I can’t believe it. Valentine’s Day is over a month away and for the first time in my life – I’m ready for a holiday. Ready as in “business ready” that is. I have products made and ready to ship! I’m usually scrambling at the last minute to get things done. Pretty darn amazing, I know.

I have a slew of new hair clips all set for your gal’s Valentine’s Day outfits. Actually, these can be worn year round – it’s great to be a girl! They are fun for grownups to wear as well, so let loose and have some fun with your accessories.

I found these painted hearts a while back and had to get them. They have a cool retro look to them and remind me of all the outfits and accessories I had as girl. Here are a few of them (I have lots more listed on my website):

Crewel fabric is just plain GORGEOUS! It’s all hand embroidered with this lovely thick hand dyed wool. I have several different colors and patterns that I will be making handbags out of. I’m trying to keep my goal of a bag a day (give or take…). Here is tonight’s finished bag:

Dear Friends,

2007 has been absolutely amazing for my family, business, and me. God has blessed us with an abundance of laughter, love, friends, many tears of joy and a few tears of sadness, lots of spiritual and emotional growth, and oodles of miracles – both big and small.

Count your blessings and you’d be surprised how many more will come to you in 2008. We can easily get caught up fighting and fretting over what’s going “wrong” in our lives (or other people’s lives…) that sometimes we forget all the wonderful things that are “right” all around and within us. It’s incredible how by just changing your mindset, you can change your entire life.

This year I will be designing a collection of one of a kind handbags. I was blessed enough to acquire a TON of beautiful designer fabric samples a while back. Now I’m putting an end to my procrastinating and putting these gorgeous fabrics to good use! I have a few listed in my store right now and will be doing my very best to make at least 5 purses a week (give or take a few ^_~) until all my lovely fabric is used up… ambitious but hopefully worthwhile. Here are a couple new purses I just listed in my eBay store:
