This week flew by!!! I was hoping to get some time in to get some photos done and get a few new products up on my Etsy store but that didn't happen. We've been so busy trying to get things set up at the new house I just didn't have time. I did make another hat this week in the evenings when we finally got to sit down and relax (sorry no photo, one will come soon). With all this time away from crafting I have so many ideas floating around in my head that I want to make


Since I have no crafts to share I'm sharing this website. It's full of crafty ideas and inspiration. Its definitly worth taking some time to look at.

The big move.....and then back to normal

My husband and I are finally moving into our new house this weekend!


We closed on June 30th but have taken most of the month to get some work done on the house before we moved into it. We started out just thinking we would do some painted on the inside and fix up the yard for now but we ended up also getting new carpet and re-doing the kitchen. I'm so glad we decided to do this now rather then wait a few months after we moved in. I think its much easier this way, not having to pack up our stuff again for the work crews.


Since we have been doing so much work on the house I haven't been able to give my crafts and store much attention. My husband and I are both so excited to get moved into the new house this weekend so that we can get things back to normal and back to our routines. During this moving/remodeling process we really found that we like our routine.


Even though we've been so busy I have had a little time to crochet. I've finally got the hat pattern down and have made a few this month. I just completed one last night for a friend's little boy. I'm hoping once we get the new house unpacked to get some photos done and get them online.

This is the hat I completed for her little one. Now he just had to try it on to see if it fits!

My First Craft Fair

Today was my first craft fair. I was really stressed about it and could not sleep on Friday night because I was actually a little nervous. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. It was over Arts Fest weekend so I think that took away a lot of people who may have visited this one. It was a great place to connect with other vendors and great networking opportunities, plus I sold a few things so it wasn't a total loss for the day.
