I need Opinions please....

Working on some new things. I am trying to expand my shop a bit and offer some "new items". My problem is that I am so picky about the pictures that I usually dont put them up until I get pictures back from my photography. But then that could take sometime so I thought I would put them up anyways. I just feel that it makes my store look so unfinished and not right. But maybe that is me. What d you usually do when you make something new? Do you post it or do you wait for "professional" pictures. My camera and knowledge on how to take pictures is not good enough to get good quality pictures for a good looking shop at all time.. Help is it just me or should I wait and not post them yet.

Here is a preview of what I have added. A new double pom pom hat, a caterpillar cocoon and a newsboy and diaper cover set.

Peanut Butter and Jelly

Who does not love a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I know that it has always been one of my favorites. Well I am always trying to think of ways to make up creative and cute stuff for twins and this is what came to mind. I even made a red one for the Jelly too. I could not decide between grape or strawberry. I have not been around blogging in a long time. Kids, family, work, sports and my store have kept me away. But I am going to make an effort to blog more. I am starting some great new projects and cant wait to share. Dont forget to check out This-n-That Boutique to see what is new.

Make It a Cupcake Monday

I have a love for baking and I found a blog called Confessions of a Cookbook Queen .

She has endless numbers of different Cupcake recipes. The good thing about cupcakes when you have 7 kids is they are easy to give out as dessert. So I thought that On Monday's my day I dont usually work that I would try a recipe of hers. Today I tried the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cupcake. I made a few changes when I made mine but pretty much followed it perfectly. The recipe was so easy to follow and I am going to love trying them. The steps were easy too...1. Bake the cupcakes 2. cut the hole in the center 3. make the cheesecake filling. 4 fill the cupcakes 5. top with crumble and mini reeses. So simple and so yummy. Stay tuned for next weeks cupcake Monday.

Something NEW and Unique

I got this pattern from the Inner Hooker and just love it. I am always looking for something unique for my shop and this is nothing like what I have seen really before. This Bee hat goes on the babies head and then the Bee bottom goes right on their "bottom". So cute even with a stinger. I am just in love with it and cant wait to get it photographed. It's called Bee Hat and Tush Topper. I already have in my head some other things you can do like maybe a Zebra, a bird with feathers on the tail. What do you think can be done with this one? Love to hear your comment.

Where Have I Been??

I have been gone so long that I dont even know where to start. I am sorry to any fans that have missed me. I got busy with work and I have been working on some great things for my Etsy Shop... If you have not been by in awhile stop by and see what is new. I have a few pictures here to show you some of the things. I have so many new things in the works, I am even starting on Halloween, Fall and Christmas. I have been working hard and not really having much time for anything else, but I miss blogging. So I will make a promise to get back into it at least a few times a week. I am even over 1000 fans on my Facebook Page, when I get to 1500 HUGE giveaway in the works. Would you like to be a vendor?? Comment if interested.

Another Day Another Amazing Photographer

I do Adore these Hooded Baby Cocoons and when I saw this yarn I just had to make one. Now that I see it all together and a beautiful baby in it. I think that we work so hard and try our best to create something out of love and put our all in it. I know when I crochet I have spent many nights taking things apart and starting all over because maybe one stitch is not right. I always put 150 percent into anything I do and that includes my crafts. My thinking is that I would not make something that I would not use on my own baby or child. With that said that is how I feel Sarah from Sarah Crank Photography works. She did the most amazing job on these pictures and she put her all in them as I would put my all in the products she used. I could not have asked for anything better and I am in amazement every time I look at them. Thank you so much Sarah. I look forward to working with you again!!

Cant get enough of these amazing pictures....

Another day of some wonderful pictures that I just cant stop looking at. I decided to try out a Mini Blanket Photo Prop and it just turned out adorable. I just love it and I made it out of some fluffy yarn so that it would look nice and fluffy and textured in the pictures. It works up nice and thick and makes a good padding to lay the baby on if you are just using a flat service. It is good to put in a prop like a bowl or basket. It is always good to use to swaddle the baby with. The blanket is 20 inches by 20 inches and a perfect size to be used in various ways. I am just so happy how it turned out and cant think of anything I would change about it. I think it would even look good in some other types of yarns too. What do you think? Thank you to Sarah from Sarah Crank Photography for her most beautiful breath taking pictures!!

Been a Good Day!

I have had such a good day today, actually a pretty good week. Monday was my day off and I spent the whole day away from the computer. I even went to play bingo with my husband and some friends. Something I have not done in a long time. Tuesday I did laundry and cleaned and finished up some orders that I got out today. Today I woke up to a busy day. Did my first class of Yoga, signed up my 4 year old for her first dance classes that start tomorrow. Ran some errands, had some yummy mexican food for lunch with my husband, took a nap, and when I woke up from my nap I had some really good surprises. I had these new pictures that Casey From Chasing Lilies Photography did for me of my New Owl Hats. I just love the job she did and she sent me tons of pictures. Another one of my surprises was another adorable hat that I made for Amber from Cross My Heart Designs. I didnt even know that she was sending me them. Her daughter is so adorable and the pictures turned out just perfect. I love this NEW Beanie with Loopy Flower in such bright spring colors.

So today started out well and my

little surprises just made it tha

t much better. I am so excited because tomorrow is another tentative photo shoot from another wonderful photographer and I cant wait to see what she comes up with. Thank you so much to Both Casey and Amber. I look forward to working with you further and seeing more of your beautiful work.

I am hoping for the rest of the week to go so well and keeping my spirits high and my thoughts positive. Summer is

right around the corner and I am really looking forward to spending some time with the kids and creating some really cute stuff. Even working up a flyer and putting it in some Boutiques around my city. A week ago I was going to give up, today I am not so sure.

I really LOVE this picture. I hope that you have a great week too and stop by my blog or Etsy Store any time.
