I only need the list, not the messages (those are for the pouch holder only I think!). And yes- PLEASE add the valentine with the feather and the butterfly button to my tab! You are the supercraftiest mama I know- R
Boy am I in trouble when your etsy store opens!

I'll go make the list and post it for you. If you want the messages too, let me know..otherwise it can be a nice surprise. Before I do that however, I'm going to post the valentine fabric cards I made.. I HATE valentine's day with a passion and I really need to find some peace there so I decided to make something..They are the marriage of two things I LOVE; letter writing and fabric...let me know what you think when you see them.

I should embroider it for the kitchen- good idea Julia!
The fairy blessing bags were what I was thinking of (but the others sound fun too);)Yes, please tell me the words you have. I feel I need a fresh one and then a couple for girlfriend's valentines. Jack is hard to take out in the snow as well- he is fine for 10 minutes if that and then just cries- poor thing, Bella was never that way. They are all so particular!
Have a peaceful night, Rebekka

That is the most AMAZING fairy chant..have you embroidered that yet? I love it!! Putting your box together today..Its been so much fun!!
Regarding the fairy pouches..are you referring to the making the fairy wishes..the little bags filled with dried flowers and herbs with the fairy spell to make a wish? OR are you referring to the fairy blessing bags that are the linen stitched ones with the word and the message printed on the ribbon? I have plenty of both. If you want a fairy blessing bag I'll give you a list of the words and you can pick one that resonates with you and I'll send it along!!!
I've been having a super fun day today.. I wish I felt more comfortable taking the baby out in the snow to play.. She just won't keep her mittens on so her hands get bright red right away..bummer....gotta keep trying though!!
My love to you and yours!

Julia-
The setbacks are all quite minor thankfully- just trips postponed and such. TRANSFORMATION- I will embroider it later while I consider it, this seems to be my favored way of taking an idea in lately! Thank you thank you for my special day today, a candle for me and all- you are too sweet. Our day here started with fairy snow as well and I went off to the post office first thing with a fun package for you so keep an eye out for it;)
Have a lovely afternoon- I bet you are in the kitchen with a cup of tea right now, Rebekka
P.S. When Isabella blows out our dinner candles she says ' goodnight fire fairies thank you for your light, there go the smoke fairies up into the night' and then holds her hands out with palms up- can you imagine;)

Rebekka goddess!! I am taking a deep breath....ahhhhhhhh! We had the most beautiful snow this morning. Just lovely! The quiet, the calm that accompanies snow is something that always puts a smile on my face. I ran some errands this morning so just got home a little while ago...Had some lunch with the kids..now they are off playing and I have a few moments..
I took a deep breath and pictured you surrounded in brilliant bubble-like glowy light. I "chimed-in " and selected your angel card. It is a single word printed on a tag size piece of card stock type paper.. it is the word that you are encouraged to consider for the day.. Your word is 'TRANSFORMATION'. The center candle on my piano is lit in honor of you and when I blow it out tonight I will be thinking about anything that might be heavy and weighing you down.. I will put those things into the smoke and smile as I watch them rise and dissipate.
I have to send out a very warm fuzzy thank you for your generous words..I'm so happy my goofy message struck a positive chord for you! It is so hard to be centered when bombarded..It is so challenging to be positive when so much seems sensationally negative and despairing. It is so hard to feel together when being pulled in multi-directions...BUT a very simple and soothing thing to do in spite of it all is to smile....
Much love to you. I hope your setbacks are nothing more than opportunities for positive re-direction.
cheers~julia

Julia-
You have me grinning ear to ear every time we talk mama. When I called you over the holiday I was so inspired by the positivity and pure joy in your outgoing message and it really reminded me how vital it is for a home to have a centering person whose job it is to be encouraging. Since then I have to say I have been much more positive in the face of the numerous 'setbacks' and daily dramas and the family is feeling the love! So THANK YOU from all of us. Bella is between a 4 or 5T- she is tall and skinny. I would love to order a few of your little fairy pouches sometime soon- do you have any made right now? I can't wait to see what my angel card says- How spoiled will I be to be celebrated all day!!!! You have the most generous heart. By the way- the pictures of your little ones are on display in Bella's room, she says you are all coming here to play and she wants them to see the pictures up;)
You can bet that Bella will be in that race car driver costume straight away- she is SO into dress up. Can you email me your address one more time, I know I have it but where?

