focus

I love making things.. all sorts of thing.
I'm very crafty.
my friends & I started Created to sell some of our items.
I'm all over the place. if it looks easy & cute, I can make it!
because I love making cakes also I have a branch of Created named babe.E.cakes.

My friend Jenni told me that I need to pick a focus group. I need to know who I'm targeting & what I want to sell. but I like to do everything. everything!

but she's right.

I've decided to focus on "kid's accessories & mommy must-haves!"

I will offer things like:

this bag handle by make it and love it. Now that I've got 2 kids this is a "mommy must-have"

crayon rolls

tutus, hats, bows

quilts

& capes. definitely capes

I will also satisfy my "learn how to do everything" craving by making myself things & custom orders for the previously mentioned Jenni & you if you'd like. 

for babe.E.cakes I will focus on kid's parties. examples here & here. but again will also do custom orders for other events as well.

it's gonna be great! :)

Cool

"his name is Cool, & he's beautiful." - Douglas

happy family right?! well, afterward Mathew & I got into a huge snowball fight. mathew put snow down the back of my pants while I was bending over. then he knocked me down and dragged me on my back so that the snow would pile into my pants. I didn't do anything to deserve it! nothing I didn't throw snow balls in his face. I didn't knock his sun glasses down and lose them in the snow. I didn't knock him down & rub snow in his face. none of that ;)

igloo

I lived in Southern California until I was 14. SNOW?! in your front/back/side yard?!! what?! awesome!

So I've never built anything in the snow.

I made my first snow angel last week.

Today I remembered that for D's birthday, my friend Jenni gave him a snow/sand block mold!

So you know... we had to build an igloo

it was lot's of work. 

but tons of fun.

in the middle of building Katlyn was all, "this is making me pretty happy".

in the words of everyone on The Bachelor "it was AMAZING!"

We had a blast! D learned how to make & throw a pretty mean snowball, he made snow angels, fell a few times & ate so much snow he had to pee every 5 seconds. when we were done we were ready for a cup of hot chocolate. with marshmallows of course.

not as pretty as these but don't you just love the pic? {thanks martha!}
