It’s been awhile…

Happy November!

I can’t believe we are almost halfway through it… I have been busy with ETSY orders, Halloween, Gracey’s birthday, and in a couple days Matt’s birthday. November is such a busy month for me but with good things. Here are some photos to catch you up on the past couple weeks of my crazy life….

This was our 1 Halloween decoration this year… haha it was a hit!

I made my sister a blue petticoat for her “Little Bo Peep” costume…

Gracey was a candy-filled Little Mermaid!

Now onto her birthday… Gracey turned 5 this year with a Snow White themed birthday. We had tacos, cake, and ice cream.

Gracey had lots of guests (family) for a special night!

Pumpkin Patch

We took Gracey to the Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. She had lots of fun playing on all the toys, roping a cow, bubbles, running through the corn maze, etc.

After the hay ride, Gracey found a little green pumpkin that she HAD to have.. I think it might have even been smashed. .

New Shine Jewelry!

I just finished making some jewelry for Shine Salon & Spa! Here are some of the pieces…

I also am bringing a piece I did back in February. I had purchased some beads in a little art town in Arizona and made the necklace there.

Pumpkin Handwarmers

I made these handwarmers today after finishing some orders. They are lightweight, orange, warm, and orange… did I say they are orange? I was having fun with the photoshoot that I tried to make the handwarmers look like a carrot, then I put a cute little model in the shoot..

I love my little bunny…

New packages!

I got some new boxes for my ETSY customers! Not only are my items made with love, they get sent with love! I also just got some really yummy soaps from HeathensHearth to send little gifts with my orders… They are really yummy! I chose the vanilla brown sugar goats milk soap. I really liked it. ETSY customers, let me know what you think.

I made some “seahawk” themed handwarmers yesterday.. I was watching the game and it dawned on me …. DUH!! Football games are cold!!! Why not make them colors of teams! So these are for my seahawk fans…. or if you like neon green and blue…

Main St Coffee House

My sister and I had another breakfast date today… I spotted this coffee place last week in Buckley and mentioned it to her. It is such a nice coffee shop! When you walk in, there is photography on the walls for sale, beautiful chairs by a fireplace, and it smells so fresh and clean. There are flavor bottles on the tables and some flowers on one.

I asked them how long they have been there and they said they opened about a week ago. I’m so excited there is another coffee shop I like that is close! They serve Cafe D’Arte coffee with Le sirop de MONIN.

I will for sure be coming back hope the business does well!

Intent Yoga center

I have been doing a lot more yoga lately at the Intent Yoga Center. My body needed it after all that sitting and recovering this summer. My body is also feeling it too! Today was the third day in a row and I am quite sore, but a GOOD sore. I have become so rejuvinated and actually able to get sleep now. I love the instructors and the how different they are. If you haven’t been in yet you should try it out… you’ll love it!

Leethal

I joined the Leethal Quick Knits Club this month! I will post the finished product soon. This is what I got in the mail the other day…. so exciting!

Beyond The Bridge Cafe

My sister has been telling me about this place in Sumner called Beyond the Bridge Cafe. It’s a little cafe where they sell coffee and bagels. Today we went there for breakfast and I fell in love!  It has books, art, and a piano. A gentleman came in and started playing while we were drinking our espresso.

We looked at their scrapbook of their grand opening and I was so inspired. I love the story of the place and how welcoming it is.

I can’t wait to go back! On fridays they have open mic at 7pm

Definately check this place out if you haven’t already… makes me miss my barista days. Someday I will have a little knit shop/cafe…
