Good morning, I have been so busy...finishing Little Ella's hand crocheted mermaid cocoon/body/tail, seashell bikini top & starfish headband...Ella's Mommy and I created this especially for her...the image in her mind transformed into the beautiful finished product...I will post images of her wearing it as she will get her 3 month photograph's in a shoot with Jess...Reflections by Jess Photography on 6/2....I have been working with David he is building a deck...note....I am NOT a construction worker....lol...also filling orders for a hand crocheted faceless angel breast cancer awareness ornament, an ecru/tan baby bear beanie/cap/hat & diaper cover and a mouse beanie/cap/hat, diaper cover and booties....phew....I will upload some pictures later...gotta go play "construction worker". To date I believe the mouse set has outnumbered the granny/ripple afghan in sales ; )....Have a great day & God bless, Jamie....As always, any comments/questions/suggestions are greatly appreciated.....

Good morning....yesterday was a milestone of sorts for us and our shop...we reached 100 "likes" on craigslist....We are so excited, we are going to have a give away from our creations. We want to do this everytime we reach another 100...
We also have some of our creations in a Red Heart Wednesday Night Challenge contest...our multi blue/black granny/ripple afghan is doing extremely well with over 450 votes...the last day to vote is May 30...And, come on people if we can get 450 votes why can't we get 450 "likes" ????? I would love to see our "likes" reach 500 by our anniversary date October....
We have had so much fun, made friends, got new ideas and of course the money isn't bad either....I just sent out 31 sock monkey hats to a photographer Stacy that we work with...she referred us to a friend, so, in turn she got a camo earflap hat that she had ordered.
I am currently working on little Ella's mermaid costume/photography prop...the original mermaid was created for her but, we didn't think the tail was quite long enough...so the one we created for her has been made again and we have 2 satisfied customers and alot of people asking for the pattern ; )
I will post pics of the sock monkeys at a later date (I was so rushed to get them shipped upon completion I didn't take one pic) they range from ages 3-6 months to 7 year old....The owner of the day care decided to give one to every one of her charges....I believe it's like an end of year/graduation type thing.
I will keep you updated on the give away...and we would like to run a contest as well maybe whoever gets the most "likes" for our page by telling your friends.
As always, any comments, questions and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated....
Thank you and God bless, Jamie
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND PRAY THANK GOD FOR OUR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND THE SACRIFICES THEY HAVE MADE SO THAT WE HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CREATE BLOGS, ETC.....THANK GOD FOR ALL THE LITTLE THINGS....HAVE A GREAT DAY

Hi I don't have anything new to post, really....except that Stacy referred me to a friend that wants to purchase 31 hand crocheted sock monkey hats & a customer purchased my original hand crocheted mermaid cocoon/body, shell bikini top & starfish headband off ebay and then sent us the following.......Two needles and a hook,
I had to write to say I absolutely LOVE the mermaid costume!!! Our daughter is due Sept 6th and she will have her first pictures with this costume included in the collection. I will gladly forward a picture for you to use for future sales. We are in love with this costume, and I will continue to follow your site.

Hand crocheted king size bedspread in blues and black

I promised pictures of the multi blue/black hand crocheted king size granny/ripple bedspread however, I had forgotten to take the pictures. As luck would have it we have great customers and she sent the following pictures to me....Also, yesterday I mentioned that I was making delivery of an order for a photographer, she delayed again and it's been like 3 weeks so I was a little discouraged...got a phone call from another photographer that saw the picture I posted of the pastel hand crocheted pixie/elf hat and she is going to buy it!!!!! Things are great with my new job and the "garden" has a new addition some red chilli peppers...and David bought me some very colorful coleus...I will try to remember to take pictures tomorrow. Have a great night & God bless, Jamie....as always any comments, questions and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
