{THIS MOMENT}

A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

New Year, New Designs

A week into the new year and orders are slowly starting to gearing up for another crazy wedding season.  I'm taking the same approach as last year.  Instead of working by wedding date as each order comes in I confirm the order then assign a completion date.  Worked great last year so if it's not broken....

Today I finished this kokeshi custom that I just love.  I will probably offer it in the shop.  This lovely customer wanted a bride and her secret superhero groom captain america with shield.


Also coming are these tiny (1") sweetheart blocks.  They make a great add on to any topper



I'll also be expanding my children's accessory line to include more jewelry.  Really excited about that.  Just have to find the time between daughters naps to get creative.

Happy New Year










I can't believe a new year is here. How they go so fast.  This year my resolution is simple, take a breath to enjoy life.  Stop worrying about the next thing that has to be done ( cleaning, shopping, painting ) be less critical of people no one is perfect especially myself.  I want to enjoy every moment put in front of me.  Savior these year with my daughter as she grows into her own little person.  These snuggly moments will be gone before I know it.  I'm so thankful for being able to pursue my dream business.  It's allowing me to be there for all my daughters firsts.  Here is to another blessed year.

Happy 2013

xo,

K
