. 100% of the monies raised go directly to providing clean water, there are no administrative or travel costs taken out….truly amazing! We love the committment of this group (personal friends from college and after) behind the projects so we decided a few months ago to partner with them to adopt a village – meaning provide the financing for a well to be placed in an area where there is an overwelming need for clean water. That one well will privide water to more than 500 people possibly daily who would not otherwise have clean water to give to their families. To date, the staff at Neverthirst has paired us with a village in West Equatoria State, East Mundri County….the village of Witto. Thank you so much for your loyalty through letting your children wear BBTN clothing…we are hoping to be involved heavily throughout the coming years. Thank you again…we will more than likely have pictures of the village in a few weeks…
hello to those who read…
i just edited the pictures and i really was thinking this was going to be a wordless post…well…i guess i’m thinking they might need a tiny explanation….tiny…so maybe it’s a partially wordless wednesday….
so how about just captions?
fabulous…
my reward for getting up…halfway through a walk
we love spooky pumpkins….
the costumes seem to be getting alot less cute every year (can i say that?)…audible sigh…
mayhem begins…as usual…the fun part…
one of my favorite things…
dinner…does your house turn into this?
or this? oh…and this was mild…
less than a week of shipping remains for bbtn…exchanges and a few backorders (thanks to the 6 city, two country trip that our sully fabric took, but i am staying positive and not complaining…yeah, positive)…
next post…a sneak peak…the spring 2010 stitch-outs (trials) are in…and being stitched for pictures next wednesday….WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11th… some fabulous ideas on board for the photoshoot….crossing fingers and all toes in hopes that everything falls into place….by wednesday…i am really trying to be laid back here…but it really really does have to happen next wednesday….
fingers, toes…all of them…
all of my love to my people….
p.s. new things on the playlist…listen awhile…
hello to those who read….
i have stumbled upon a precious blog…paige k…and then another…chatting at the sky…you know how it goes….for me? i get my laptop out to “get ahead” at night while catching up on my backlog in tivo….and i end up finding out what everyone else is up to in the blog world (sometimes…)
so tuesdays unwrapped (chatting at the sky), this week is what are you grateful for…..and this really falls alongside of my next blog topic anyway… or part of it…the point is the small things…but what i have realized is the small things are what make the big things tolerable…
i don’t know that i will ever share my entire story here…it is simply not the place…those that are very close know my story well and really it is not the story that is important….the fact is -that for everyone (i think) there is eventually something in your life that teaches you who God is…who he is not….and what you are made of….
i have found out those things in the past year…or a little more… once that journey has started i don’t know that you are ever the same…you gain some key pieces and lose alot….you are broken and restored to some degree…but any way you slice it you learn and you become stronger, you have to, either from learning or from sheer survival…and in the end the christian community likes to call it santification and stretching….(although to be honest? i would rather stretch in the gym and visit a sanctuary)….
but i didn’t tell you this to peak your interst in my story, because again it simply doesn’t matter…because God will use something in your life to bring you to a place where nothing and no one will fill the gaping hole that he created for himself….no one on earth can fill it…
so i say, in the interest of adhering to tuesdays unwrapped, in the midst of God teaching me i am grateful for ….
*ready for light-hearted?
