Surprises and Shopping!

Home again!!!!! Our trip to Boquete and Volcan were great... and our trip to Panama City was
also!!! I have many pics ofcourse.... and I bought back 23yds of fabrics!!!!! That I will take pics of later... because you really gotta see all the wonderful fabrics I found down there....
Thanks to Rico's Cousin and her family Panama City wasn't scary like I thought is was going to be!!
But now I must talk about what we came home to yesterday evening.....
A baby chinchilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Powder had a baby!!!! Look how cute and little he is!! Check out his tiny little face! They are the cutest things ever. Baby Chins are born with all their hair, teeth, eyes open and running within seconds after being born. And they make the cutest squeaky baby noises!!!! I can't tell yet if this baby is a boy or girl.... We have named it though... which isn't a good sign because that means we'll probably keep it and not sell it like I told Rico I would if they had babies.... oops!
Below are some shots shopping at the Kuna Indian vendor set ups. The Kuna make the most beautiful fabric art called Molas..... yeah, I bought a few...


The Kuna dress very traditionally... and they are very tiny people!!!

I love the beaded bands they wear on their calves! I didn't find anyone selling those though....
We did buy a few of their beautifully beaded necklaces!








Above, I'm trying to decided which Mola to buy... Thats Kissy in the pic too, Rico's cousin. I probably wouldn't have even gotten to go here had it not been for her and her husband braving Panama City's crazy traffic!!!
The two Mola's on the far right... yep, they are mine now!!!
More later... I have sooooo much to catch up on here! And I have to get to work on the costume orders I have because I am SO broke now! You will understand why after you see all my fabric!

Lots of new stuff!!

I LOVE this bag.... Its another Ellen Medlock pattern. Its called the Karma Bag! My mom and I both took a class at the sewing expo 2 yrs ago and made one... but I didn't like the fabric they gave us so I gave it away.... and after 2 yrs I finally get around to making another one... In fabric I do like! This is vintage fabric from the attic of my great aunt in Nashville.... Mildred. The inside is lined with some adorable Scottie dog fabric I bought at Jo anns .... left over scraps from a wrap I made my mom for Christmas one year. The EXTRA awesome thing about this bag is its exchangeable because of the way the hardware is made.... just twist off two of the little tips... slide this purse off another on... twist caps on and you're off with a different bag! Now I gotta make some different bags to go with this! Which should help my ailing purse wardrobe.... cause I really love this bag! My B-day was last month (big 36!) and this is what mom gave me.... An adorable and much ne

Just alittle hoop action

I think I'm getting better! hmmmm... I've got enough bruises from the hoop I should be better! I still can't hoop on my chest for long... and there's a good reason for that! lol!!!

New Donkey milk soap!

A new soap coming soon! This is Rosemary Lavender Donkey milk soap! Made with therapeutic essential oils, and premium ingredients like grape seed and sunflower oil! Purifying Clay and minerals give added benefits and pretty colors! I’ve been making homemade soap for several years now. I’ve always used the cold process method but after much research decided to try the hot process method. Mostly because with it I don’t add my milk until the end after the soap is cooling, the ph is balanced and the chemical lye is gone. Leaving behind correct ph pure soap.. which I then add my precious and highly skin beneficial donkey milk too. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it there is a significant difference!!  On the crochet front.. I’m pretty much crocheting everyday again now that I’ve decluttered all that fiber!!  So now I’m trying to get a handle on my supplies and organize.  I love being organized!! I’m not one of those people who can stash yarn in plastic tubs or under the bed! I’ll fo
