Randomness Saturday: Personal post

It's been a while since I've done a personal post from my "Randomness Saturday" series and I thought to bring it back, what do you all think?
Let's see what I can come up with this time....

♥ Gabriel started a new school 2 months ago: even tho I loath the whole situation around his school placement, I'm happy to report that his doing quite well, better that we ever expected. The teacher is very good and he's working very hard....spring forward to June to see if we can win the battle with the school district and have him in the school I want!

♥ Michelle is doing quite well too: her last meeting with the school teacher went very well and she's almost ready to start first grade (yes, she's in the school I want!). She's going to have a recital as a flower and we worked on her dress today: I will make sure to post pictures.

♥ I was a busy lady since Holiday season: literally didn't stop crocheting one day! Thank you all for the support and the patience while I got around your orders.

♥ I no longer have a part time job outside the house: my client passed away before Valentine's day and the agency hasn't been able to find me another person to watch in my available hours. So, here I'm, a stay-at-home-crafter-mom again and I don't mind it!

♥ I'm trying to get my products into local boutique for wholesale or consignment. Easier said that done, but I'm trying. Was already able to have a table to a local event the past weekend where I sold a cupcake pillow.

♥ I found a very awesome site to improve my picture quality: fotofuze. Seriously, you gotta try it! I'm slowly fixing all my pictures.....see a difference already?

♥ Don't forget to show my friend Kim some love and enter her giveaway!

The lemonade stand.

Crocheted lemon slice and half slice Christmas ornaments, $5

It's summer. It's hot. But I've already started working on new Christmas ornaments.
But why don't get the best of both worlds and make refreshing looking ones? And that's how the citrus idea came about.

Crocheted Orange slice ornament, $5

It was in my head for a while when I made the orange Christmas ornaments. Now I'm just taking the idea further with lemons and soon I will have limes and grapefruits.

I wasn't very sure they were a COOL idea (pun intended), but few hours after listing my lemons, I found them here.

Handmade with designer fabric accents, this little sweetie has two layers of luxurious thick fleece and a double-layer of interfacing for stability, wristlets measure approx. 8.5" x 5.5" (21.59 cm x 13.97 cm).

The coordinating strap can be made with your choice of a Sweet Irie key fob or 3/4 thin strap, both made with webbing (for support) and the same designer fabric as the wristlet. Strap is big enough to slip on and off your wrist easily at approx. 10.5" (26.67 cm) and includes a split-ring keychain. (See last picture for an example of each strap.)

Featuring: evermoresoap

Hey there party people!!! Tonight I'm talking about another amazing soapist that I had the honor to met on twitter: Tiffaney, the owner of evermoresoap

Soap - RUBBER DUCKY, $7

That's what Tiffaney had to say about her business:

I started my beloved business, Evermore Soap Factory, in 2004 to promote the idea of
natural living and to sell products that went along with that ideal. As a student of
natural medicine I can provide myself and my customers with a healthy and satisfying
bathing experience.

Everything is made fresh-to-order, and you will not find any SLS or parabens here! There are enough chemical-ridden bath&body products out there, so why add to it? We use top quality ingredients to ensure a great product. Nothin' but sunshine, goodtimes and smiles!

Soap - RAINWATER Made with Essential Oils and LOVE, $5

I sell a full line of herbal soaps in all your favorite scents, as well as a plethora of natural bath products. Everything is handmade with love to encourage physical and mental well being.

In addition to my spa line, I also offer a wide variety of handmade items. I specialize in decoupage wooden boxes and other paper crafts. I take inspiration for my designs from simple things, like the beauty in everyday objects, and more exotic areas like vintage papers and fabrics. Most of my inspiration however comes from Mother Nature herself. As with my spa line, I strive to design artwork that creates an awareness and appreciation for the beauty and wonder of nature.

The Most Amazing BODY BUTTER Ever Available in MANY SCENTS, $13.50

Fantastic, doesn't it? So, let's how our support and let's check her shop out, you won't be sorry!!!
