What are you grateful for?


Cute Turkey Holiday Mini Basket, $4 FREE SHIPPING by CreativeQuiltsAndEtc

Today is Thanksgiving day in US and like all the Americans out there, I'm counting my blessings. Of course, life it's not easy or perfect, but I do have many things to be grateful for and I want to share with all of you!

1- I'm grateful with my heart that spills all over me for my son: many of you know that he's struggling with autism and we're struggling with him to find the right therapy that works best. Few weeks ago while I was thinking about decisions to make in his behalf, so out of the blue like only autistic people know how to do, he came up to me and said: "It's gonna be all right, mommy, you're my hero!"
I'm so grateful 'cause in the last year he made giant progress: last year we spent Thanksgiving night in a ER room 'cause Gabriel busted his front teeth for not being careful. This year he was telling me all about Turkey Day, helping me around the kitchen and play and talk....I'm grateful of how far he has come :)

2- I'm grateful that I found a true friend, Michele. I know, I name her often, but she's really dear to my heart. I'm grateful that she made it through a big health problem to coma back stronger, I'm grateful for every single word she writes me and just to be a part of her life.

3- I'm grateful for all my customers and friends that supported my in my business journey for the past year...I will be nobody without you all!

But now enough about me....what are you grateful for? I really want to know!

Origami Puppy Birthday Card, $4.25

Tell a loved one that you are thinking about them on their birthday with an adorable puppy birthday card! The card features a personally folded puppy and is embellished with a paper punch cupcake and rhinestone "cherry." The card is left blank for your personal message. This listing is for 1 card (see picture for colors and patterns).

Each card measures 4 by 5.5 inches (10 cm by 14 cm). I will include 1 white envelope and mail it out in a bubble cushioned mailer for extra protection.

Pretty neat,uh?

Sunday personal post


Seems like a very good period around here. I'm grateful, but it also scares me...I can be spoiled about so much happiness and serenity if all of sudden things start falling apart again. But Until it lasts, I'm gonna enjoy every little second of it.
So, let's start with some updates on my beloved son, Gabriel.
He scored good enough on his first report card that came in few days ago. Still some problem on his conduct, but I'm pretty confident that we can work on it and resolve them.
The doc accepted our choice to go meds-free and Gabriel improvements speak louder of any medication he has ever been on.
Yesterday, he had his last soccer game and he won a trophy (in the picture with my daughter and his coach). Since the soccer game is over, we're going to start him on baseball soon!

On the business site, there is a big news too: I opened a new shop on etsy that matches my store name: Crocheted Little Things. Wasn't an easy decision and I'm still scared about it but I hope it will work for the best. The new shop will carries all thing cupcakes, spa items and fake food items.

Featuring: Michelle Verbeeck


As promised, I'm about to reveal the other sweet trade that I worked out a week ago.
I was browsing Etsy searching for 2 cute little presents for 2 very special people in my family that are a little bit difficult to buy for and I found this lovely shop: Michelle Verbeeck. She had the perfect shop with just the perfect items and most important of all was kind enough to accept to trade with me! PERFECT!

Michelle Verbeeck's Etsy shop is dedicated to creating leather cuffs (even inspirational ones!), belts, shotgun shell designs and other accessories like wallets and that's where I found those lovely in the picture above!
I'm simply fascinated by leather items, I will love to have one of each from her shop!

I was very pleased with her workmanship and costumer service. The cuffs are awesomely perfect and I had the possibility to choose colors, size and stones to put on it. And now they are available also in child size!

So, if you're looking for Christmas presents, this is definitely one shop to check out!
Also visit her website with her cute blog, where she featured my cupcakes :)

Pink Rose Desire Cupcake Necklace, $15

This pretty little cupcake looks good enough to eat! I have added a mountain of luscious silicone whipped cream to a plastic vanilla cupcake. Then, I topped it off with pink acrylic rhinestone hearts, purple plastic gems, two clay pink roses and two plastic candy sticks. It will come on a 24" pink colored metal ball chain.

Note: The necklace is OOAK (one of a kind). Therefore, I only have one of this necklace. So, hurry and get this before it's gone!

Details:

~ The pendant measures approx: 1 3/4" tall x 1 1/2" diameter round.

~ Comes on a 24" pink colored metal ball chain necklace.

The necklace will come in a cute Hostess cupcake container, which you can use to also store your other little treasures in.
