Clothing for the Kids

I am in the midst of making clothes for the kids today. Busy, busy, busy.
 This year S.R. gets to go to preschool with E...sniff, sniff...and I wanted my babies to have matching outfits. Here is something I whipped up last week.



We had a little fun with the camera;o) I hope to have lots to show you in the next day or two:o) Have a great rest of the day!!

New blog follower here. Found ya through Someday Crafts. I was wondering if I could add vinyl to a cup like that, lol. Perfect timing! :)

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway, and a big thanks to Holly from Vinyl Designs!!

Pigs do fly...




Anything is possible after this


BTW- Congratulations to Abbotsford's buyers. Abbotsford is the first area in the REBGV or FVREB which is negative YOY for SFH detached - average, median and benchmark.

There are several areas which are close but I am trying to keep up journalistic integrity here.

Saved by the Bell!

I said in this post that if May was NOT the high point I would shut this blog down. The graph was too parabolic, the fundamentals were too out of line, there is nothing to comment on when one has crossed into the world of fantasy.

Inventory has been rising steadily and while we all know that prices can still rise with higher inventory as the wealthy buyers (eg HAM money) skew the market...I had decided that if the lunacy didn't at least take a break in June I would call it quits and another bear blog would have admitted defeat and closed.

Well by a hair all three averages are down this month, so unfortunately for you guys the blog keeps rolling. Condos especially have taken a big dump from April's high.

Thanks Larry for being the first one out with the data again.
