These are a couple photos of headbands and clips that I just finished for a very nice bulk order for night owl studios! A woman bought 55 items for her children's boutique in CA. Woo-hoo! It feels good! :D If you are ever in San Luis Obespo, CA...check out the Hopskotch Kids boutique. Thanks Mignon, for your order! Thanks everyone else for your support! Love to you all....L
Good Part of a Great Movie...
Have you seen the movie August Rush? If not, it just came out on dvd. If you love music like I do...If it's really a part of your heart and soul, this movie is for you. It's mainly about a boy who's a musical genius, and how he uses his talent to find his parents, who were seperated from him at birth. Great flick!
Closet Pixie Fans Unite!
Hey, just for fun, I put a music player on my blog. Just scroll on down to the bottom of the page, come on, you know you want to! :D Now you can see what kind of music I REALLY listen to. Sorry if it brings a shock to some of you...I have a bit of a wild streak in me sometimes. Have fun! Let me know if you like my music. :D
Pachelbel Bedtime...Amazing Song...
The best song I've heard since I've had children...So True...

Why don’t you want to say goodnight? Why is it that you do not go to your bed and sleep tight until the morning light is come and cast its haze upon your eyes and then you wake to greet the day that God has made and rejoice for you are part of it?
Why do you insist upon the crying and the moaning and the whining and the screaming and the tantrums and the yelling and the kicking and the snacking and the biting and the hissies, the “One more drink of water?” and the “One more book please, daddy?”
And now I just want you to go to sleep. I don’t want to hear a peep from either one. The day is well past done. And I’m about to lose my mind. I’m gonna tear up your behind so “Nighty-night. And don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
Now it is so quiet and so peaceful in this once-chaotic house we all are sleeping and we’re dreaming and it’s as quiet as a mouse but what is that familiar sound tiptoeing nearer - Little steps approaching closer? No, it can’t be what I’m fearing and it’s –
Not! It’s just the cat and she is purring so contently and she snuggles at my feet. To be sure, it’s quite endearing. My lids relieve my eyes of all the stress that they were feeling and I turn my head to sleep but then I feel somebody staring and then
“AAAAAAAAAGH!!” She’s staring right at me. Her eyes are glazed with sleep. “I nearly wet the sheets upon my bed.” Her lips are trembling as she speaks, now there’s color in her cheeks. She looks so frail; my heart begins to swell.
Now she lies beside me and she breathes so easily. Her dreams are happy and she sighs a tender sigh so peacefully. She knows her Mommy and her Daddy and her Sissy love her greatly and we sleep throughout the nighttime never ever more sedately and now,
Morning casts its light upon the pillow where her head begins to stir. I try to wake her so her kind and gentle dreams I don’t disturb but as I pull her from her slumber ever slowly, I know in my heart of hearts exactly where this all is going and the
Crying and moaning and the whining and the screaming and the “Daddy you’re so mean! How could you interrupt my dreaming?”, the brushing of the hair and then the clothes they hate to wear. I need the check to pay daycare. I can’t forget her teddy bear. and then I
Sign her in at her own school. Off to work I travel too. My mind’s a wreck. I keep hearing songs from Shrek. I work all day and then go home. * All my stress is mostly gone. My kids I see and I pull them in closely. Then we
Start to do the homework, and the dinner must be started, and gymnastics and piano and the groceries must be carted, then the smallest one is crying “Won’t you hold me” like she’s dying and the oldest one’s frustrated with her homework though she’s trying. And dinner’s on the table but it’s cold because we waited for the children to get back from practicing all their cheerleading. Now the broccoli is so nasty, the macaroni’s pasty and the meat is tough as leather. Really, nothing is quite tasty.
So the crying and the moaning and the screaming and the whining start again but now the target isn't sleep it’s homebound dining and I raise my hands in wonder as I look around the table. How can anyone survive? Is anyone out there enabled? Then I
Think about the laughter when times are not so hectic and I know that though my stomach aches it's likely not gone peptic. I see their smiling faces as on swings I push them gently. When I hold their little hands, life could not go more contently.
So the crying and the moaning and the screaming and the kicking play a very tiny part of all the time my life is ticking and the good outweighs the bad. I am more happy than I’m sad. For all of this I should be glad. ** I’ve had it better than my Dad. You bet I have.

Chicken McWhat???
Yes, we are fast food junkies at our house. It's a fact. I swear they put addictive substances in that stuff! So, today, we were enjoying a lovely meal from McDonald's in our car on the way to Walmart (just a perfect afternoon, ya know?), when my 3 year old says, "Mom, there's something hard in my chicken nugget!" I said, "Yes, sometimes you get a piece of yucky gristle in them." He said, "It's really hard." So, I took it from him. This is what I saw...
Ok, there's something very wrong with that, right??? A bone!!! And it wasn't just a little shard of a bone, it was like a whole chicken femur or something! Man, my son could've choked on that. Or at least chipped a tooth. Thank goodness he was sensible enough to take it out of his mouth when he bit into it. We're going to call the customer complaint number in the morning. They probably will just give us a coupon for a free nugget or something! So, I just wanted to share it with you all to help you be more informed. I don't know...I will definitely be thinking twice before rolling through that drive-through again!

Officially Blogged!
Ok...Here I am world! My very first official attempt at blogging!
My name is Lisa, and I'm a 31 year old stay-at-home mom (sahm) of 5! My husband is in pharmacy school (yes, we are officially insane), and so this is my creative escape. :) I love being creative whenever possible, so I created Night Owl Studios...so named, because night time, when my sweet lovelies are fast asleep, is the only time I have to work on crafting.
Checkout my etsy shop and let me know what you think! I love doing custom orders for people, so if you have an idea of something you'd like to have, but don't see it in my shop, just let me know! I'll make it for you.
