Um, is it just me or are the days flying by? It seems that hours, days, weeks are running together, confusing the heck out of me! It must be because a.) my pregnancy brain has yet to leave the building or b.) I'm getting old. Either way, I can't seem to keep my days straight. I mean I have my Palm Pilot and all, but, er, I keep forgetting to charge it. And when I do manage to charge it, I forget to synchronize it. So! The bottom line is: I'm screwed.
Sigh.
Anyway, I've been meaning to post some goodies that some kind folk out there have sent me. Remember how I mentioned that Mo of Froy and Olo sent me some amazing gifts? Well here they are folks! First there's this bit of EYE CANDY. (Be sure to check out Mo's freshly launched site as I'm sure you'll find something fun there!). And if this weren't enough, she managed to find the most adorable pair o' booties. Ever. She found them at an estate sale, and she was kind enough to part with them and sent 'em my way. Oh, I can't wait to put them on little Kate!
justJENN, recently returned from her Hawaiian vacation, sent me oodles of goodies. BEHOLD. Can you say Yum? Everybody now, "Y-U-M!" The best part is that I'm not going to share with N-E-1! Hee hee! Just kidding. Hank, I know you're reading this and salivating. The very next day, Debbie sent me a pincushion of my very own! (Remember how she whipped one up for the Baby Pool Stash?) And take a peek at her handcrafted cards. The chubby bird is too adorable!
*****
And someday when the stars align I will actually have photos in my Flickr album. I have a stack of vintage fabric that I'd like to share with you folks, but I don't seem to get around to it. Remember, this girl can hardly remember what day it is!
Well, I think I'll close here. But before I do, take a peek at my shop. I have some Japanese craft books for sale. Like this one! Adorable dresses? Check! Fun fantastic ideas? Check! Furry Friends? Check! Go on now. Run along. :)
P.S. Kate is now EIGHT WEEKS OLD! Yes! That's two months old folks. She's getting really good at holding her head up, and just recently she has started babbling up a storm. And she smiles. Oh yes! She smiles. And my heart gets all melty and fluttery when she does. Heck! Now that I think of it, I don't really care what day it is. Because right now it really doesn't matter.
At all.
Love, love, love the new banner! Can we live in that house someday?

Love your new banner. You scored some great stuff. Your cards arrived today. Lovely. Gorgeous and thoughtful packaging and love the teaser freebie back! Great work Leslie.

Oooh, I like the new look. Very cute!
I can't believe Kate is already 8 weeks old. Wow, time does fly fast.
I had to lauch at your comment about the Palm Pilot. That totally sounds like me. I never have mine charged. So, when I do want to use it, I have to download everything to it every time. So, I just gave up on it.

Time IS really flying here too! Those baby shoes are really adorable. They look handmade. Which reminded me that I have a FREE vintage pattern for baby shoes on my website. I swear they look like the same shoes! Email me for the link if you want to check it out. Enjoy that baby, won't stay little for long....as you have discovered.

Ohh... thanks for the link to your shop!

I love your new banner too. :)
Your site always makes me wish I had a typepad account. I've been thinking of switching... but "thinking" is the operative word. Hee!
Those booties that Mo sent are really precious. I love the books you added too. The bear one had me giggling with those cherry & pineapple costumes. So cute!

aw darn, I just left a really great comment and it didn't post! LOL. Now I've totally forgotten what I said, and I can't use the "post pregnancy brain" as an excuse either! ;)
I love your new banner, and those booties...so darling!
That bear book is so cute, I love the cherry & pineapple bears. :D

Hi Leslie! Love the new banner! Wow, it's been 2 months?! I can't wait until my little girl comes too! Take care!
Posted by: Val | August 11, 2005 at 09:10 AM
2 months?!?! That was fast! For me, time is going by really slow. I have about 2 more months to go before the little girl gets here and it feels like forever!
Love the new banner. Take care!
Posted by: Val | August 11, 2005 at 09:15 AM
pardon me sounding like a broken record, but love, Love, LOVE the new banner!! what did you use to create it?
Posted by: Ky | August 11, 2005 at 09:51 AM
Oh and you have forgot to mention your new layout and how lovely it is :o)
Those booties are so dreamy - the word booties alone is already so great!!
I love all your goodies and I'm heading over to your shop right now because I want to see those books - yay!

hmmm .... where's my post gone?
Posted by: Yvonne | August 11, 2005 at 10:21 AM
lucky, lucky you! the new banner is adorable. i didn't know that you had a little one, you must be a super mom to be able to have a shop, a blog, and still not be insane. ;)
Posted by: Aimee Roo | August 11, 2005 at 10:25 AM
I know exactly what you're talking about, been there for about 12 years now, (or is it 13?) :D If I just give you a pat on the back and tell you it will get better will you believe me? ;) I agree with everyone else, the banner is a wonderful change, and your shop...to die for! You are so talented! What lucky kiddos to have such a wonderful momma!

I cannot believe baby Kate is already 2 months old. That was FAST! I agree that time is going by faster, though. Maybe it's that I'm old. I just saw Halloween stuff at a store and thought "Already?!". I love all the goodies you received. My favorite are those booties.
Posted by: yvett | August 11, 2005 at 10:37 AM
Oh, and I forgot to comment about the banner. Love it!
Posted by: yvett | August 11, 2005 at 10:38 AM
Time really does seem to be flying by!
Amazing goodies you got. Those booties are so adorable! And your new banner is so much fun!
Posted by: myra | August 11, 2005 at 12:33 PM
I agree with Hank--love the new banner! Two months old, already?!? Wow, time does fly. :)
Posted by: Marilyn | August 11, 2005 at 06:54 PM
You are such a busy, productive girl. It's great! I am enjoying the new banner and I think it's because you're so darn productive that you're losing track of the days. It sounds like you're having an amazing time. That is absolutely all that matters!
Posted by: Giao | August 11, 2005 at 07:42 PM
I love the new banner but I miss the lamb and bunny :( Ok, I'm over it. Glad you like the pincushion. Those little Chucka boot booties are so cute. Very retro! Your craft books must have sold as you posted them. I totally missed that! I'm glad you are offering them though.
Posted by: debbie | August 11, 2005 at 10:29 PM
:D I completely relate. So glad she's smiling- so sweet! :)
PS- The new look/banner looks great! You're so talented!
