where I've been

BEFORE

AFTER

What happens when you get so busy that when you finally get a morning to relax and forget that you are a white girl and NEED sunscreen in the mean yet lovely Southern California sun. Ya, I can't walk. Might be the worst sunburn I've ever had.

Also, I apologize for my blogging absence. It all started because of this hoop that I made for my sweet friend... you might know her. Ashley, of Little Miss Momma. She recently had the most adorable second little bamboozle.  And so I made her a special hoop to add to her perfect little nursery.

And then something awesome happened. I woke up to LOTS of messages in my Etsy inbox asking for hoops just the same. And I almost cried! I felt so overwhelming excited and couldn't wait to get to work. But now.... I've been so busy that I totally neglected this space. {insert sad face}

So here's the new plan. Organize my schedule to include both writing time and creating time. AND a huge part of my plan? Re-brand. I'm thinking my name will stay the same but I really want to do a lot of re-designing for the blog and shop. Been looking at designers but can't find someone I like for a price I feel is fair. Plus there's that little part of me that wants to do it all myself. Because I'm crazy like that. But I love teaching myself little bits like that and stamping my approval on the fact that I accomplished a great task. So stay tuned.

Also on the schedule is create lots of ready-to-ship products, photograph them and get them in the shop for you. Don't worry.... if you want something custom, you'll OF COURSE still have that option (I actually LOVE creating custom pieces that I know will be cherished for a lifetime) but I also want to have easy peasy gorgeous pieces that ship out instantly with an easy click of the paypal account. :)

Ready to head home with you! 

To celebrate all the exciting change and me returning to the blog-o-sphere, what's better than a discount on HOOPS! Just head over to my *sparse* shop and use the code : BEAUTIFULHOOPS for a happy discount. The code will also apply to custom orders so don't worry if you want to go that route. Just message me with your thoughts and desires and when we work something out I'll post a custom listing for you with the discount!

Happy Weekend Friends!
