December 18, 2019 – One Week until Christmas!

adminLeave a comment

Hello, All!

One more week until Christmas! Are you ready? I am NOT! 😀

I am still working on some Christmas cards. I need a few things to finish up my Christmas shopping. I need to bake a few batches of cookies with my DD who LOVES baking cookies! I do, however, think the decorating is complete, so Yay!

Last week at DD’s school they had a day where the younger kids could decorate some sugar cookies with frosting and sprinkles. Then, the older kids, parents, and grandparents could come watch a short Christmas program and have some decorated cookies. I volunteered to bake two dozen cookies and help kids decorate at school. It was a cute program and a lot of fun! Those were the only cookies I have baked so far this Christmas season. I am thinking this weekend we will make a few more.

What is going on at giggleFritz and Co.? I am working on Sock Monkeys and will be adding to my Shops soon.

Have a happy and productive Wednesday!

Hello, All!

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy December, and Happy St. Nick too! Time is zooming by!

I am a week and a half away from being done with school this semester. I started taking classes for a Bookkeeping certificate in August. I have learned so much, but it has taken SO much time! I haven’t been able to do much sewing or anything else for that matter. I did finish the yellow sock monkey I mentioned in my last post, for a customer. Here he/she is:

I am currently working on a brown sock monkey and a few more things before Christmas. I don’t have many things posted in my online shop or in my Etsy shop at the moment. If there is something I can make for you before Christmas, please shoot me an email. There is still some time before Christmas to create and ship something special for you!

Happy Monday!

November 12, 2019 – Baby, it’s Cold Outside!

We have a bit of a cold snap going on right now. This morning, around 7 am my DH walked up to the thermostat and said, “Wow, guess the temperature.” I thought for a moment, what temperature would be really cold right now? “6?!” He says, “Ok, you must have already seen the thermostat.” I didn’t, and I was surprised. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and it is pretty darn cold outside.

Keep warm and have a lovely Monday!

October 12, 2019 – Garden Mum Obsession

adminLeave a comment

Every year in June I buy a wee little garden mum plant from Stein’s in West Bend. They always have a coupon special for $1.99 for a little 4-5 inch pot. I plant the mum and we watch it grow all summer long. As Fall approaches, we get excited. The bigger the mum gets, the closer we are to Fall and the “bers”! I have a strange garden mum obsession!
Our mum got nice and big this year. Here she is at her peak, four days ago!

Happy Saturday, All!

October 03, 2019 – Write all the Things Down!!

adminLeave a comment

Someone in one of my Facebook groups shared this quote tonight and I had one of those, “YES! YES! PREACH!”, moments. I KNOW it is vitally important to write ALL the things down. Make a plan. Write the plan down. Follow the plan, ….but, it’s HARD! And that’s why it is worth doing.

Important quote by Robert A. Heinlein

Write all the things down and have a wonderful evening!
