Thanks a bunch Rach.. and best of luck with your shop.

We're Back! Sort of!! :*)

We'll I've been out of the loop forever. I sincerely apologize for not even having the time to keep my blog updated. I'll do a quick synopsis of the last 9 months of my life.

I had my son Jan. 3rd.. super cute, healthy, and the sweetest little guy you'll ever meet!

March I took the kids home (WA state) for a visit with all the grandparents and family.

Mid March - hurt my back - had to have a micro disectamy on my lower spine.. yikes! Wasn't fun, although quite the blessing that it happened in WA where I had all my family to help with my kids. This turned my 3 week trip to WA state into a 3 Month stay while I healed.

Late June returned home to Florida... and slowly tried to get into a routine by myself with the kids. I flew my brother back with me to help for 2 weeks and ended up putting him to work painting the kids rooms and helping me decorate them. I hadn't even had my son's room together yet.

August... my oldest daughter celebrated her 4th birthday and started pre-school... Tears... and Tears of Joy. Scary and fun all at the same time. She's so ready for the stimulation... mommy just wasn't quite ready to let my first baby start the never ending path of school days and letting go. She's doing fantastic by the way!!

That leads me to now! I'm slowly getting time to work on my shop. Although it's been really hard now that I've given up my craft room to my son. I now share the playroom as my craft room. This makes it super challenging especially now that I have a son crawling who likes to stick everything in his mouth! Yikes! So I've decided to focus on smaller runs, completely hand-sewn items. I am really enjoying this now since I can focus on the best part of having my own shop which is creating what I love and focusing on the details.

I just listed some of my latest projects. Some hair bow holders - for all that couture hair candy you buy. I've also made some felt puppets and some hand embroidered artwork. Here are a few pics above.

Thanks for all the kind and loving words. My customers never cease to amaze me. I truly am blessed with the best customers.

Heres to you, CHEERS!

Couture Hair Candy Collection

I am so excited to introduce my latest collection. I call it my Couture Hair Candy line. Every little peice handcut, handsewn by myself. I've included sparkly touches such as sequence and glass beads. I hope you can appreciate the details in these pictures. I think they look so much cuter in person, and I really tried to take the best pictures I could. Argh... but I'm no photographer and I do get easily frustrated.

Anyways... if you feel like you haven't heard from me in a while it's probably because it's true! I've been a little out of the game lately due to my recent pregnancy, but now well into the 2nd trimester I felt my energy spike and my nesting instinct has kicked right in. This new line is the result of all those nesting instincts. I hope you love how they turned out as much as I have enjoyed working on them. Thanks again to all my supporters out there. I now have 135 blogger subscribers which personally I feel is quite the accomplishment considering my little place in this world. I'm so blessed to have all that love out there. Here's to you! Cheers!
