Saturday Sneak Peak


(excuse the horrible lighting in these photos)

I've been working my little tail off trying to prep for my first and second craft shows in November.   I'm changing up a few of my bag designs, and the color combos are really starting to reflect my own quirky style.  I'm also adding some brand new products for the Holidays.  I can't wait to share with you some of my finished products.  Soon I hope.  Happy weekend!

Sewing Legacy


This past weekend, I inherited a most wonderful gift: my husband's grandmother's old sewing notions. So many vintage zippers, wooden spools, thread, enough elastic to last many years, and so much more! This is just a glimpse of all that I came home from my in-laws' house with. I'm so very thankful for my MIL's thoughtfulness to give me these lovelies. It's been sweet to dream of the things I can now make with the plethora of supplies, and at the same time try to imagine the things that Nate's grandmother was planning to create.  I find it wonderful that these things don't have to sit in a box in a garage anymore, but can be used to make beautiful and useful things.  I met Nate's sweet grandmother only once, just a few months before she passed away, but this is something that makes me feel just a bit connected to her. 

p.s.  the blog is making a return...for good!  Looking forward to sharing little tidbits of my life.

Happy Birthday (all year 'round)

I made this sweet little garland for the Hubster's birthday at the end of July.  I wanted something manly (hence the blues) but still festive.  Found a blank spot on the wall, and fell in love.  I haven't taken the garland down yet, and it might be a while until I do.  My encouragement to you today?  Add a little festive lovie to your home just to make you smile!



Happy Friday!

Silver White Winters

These are a few of my favorite things:
  • when it is just cold enough outside that the sunshine is lovely and the shade is too cold.
  • Christmas!
  • wearing jeans under short sundresses
  • our neighborhood
  • when someone knows me well enough to guess what I'm about to do
  • wearing scarves
  • creating things
  • making lists and not following them
  • Katie Herzig
  • pointed-toe flats of all different colors and patterns
  • skinny vanilla lattes
  • that hottie hubs of mine
  • momma's house in the fall!
  • chocolate glazed donuts 
Happy Friday!

Welcome

HI!

I can still be found blogging with the Hubs over here. However, the time has come for me to have my own little corner for updates on all things lovely and crafty. You will find photos of my many Han Made Things here, along with basic "I love this and that" posts. Enjoy!
