What I've been up to

I've been keeping myself pretty busy. My sales on Etsy have been pretty good, considering it is the summer months and I do sell hats...

Speaking of hats, I've got a few more hats photographed by the lovely Kelly Cicero.







I'm also working with another semi-local photographer, Jamie Lynn.




And here is a fun photo that a customer sent in and granted me permission to use:



With all the crocheting I've been doing lately I have really felt the need to find another creative outlet. Here's what I've come up with:

A new peasant style dress for Emma. I made it out of a thrifted floral bed sheet. I just love the vintage look of it!





Candles. I made these candles out of baby food jars. Back when Jacob was eating baby food he refused to eat anything green that I would make for him-- which resulted in MANY baby food jars. Maybe it's the hoarder in me... but they are neatly stacked in a cabinet just waiting to be used for some kind of projects, or perhaps even donated to a school.



And here is Emma modeling a new hat listed in my Etsy shop. I never did get around to taking some nice photographs of her in her birthday dress I made for her, so these will do!








Mr. Jacob's birthday is right around the corner. I have a few ideas swirling around in my head. If I were a smart girl I'd get started working on them now so I am not waiting until last minute. A horrible situation I find myself in much too often.
