A sneak peek and story time!!!

So I have been busy creating things for my ETSY store (coming soon), hence the lack of posts by me lately, and it has been NuTs at our house. I have been making, among other things, snowmen out of rocks. Yep. Rocks. And I am loving them. So much so that I want to keep them. The whole lot of them! I was contemplating where I was going to put them all when my husband told me I was being Jillian Jiggs. Now on to the "story time" part of this blog. Because obviously I now have to explain what that means.

Jillian Jiggs (the first book) is my very most FAVORITE children's book. Pheobe Gilman went on to write more, which are also darling. The one my husband was referring to was this one.

Jillian Jiggs finds some pink socks and of course she has to make some stuffed pigs. Because that is the obvious thing to do with pink socks.

She makes a ton. They are all different. And they all have names.

Well, not only is she crafty, but she is a budding entrepreneur (thank you spell check!) and she decides to sell them. Who couldn't use an extra buck?

Well the kids come a runnin'. They know a good deal when they see one. But was Jillian happy?

Nope. How could she part with her piggy friends? Oh, the drama! ( I love this picture)

So she teaches everyone how to make them instead.

I love that not only my husband called me out, but QUOTED the book to me (it is my kids' favorite series as well so it get read a lot). I just realized how many times I used parenthesis (thanks again spell check).

What can I say, I (heart) parenthesis.

So I may only keep one. Momma's got bills to pay ya know. And some of you might be lucky enough to have one of his friends.
