Wow~

So I started off thinking that I was going to open my Etsy shop and get a couple orders and that would be it, but I am please to announce that I have been doing a pretty brisk business. The owl hat is a big hit. I just made an adorable bunny hat for easter which you can find on my facebook page or in my shop but here is a picture of one I made for Dylan, she is a perfect sleeping model~

My 50 fan give away went great and I ended up with almost 70 fans! Yay! I am so happy! I am working on some super cute new designs for spring and I will have them in my shop shortly. I am having a lot of fun making these hats and seeing everyones little cuties wearing them.

Anyways, a big thank you to all my friends and fans, hopefully I can get a few more people to start viewing this blog so I can do a BIG giveaway. There is one in the works, and it will be GREAT, so tell your friends to follow me here. I also have some great product reviews coming up, I just have to have time to sit down and write them out :o)

Well this will have to be all for now, I am trying to get dinner done, and the baby is screaming. Ahhh such a blissfull life ;o)

I am going for it!

Ok so for a long time now I have wanted to start blogging about deals and steals and all things baby related and have never done it. I have also wanted to open a shop to sell my hats and now that I have done that I am ready to move on to the blogging! I am going to see if I can get a few followers on here, my friends from Facebook, family, and my ladies from BBC Nov. board. I want to create a blog where I can share the good deals I find, and learn about good deals others have found. I want to get my business going, and I want to create my own enviroment of support so to speak. Anyways, I am all over this in the next few days, hopefully we will get a few followers on here and I can do a giveaway!

Holy Wow!

WOW! Is all I can say! I finally did it! I launched my own Etsy shop and started to sell some of my hats. I am actually doing pretty well! With a bit of help from my friends on BBC I have 10 hats to make in the next week! OMG how am I ever going to get them done?! Its nice though to have something to do! I also started a Facebook page for my stuff and I am really hoping to get a bunch of business from there, or at least get my name out there! I have a bunch of stuff I would love to do, like give aways, Hats of the Week, a collaberation with my great friend Christina of GiaCocco Designs of her gorgeous hand made flowers! Soo much, so lets hope this venture works out for me!

The other WOW factor of this week is an old friend contacted me out of the blue...TISH! I was actually totaly happy to hear from her and we had a nice chat! We have talked every day since then and she is actually coming over here tomorrow to stay for a few days while her mom is in Seattle. I am pretty excited! I have really missed her as a friend and I am glad she didnt hold it against me when I was not being such a great friend. I guess we all have our reasons and make mistakes, what else is forgiveness for?

Anyways, I cant stay long, I need to get hot on these hats while the girls are sleeping! Check out my stuff at www.etsy.com/shop/kristadenae and visit me on FB at La La Larue Yarn Designs!

Snow!

So the last couple of days we have been getting slammed with winter storm warnings, and of course since its been fairly nice here we figured the weather man was overeacting again. However, we were wrong! It started snowing here around 7 and so far, it hasn't stopped. We have 4 inches and its still coming down! Thank god I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, there is going to be waaayy to many wrecks because people here don't know how to drive. Anyways, not my idea of a great day but I get to stay inside :o)

An Answered Prayer

So tonight I am laying here in bed thinking about the day, and what my day will be like tomorrow and I decided to write a bit while I am still awake. I was so excited yesterday I somehow forgot to do it then...I guess somewhere between yelling at Riley and her little friend to be quiet and go to sleep at 3am, and trying to get the fussy baby to sleep(which never happened) it slipped my mind, but I am thinking about it now so here it is.................................................

ANDY GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!

I am beyond thrilled! He will be working for Aerotech, which is a company that is government contracted to work on the subs and ships. Right now it is a temporary position for 8 to 9 months with the option to reapply for any available position after that. Pay will start at $17 an hour and go up to $25 after three months. Thats about all we know for now but thats excellent news for us. I have been praying my rear end off and I guess this means someone was listening. I will update when I know more.

In other news I have two sick kiddos :o( Riley woke up with a cold and of course Dylan has it too. Both of them were rotten and grouchy all day. I am exhausted from no sleep last night, I have no idea how I am even still awake.....I do need to try and sleep, my house is a wreck and needs to be cleaned, plus tomorrow night I am sure I wont get any sleep. I have to take Dylan in first thing Monday for an ultrasound on her stomach. For the last month she has been puking up tons after she eats and nothing was working that I could do so I took her in to the dr who gave me meds for Reflux. The meds seemed to work for the first couple of days and then stopped. I took her back in and we scheduled the u/s and got her on stronger meds for the Reflux. So far these meds seem to be working but the dr. wants to rule out something called Pyloric Stenosis. I guess this is something that is very rare in girls so I am praying she doesnt have it. If you want an explanation on what PS is Google it, I am way to tired to explain, its nothing that serious though so dont worry.

Anyways, I am pretty tired and so I am going to sign off for now. I will update more as I find out more. Good night!

Good News?

So its after 3 in the morning and I am sitting here, well, laying here in bed listening to Riley snore(she is sick) and the baby breathe. Andy slept dow stairs because with Riley in the bed there isnt much room and he cant sleep. He felt bad for her since she was in her bed crying because she didnt feel well so he tucked her into his spot and went downstairs. What a great guy huh? So to the point of this late night blog.....I cant sleep, and not just because the kid is snoring but because I am soooo hopeful that a place called Aerotech calls Andy back tomorrow and gives him the job he interviewed for today! Its a government contracted job working on the subs doing various things so its perfect for him. I guess they pretty much told him the job was his if he still has his clearances to get on the base. The good is more pay, less hours, and benefits. The bad is the job is only contracted for 9 months, when its done he will have to re apply for another job with the company, and he will have to do this every 9 months. He is super excited about it and is just as anxious as I am to hear back. Lets all pray for good news! We need some good news right now.
