Up and running!

I finally got my Etsy store up and running again after a year off. Go look around and see if there is anything you like. All I have in it right now is hair bows, but I will be adding quilts and other merchandise as time goes on. I also updated the "My Etsy Store" page under my header. It has a window of a few of the hair bows I currently have for sale.

Jungle Blanket

For Patrick Christopher who is 35weeks and counting.. I cannot wait to meet this sweet baby!!

For Sophie

Here is another blanket all finished! I love the colors on this one.

Upcoming Baby/Toddler Blankets

This is a sample of my upcoming baby/toddler blankets that I will be working on. They are all from Heather Ross Mendocino Mermaid line which I fell in love with. I cannot wait to get started on these blankets but I am being strong and I am making myself finish the two quilts that I already have started for my shop. Plus I have one baby blanket for a sweet little boy who was do to make his grand appearance into this world about thirty minutes ago that needs to be bound and delivered. I cannot wait to see him!! I also have three large quilts that I need to start, thank goodness school starts on Monday! I can finally sit down and get started and finish all of my projects. The three large quilts are for Christmas presents for family and I cannot wait to see how they are going to turn out.

Sundress

Well I kept seeing dresses similar to these and I just loved them, so I decided to design my own pattern. I think it turned out pretty well. I will be selling these in my store, the dresses are designed to grow with you daughter and eventually turn into a top. It isn't quite finished though, I still have to add the button onto the center of the dress.

Etsy Featured Item!!!

One of my 4th of July hair bows is a featured item on Etsy, I am so excited!! You have to go check it out, you cannot miss my beautiful model our own Cayleigh-Grace!! Did I mention I am beyond EXCITED!!!

An Expensive Week

When it rains it pours doesn't it!! My husband has a VERY large air compressor... well guess what decided to break last week, the motor for it. No big deal right, just go buy a new one... well a new motor for it cost $400... not really sure when that purchase is going to happen. Then Sunday my camera broke, to buy my exact camera again is... just guess... another $400 dollars... that is $800 dollars worth of broken stuff in the course of a week. Thankfully KS bought me a new camera last night. Not the same one of course but that's okay I will just be glad to have a camera back again. It is a Kodak EasyShare Z1012 10.1MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom. I am really hoping that I like it, my cousin uses Kodaks as his backup to his professional camera so I really hope I like it. It does have full manual controls which will be nice.

On a lighter note we took the boys to their first Cub Scouts meeting last night. Technically the are both to young but since Kiale's birthday is late (he will be turning 6 when he starts Kindergarten) we will be able to work around it and he will be able to join. Colin is going to have to wait a while to officially join but he will still be able to participate when we go to the meetings. It was really nice last night they had a bonfire and then did a scavenger hunt in the woods. (and did I have a camera to capture their first meeting... NO!) The Kiale is going to be in the Tiger Den, I love all of the different names for the age groups, its so cute!!

I opened up my own Etsy shop today. Their isn't anything in it yet since I do not have a camera as of right now, but when I am able to list some items I will post it on here so everyone can go check it out!! I am really excited about it. I even had a lady offer to buy one of Cayleigh-Grace's hair bows while I was at the mall this weekend, I was so excited!! Hopefully it will go well.
