The Descison has been Made...

First of all I want to wish all of the newbies WELCOME to my little blog!! I feel so very blessed to have all of you checking in and following me on my little journey. The #1 question I get asked is how do I do all of the things I do. My Family, church, business all take up vast amounts of time and if I were to be truly honest I would show you pictures of my house in its current state. That would prove to all of you exactly what falls to the wayside because of "all the things I do".

Because of all the things that are sliding past I need to make a change. And the first place I'm going to start....blogging. I am not new to the blogging scene. I have been at it since 2006, back when life was simpler and a lot more relaxed. With my business I decided to start this blog so that I could keep them separate, but it's just not working. I have a personal blog, business blog, Etsy shop, Bigcartel site, 3 separate email addresses and of course Facebook. Needless to say my time is becoming more and more valuable!! My blogs are the ones that are suffering and I went from blogging all the time on my personal site to once every couple of months. So bad!!!! So if you wouldn't mind...I really need to consolidate. This coming year will bring some big changes including a Treasured by Holly iPhone app, a brand new website for my store, and the combining of my blogs.

So hopefully I will not bore you with my day to day ramblings and my family's little escapades. And all can look forward to my Fitness Fridays posts...oh the joys of taking off a few pounds ;) and me playing catch up from my other blog. And I will look forward to spending the extra time with my cute little ones that are growing up too fast!!!

Cutest little bundle!!

My friend's little bundle of joy arrived a few weeks ago and I was super excited to make her some things for his first shoot. He is just too precious and I just love how they turned out!!! The first two aren't up in my store yet, but believe me they will be by the end of the weekend ;)

Earflap Beanie

Newborn Elf Hat

Charcoal Grey Newsboy Cap

Classic Beauty!

I received a picture from one of my clients showcasing my work as well as hers! I just love when I can get pictures of my products! We all know that pictures are worth a thousand words and this photo is the epitome of that!

That's why this year, New Year's resolution #1 is to take/get more pictures of my products in action. I have over a 125 products listed and way more sitting at home waiting their turn. This will be no small feat I am aware, but worth the time. It will help my business as well as those purchasing my products in how to wear them. Today I am going to make the rest of my resolutions and get my plan in action ;)

If you're interested in seeing more of Christine's work head on over to her website. She is simply amazing!!!! Here's the link: http://www.cpapenhausephotography.com/

Stripes are here

I've had a lot of requests to put stripes in my Newsboy caps. My pattern did not allow me to do so, but with a bit of tweaking to the pattern I'm happy to say bring on the stripes!

These are just two examples, but the possibilities are endless ;)

Fun times

I was able to snag one of my cousins while she was in town for a photoshoot. I must say it's not very often that I have a blonde hair, blue eyed beauty at my fingertips. Talk about a bunch of wardrobe changes, but it was all worth it. Now if I could get her Mom to bring down the rest of her sisters for Thanksgiving I would be set!!

Newest Recruit

Miss "L's" mother contacted me to whip up a little something for her Birthday. She wanted an Ava hat in Espresso with a Black Ava Flower. I was just thrilled, but of course it came with a catch. She would have to model it for a shoot. Luckily Miss "L" was happy to oblige ;) Isn't she just gorgeous!!

I just love my beautiful Young Women and their willingness to help out my business. Thanks "L" you were perfect today!
