Where does it go?
Yesterday, Max turned 15. It's hard to believe - where did all that time go? It doesn't seem like I just brought him home from the hospital, but surely he can't be older than 8! And of course, he's not your typical 15 year old. There's no backtalk or sneaking or bad grades or all that teenager stuff. He's responsible, inventive, hilarious, and brilliant. I know, he's my kid I can say that :) But really, he is!
He's very concerned about the upcoming election - he enjoys watching Keith Oberman and Rachel Maddow, and questioning anyone he comes across. He has "upgraded" one of our computers and it looks like Dr. Frankenstein was in the basement. He likes to zip around on his pocket bike (think circus clown) and hang out with his friends doing "parquor". (I think that's how you spell it. It's some new sport known as freerunning.) All the while, planning his future as a chemical physicist researcher. Oh yes, he is almost finished with Physics this semester and he loves it. Next semester is Chemistry 111, PreCalculus, and Psychology. He's planning to transfer to VCU in the Fall of 2009 - so we shall see.

Rayna's Creations
Unbelievable knitted beauty!
I'm a knitter myself and know how much love and time goes into the craft (one of the reasons I don't sell my knitted creations - for friends and family only!), and I must say her work is exquisite. She is just starting out, so give her some BIG Etsy love :)

I'm in an Etsy Storque Article!
I can hardly believe it! They didn't even let me know! I just stumbled on it. My little heart is fluttering :)
Go look!
(Can you see me jumping up and down and clapping my hands squealing in delight? I won't make a video, it's just better if you imagine it!)

Coming Soon: Handmade SamplerBoxes
I'm very excited about my new collaboration with several Etsy artists! Things have been in the works now for a little over a month to bring you 2 different Etsy Samplers. They will be available in my shop within a week or two. A couple of my new talented Etsy artist friends are still busily working putting the finishing touches on their products.
To get you excited about these artists and this great way to sample many different items at a low price, I will be featuring each of these artists every other day for the next 30 days. Of course, my packages will include Callidora items as well :)
Please check back frequently and meet these great people and get ready to order your Sampler pack!

Thinking about what to wear for the Holidays?
Think custom! Order your holiday dress now, it can take 4-6 weeks for a semi-formal or formal gown (two piece outfit). It'll be in the same price range as holiday wear from a major department store like Macy's, Kohl's, or Dillard's. The difference is - it will fit YOU! Not some 5'9" statuesque model in France, you - with all your beautiful bits.
If you contact me before November 1 for a custom outfit for the holidays, I will create a matching handbag for you FREE. Who doesn't want a gorgeous party dress (or pantsuit) with a matching bag?! Since I am only one person, I will only be able to take a certain number of orders for the holiday season, so get your order in early.
And remember, if you buy at Macy's, you'll have to pay all at once. If you buy from me, you can make a deposit (so I can get materials) and make payments during construction - it's a little easier on the budget. But if you like paying by credit card, I can take those too through Paypal.

I've added more photos to my Gallery, with descriptions of fabrics used. The skirts were made for a lovely lady in Kansas who works in a law office and wanted to update her winter wardrobe. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Buy It! Mom's Best Cereals
I just want to give a review and promote the cereals made by Mom's Best. If you haven't seen these cereals yet, look a little harder. They are usually near the organic or healthier cereals. They come in bright yellow boxes and are so incredibly priced!
Mom's Best is a family-owned (for four generations) business that makes cereals the way I would. No artificial preservative, colors, or flavors; no hydrogenated (do you know what THAT is?! blech) or palm oil; and NO high fructose corn syrup! There are a variety of flavors and my kids love them all.
Now, granted, my kids are food snobs and probably love it mostly because it's healthy, but they really do like the different flavors. The best part is that since they don't do any promoting or advertising, the savings are passed onto their customers. I bought a 24 oz box of their version of Frosted Mini-Wheats for $1.92 at Walmart. 44 grams of Whole Grain Goodness per serving for less than $2 a box.
Can't say enough good stuff about them. Check out their website at www.momsbestnaturals.com. If your local store doesn't carry it, ask for it. Since they don't advertise, spread the word for them. Do something good for the earth and your kids, buy Mom's Best! It's what I would make!
