Woa Nelly I love to see twirly girls spinning to their hearts delight. Little Wellies on Etsy has got the Crazy Love fever and they are not shy about it!!! Thanks for sharing the Crazy Love Craze!! This has been such a big hit for us and we are so grateful it delights all of you!!
As we all know it takes a ton of rejection to get that one moment. So grateful for it! It was a ton of fun and would love to have the opportunity again but one thing I do know is that life will unfold and I will show up. Letting Go is never easy but when you trust and have faith all things work out. My mom taught me that!!
So here we are Madeline and I ,my husband is working hard in the background and my children are watching in suspense. We did it. Nailed it and all because my co host Madeline with the long flowy hair in the beautiful Sis Boom dress she designed, kept me on track, kept me rehearsing, kept the props coming and told me I could do it.
Thanks to all you beautiful people in my life who keep it real , throw caution to the wind and act real silly. You are my heros!!
Thanks Fox and Friends for allowing me to share my passion! Click on the Picture to see the video or click here.

Jennifer Fraunfelder never gave up and now she sews through the night filling orders for her etsy shop SouthernBabies She’s getting the kids to school, feeding the cat, and no wonder with all our daily tasks we want to throw the towel in when business doesn’t run smoothly! This sweet gal like all of us at one time or another, including myself have persevered! Listen if you are making it through these tough economic challenges chances are you will be poised for success when this is all behind us!! Jennifer thanks for not giving up on your dream because we all need your success story to motivate us!!! Love you girl! 6mos-4T.
We are big fans of Lori Todd at Sassy Stitches, A girl with quite a bit of Sass but it’s the good kind so no worries. She makes the prettiest clutches and they are just so beautifully done. I love her eye. Nothing matches yet it’s brilliant. Thanks Lori for creating such eye candy. I absolutely love!!!!! Guess what folks for Crazy Love since things are getting dicey at various sites Quilt Home will have them all very soon if not sooner. They are getting them up on their site. There is the latest stop for all of Crazy love and once you see how perfect they are with Superfly well the rest is history!
You know I’m crazy about all of you guys. Love how you stash your pictures in Sis Boom Sightings for me to see and ponder ! I love it all . Please don’t ever take it personally if you are not selected for a blog post because it may take time! We appreciate all of your contributions. More and more beautiful items are being posted daily and not always possible to make the rounds but we are grateful and you never know when you may be next. Monique is not new to the Sis Boom blog but we love having her for her eye that sees it all so brilliantly. Not a matchy matchy girl by training she sees with her heart and as a result it all seems to tug at ones soul. I just had to show you Monique in her Lucy Halter top because she glows. Whisper color and she’ll be by your side. We just can’t thank her enough for all she does and the beauty she fills the world with. So thanks Monique!
My weekend started with meeting up with Madeline to share a crafternoon with Laura Madden and Jessica Pigza. It was out of this world. Just walking up the steps where the lions watch over Fifth Ave was enough for any historical junkie. Their names are Prudence and Fortitude and you know I would have loved to Sis Boom them up but alas they are protected kind of like extinct animals are and they are not allowed to be touched. So because I can’t resist I decided to do it in photoshop because I can’t leave well enough alone. So here we have Patience on the South side of the steps up to the NYC Public Library in his Wreath of lovely! Our hosts were incredible and loving and open ,very special ladies. Such a privilege I tell you. Oh and make sure to get a copy of Laura’s Book Crafternoon on Amazon. I tell you very special ladies with an amazing message. Love to everyone who came and let their inner artist play..
Oh and the next thing I knew Madeline and I were racing off to do a Sunday segment on Crafting for Mother’s Day early in the morning for Fox and Friends Weekend. Hair and Make up included , we felt like movie stars. So please take a look at this fun day! Then take notes and Craft away!! Tell us if you saw us last Sunday and what you thought of the projects.
