<br />
I've moved... just a few blocks down the internet over <a href="http://corrieberrypie.tumblr.com/"><b>HERE</b></a>.<br />
I have new goodies in the shop, new stories to tell, time for a fresh new place to do it. And I do mean fresh. So clean and tidy over there.<br />
Come check it out!<br />

I wear mine nearly every day! For the last year and half they would sell out the minute I listed them - an anomaly for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/corrieberrypie?ref=si_shop"><b>my shop</b></a> full of one (or few) of a kind creations.<br />
Sadly, my supply has all run dry. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/85892079/triangulation-earrings-double-triangle"><b>Here</b></a> is my last pair, ready for the taking. They need a good home!<br />

This can be tricky for few reasons. For one, it's hectic and busy and by December 25th I feel like a ragged little elf who desperately needs a nap and a pedicure (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">hint hint Santa!</span>).<br />
The other drawback is that after doing it for a few years, I run out of things to make! One can only give a purse or pair of earrings so many times.<br />
But all in all, I really love doing it this way. The whole family works all season long for a handmade holiday - even the littlest hands can help out!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, I decided to paint these signs for teacher gifts:</div>

We are ready ready ready for Christmas. Super ready. Couldn't be more ready. Not so much for the Christmas day present hoopla thing - although that will be fun. But we are counting down until we pack our bags, load up the car and make our way through the mountains to family! FAMILY! We miss them all so much! And we get to spend time with both sides this year and we can hardly wait. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We needed something to help us count down to the big day. Advent calendars are fun and all, but to be honest the thought of stuffing one with trinkets for each kid (meaning 50 trinkets!) sounded like a bit much. Plus, we aren't counting down to Christmas morn, we just need a countdown to ROAD TRIP 2012. So I made this. We tear a number off each morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You could do the same for Advent or Christmas morning for sure. Especially if you want to bypass treasure hunting for the traditional Advent calendars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a small thing to do, but helps us pass each day. It'll be here before we know it! Now the trick is to enjoy days 23-1. </div>

It's not new or clever, and doesn't require any skill from the adult (except patience), but it's one of our favorites. We have quite a collection!<br />
All you need is string (cord, hemp, yarn, ribbon...anything you have on hand) and some fun beads. Ruthie is my, um, <i>spirited</i> child. So I used the ol' highchair to keep her in one spot and contain some of the chaos, or else I would be finding beads around the house from now until the end of time.<br />
She wears hers everywhere - her "gussets"she calls them - and rakes in the compliments. :)<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I know, I know. It's been waaaay to long. (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">six months to be exact!</span>) I thought about giving a million reasons (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">excuses</span>) why I haven't written, or slathering pictures of my kids up here from the last few months to fill in the gaps, or doing a huge catch-you-up post...but I fear if I don't just jump right back into the wonderful world of blogging then I never will.<br />
<br />
So, the abbreviated highlight reel of the last 6 months:<br />
- Summer happened. Texas be crazy (family modo)<br />
- We road-tripped to family, gained a perfect new nephew, and drove all the way back to Texas just to miss them all terribly. (thank goodness for FaceTime)<br />
- I took a massive break from my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/corrieberrypie?ref=si_shop"><b>Etsy Shop</b></a> - playing with the kiddos before the school year began trumped many things. They're getting too old too fast. I didn't want to miss any of it.<br />
- My son turned 5, started kindergarten, learned to read and write, and is just so stinkin' sweet.<br />
- My daughter turned 2, gave up pacifiers, loves to swing and "party" and is ridiculously cool.<br />
- My husband is a working machine. But since he's a minister we get to be at "work" with him a lot, and he rarely misses out on family fun time. He's a perfect teammate...we're pretty fond of him.<br />
- I got a job <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/index.jsp"><b>here</b></a> and didn't take it, started volunteering with some super fun teenagers, joined two book clubs (LOVED <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radioactive-Marie-Pierre-Curie-Fallout/dp/0061351326/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352293231&sr=8-1&keywords=Radioactive%3A+Marie+%26+Pierre+Curie%3A+A+Tale+of+Love+and+Fallout"><b>this book</b></a>), and knocked out both seasons of Downton.<br />
All in all...life is pretty sweet.<br />

...reflective of my life right now, I'd say. I adore summer, but being the routine-lover that I am, I've felt a little disoriented by all the changing schedules and seasonal hoopla. But I know it will be gone faster than I can slurp down an iced coffee...so we embrace it, chaos and all. :)<br />

