Sunday, October 17, 2010. Tonight, after a really good day of birthday party fun, I made a really huge parenting fail. So, so frustrated with parenting right now.

Is parenting really supposed to be this difficult? .

After much fear, self-doubt, and procrastination I finally did it. I still have a lot of half finished projects on my desk that I am pushing to get finished, photographed, edited, and posted to the shop by Friday.

Here are some photos of a few of my favorites that are in the shop already.
