It's finally up!

After several months of thinking about it, I finally launched my Etsy site, Monkeybee Designs. I only have 5 things posted right now, but more are coming. I really love the fabric rosettes right now, so expect more of those. I have several things made, but I wanted to start slow. Please check me out!

The name Monkeybee came from the girls. Lizzie is always a little busy bee and Gracie is our little monkey. That's how it's Monkeybee. My mom hand drew the artwork for the monkey and the bee and Wes worked it up in a graphic design software! It's truly a family effort.

Craft Show Preview

I have been working and going crazy getting ready for the craft show this weekend at Keller High School. Karla at Soap Addict and I will be sharing a booth! I'm excited and nervous at the same time! I can't believe it's almost here.

Here is a preview of some of the items I'll be selling.

Latest Craftiness

I've been inspired by my friend Karla of Soap Addict to expand my crafting. She started making soap full time. Soon, Karla and I are going to do a craft show together and I need to get stuff ready. I've beaded for years and made stuff for myself, gifts and sold a few things.

I expanded into hair bows and have made a few for the girls (which they won't keep in their hair) and some for friends. Now, I've decided to move into making rosettes out of fabric. I made a necklace last night and tonight I made some clips for friends' kids. I'm going to try my hand at headbands soon. I just started so everything is practice at the moment.

Below are some pictures of my first attempts.
