It’s been quite the busy summer for me and embe’s anniversary almost snuck by without my knowing it. With a new little peanut and a new home in the last few months its been a whirl wind of no sleep, poopy diapers, furniture shopping and decorating. But more about those another day! I’m so excited to be celebrating our two year mark. When Mary and I first thought about selling our crafts, I was hopeful but had no idea how much everyone would enjoy our items. Thank you all our shoppers and fans for your support! It means so much to us.

We’ve received such great feedback from our customers that I wanted to share a few with everyone. Our customers really are the best, and they keep us inspired to make these handmade creations!

My son love love loves these [newsboy] caps and I will be ordering more because they are so well made. (5/15/11)

When my son Noah (7 months old) was wearing it [newsboy cap] as we went around town, I counted at least 11 compliments and smiles and adoring looks — on the bus, in the library, on the street, everywhere I took him. (4/6/11)

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that we LOVE the chef hat. We use it all the time now! (3/25/11)

These [cushy] letters look great in my daughter’s room. The seller went out and found new material just for me! She was very quick about doing it and gave me some options based on what I asked her for. She was very willing to cater to my specific needs. I was so impressed with the letters I ordered more from her! (3/9/11)

So adorable! Every time I put my little one in this [hooded poncho] and put her in her stroller she falls asleep! Well worth the money (11/1/10)

This apron is adorable! It’s exactly as pictured. My niece is going to love this (10/18/10)

• Fuschia corduroy
• Green corduroy
• Blue corduroy (w/ hint of gray)

These fun colors are sure to be a hit with your little ones this season. Check it out today!

Wishing all our readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I have to say I admire all children photographers. It takes so much patience to get the perfect shot.

Here’s what happened last year when I tried to get Christmas photos…

So not a happy camper!

We got smarter lucky this year because she was in such a great mood (ie. full belly and napped!) and even tolerated the headband, which she usually wouldn’t wear. This one is one of my favorites.

Happy holidays everyone! We’ll be back in January with new posts and craft tips.

xoxo,

Cathy and Mary
