I was inspired to make these because of my oldest who just went to Kindergarten this year! I wanted something representative of her age group in my shop, since I try to involve all of my kids in my business! They are my harshest critiques, when it comes to picking material, and finalizing products!!!! :) Oh how I love their opinions!!!<br />
<br />
So I hit the ground running on making these silk flowers, and I have to admit, they have become a favorite for me! They are all so unique and beautiful....and the color combinations are ENDLESS!!!! Here are a few photos of my work:<br />

I have "fallen" off of the blogging bandwagon and every other bandwagon, for the matter! I have been trying to get myself up and running again, after nearly 15 weeks of morning sickness and then making it through the hustle and bustle of school, transitions, and birthday extravaganzas! Fall is the busiest time of year for us as far as birthdays and holidays, but we are on track for a relatively relaxed season! Birthday presents wrapped and ready to go! Party preparations are underway, and Christmas gifts for the kids are all all wrapped! I know....maybe I can blame it on nesting! Great excuse! <br />

I am just doing it every so often now, but thrilled to be hitting a fabric sale this week to stock up on some cute patterns for the fall and winter to make into blankets, travel minkys, and burp clothes. I will get some cute blankets done, and hopefully sold! I consider my sales to be a contribution for this year's Christmas gifts. So far, I am off to a good fall, having 4 sales just last week. Lots of new styles just listed, plus I have started a new line of burp clothes and gift sets (travel minky blanket with a matching burp cloth!)<br />

Besides that I have to pass along a great new cheesecake recipe my brother first introduced to me and I have been in love with it ever since! I have been craving KEY LIME (which I can't even remember the last time I wanted Key Lime! :)! Here is the best frozen cheesecake you will ever have!! Put some raspberries on top and have the most stunning and scrumptious dessert for your holiday dinner!<br />

<br />
1. People want the look of handmade invitations vs. the processed ones hanging in the stores that EVERYONE buys!<br />
2. People don't like the hassles of customizing with a company, which includes increased prices for customization, time to edit proofs, and then waiting for the turn-around time!<br />
3. People want something unique...or should I say "YOUnique!!!" :)<br />
<br />

pre-made, handmade" invitations!!!!! So, what I have done is created the invitation, and the wording is all printed out. The specifics of your event is all that needs to be filled in. I do, however, offer "customizing" color choices on some of the invites! This, to me, accomplishes all of the revolutions I mentioned earlier! Here are some samples of some of my new invites!!!<br />

I did more than survive, I actually sold a few things, despite the slow traffic. So here's a few highlights and lowlights of my day!<br />
<br />
HIGHLIGHTS:<br />
Great spot: I was the first table when you walked in!<br />
Sold a few things<br />
Met a fellow Etsian<br />
<br />
LOWLIGHTS:<br />
Low traffic of people and lower sales<br />
Quick show...only 4 hours<br />
<br />
I really don't have any complaints, because I had never done a craft show before. My expectations were to sell a few things and get my name out there. I handed out business card magnets and got my name exposed. Hopefully some more sales will come from this! I actually just felt great that I had an identity besides "MOMMY!" It was good to be able to see my hobby come to life and bless other people! Very rarely do people just send cards in the mail. There is no need to since we have texting, Facebook, email, and IM. I want to change all that, and bring the importance of a handwritten note back in style! When I grow old, I want to look back and have written memories of people, places, and events! That's the power of writing!<br />
<br />
I have MANY new styles in stock. Some are listed on Etsy, but not on my site yet (hopefully by next week, when I recuperate!). Here are a few ways to take a sneak peek, if you would like! Over and out!!! A full day's work!<br />

I am really excited to expose my crafts to more people and meet other crafters!!! This Saturday will be my first craft show at Sycamore Trails Elementary School in Bartlett, IL! I have been SO busy building my inventory, and have practically lived in our basement at every chance I can get trying to get things done! I love every minute of it though. It gives me a sense of purpose and gets my mind off of all the diapers I changed, mouths I fed, tears I wiped and spills I cleaned up that day! :) Here's a sneak peak at some of my inventory...These aren't even all listed on Etsy yet or my website...so it's really fresh!!!<br />

I knew I wasn't going to be the person who wrote every day, had cute themes for each day...you get the picture. No, I have diapers to change and mouths to feed, play dates with my kids, and shuttle runs to preschool that take up my blogging time. But at any rate, I have been busy crafting some new note card sets and gift tags. Here are some of my latest creations to build my inventory for an upcoming craft fair...<br />

That is a huge venture with 3 little ones at home, but it's a wonder what motivation, nap times, and a little boost of adrenaline at night will do for you! I have kept up with my goal so far and have posted some great blankets, hoping someone can find use for them!<br />

<br />
Anyhow, sewing is a special time for me. I am able to borrow my Grandmother's sewing machine, which is quite old at this point, but so vibrant with memories for me. My Grandmother was a wonderful seamstress, and I am so blessed to be able to sit at the bench and sew away! (It must run in the family, because my mom is a great seamstress as well!) So, as I make each blanket I think of the wonderful homes they are going to and hoping that they even create half as many memories for each person as I have while I sew them! There is a story behind every good thing! I hope to pass on the beginnings of those stories!!! Here are some pics of my new creations!!!<br />

If you haven't seen it, go rent it and sit down with your loved ones and see it. You won't regret it at all! I love the message of commitment and sacrificial love that this movie portrays! It excites me to love those around me more, and to constantly serve my husband no matter what! And I still consider myself the blessed one to be married to him and to be surrounded by loving family and friends!<br />
<br />
Here's a link to the trailer!!!! Go see and it and post comments!!!<br />

If that doesn't convince you...listen to the words of this song:<br />
<br />

<br />
And the final plug...this gets me every time. Listen to this humble apology! (Probably everyone has been in a situation where they have deserved an apology and dreamt of this!) <br />

