I know I don't keep up with this blog as I should but I am reaching out to anyone who follows me.  I was born and raised on the Jersey Shore.  If you have seen any of the recent pictures of my hometown, Point Pleasant, you can only imagine how my heart is breaking for all those effected by Hurricane Sandy.   I am running an auction for two lots of items purses, bracelets, mug cozy, etc. on my Peanut & Pumpkin FaceBook page.  So if you have a few moments to spare could you please check it out and bid if you are interested or share so others may bid. 
Here are two pictures but all of the details are up on my page.

Love, Annaleigh

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I am excited to announce that for the month of August I am working with Love, Annaleigh. Love, Annaleigh is an organization that offers support to the children and families in the St. Peter’s NICU and PICU through the donation of items such as blankets, hats, toys, art supplies, etc. as a means of easing the stress of their hospital stay. What makes Love, Annaleigh so special is that it honors an amazing little girl, Annaleigh, who passed away in the St. Peter’s NICU on August 22, 2009.
This month I will be donating a portion of my proceeds directly to Love, Annaleigh. In addition to the donation for each order I receive I will donate a crocheted hat for the preemies in the NICU.
Go ahead and check out Love, Annaleigh at loveannaleigh.org and “like” them on FB. 
Annaleigh was one of three - you can learn more about her family; Brooke, Joe, and the other two triplets, Charlie and Lilly at Brooke's personal blog, Three Cheers for Babies.
I have decided to include that last 3 days of July in this month so I am already able to donate 5 hats for the preemies at St. Peter's.  My children were in our local NICU and I know how important something so small as a hat can be  - so I thank you for all of your support!

Feathers!


A lucky family just had a baby girl and asked me to make some headbands for her little girl  (that makes me the lucky one!)
Please don't mind the creepy baby doll - my little ones are way to big to model baby items any more :(
This one is a bit over the top but fun at the same time.  I love the feather aspect of it!

Excited!

I know how I have mentioned about a billion times that I love chevron but I really do.  Love this aqua chevron clutch with the orange flower!  (so I am excited about this)

I made a couple things for myself as well.  A friend and I are getting ready to do the Color Run  (I am REALLY excited for this) and you are suppose to wear all white.  I made a headband for each of us

I also wanted to make a cross body bag because I have a feeling we are going to need to carry some things with us.  There will be 23,000 people there so I don't think we will be able to keep stuff in the car that we will need.  What I am most excited about is that I made this from my head... no pattern!  Yeah, it is nothing too fancy but for my first one on my own I am excited

I plan on doing some crafts with the kids later on in the summer with some dye so I will probably dye it blue and use it for our library books and what not.


Now for some exciting news for you!  There are 4 Mondays left in the month of July and for each Monday of the month I will be doing some type of giveaway on my Facebook page.  So make sure you like it to keep up with all of the giveaways and details!

Tooth Fairy Pillows





Brook asked if I could make some tooth fairy pillows for her darling little ladies.  I was very excited to do so and I love the way they came out.  Each tooth is a pocket to hold the tooth until the tooth fairy can arrive.  With the ribbons your little one can hang it on their door knob to make it easier for the tooth fairy to get it in the middle of the night.  Nothing worse than that tooth fairy having to fumble trying to get that tooth!

For some reason my computer is not allowing me to rotate the pictures so just lean you head a little bit until I can get it fixed...lol

They were each personalized on the back as well

I just love Chevron

I am just in love with chevron fabric... I talk about, I daydream about it.  Yes, it is quite sad how much I love it.  I think the fact that it is hard to get makes it that much more desireable.  I mean who doesn't want what they can't have??
Here is a clutch that is in the mail on its way to Mandi

Here is the inside with two magnetic clasps and a pocket

I also just made this bracelet that I am loving right now... so fun.  I can't wait to experiment in new colors!

Fresh Start

I have been saying over and over in my head that I need to get things going again.  I have been keeping busy with private orders or making things for myself.  Then came along a local craft fair that I found out about 2 weeks ago and it was the kick in my pants that I needed to really get going again. 
I am in love with these macrame bracelets

Then I figured out how to make these nifty flowers

and I found a no-slip grip for them that kept one in Bella's hair all day.... it is sad to say how excited that made me.
Then there is chevron fabric... how I love thee....

I have a yellow one as well but I am totally infatuated with this teal one that is backordered everywhere.  I never thought I would be as in love with fabric as I am.  Yes... again, I am very sad ;)
Super cute

For the tooth fairy.... the tooth is a pocket
