What a beading mess!

Well, I finally got all my supplies in for my new beading project that I was talking about. I was able to complete 4 of my new beaded objects while the kiddos are napping and I absolutely LOVE them!! I can't wait for my Aunt Robin to see them. They are so cute I can't hardly stand it!! If you look closely, you'll see a few of them in the mess! I'll hopefully post some pics of my new objects tomorrow---so check back ; - )

Now, it's off to another ball game!!

New Knitty Bitty Pics!

Well, the first batch of pics have arrived from Dawn Simmons---the photographer who I sent the hats to (click the link to see her blog). These are my favorites! Can't wait to see more---and add them to my listings ; - )

This is a great pic of the hat and onesie together!

I just love her expression! I wonder what she was thinking.

Love this one too!

And the winner is.....

Well, I have found the winner of my spring bracelet giveaway. Congratulations to Aggieray! Aggieray is a very talented Etsy artist making quilted bags and wallets. You can see her work here.



The bracelet she chose to receive is the Knitty Bitty Birthstone Bracelet---with a March Birthstone. She said it is going to be a communion gift for her niece. I hope she like it! You can find the birthstone bracelets in my Etsy shop---just click here.



I'm planning another fun give-away for this summer---so keep checking back!!

Here is the winning bracelet!

P.S. Some of you may have noticed my contest ended a few days early---sorry! Big goof on my part. I looked at the calender wrong and thought is was already May---but it really didn't matter b/c she was already the winning number ; - )

Take me out to the ball game!

We had a very busy Saturday---two baseball games. With my father-in-law being a high school baseball coach, we go to all the games. The kids LOVE it. Here is my son rattling the fence yelling "gampa" trying to get his attention.

After the game, they go onto the field to run sprints with the players.

Then, it's down to the dug out to play some more.

Best Buddies!

New Bead Project?

Tomorrow I'm going to take my friend out for lunch for her Birthday and I'm so excited to give her her gift. I wanted to give her something really special, and I know she is going to love it---I'd LOVE to have it myself. It's a fancy face clutch named, Maizey. It's from a VERY talented Etsy artist named Lori Marie and she sells lots of "pretty little things". I just love all the colors and details. You can visit her shop here. I may even put a little surprise inside!

I went to the craft store today for some new beads. I'm going to start a new project with beads, and no, it's not a necklace or bracelet or anything that you can wear. I found one while brousing the internet over the weekend, and I fell in love with them!! They are going to be perfect for gifts. I'm just waiting for the main part of my project to arrive in the mail. Maybe tomorrow---then I can start creating!!




I've spent most of my free time today (kids nap time) working on my Ebay listings. They are soooo time consuming. That's why I like Etsy so much---it's much cheaper and quicker. But, I do sell a lot on Ebay, so I stick with it. Here's one of my listings today---with many many more items waiting to get listed!!!

Two bitty bugs sitting on my deck

Aren't these cute? Last week I had a customer order the pink/purple bitty bug hat for her daughter then a few days later order the green/pink one for her friend. Those are going to be the cutest little girls on the playground. I bet they fight over whose hat is cuter! Would you like one too? Well, you can find them in my Etsy shop!

What a busy week!

What a busy week at knitty bitty apparel!! I've had 11 hat orders, three mitten orders, and two bracelet orders. That is a lot for me to keep up with---lucky for me people seem to be very patient---especially when they know things are being hand made just for them!





Tomorrow some friends of ours is having their little girl baptised, so I wanted to make something really special for her. I came up with this bracelet, and I'm just thrilled with it. I think it turned out beautiful!! I just ran to Hobby Lobby this a.m. with the intentions of just getting the silver cross and when I saw the little silver flowers---with the teeny tiny little rhinestones in the middle, I know they would be perfect. I think I'll list one in my Etsy store too.










And, I've been wanting to get this little ladybug bracelet created for quite some time now, so I made it this a.m. in the wee hours of the morning---before the kids got up. I'll tell you, I could get a lot more done if I'd just get up before the kids do ; - )















I also just heard back from the photographer today who I sent the hats to and she sounded thrilled with them---can't wait to see some pics. She even said she'd make a new blogger banner for me with a little newborn wearing one of my hats. Can't wait!!!
