Coordinating Lounge Pants for Sisters

These sweet coordinating lounge pants were created for the owner of Molly Caroline Designs. They turned out so adorable and she was even sweet enough to send me the most precious pictures of her girls wearing the lounge pants with personalized shirts she had created.

Etsy Favorites- Sweet Savannah Baby

I absolutely love hats so I was extremely happy when I discovered Sweet Savannah Baby. I have purchased two hats (a red one and a pink one) from this shop so far and they are both amazing. And the best part is my child actually likes to wear them.

Livi Stitches First Craft Show- Rain, Rain, Rain!!!

Livi Stitches had our first craft show this weekend. There is a large festival a few towns away from where I live called Mule Day. This is a huge festival with tons of events and usually has an attendence of 25,000 plus. I attend every year and since I started Livi Stitches a few years ago I have been wanting to participate and decided that this year would be the year. I would like to tell you that it went great but it poured down rain the entire time and very few people showed up. We got up at 4:00 A.M. that morning got ready and headed out. We arrived at around 5:45 and we were able to set up super fast. I had everything all set up by 7:00 a.m. and we were relaxing eating breakfast and chatting when the rain started and never went away. A few people came out and fought the rain but for the most part it was dead. I wasn't too upset about not selling the small inventory of items I had made for the sale but that I wasn't able to give out alot of busines cards. My big goal for participating in this event was to be able to advertise my website and let people know I am out there so I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to do as much networking. However the day wasn't a total loss I got the experience of setting up, I got to see what the whole craft show sceen is like, I got to meet lots of nice people, and the best part was getting to spend some extra time with my husband Kyler, my MIL, my friend Ally at Southern Scrapbooking, and her mom. So even though it didn't go well I am proud of myself for trying and having the courage to go out there.

I would also like to give a huge thank you to my husband for all his hard work in helping me get everything ready, making the clothing rack and for going with me saturday and showing me so much support. Thank you to my mother in law Jana for getting up at 4:00 a.m. on a saturday and going out and helping us. My Parents for taking care of Olivia for me Friday night and saturday and for being so great to bring her home and even bringing us dinner. And Thank You to my friend Ally for agreeing to do this show with me and for giving me motivation and inspiration the last few weeks. Livi Stitches Tent

A successful photography session!!!

A few weekends ago I decided to try and do a little mini photo session. I had quite a few outfits that I needed to get some product photos of and my favorite little model and in a great mood so we packed up a bag of clothes, accessories, and my camera and headed out the door. My husbands grandfather has a farm and I knew it would be a perfect location. Luckily everything was on my side that day and I got some great shots.
