End of (School) Days

June 12, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

Well. Summer is here. The boys are enormously excited. I am looking forward to a summer full of fun and some learning activities for the boys.  (H is desperate to learn how to read and E needs to keep up on his Math.) We are all looking forward to having mornings that don't include shouting … Continue reading End of (School) Days

Auction Madness and a Purse

April 26, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

E's school (he goes to a private Montessori school in case you haven't been keeping score) is having their annual spring auction in conjunction with the spring fair. This school goes all out and really takes the time to solicit some great businesses. The parents are also really generous in buying the fair items and … Continue reading Auction Madness and a Purse

Two new bags that I am in love with.

March 13, 2013December 15, 2013 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

So we all know that I love every bag that I make. Desperately. Passionately. Love. And here are two more little love children for my collection. And this number. Here are a few more close-ups of the very stylish and hand-made rosette. The rosette is made from a silk charmeuse and I hand sewed in … Continue reading Two new bags that I am in love with.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2013September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ 1 Comment

Hard to believe it is January 1, 2013.  A lot happened in 2012.  I met several new friends including one person who I feel is a kindred spirit and helps to bring out my artistic side.  A fleet of costumes were made, lots of travel happened - including to the beach which is where I … Continue reading Happy New Year!

Okay. Proud Mama moment coming up.  You've been warned. At E's school they have an annual Secret Snowflake - er - thing.  The kids get matched up with a another kid in their class and for the week they leave trinkety presents and notes for that person while trying to keep their identity a secret.  … Continue reading Talent in the Family

Trunk Show, Day 2

December 10, 2012September 12, 2014 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

A huge thank you to everyone who came by our Trunk Show this weekend. It is always so gratifying to see how many people love the things we make so much that they must buy them. I have a very Sally Field moment of, "You like me! You really like me!" during these shows. Most … Continue reading Trunk Show, Day 2

For those of you who are curious, I finished that last bag and it will be for sale tomorrow. I also baked a bunch of chocolate cupcakes and will be frosting them in the morning. A little later I will be putting together a cheese tray and in between I'll be putting the finishing touches … Continue reading Coming Along

Baubles of Cheer!

November 14, 2012 ~ mindyqs ~ Leave a comment

E, my 7 year old, is sick today. (Poor baby!) So I'm forced - forced, I tell you - to stay home and sew more bags.   Poor me. I was part way through one of my cute shopper bags when I ran out of the thread color I need to finish the quilting part of … Continue reading Baubles of Cheer!

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

simple Ula

I want to be rich. Rich in love, rich in health, rich in laughter, rich in adventure and rich in knowledge. You?
