Easter is just around the corner…

I’m actually not one to get super excited about holidays because it usually means I’m hosting something or going to a ton of family functions. Most holidays are linked with gifts and I am one to hand make EVERY SINGLE GIFT. Might I add… I have 3 families… 3 sisters, and two brothers. I love them all dearly but one can feel a bit overwhelmed or a bit stressed.

But for some reason… I a SUPER excited for Easter. After the long and busy winter, my move into my new home in the woods, and the recent season change, I feel so inspired. I feel a new energy coming over me and I’m literally exploding inside with positivity. <3

I love spring. It’s the kind of new beginning you are excited for even though you don’t know what the beginning will be. I love the flowers, all the baby animals, everyone seeming to feel a little more in love or new couples meeting. Can you tell I am excited? Oh yeah… and more SUN!

What is your favorite season and/or holiday and why? I would have to say my favorite season is a tie between spring and fall. I don’t really have favorite holiday… maybe Halloween. This year though? Easter… Definitely Easter.

New Headbands!

versatileliving — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 01:10:28 +0000

I have been busy at work this week trying to make all my ideas a reality. Here are some new headbands I made the other day. You can find them in my Etsy shop…

also… I have been working some Flower hair clips (that I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do with). I will be doing a street fair and possibly a bazaar this May and June. You will find these there… I originally made some for myself but I have made over 50 so far. I’m not so sure I need that many. <3

I’m ready to start the new year with some new ideas and inspiration. What do you love lately? What are your goals?

What a winter….

versatileliving — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 21:01:07 +0000

Whew! December is almost over… and to be honest, I think I’m glad. I really overdid it this year. I took on way too much to see if I could really do it but I guess it’s not always like the movies and sometimes one can only do so much. :/ I got a lot of wholesale orders through Etsy which was so amazing but the downfall of it was that it made ALL other orders this winter late. I had some angry customers and some nice ones (thank you!) Overall, it was a learning experience. By taking on a bunch of orders, I ended having to give refunds, rush shipping, etc, etc, etc, rather than make extra money. Oh well… you win some, you lose some.. I had some medical emergencies that pushed back everything even more. All the while, I still hosted THREE different Christmas celebrations at my house and still tried to maintain a normal life. Many sleepless nights (up doing orders) and now I’m down to the last of my orders and still trying to play catch-up with my not so happy emails.

I still have dial-up internet (I live in the middle of nowhere) so I am rarely online. If you get an email from me it is because I sent it with my phone while looking like a contortionist looking for service.

I plan to do MANY MANY more blog posts in the new year and to only post ‘ready-made’ items in my Etsy shop because I learned the hard way that you never what the future holds and yes folks, there is such thing as putting too much on your plate.

I wish the happiest New Year to everyone and thank you to all my customers that were so patient and understanding.

Much <3

Winter Wonderland

versatileliving — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 20:55:19 +0000

Gracey has been enjoying her time off from school to play in the snow. I have been slaving away at my endless orders and keeping the fire stoked. I love winter and everything it brings. I love the bright white snow everywhere, bundling up in a million layers, sitting by the fire with some coffee, and being surrounded in yarn and packages to put the finished project in.

Yesterday, I made Gracey hot cocoa with homemade whipped cream, marsh “smoosh” mallows, sprinkles, and a candy cane.

I will try to post more soon but I am still without internet. I didn’t think I could go this long without it. It hasn’t been easy but I should be getting my part soon and I will have tons of blog posts to share…

Noses

A few weeks ago Gracey and I went to Thomasson Family Farm to get some pumpkins. I photographed the animals but the nose shots were my favorite.

Children’s Hood in Camel Brown

versatileliving — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 20:53:18 +0000

The other day I made this cute little hood. It is SUPER soft. My friend Lindsey was nice enough to take some photos of her daughter modeling the hood and here are some of the photos!

you can find the hood here in my shop and visit Lindsey’s vintage shop as well!!
