Cup Sleeve Progress!

Hello all!
Wow! I'm sorry it's been an entire week since you've heard a peep from me, I have been working hours at Starbucks and crafting away in preparation for the upcoming Indie Craft Show!
I cannot believe it's just in over a month and a half!
I have never organized something like this before but I am so excited, I have been doing just about nothing except making plans for the show and making things to sell. This is going to be hard work but I think it will be so much fun and will really pay off!

Here's a peek at the sights I've been seeing most lately.

Yarn everywhere!

Pretty Buttons! :)

The finished product! A sea of crocheted cup sleeves!

I have 55 so far but my goal is to bring 150 to the Indie Craft Show on October 16!
Now I'm off to give my crafty hands a rest and spend some time with Matt and Daisy!

Little things about me : Confession #2

Confession: I LOVE the sound of glass breaking!

I don't enjoy the sounds of car accidents or of something I love breaking on the floor.

But I do love the sound so much!

Random but true my friends, random but true!

"Second star to the right and straight on till morning."

Well campers, it's Wednesday and we are officially half way through the week!
I have been thinking this week as I zone out into craft-land about what inspires me.
I loooove Peter Pan!
It has always been one of my favorite Disney movies (along with Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid! )
I looked it up on weheartit.com , a fabulous website similar to flickr where anyone can post photos for all to see! Here's what I found!
So inspiring!

Loom flowers!

It's been two wonderful days full of creating!
I could not feel more inspired right now!
I have taken a short break from making crocheted cup sleeves , in order to refresh my point of view.
I looked through all of my craft supplies to figure out what I wanted to do next.
I purchased a vintage flower loom at a thrift shop for .25 months ago, but I never knew how to use it...what a perfect time to learn!
Then I did what I always do when I need to learn a brand new technique, I googled it!

I found tons of tutorials and then when on to make about twenty loom flowers...this may just be my new favorite project..I love these little blooms so much!

I hope your weekend is lovely!
Is anyone else as ready for fall as I am??

What's in a Name?

Wow! Busy weeks here in the Kent household lately!

Matt has been very busy building his photography business Matthew R Photo,

and I have been slaving away making crocheted cup sleeves

to sell in the craft show I'm putting together!

I could not be more excited about this show!

The date has been set for Saturday, October 16th!

So, now I will be hard at work building some inventory, and setting up my website.

But first.... I need to NAME my business!

I've gone back and forth between several names but I think the one that I like best is

Lemon Made!

It's sort of a play-on-words with lemonade which is why I like it.

When life gives you lemons, craft them into something lovely!

I'll be making as many of these lovelies as my hands will allow!

Braidy Bunch

Hey there birds and blokes! Just poppin' in to share one of my newest summer loves....braids!

My hair isn't super long so I can't do all of the braiding that I want to but I try to work them into the outfit whenever I can!

Here's some favorites!

Braid train!

Little Things about me...

It's Monday Funday!

I hope your weekends were fantastic!

I'm going to start sharing things with you that you don't know

Confession 1:

I'm a library goer!!

I love to go to the library and get books on learning just about anything!

For the longest time I have checked out mainly crochet books, but cooks books are fun too!

I have really been looking for some good-read novels lately

....any suggestions for my next trip??
