for tiny little feet...

I am excited to be selling these little booties. Some cute footwear for your little darlings. 


I'm just getting started, so check out my etsy shop (link in the sidebar----->) and tell me what you think.  I currently have the brown with pink buttons and the black for sale. I love the black ones. Who doesn't need some Sunday shoes for their newborn? Who? Tell me. How about some white ones with the pearl button detail for a blessing? Anyway, let me know what you think. 
And. I'm still working on a name for this whole thing. Any suggestions? Anyone? Anyone?
P.S. Go check out my cousin Danielle's blog (aka Danielle+Danny ---->). She has a link to her etsy shop where she sells her super cute baby headbands and clips. Love them!

11 things on 1.11.11

11 Things I Did Today
1. Had Special K (fruit & yogurt variety) for breakfast. Mmm.
2. Crocheted some baby booties that I am preparing to sell. Oh yeah. Be excited.
3. Worked on etsy shop for said baby booties.
4. Got nervous about opening an etsy shop like all of a sudden my life would change and I would have no time for being a mother OR that people would reject my crocheted creations and drive by and throw rotten vegetables at my house.
5. Told myself to get a grip.
6. Sang with Easton in the car.
7. Met Randon to apply for more life insurance. Wow. That was a party.
8. Stopped to say hi to Grandma.
9. Went to Relief Society activity where I supposed to take pictures of the event and my camera battery died halfway through. Camera phone pictures will have to do.
10. Read Easton not 2, but 3 stories before bed "because he is 3".
11. Blogged. Yay.

a new year.

Oh goodness. It is now the middle of January. The holidays have come and gone. And they were wonderful. We had lots of fun. Here we have E on Christmas Eve in his new jammies...
 We had such a good time with family and doing all of the fun things that go along with Christmas. We got a new camcorder for Christmas so all of our focus on Christmas morning went to video. Now I am kinda sad that we don't have more pictures. Oh well. It was a great day and Easton had a blast and got everything he asked for.

And we are on to a new year. The beginning of the year brought a big change for E, he is now a Sunbeam! I can't believe it. It really does not feel like that long ago that I was writing the post about his first day in nursery. He is growing up. He is doing awesome as a Sunbeam, though it didn't start out that way. When they started bringing them in from nursery for singing time, he was not a happy camper. I am the primary chorister and he would see me up there and not know what was going on. His first time, he stood up, balled up his fists and let out an Incredible Hulk like yell/roar. I didn't even know what to do. He had never had issues with anger like that. I think he was just in unfamiliar territory and didn't know what was going on and he wasn't liking the idea  that he couldn't sit with me. At home I gave him a little pep talk and said we would have a secret code...I would wink at him from my seat and he would wink back. He agreed. Turns out he changed his mind. I winked at him the next week and he stood up and firmly stated, "Nope. Nope. I'm not going to. I'm not. No." And then proceeded to have another hulk anger moment. But after that he did better and better. And last week, I happened to glance over at him, and  he winked at me. Melted my heart a little. Now he is a little Sunbeam pro!
Last week he was even the spotlight! It was so fun to hear the answers he told his teachers:
Favorite food: Tuna sandwiches
Favorite color: red and blue
What he wants to be when he grows up: like his Daddy
If he could go anywhere: In daddy's car where he could spin the steering wheel
If he could have a superpower: run really fast
I'll have to check the paper to see if I forgot any. He is so dang funny. I love him.
Here is to a great 2011!!
