Picture of a Custom Order

I love to see what my customer have done with my basket once I send them out. Caitin is going to have a baby in June and order three triangle shaped basket for a corner unit. She asked that they be plain no color or stain. Her and her mom where going to cover them with fabric and make curtains for the babies room. So my basket made the trip across the country safe and they worked their magic on them. Love the colors and the fabric they have picked out. The plain corner basket are no longer plain, just beautiful and waiting for the baby to come. They will hold all the wonderful goodies you need for a baby, and then they will hold toys and items while the baby grows up.

The family cat is giving them a good look over and making sure they past inspection!

Thank you so much Caitin for sharing pictures with me!

One very blessed week

This last week has been very blessed week for my family and I. First I won a challenge On Fire For Handmade Challenge. I won some free advertising and a new banner for my shop. Anne from Made for me by Oaklie sent me four banners to pick from, and it was so hard just to pick one. Then my kids came home from Afghanistan for a few days, this was part of their two week R & R. Then my other son came in from school, so from total quite the noise level was turned up. It was fun, family and friends. Wonderful to see them, get lots of hugs, see their friends from school and watch the next generation grow up. I'm very proud of my kids and their friends are also doing so well. It is a blessing just to see how well they have grown up and becoming wonderful young men and women., it gives one great hope for our country. Then sadly they all leave. Like a giant vacuum the noise level is gone!!!!! But the birds returned and are sing again. It is hard to sing over trucks, cars and motorcycles! Then I remember I won this wonderful banner and forgot to get back to Anne. This wonderful lady said she would be dancing in 7th Heaven if it where her kids. So I have my new banner up in my Etsy shop and I love it. Each week their is a new theme and they are a lot of fun to be part of. Please take a minute to visit with Anne and her wonderful shop on Etsy. Not only does she make banners, she loves to knit and to crochet scarfs, jewelry and bags.
