The BIG day!!

Things are getting exciting around the Fresh Mom house! My husband's dad is getting married on Saturday and we are so excited to be welcoming a new member to our extended family!

My next sewing project will be my little chic's dress for the wedding (yes, I realize that is cutting it close!) Since I tend to gravitate toward very graphic prints, I found a beautiful black & white polka-dot fabric, to pair with a summer-sunshine bright, yellow shrug, and big, bright, daisy headband made by my super-talented friend Krista!

As soon as it's done, I'll definatly be posting pics as soon as it's done!

Where, Oh, where has the sunshine gone?

After a tease of beautiful sunshine & summer-like temps for a week, it has turned cold again. As I was shopping with a friend last night, I even saw snowflakes :O Yikes! I know that everyone says it's bound to happen on PEI...a late April snowfall.

Anyways, to keep my mind in a warm, happy place I've been making beach bags. I made one of these for myself last year, as an overnight bag when I went in to have baby #2. I ended up using it so many times, for so many different uses, I have taken this bag with me so many places, from the beach, to family picnics, hospital stays, to weekend getaways. I even pack it with a change of clothes and snacks for the kiddos if we're going on a day-long outing. I am so excited to have afew made and ready to offer them for sale!

These are great bags. They are approximately 18" tall, 8" wide, and 22" long. Lining the bottom is a heavy duty vinyl, perfect to withstand the wear and tear that this bag is sure to endure. The bottom is also waterproof, so no leaking through as it sits on the beach or at the pool!


Inside is a generous 8" pocket, with fold over flap top, to keep your keys and goodies from getting shuffled to the bottom.

I will be posting these for sale on my website within the next week, but if you see one you like let me know, and I will reserve it for you!

If you like the bags, but are looking for a different pattern, let me know, and I would be happy to make one especially for you!

Something for me...finally

My business cards have arrived! I love how they turned out...

Here's alittle something that I've been wanting to make for a long time..and finally took the time to make it.

The lining...lots of little pockets for all my debit/credit/membership cards, pockets for money and a snap pocket for change.


Here is the finished product. I'm not totally satisfied with how it turned out...need to adjust it a little bit to make it lay flat, but it will do for now!





I love the fabrics & that I was able to incorporate so much color, while keeping it fairly subtle.

Sarah Richardson Rocks!!

I just wanted to share one of my favorite designers with you...Sarah Richardson. I am obcessed with her show. She is currently redesigning an old farm house in her country style...it is beautiful.

Check out her website for a little inspration!

Big things are coming....

Well, I don't know if they're big to you, but I've been working away in my little studio to create some new beautiful things. I hope to share them with you as soon as I set up my little 'white box' so I can actually take some decent pics of my stuff...until then, please feel free to email me if you have custom orders and I can quote you a price!

The other 'new' thing that i'm hoping will come in the next few days is a revamped web-site....as much as I love the site that I'm currently using, i'm just not totally feeling the love for it.

I'm planning on adding a facebook group too....i'll keep you posted!

The little things....

Easter Sunday is a day to make a fresh start, wipe the slate clean. Because of what Christ did for us, we have a clean start.

Today, I spent 3 hours strolling down the Cavendish beach with my family, picking up rocks, and throwing them in the water, exploring the seaside, and just enjoying each other's company.

In this Easter season, I hope that I too can wipe the slate clean of the mistakes that I have made in the past years, and focus on my priorities in life...

What a beautiful day to celebrate the true meaning of Easter.

Cute, Easy, and Cheap decor idea...

If you know me, you know I'm cheap. That's just how it is...I'll never get over it. I love to find cute ideas for decorating that don't cost alot, and stumble across a very simple, but very cute idea that doesn't have to cost much and I thought I'd share with all of you...

"I Love" Amy Butler

So I'm thinking that Thursday is the perfect day to share a little bit of a designer that I "stalk"....someone who's designs and ideas I like to look at when I need to get my mind going. Thurdsday is the perfect day for this, a little something to get you through Friday, and still enough time to prepare for a project this weekend!

Anyone that knows me, knows that I talk about Amy Butler like we're pals. I really enjoy her fresh style, beautiful & rich printed fabrics, and designs infused with an eclectic & country flair.

Who would love afew of these cozy pillow cluttering up their living room?


Sometimes, a print makes all the difference!

I'll admit that I've never even purchased any of her fabrics...but that's the beauty of it. You don't have to have all the right things to be inspired. This isn't a person to copy, instead, go look at her web-site and you can't help but want to make beautiful things too!
