The winner is Brenda Butler! I am making a hat. It is a boy hat. It was intended for my son, but it is too small, which is crazy since I even measured his head for it! So, it will have to go to someone who is having a baby boy or has a boy younger than my little one!

Going to Start Posting More Often:)

Sorry that this blog has been so neglected:(

My goal from now on is to be more active!!! I have come up with a new idea for my business but need some input on it!!! I am thinking of starting a crochet flower club. You would get three crochet flowers, one for each of the three months (the first three months would be Oct., Nov., and Dec.) for $12. That is $1 cheaper than them individually and with FREE SHIPPING!!! Orders would be due by Sept. 20th and all three crochet flowers would be mailed out on Oct. 1. You would get to have some choices on the buttons or color of flowers but some would be set by me. Would you be interested? If this goes well, then every three months, I would offer a new selection. Please let me know your thoughts! Would you purchase this?? Would you recommend to friends?? Please let me know....that way I can decide if I want to give this a try or not!!! Thanks!! Below are some samples of my crochet flowers.

Winner!!!!

The Winner is Robyn!! Congratulations Robyn! Please e-mail me about your prizes! Thank you to everyone who participated!!

Plastic Canvas Blocks

I recently put up a new item in my Etsy Shop which is a set of alphabet blocks made of plastic canvas. The money from the sale will go to Elizabeth's New Life Center which is a wonderful organization here in Ohio that helps to protect the lives of unborn babies and also provides the parents with classes to help them learn how to care for their new bundle of joy. My grandfather helped this organization for the time that it started so the money will be given in his name since he passed away a few months ago. I am also excited because I was finally able to feature my sweet little boy on Etsy!!! He is the model in the pictures on the site. Here are the pictures of the blocks.






I have also made some other blocks which I might, in the future, be putting on Etsy. My husband's aunt made him and two of his brothers (he had one brother that wasn't born yet) plastic cubes for the christmas tree with their names on them. My nephew LOVED his Daddy's, so I made him one....and then made one for almost everyone in the family! Maybe this year I will make one for me! Here are pics of Gia's and Joshy's blocks.





The final set of blocks are blocks that are personalized for the child's name. Each block has 4 sides of one letter of their name with a pattern on the top and bottom. So far, I have been able to get a different pattern for each block, but I hope to one day do a whole alphabet with 26 blocks and I don't know if I can come up with that many different patterns. The girl ones are pink and purple and the boy ones are light blue and dark blue. Here are a few pictures of girl ones and boy ones.











When I named my shop, I wanted something that would allow me to sell other items, not just bows. I am waiting to see if my alphabet set sells....if it does, I might like individual blocks that people could pick letters for their kids names (I would show pics of done ones and have them ready except for the letters so that once I got an order, all I would need to do is add the letters and sew it together), like I did for Regina's (Gia) and James. I might also put up the Chistmas blocks closer to Christmas but those are limited to 6 letters. Let me know what you think! I always love to hear feedback from the people who would be buying the items!

Major Freak Out!!!!!

So, this morning I had a major freak out that I thought I would share with all of you. Joshy and I were having breakfast. He had wanted an egg this morning. I have been trying to get him to want one at least once a week to get him more used to them since he had "outgrown his allergy". He had, much to my suprise, eaten his WHOLE egg and wanted another one. I happily made him a second one. He was half way through the second one when I notice him stratching. He had only a diaper on since he had wet his clothes sometime during the night. I pull out his chair and red blotches were all over his entire stomach!!!



I was starting to get worried. I took him out of his seat and his whole back was covered in red bloches too!



His mouth was also blochy.



I took the pictures so if the allergist asked me "what exactly did it look like" I could show him. Gave him a bath and got some benadryl in him. Then, it was time to call the allergist. The nurse was very suprised but said, "Don't let him eat any more eggs" (I had already figured that one out!) and that they would call later to let us know what else to do. Thankfully, his bloches went away after about a half an hour......but Mommy can't take this happening very often!!!! He is now sound asleep.....he feel asleep in less than five minutes and I have a feeling the benadryl has some to do with that.

The item I won!!!

This is the beautiful foor plaque that I won from SnickerDoodle Kids Art!!!! All I did was tell her my son's name and a theme and she came up with this wonderful plaque!!!! She also makes really cute bow holders....perfect to hold Lizzie's Lovelies Bows!!! Please visit her at http://snickerdoodlekids.blogspot.com or join her facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Evansville-IN/SnickerDoodle-Kids-Art/197427879062?ref=ts.

YEAH!!!!!

I WON TODAY!!!!! I never win anything and because of Deal Wise Mommy (wonderful site, her button is on the side and if you like to win free stuff make sure to join her blog!:) and Snickerdoodle kids art (http://snickerdoodlekids.blogspot.com) I won a great sign for Joshy's room!!! It is going to be designed with different sports balls on it (I know, Joshy's all time favorite thing!) I can't wait to see it and I will definately post a pic once I get it.
Joshy was also excited today because Grandma and Grandpa Eighmey got him a really cool big wheel (more like a tricycle but they wanted a big wheel). HE LOVES IT!!! His legs are too short so he can't quite reach the pedals but he has learned how to push using his feet! He was having soooooo much fun riding it and playing with Grandma! I only took video today since he was soooo cute but I will try to get some pics tomorrow to post.

Opinion's wanted!!!!

So, I made a new headband tonight. I REALLY like it....for myself, but I want to know what my customers think. Would you buy this for yourself (an adult)? Would you buy this for your baby? Would you buy this for your daughter (grade school, middle school, or high school)? Please let me know what you think so I can decide if I should add these to my store. Thanks so much!!!!
