On Sale Today: Owl Earflap Hat!

Regular $23        Sale $18.50

     Stop by today to take advantage of the sale price on this adorable owl earflap hat! It can be customized any way you want, any color combination. These are just three samples but stop by my shop and click on a listing and see the color options available. You can have lots of fun with this one!! Makes an adorable prop for your little ones photos.

     I am working on a few new styles of hats coming soon!! In between orders and playing with my three little ones, there isn't a ton of time for new creations but I will finish them over time. My daughter is two months old now and in a short time I'm hoping the sleeping gets a little better to give me more energy during the day. With a good nights sleep, you never know what I can create! Now if only that would come sooner than later...haha! 

Happy Monday!

Sneak Peek

     Here is a sneak peek at a few of my new items coming to my shop! I reopened my shop yesterday but won't have the new items listed until this weekend. I am waiting for the CD of images from the photographer and cannot wait to see the other pictures!

     My wonderful friend Gina came with me and let her precious little boy model for me along with my new little bundle of joy. We had such a fun time and the kids were amazing. I think he definitely has a future in modeling :)

     I am hoping in a few months from now if things go well I will make other styles and do another photo shoot. I brought in everything that I had so that there would be a good variety but if you do go and look, please remember that everything is made to order so you are able to customize each hat the way you want with the colors that are available. I am so excited to start making these and hope to see some of the photos taken of the beautiful babies wearing the hats I've created.

It's a Girl!

     Long time, no blog! But....I think it is with good reason :)  My daughter was born three weeks ago!!! She joins a very excited older brother & sister. She has kept me busy over the last few weeks but I finally feel like we are settling into a routine. After a bit of jaundice, reflux and a minor cold, things seem to be getting better.

     We had a pretty decent snow storm this morning which always makes it a bit harder to get three kids bundled up to go anywhere. Anxiously awaiting Spring!! Can't wait until we can all throw on a pair of sandals and run out the door as is :)

     Currently, my Etsy Shop is on vacation while I enjoy the new addition to our family. I plan to open it up in the next two weeks or so and it will be a bit different than before. I am transitioning it to crochet baby hats and diaper covers only. I have found my love for crocheting again and frankly, I don't have a ton of time for sewing anymore. Crocheting is easy to do anywhere and travels nicely. Eventually, I would like to open up a second shop to sell my nursing covers and nursing pads in but don't want to overwhelm myself right now. I really enjoy making those as well but until the kids get a bit bigger, I am taking a sewing break.

     I have some photo shoots with my hats and a few babies coming up so when the pictures are ready to go, the shop will be back up. I have to say I have missed my shop and all of my friends I have met through there and all of you and can't wait to get back to it. I will definitely post an update when it is up and running so you can check it out!!

Time for some R&R

     It's that time of year again. We are headed up north to our fall getaway!! This will be our 9th year going there and I am just as excited as if it were the first. My hubby took me there to celebrate our one year dating anniversary and we are now celebrating our nine year dating anniversary. I love that we still celebrate that, it is a wonderful thing. Now, we are accompanied by our two children, next year it will be three :)

     Looking forward to cozy fires, fun swimming and holiday movie watching with my family. It is a time when we get away from everything and enjoy each others company. Every year we go there are only about 5 other couples staying there since we go mid-week in the off peak time so the pool is usually ours to ourselves. The kids love it! There is a 60% chance of snow up there on Wednesday so I'm crossing my fingers they are right! There is nothing more beautiful than looking out the bedroom windows out to Lake Superior and seeing the snow falling while cozy in bed with the fireplace on and your husband and kids cuddling together. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Two days til vacation mode!

So I am at my mom & dad's house (we come over here every Friday night) and we are actually sewing!!! We always make this big plan to get all of this sewing done and be really productive and I would say one out of four night we actually are. Luckily, this was one of them! We are two weeks away now from a craftshow we are in and we are realizing we still have a lot to get done.

Tonight my mom is working on fabric coasters and I am working on baby shoes. The shoes are turning out super cute and I am really excited about them!! I will be adding them to my Etsy shop soon. I have some done but I might wait until after the craftshow is over to list them so I can bring the ones I have done there and not have to frantically make more.

Tomorrow I will spend part of my day packing the family's bags because we are heading up north to Duluth for 3 days!! This will be our 8th time up there. My husband brought me there for our 1 year dating anniversary and we loved the place we stayed so much that we go back every year. We even stay in the same room every time. It is on the top floor at the very end so it's very quiet and peaceful. There is usually 5 or less other couples that are there at the same time since it's during the week and off peak season. My daughter loves it because there is never anyone in the pool, we have the whole thing to ourselves.

I can't believe that it started with our 1 year anniversary and now, 8 years later, we are still celebrating there married for 4 years and 2 beautiful children. I hope we are able to go up there every year still to come and keep it a tradition for our kids as well. I am hoping for snow (I do every year) because there is nothing more beautiful than waking up in the morning watching it snow over Lake Superior. It is supposed to be a warmer week ahead so snow probably won't happen but I will still hope for it :)