Some of you may remember my longstanding record of killing anything (and everything) green. I don't know what happens. I just don't have the touch. I see people with lush landscapes and overflowing gardens and can't fathom how they do it. I'm not asking for a farm or jungle...I just want to maintain a tiny house plant! But I can't seem to manage it. <br />
My longest living plant thus far was a cute little succulent a few years back. So I thought I'd give that another go since people joke that you "can't kill these!"...if they only knew.<br />
So here they are. A few succulents and a poky little cactus. (He's the feisty one)<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">I sent a pic to my husband yesterday and said "here we go! all in their pots...viva my plants!" and he replied "in their tombs, you mean". He has bet me the cost of this endeavor that they don't make it through summer. We'll show him, won't we fellas? </span>Corriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10877947586558636219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592082812345728611.post-84579036618260526012012-04-30T11:37:00.000-07:002012-04-30T11:37:16.321-07:0020% OFF for Mother's Day<br />

Remember that <b><a href="http://corrieberrypie.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-goodies-from-xenotees.html">little deal</a></b> we have going with my friend Noelle of <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Xenotees">Xenotees</a></b>? She
sends us free clothes (the whole family) and we model them for her shop. It’s been going on for a few years now. I love a good trade, but I'm certain we
got the best part of this deal…free clothes!!! <br />
A few weeks ago, a giant box stuffed with new shirts for all of us arrived on my doorstep - wahoo! I've been photo-ing like a mad woman. :)<br />
Check out <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/Xenotees">her shop</a></b> for the newest stuff, including this fun <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/98175569/mothers-day-special-sale-2-tees-for-40">Mother's Day Special</a></b>. Matchy matchy!<br />

We watched the mom nest and nest for weeks and then one day we heard little squeaks coming from the birdhouse. Then <span style="font-weight: bold;">finally</span>, we saw them poking their itty-bitty heads out for a quick bite. The mom trusts us a tiny bit...but she won't keep her back to us for long when it's feeding time. I snapped a quick picture through the window tonight at dinner.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2RdacT4td03Rf_9_OD9V8mw_sZprm-ThtF-zMQJ_gvGHuSLki6-cYsygflfx-uL03XYpCp8Bs7_smzDDiwlCoZ8zxtOVlm1gni0uHY5VpzaIU6XzXQBKva9gemFQTg9lhRZ0brqOHQs/s1600/IMG_0900.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw2RdacT4td03Rf_9_OD9V8mw_sZprm-ThtF-zMQJ_gvGHuSLki6-cYsygflfx-uL03XYpCp8Bs7_smzDDiwlCoZ8zxtOVlm1gni0uHY5VpzaIU6XzXQBKva9gemFQTg9lhRZ0brqOHQs/s400/IMG_0900.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732153409731862674" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The kids check on those birds morning noon and night.

It was one of the quickest and easiest sewing projects I've done...right after <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://corrieberrypie.blogspot.com/2010/08/burp_11.html">burp cloths</a>.

Just kidding. But wouldn't that be nice?<br /><br />My version is super simple. I put about 40<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ish</span> drops of lavender (I didn't count, I just wanted enough to scent the bottle real good, but not overpower it) in my spray bottle, along with 12<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ish</span> ounces of bottled water. Be sure not to use tap water. Stuff will grow in there - this isn't a science experiment! You can purchase the oils at any health food store. Many would be nice...chamomile, rosewater, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">ylang</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ylang</span>. I would avoid any with mint, if you are misting it near the face.

It is a great way to snap them out of a chaotic moment and make them smile. It also works as a nice "Calm Mommy Spray". :)<br />Try it!Corriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10877947586558636219noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2592082812345728611.post-6533104061825004862012-02-23T05:25:00.000-08:002012-02-23T05:33:41.863-08:00Coming Soon...Next week I'll be adding these <span style="font-weight: bold;">instant vintage charm collections</span> to <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/corrieberrypie?ref=si_shop"><span style="font-weight: bold;">the shop</span></a>.

I assumed his affinity for them would fade as the year wore on, but he looks for it every day, and saves every single note - such a sentimental child! What will I do with all of them? I've thought about framing them all side by side in a big grid, but that would take a mighty big frame. Maybe I should scan them in and print out a more manageable sheet to frame? Or just drop them all into a shadow box frame? Well see...<br />For now, here's a glimpse at the notes for next week:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXe7a6CDf_0R58_YhE7UzIH_Wex-F_8sQeVjSzxvz5AKMNRFNrzFZuTCBFShCbhiFiCaAlnpLjLktwkI3eizfPuwJbVG7CbE3qqiM5XU1eaiNXj_-O-n2FZ2IXTlCZXchQUc7xv24TgQ/s1600/lunch+notes"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXe7a6CDf_0R58_YhE7UzIH_Wex-F_8sQeVjSzxvz5AKMNRFNrzFZuTCBFShCbhiFiCaAlnpLjLktwkI3eizfPuwJbVG7CbE3qqiM5XU1eaiNXj_-O-n2FZ2IXTlCZXchQUc7xv24TgQ/s400/lunch+notes" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704339346660270098" border="0" /></a>Corriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10877947586558636219noreply@blogger.com1
