Yesterday was such an inspirational day for me.

Finally, a day where I accomplish so much. I was very successful with sewing, I stayed on task all day, and I got to meet Zack for lunch. Hello, sounds perfect :]

It felt super great to accomplish all that I had. Actually, don’t laugh… but I piled all the Gussy items I had sewn on the ironing board so when Zack got home he would see all I had sewn. And be proud. And he was, hah!

AND! Over the weekend I found a few exciting things regarding the biz:

*Gussy was featured {again} in Pregnancy & Newborn magazine
*Gussy was added to the Team of The Creative Connection Conference, which will be held here in Minneapolis this fall.

Yeow!

PS. I’m working on something SUPER FUN for next Monday.

Below are some pretty, inspirational pictures. I love the color and serenity of them. And, I love that sewing can make a gal feel so full of love + contentment.

    Walking in to get my son out of his crib to be greeted by a huge smile and him reaching for me. Warms my heart every time.

    as I’ve gotten older, I realize it’s the simple things – seeing my family happy.
    the Peace in my heart that comes from a closer relationship with God.
    A big cup of coffee and a few minutes of quiet time to myself.

    I love all the pretty eye candy this morning.
    Hurrah for your good day – make today even better. :)
