One of my favorite quotes!!!

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

-Wayne Gretzky

I don't know why that is my favorite. I know my dad has a sticker that says that and it just makes so much sense. So thank you dad for having that huge vinyl sticker just sitting ontop of your fireplace mantel waiting for a place to be stuck! It's stuck in my head. :)

SHOP ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

I really want to see some shows while I am in Vegas. I promised my husband that I would save 100% of my sales as my spending money!!!

I'm begging for sales now! I want to see Blue Man Group and Zumanity (possibly). Free shipping will be extended in my store indefinately!!!!

Please help fund my vegas trip! :)

It's official!!!!

I'm going to Vegas in June with my husband, brother and sister-in-law! I'm so excited! We'll be there for 6 days!!!!! June 17th won't come soon enough!!!!

FREE SHIPPING in my etsy store!

I'm taking a break for a minute! I'm adjusting all the shipping prices in my etsy store, what a chore that is!!! I'm having free shipping (US only) until the end of April! I want stuff moving out of my store so I can list some more items! I have an evening planned tonight, making bows and drinking a glass (or two) of wine. Please visit my store! If something hasn't been adjusted, it just means I had to take another break!!!

April 18,2008 and it is SNOWING!!! What the heck!? I live about 30 minutes from Seattle, WA!

Time for FLIP FLOPS!!!

I couldn't resist making a pair (or two) of these adorable flip flops!!! I'm thinking of selling these in my etsy store. It's just a matter of deciding what sizes to stock!! I'll be making some for boys too! I haven't finished them yet but will post when they are done!!!

Here is my first pair of flip flops! I used a 1.5" cherry grosgrain ribbon for the bow and completely wrapped the straps with ribbon. I tried them on to make sure they were comfortable and they are perfect. I have a feeling I'll be keeping these for myself. :)

Here are Breanna's flop flop (as she calls them). I used two colors of ribbon to wrap her straps and used a dragonfly print ribbon for the bows. She loves them!

Check back tomorrow for Brayden's flop flops!!!

What a beautiful day today!

I live pretty close to Seattle, WA (about 30 minutes) and where I live, it was 80 degrees! Can you believe that? Tomorrow is a whole other story though! Supposed to be cloudy and 60 degrees. I was able to mow the lawns today too! My kids don't have to play in a jungle anymore. :)

Today I made a cute little combo set for my store. Tiff705 (Sarah) made this cute ladybug crochet pattern and let me test it. I decided to combine both crocheting and my ribbon skills! I think my poor little ladybug stuffy needs some eyes though.

And a picture

My cute kids!

Here is my daughter modeling some bows for me. I could NOT get her to sit still for a moment just to take a decent picture of my new bows. This is the best I could come up with. Little stinker, but oh so cute!

Here is by far, my favorite picture so far this year. This is a very rare moment in our house. usually they are fighting or doing their own thing!

A few of my favorite things!

Here is a picture of my daughter, Breanna, in a pink and brown hat!

One of my favorite style hats to make! This hat is made with 100% cotton in blue and brown. I also have a matching tutu that goes with it!

Here is a custom order for 11 woven headbands and 22 korkers! That was fun to make! I love how it looks like a bunch of flowers!!!!

I have a bunch more to show you!
