Welcome Back Brittni!

To the world of blogging!

Wow! Has it really been a whole year?! It's certainly been an eventful one around here for sure!

My oldest (my daughter, Amelya) started Kindergarten a month ago! Yes, I cried.




So did she. The bus forgot her. Drove right by. ZOOOOM!!! Poor girl! What a way to start Kindergarten! It's okay though, she was fine once Mommy & Daddy drove her to school and she saw her teacher!




My little guy, Benjamin, is in preschool 2 days a week as well.




Nice face, huh? Even at 3 years old, he's too cool to pause for a moment so Mommy can play papparazzi. They learn too early.

That means that I get a whole hour and a half all to myself twice a week!

Do you feel bad for me? Don't. I find things to do with my time. Laundry. Picking up Princess shoes and Duplos. Making beds. Stepping on crayons and grinding them into carpet.

Okay. Well maybe you should feel a little bad for me.


I also have more time to SEW! That makes me happy! A happy Mommy makes for happy kids. When they've had a nap. And when Mommy's had a nap.

So I'm back in full-swing, and loving every minute of it! I'm also part of a wonderful group on both EBay and Etsy called "Hope for God's Children". Did you see that? If you click on those gray words, it will take you right to the website! Fancy, huh? Aren't you impressed?

Anyway. We launch every other month to raise money for a child who has cancer. We have had 6 beneficiaries so far, and it's a humbling experience to get to know these families! All proceeds from every listing on both sites go directly to the families. The designers keep nothing, except the knowledge in our heads and hearts that we have done a little bit to make a hard life more manageable.

So head over to EBay or Etsy and search "HGC Matthews" to find our current listings to help the Matthews family pay down a few of the mounting medical bills from their two sons.

Thank you for being one of their angels! These boys need as many as they can get!


By the way, did you see that? I made more gray words. Just click on them. Go ahead.
