Clearing out inventory

Well, I finally decided it was time to start clearing out my office. Naturally, I have containers and boxes full of yarn, old projects, half-finished projects/ideas in the works, and hats that I made but forgot about and were lost til yesterday. Yes, my office was that cluttered.

Yesterday I held an Auction to move some of the items out, giving them homes where they'll be used and loved! Yay! Anything not bid on will be going into a new section of my Etsy shop: Clearance section! Hopefully that will also help me keep my office de-cluttered. The pups, Lizzy and Elli both were quite helpful while I was taking photos of the Auction items. Elli helped me trip several times when I wasn't looking where I was going, teaching me to look before I move. Lizzy helped tip over the backdrop (foam board) and drive me crazy as always. Hahaha, I love my pups. I can't ever be angry with them, well not for long anyways. They're both very talented with the Puppy-Dog-Eyes.

I'm hoping to get my shop reopened by early February as of now. I'm still working on the remaining hats from the Big Hat Idea contest, which will then be put into the Final Vote to see which of those six win Best Hat. Some have been very challenging, like Batman. Others, like the Cupcake were still a little challenging but easy to go 'over the top'. More details to come Saturday.






As some know, February will be my Etsy shop SECOND Anniversary! Ahh! I can't believe it! I plan on having a good sale for it as well as my Loyal FB Fans who have stuck with me from the beginning. Thanks you guys!

Overdue Update!

I must admit, I was surprised to find I hadn't updated my blog in over a year. I suppose both the 2010 and 2011 Christmas Seasons had me pretty busy, PLUS the fact my hubby and I bought our first place this last summer. Well, I'm back and I hope to be more consistent in my blogging.

I've been very blessed to have several Photographers purchase my designs and send my BEAUTIFUL photos of the designs modeled on oh-so-cute-and-kissable babies! I feel it would be a nice start to the 2012 year to showcase their work!
