i'm opening an etsy store

so- i have just about finished making 10 headbands. hopefully they will be done by saturday so that i can take pictures and put them in my etsy store! i opened on a year ago and never put things in there so i might have to work on that! but for those of you who wanted one wait and see the ones i have, if you would rather have another color or whatever let me know and i will custom make one. for the "grand opening" of my little store i will be selling the headbands for $9.99. i will have some other stuff too but not by this weekend. wish me luck! the goal is to save enough money for a disney trip in may.

headbands

i have been wanting one of these crochet headbands seen here( from layers) but i wasn't able to find them anywhere. well when my sister in law amy had a birthday last week i thought to myself " jackie make her one of those super cute headbands." i'm not one to argue with myself so i made one...

like this. and i haven't stopped since. by the way check out layers awesome clearance sale. i have been eyeing their dresses all winter long and now i think i might get a few.

abes favorite trick

sucking his toes.

eli turns 2!

february 21st was eli's 2nd birthday. eli is just like his older brother and has become enamored with scooby scooby doo- so his birthday party was scooby doo themed. i don't think you can tell by the picture how cute the chair we got him is. they had these awesome 60 year old vintage chairs at downeast home. we got ezra a mini rocking chair for his 2nd birthday and the kids always fight over who can sit in it, so we got him a chair. eli got lots of fun presents...toys, a hand painted piggy bank with money in it for disneyland, cherry hill passes, shoes a more! i can't believe this boy is already 2. he is such a fun and (mostly) sweet boy and we love him. it seems like he has always been with our family.
