Choose joy...

Life can be crazy at times... I tell myself numerous times every day to "choose joy" no matter what is going on. Because yes, quite often it is a choice. I myself have found that saying it resets my attitude in a way...focusing less on myself & focusing more on God, who is ever faithful. God, who has blessed me beyond anything I could ever asked for or imagined. He is my backbone...a constant reminder that there's plenty of things to be joyful about. 

*like the bracelet? It was a gift from my sweet cousin CaryAnn, who has an incredible shop: www.beweeshop.com

Go check it out!

*curious about what I'm crocheting? Those are soon-to-be boot cuffs in a brilliant shade of pink! I'm planning on listing them in my shop, that is, if I don't keep them for myself :)

Boot cuffs in the works...

Just a quick sneak peak...I've been trying out a few boot cuffs lately...whipped up in glorious hand dyed merino wool & alpaca...hopefully I'll perfect them & place a few in the shop very soon!

summer sale time...

If you know me, you know I love a sale. I really despise paying full price for anything. So I thought I'd extend that love of a bargain to any of you who share in my sentiments...

That's right. 30% off everything in the store. Everything.
Ends Friday.
Plus I've added new items like headbands.
Time to stock up on those baby gifts.

Take me to the pool!

Finished up a custom order this week for an oilcloth beach bag. This is such a beautiful & functional accessory for trips to the pool or weekend trips to the beach. It is made of premium double-sided oilcloth, and can be wiped clean or even hosed out. The handles are triple reinforced & wrap around the bottom of the bag for extra support. The exterior boasts six deep pockets, roomy enough for tubes of sunscreen, snacks, or a couple magazines. The interior is roomy enough to hold 5 beach towels (believe it! I tried it out!) & tons of other necessities. These are going to be my new go-to gift for friends & family members. I mean seriously, what mom couldn't use a giant carry all to hold half of her house and then some?

 

 

And guess what? These two one-of-a-kind beauties below are now in the shop. Online only. Get 'em while they last.

a new dress....

 This little chick is totally into dresses lately, the first thing she does each morning is put on a "fancy dress" with matching shoes. Often times in the afternoon she will change into a new frock for our dinner (even when we are staying home for dinner). She picks her fanciest dresses to play in the dirt in, or run around outside.
So anyway, I let her pick out fabrics to 'create' her very own dress this week. I used pieces of a pattern I had just picked up & got to work.
It has great fabrics, and perfect twirlability, which is a win win in my book (and hers).

 

Clips, clips, beautiful clips!!!

Hello lovelies.,.just a little FYI: after years of saying I'd do it, I actually did it! Clips are now available for purchase in the etsy shop!
Whew!
It's about dang time.
So, what else do you want to see in the shop?
