Farmer's Market

I am so excited for the Poulsbo Farmer's Market to open!  For all of you local people the market will open April 7th, and be open each Saturday (with the exception of Viking Fest Weekend) from 9am-1pm.  My first day will be April 28th and the second day will be May 12th.  Also on May 12 KMPS will be out there, so we'll have some good music that day!

Here's some of what I've been working on lately for selling at the market

Smudge's Boo-Boo Friends (smudge is my son's bunny)
 

Infant Girl Hat

Infant Girl Hat

Baby Girl Bear Hat

Pig Tail Hat
 

Striped Baby Girl Hat

Baby boy hat

Catepillar (This is for a lady that takes pictures of babies - I will be selling the hat at the farmer's market, but not the body part)

It's been a busy week!  I also finished the first couple of Menu boards.  I'll put up some pictures as soon as I take some.  I think I need to actually pull out the "real" camera to use for pictures, the ones from the cell are a little fuzzy.

Handmade From the Heart

Those that know me know I am on Facebook a lot!  While it may look like I am constantly on there, it's really just on in the background of whatever else I'm working on (ok looking at on Pinterest).  Today I realized that facebook hasn't been giving me notifications when people look at my other pages.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had people "like" my page who I didn't even know!  And what's even better I had someone requesting hats.  Yes that's right HATS, as in more than one!!

I know all of you are excited to see what I've been up to with my little business.  By the way my first day at the Poulsbo Farmer's Market will be April 28th!

Here's a couple things I've been working on:

Burp Rag Babies
 
Baby Girl Beanies

Hello Kitty, Sock monkey, and Car hats (Imaging little car buttons on the road)
 
Found one of the finished Car hats
 
Viking hats



I'm also going to be making this hat.  Everyone should check out her site, she has some really cute stuff!

Hope to see you all at the Market!

Week 3 update

Made it through week three!!  So far I've lost 6 pounds and 6 inches, yea me!  Today I decided to time how fast I can walk a mile.  Started out just wanting to walk a mile then go sit in the hot tub, I wasn't feeling too motivated this morning.  But once I got started and finished my mile I wasn't ready to stop.  I know crazy huh!  So I decided to keep going and finished a second mile.  Altogether my two miles took 30 minutes and 33 seconds.  Not too shabby for walking.  Then I was going to go sit in the hot tub, but figured why stop I was on a roll.  So 10 minutes of jogging in the lazy river and 10 minutes of crunches in the lazy river (trust me it's harder than it sounds!) and then a 15 minute soak in the hot tub, no sauna for me today.  I think exercising must be addicting, I'm actually kind of sad I don't have time to go tomorrow morning.  Such a change from the old me.  Guess I just needed 36 years to grow up and realize exercising was something fun!  I think I've even convinced Justin to go with me on Saturday to walk on the track (have to get him ready for the color run too).