You Goddess.. Is Bella a 4T or somewhere in that neighborhood? This is spooky but I SWEAR I saw the scarf and immediately thought, "that is so me!!" I also have to say that I just finished a black pair of pants for Aria but I was thinking of Bella the ENTIRE time I was making them. Honest to Goddess! I'm sending them to you.. I will put together a box of goodies for you...hand me downs and such...The costume will be WAY too big right now but I bet Bella will love it in the interim. Hard to believe that Reo has outgrown it!
I am going to celebrate you all day tomorrow.. I will begin by picking your angel card.. I'll write (if I'm still connected) and let you know what your word is and we'll take it from there!!
Much love to you! ~Julia

Julia-
You are too sweet, I just assumed we would catch up later this month after we all recovered from the holidays! Internet connections make me crazy- it is amazing to me how dependent we have become in such a short time. I would love some little boy hand me downs and the costume, broken in just right by your little guy! And Bella would love some pants- I bet Wilma's lace is just divine on them;)hmmm- black or whatever you think would suit her would be perfect..just send me a bill;)
This scarf is so YOU- I kept thinking that when I picked out the silk and began sewing it up as a matter of fact. I am happy you saw it that way too-serendipity. I love the loop as I am not ever losing my scarf under the car or on the front steps as I haul in kids, firewood or groceries!!! I will pop it in the mail for you tomorrow.
Happy New Year Pal- Rebekka
For the rest of you gals- I will whip up some more scarves this week so let me know if you too must have one;)

GORGEOUS!!!! I literally gasped!
Rebekka, I fear I owe you a HUGE apology for being such a flake!! I got your phone message and I feel like a HUGE shmuck for not returning your call yet!! We've had intermittent satellite action for weeks now so I've been off-line since the holidays. We're hoping to have the problem resolved tomorrow or Tuesday.. Today, we seem to have a connection but it could go at any time.. Its been really frustrating.. Still, there are a zillion excuses I could come with but gee whiz, the bottom line for me is finding that balance between the needs of the kids and giving myself a little time to stay on top of my game.. Connecting with people I hold dear seems to get placed to the back burner sometimes. I am so sorry!!!!
Just wondering...do you have any need for little boy clothes? hand-me down types? I also have an adorable race car driver costume (given to me by my sister) that I'd be happy to pass along if you want it.. Let me know and I'll box up some stuff for you! I've been sewing fleece pants for Aria and Rianna recently..adding some of Miss Wilma's lace to the ankles and waist..TOOOO cute... Would you like a pair of pants for Bella?? what color..I have black, red, (a nice red too not too neon bright), mustard yellow, gray, orange with large smeary pumpkins... I know I have other choices but those have patterns on them like dots and so forth..cute too.. Let me know if you could use some and I'll include them for you to try..check out wear and tear etc....
In the meantime, I would like to order this scarf! The secret little loop-through TOTALLY does it for me!!
You are a dear!!
Many cheers!
Julia Hayes

Rebekka- As soon as I have some cash- I will place my order! Do you already have the fabric? Is there any way you could dye the silk black? (their ranch colors are Red and Black)

Hi Rebekka! I have had that issue with photobucket myself. Sometimes re-pasting the URL link for the picture fixes the problem, sometimes logging out of Photobucket helps. I am not sure why this happens- it seems to be a newish glitch of Photobucket as I had never had this issue until last week.
By the way- how many of those beautiful scarves can you make? I have three really wonderful friends that I think would love those.
