Old Product, New Twist!

You've probably noticed these in the stores. As plaques they were getting the looks and all the comments about how cute they were, but no one was really buying them. When I went to the craft show in July, I didn't have but 1 made and I used that one for a display to hold the Ribbon Flowers.
When I did the second show, I had my display and then an extra one. I wanted to test them out at the shows first. And I knew when I sold the first one at the August Show. That they were at the right price and were the right item.
So, I've been transforming all my plaques into lovely bow holders.
Here's the newest one-Hope

Here's some of the old plaques that have been transformed!


With this transformation came an idea to add some mesh fabric to them and make them earring holders as well. I'm thinking of trying a demo and see how it does as well. So, Be on the look out for them.

Window Project

Me, Hubby, and the girls took a trip downtown this morning to visit The Lady Jane Shop. We picked up one of her Windows while we were there and I couldn't wait to start the project! It only took me about 2 hours to put the paper on it. I still have to spend another 2 hours sealing it. And I'm hoping this well get done this weekend sometime.

You can find The Lady Jane Shop in downtown Harrisonburg, VA!
Bet your wanting to see what the finished project looks like!
Here's a far away shot of the window!

And here's a close up of the panels! My camera didn't do some of the colors justice again.

I've decided to hang this lovely piece above my fire place and display it happily for all to see. I love to use my work in my home.

Melissa Atchley Photography

Melissa is a wonderful friend of our family. She also used to be Max's teacher at Matthew's Center. She asked if she could come in and take some photo's of the kids for her portfolio and because we needed some updated one's anyways we said Sure! You can find more of her photographs on her blog at http://melissaatchleyphotography.com/.
She specializes in not worrying about getting the kids to pose for the camera, but letting the kids play and taking photo's of them in action.
Here's some photo's of our photo shoot if you haven't seen them already.

This is of course is our youngest Haley. Her photo's are of course a lasting memory for us. And we thank Melissa for catching all of them on the go.

This is our middle child, Alexandria. The camera certainly likes her and vice versa!
And Last is our oldest Max. He is the hardest to get a photo of, because he is always on the go!

Inspirations By 2 Beautiful Babies!

Have you met my daughters Alexandria (Lexy for short) and Haley? My kids are truly my worst critics and yet they are my inspiration for most of my merchandise.
Haley Loves to wear all kinds of things in her hair!

Lexy, not so much. Matter of fact Lexy is at that point where she doesn't like to wear the cute dresses anymore. She would rather pick out her own clothes.

The reason I am introducing both my girls to you is because they are the inspirations behind the new ribbon flower hair clips and the new one's fixing to make their debut in the store. Lexy saw the big pink/blue one and she wanted me to put a clip on it right then, so she could wear it. Of course with 2 other kids needing mommy's attention, it didn't happen. Matter of fact these are not even finished yet. But, I am going to post them up anyhow. and then add the new photo's after they are finished later on


I have a week to get all these done for the August Show! Here's to hoping it will all be completed in time!
