Age 11 and Horse Crazy - A photo essay

It struck me as I was putting the folded pile of clothes in her room that it won't be like this forever.

A cheerful bedroom full of bright colors, sparkles, rainbows, hearts - and horses EVERYWHERE.  There's no doubt what she's passionate about!  Every day she surprises me with her sweetness, intelligence and growing maturity.  She's on the brink of growing up, walking the line between little girl and young woman, but for now still mostly innocent, full of imagination and whimsy.  When I'm in this room, I get a small peek inside her heart and mind.  What a wonderful place to be!

I'm sure there's some order to the chaos... somewhere. 

I love these little snippets of her life and personality. I definitely know what her spirit animal is.  :)

I love getting items in the mail or at stores where they take the time to package them nicely. When you get home and open them it feels like your birthday all over again, so this is how they looked when I sent them off:

Okay, Etsy. Things I've learned:

* Ask for payment right away, otherwise it's confusing to buyers and a headache for me.
* Be active on Etsy, so I get more site traffic
* I'm addicted to making Treasury collections

I've been busy sewing up a storm, and have a few new items ready to list (just have to find a cute little model who is a size smaller than mine!) and a few that should be finished tomorrow and up on Deeds and Petunia on Etsy. Here's a sneak preview:










...and a cute cat shot to top it all off. Have a great day!
