All of our IN BLOOM hair clips are 50% off!

The sale won't last long so grab them at this low price while you can!

In an effort to produce more of these IN BLOOM hair clips (which, I still love!) I burned through a bit of the money that's now comfortably sitting in my paypal account thanks to some recent orders.

I purchased some of these lovely little Dress It Up Gemstone Petals



I purchased the light pink (which is the color I've primarily been using), light blue, & peridot. I can't wait for them to arrive so i can get to work with them!

I was so excited when I logged into the computer on Sunday to find that I had sold four of my mini purses in my etsy shop! With everything that's been going on I haven't been promoting my items at all, although I've been greatly motivated lately to seriously try to get some things going in that area.




Imagine my surprise when I logged on yesterday & found that I'd sold this set of baby blocks in my shop, too!




Sometimes these are just the little boosts & motivation I need to get things going again!

Oh dear, it's been over six months since posting here!

Part of that comes from having had another baby girl on December 5! (I can't believe she's almost six-months-old!).

With the business of everyday life, most of my creativeness has gone primarily into projects for personal use, gifts, and custom orders.

However, I'm hoping to now settle in a bit more (my husband & I have also both started PT work-at-home jobs) & devote some serious time into Style Me, Baby! (I really really hope that happens!)



Right now my plans are to introduce my new hair clips hard core & plan a giveaway very soon.

I can't believe Christmas is already next month! I thought it would be fun to take the "Handmade Pledge" (click the button below to find out more) but I do so much of my Christmas shopping in advance that there's probably not a whole lot more gifts I have left to get! Still, if you haven't done all of your Christmas shopping yet I think you should check out the handmade industry!

I Took The Handmade Pledge! BuyHandmade.org


Buying handmade is also being promoted in an article on CNN.com as a way to save money this holiday season. You can read the article here.

More exciting for me is that Mom Spark has created a holiday gift guide & Style me, baby! is featured in several of the categories. There are a lot of talented people showcased in the guide & they have a lot of great gift options.



Feel free to let others know about this great gift guide for the holiday season! You can post the button on your blog, too!

Well, I've officially been very uncrafty lately. The only thing I've done, sewing-wise, sinc the craft fair was come up with a couple of cute bibs (neither of which I have pictures of & one I already gave away) & repair a tent that tore when my husband took his Sunday School kids camping last month.

This baby is due in TWO WEEKS! I'm kind of doubting much will happen in the creating department until next year.

I wish that I actually had time to create & promote my items. I'd really like to find a venue(s) that would really work with my items. I definitely would like to try a baby boutique. I'm a bit intimdated by the paperwork, I don't want to go in looking stupid!

Time lately, is just not on my side. Addison will be two this month & she is pushing the limits! It doesn't matter how consistent we are, she continues to try to get away with things & has become oh-so-whiny. I don't know how much of this has to do with the fact that she's:

1.Cutting another tooth
2.Had a cold last weekend
3.And is still adjusting to the time change

Plus, this new little baby is due in less than 4 weeks! These are not optimal crafting conditions.
