However, that doesn't mean I haven't been working on projects! The projects I'll be talking about today were made for one of my fellow Shutterfly Gurus, Lisa. Lisa lives down in good old Texas, that I actually got to visit recently for a work conference. I didn't get to meet up with Lisa due to the hectic schedule, but it was nice to get out of PA for a couple days and eat some Tex Mex.
Lisa is celebrating the birth of a second granddaughter, so she asked me to make some baby hats after seeing some photos on my person Shutterfly Share site. Of course, I was more than happy to oblige!
Here first request were two adorable munchin hats. One in red and white, and one pink:
You can grab the quick and fun pattern here.
Her second request was a purple berry hat that was really easy to whip up one afternoon, and I think it came out better than cute:
You can get the pattern for this little cutie here.
And last but not least, she asked for a pink hat especially for her older granddaughter. One with a huge flower on the side. We all know how I love to accessorize my items with flowers, so this was a great time for me. I even added a pink button to the flower for extra fun.
I don't have a pattern for that one since I kind of just made it as I went, but I'm thinking about writing one up for everyone :)
Lisa just received the hats earlier this week and loves them - thankfully! She will doing a whole photoshoot this weekend, and I can't wait to see the results. She's a great photographer and I always love browsing through her Shutterfly galleries.
And on that note, I can't tell you how thrilled I am that this weekend is finally here. It's been quite a long week trying to catch up on everything I missed at the conference in Dallas last week, and I've just been crazy exhausted. But it's totally worth it. I've also joined a fun little community called Etsypreneur, and so far I've been having lots of fun over there in the forums. If you sell on etsy, definitely check it out and friend me. AND I'm excited to say that I received my first international order a few nights ago, so I'm looking forward to making that headband and mailing it out.
If that wasn't exciting enough, it's Hubby's and my first wedding anniversary on Sunday. We're treating ourselves to a break by visiting my parents' lake house this weekend and exploring all the little shops and fun events the place has to offer. We're also taking our homework because what's a vacation without having hours of homework? :) Oh, well. But anyway:
It really doesn't seem like a year already, but I guess that's a good thing. We're looking forward to celebrating with champagne and year-old cake on the 10th, haha. Hopefully it's lasted! I'm pretty sure my mom wrapped it like a nuclear device, so we're probably good to go. Have a great weekend, everyone!