What do you think of this movie??Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12135846168541234127noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316710622288852443.post-87875770948185730832010-01-12T13:58:00.001-06:002010-01-12T14:00:16.736-06:00Valentine's Day isn't just for Hallmark!To me Valentine's Day is every day...a time to let those around you know that they are loved and appreciated! Imagine if we celebrated each day that way? I believe relationships would be stronger, commitments would be more genuine and as a whole, people would be more happy! I reflected on these very thoughts as I sat at my workspace the last couple of days making Valentine's Day gift tags. Love is a choice and we need to choose to express our love more than one day out of the year!<br />
<br />
That's why I do what I do at YOUniquelyyours! I believe handmade gifts are one great way to extend a message of love by giving someone something that is as unique as they are! It's sure to be a memory they will never forget (not to mention want to throw away!) As I look at my refrigerator and boxes in my basement, the things that I have displayed (or set aside) are those handmade things from my young children, husband, and others close to me. It's the thought that counts, right?!??!<br />
<br />
Well, here are a few of the gift tags for Valentine's Day that I have created. They are posted on Etsy for sale!<br />

I've never considered myself technologically challenged, and I still don't, that's why I'm a little confused! How do you get people to follow you when you put a tweet out there? I'm just another tweeter trying to find my way! So if you want to...I'm out there:<br />

Over Christmas I got a few gift cards that I immediately put to good use at Michaels to get some GREAT deals on some Jetmax cubes for my storage space! Here are some updated pics of the progress! It will be a WORK IN PROGRESS! Just the way that I like it, because I can appreciate each phase, and oh how I am thankful for new storage!!! Move aside Basement....In comes the Craft Center!!!!<br />

</div>I have been incognito lately, as the hustle and bustle of the season has taken over! BUT...I did venture out with my family the day after Thanksgiving and got a GREAT buy on one of my favorites for Christmas....AN EMBELLISHMENT CENTER!!! I know...the excitement is unbearable...for me anyways!!! I am so excited to finally be turning my "workspace" in the basement, into an organized area, where I feel I can go to a neat space of my own to hobby! It's just the beginning of my up and coming craft area! I am hoping to have it all done after Christmas!!! A lofty goal! Here is my progress....<br />

I'm so excited to finally have that done and to be able to have my logo on all of my blankets! I don't know why it has taken me so long to get that done, but it has! My blankets are near and dear to my heart. I have been making them for 4 years now, and keep getting more and more passionate about them. My kids love them. They ALWAYS have to have them in the car and to go to sleep at night. That is why I call them THE LINUS LINE! I'd love to tell you that they are magical, but they are just INCREDIBLY soft. Take a look at my happiest customers!<br />

Each blanket is special and unique! Every time I go to the fabric store I take my kids. We pile the cart high with all of their favorite fabrics. That way I know that they are "KID APPROVED!" I love the idea of babies having a soft, unique blanket that stops traffic of people saying, "That is so cute! I've never seen that one!" That's because it's YOUniquelyyours!<br />
<br />
I have to admit that I love starting my own business. The process has been long for me and perhaps a bit drawn out, but slowly but surely I am getting "up and running." At first, I wanted everything to be instant and to just function, but I have learned to take it a day at a time, and to just watch it unfold.That's where I'm at right now being a SAHM and that's OK!!<br />

I am on Etsy a lot exploring different shops and sellers. One day I stumbled on a seller in a forum who offered to feature an interview with me as part of her BLOG entry! I had a great time thinking through the questions and expressing some of the passions behind my business! If you would like to get an up- close look at the inspirations of my business, take a look at this interview: (And make sure to look at the cute pictures of raspberrykidz!)<br />
<br />

<br />
Marketing is a weird concept to me, because it's a very humbling experience! You have to go out there are sell yourself, and that's not me! I honestly believe that word of mouth is the best form of marketing! Hmmmm....I hope to get to that point some day!<br />
<br />
So, in my most humble way....please tell a friend about what I do and keep me in mind for any upcoming needs you have for something handmade and unique! You can stop by my shop or website and check out all of my new items. I am usually adding things weekly.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12135846168541234127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316710622288852443.post-76614709680189510552009-10-04T16:06:00.000-05:002009-10-05T22:16:09.998-05:00Hi my name is YOUniquelyyours, you must be the BLOGGING world!?!?Well, I have finally arrived to the blogging world, and am hoping that I can keep up with this! But, if I can't I'm probably outside running with my kids or wrapped up with my crafting! I must admit, the purpose of me having this blog is to journal about my up and coming at home business....YOUniquelyyours! So...where do I begin?<br />
<br />
Being a SAHM and trying to start a business is HARD work! Let me tell you! It's taken over a year to even feel like my name might be out to some people. In fact, I just got my business cards done this past week! I KNOW!!! But, I have vowed to put my family first and ask God to bless my business where ever He sees fit! I'm not about fancy this or fancy that! I am about clean and simple, useful and functional! <br />
<br />
This week has been a busy week, With my husband on the night shift, I hit my Grandmother's antique sewing machine and sewed, sewed, sewed! I made 7 blankets this week, photographed them and listed them on my website (www.yours2give.com) and on ETSY(www.youniquelyours.etsy.com). I have to say, my favorite ones are those I named after my kids, based on what they love! See the pictures of each one! They are so cute:<br />

The way that I involve my kids into my business is I let them go with me to the various stores, and they pick out the material! We pile the cart high and get it cut! I can honestly put the "KID APPROVED" stamp on each blanket! So I feel good about this week and what was accomplished!<br />
<br />
Well, off I go! For my first post, I think this is good enough!!! A good intro! Goodybye!Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12135846168541234127noreply@blogger.com2
