owl fly away

One of the friendkidly shop partners Linsey, along with her husband and two young sons, have been evacuated from their home due to this weekend’s fires in Yorba Linda, CA. They vacated around noon on Saturday and as of Sunday evening have yet to receive the go ahead to return. Because the not knowing was too much to bare Linsey’s husband parked as close as possible to their house, trekked across a dry riverbed and walked a few miles to ensure that their abode was still standing. Thank the Lord, their entire community was unscathed minus a burnt children’s play structure. They happen to live in one of the major hot spots so this was/is quite a blessing. The fires are not completely contained but we hope and pray that they are in the clear. Please join us in those prayers…thank you.

(nothing to do with politics…I promise)

So in the very near future this blog will be getting a new name and url. Friendkidly has been bequeathed to the friendkidly etsy shop partnership and will soon host a blog dedicated to sewing and making and that kind of stuff. This little blog’s future name is Owl Fly Away and will be found at www.owlflyaway.com. This transformation will hopefully take place before the end of this coming weekend…hopefully. In case you’re interested, Owl Fly Away will also serve as the brand name for the products I create and a logo is in the works.

I will send out a final post on this site when the other is up and running.

Halloween turned into a two day of wearing a costume event for Charlotte. You can’t really blame me for putting a stinking cute tutu on her as much as possible. She has even asked to wear her tutu a few times since on her own accord, I swear. We met up with friends at the Fullerton Market on the evening before Halloween but poor Charlotte was suffering from a congested sinus condition and was in a horrible mood. She managed to last for a couple of hours however and seemed to enjoy the company of friends and all of the creepy people dressed up for the holiday. On Halloween evening we went to Linsey’s folks house for some chili and trick or treating. We figure it’s about time for Charlotte to start working off some of what she owes us and lucky for her we accept payment in the form of candy Here’s a few pictures of our sweet autumn fairy donned in a homemade and very puffy costume. Who knew having a girl would make me so into tulle?
