I was hired by someone on Craigslist to make their window treatments for their new home… I was so excited to be given to opportunity to show off my custom sewing talent!
She showed me some photos of what she was looking for, and gave me the fabric she had already purchased.
Here’s an example of what I was able to make for her!
Faux Roman Shade

Sliding Door Drapes:

Well, What do you think?

I was looking around at the store the other day, and found these loops for attaching charms, etc to your cell phone! I was excited and came home and made these out of some seed beeds, and Swarovski Crystal I had lying around… I tried to design the beads to match the colors the charm would be…
As always, these items are available for purchase now by emailing me. They will also be available for purchase when our online store is opened! Stay tuned for more information about that!

I made my first watch the other day.. and it was sold within minutes!!! Found a watch face while I was out shopping, and figured I’d give it a try! I loved the way the Sterling Silver, Blue Swarovski Crystal, and Freshwater Pearl all went together so well. Of course, this can be done in any color imaginable. I think it’d make a beautiful Mother’s Watch too, by adding children’s initials and birthstones..


If you’d like one too, please feel free to contact me with your request! I’d love to make a custom watch for you!

Hi everyone, I’m Anne, the other half of Mommy Brain Life. Monica and I are so excited about our upcoming ventures, we have so many plans and you all will play a big role in all that we decide to do. There’s an abundance of crafts we’re planning on adding to the site, and like Monica said, forums, galleries and tons of other stuff… but for starters you’ll be seeing some digital scrapbooking designs, crocheted items and fabulous jewelery. Monica is a whiz with a crochet needle and the jewelry she makes is very sought after. I like to design stuff on my trusty computer and have been a complete digital scrapbooking addict for about two years now.
Monica (or Moni as she is fondly known) and I met over a year ago on an online twin parenting community. Yes, we’re both twin mommies!! She is the proud mom of the most beautiful identical twin girls who turned two this summer and I have boy/girl twins who are racing towards their 3rd birthday in November. We both hit it off immediately and enjoy a friendship which has seen many ups and some downs, loads of laughter and fun and continues to grow every day.
By the end of this week we should have some treats for you so check in when you can. We’re open to suggestions and comments so please leave us a few.
Thanks for stopping by!! See you again soon!!

Hi! My name is Monica, and I’m half of the creative force behind Mommy Brain Life. My friend Anne and I got together one day and were talking about how much we really loved our craftiness.

We plan on including forums, and a store where we can offer some of our creations for sale! There will be so much going on here in the coming months. We really hope you enjoy visiting our site, and keep coming back for more!
If anything we create is something you’d like to have.. please let us know! We would be more than happy to custom create something for you!
