fourth st shop closing

Since moving on to a new career path, I've kind of abandoned my Etsy shop. I have been sitting on a stack of hats to photograph and post that are all still sitting on my desk. I even have a couple of half made things that Elinor has taken over (Rapunzel hat/hair that she interchanges with Elsa hair).

I just don't have the time or energy to make anything. I was liking randomly making things during nap time and selling through Facebook and Instagram. Once I started my Etsy I felt pressured to do more and push it when really it isn't what I want.

I will still make things when I get a chance or if I get a request but for now I am just going to let my Etsy run until everything is expired or sold. So if you see something you want, grab it now or email me with a offer!

Thanks anyone that say supported FourthStShop and all of you for reading here!

Time to clear some things out for the New Year.

DIY presents

I decided to make presents for a lot of my friends and family. Great idea but I should've started a lot sooner. I've been crocheting so many things that my fingers hurt. Plus making things for all the 6-7 year olds in my life is stressful. They all know what they want and will tell you if they aren't happy. So much pressure!

Elinor is so interested in what I'm doing. She picks up my hooks and pokes the yarn ball with it. Then she yells "yay! I did it!". I looked up finger knitting to show her. I think she's too little but with some help from mom, it should work. She is always so proud of projects she does. Dave was gone all day yesterday. When he got home she grabbed his hand to show him everything she had made during our day. Including the Christmas tree that has been up for weeks, just in case he forgot.

I have a few more things to work on. They may be late but I will finish them! Then I can start working on my Etsy again. I have some ideas for the store from all the gifts I've been making.


Only 2 more days to enter the Matilda Jane $50 gift card giveaway! 

Reminders

I've been meaning to do a real update on here but I just haven't found time. I'm exhausted today from a much needed mommy night out. I have a ton of projects to work on today. Luckly, Elinor is being awesome and playing nicely (pulling every toy out) while I get some things prepared to dive into during nap time.

My friend Chaz invited me to go see Knapsack in NYC last night with him. WOW! It was amazing. So many vivid memories being depressed and 15 watching their video from 120 minutes over and over.

I added some things into Etsy yesterday. I'm loving with how the Rudolph hat came out. I have some orders I need to finish in the next few days and then I will put up the things I didn't get around to yesterday.

Tonight is the Zylie twitter party! Don't forget to RSVP!

Be ready for a couple more reviews and updates on our adventures from last week!

Etsy

I've updated a few things to my Etsy and had a special order for a princess peach crown. I wasn't sure how it would come out but it is adorable! I need to make one for Elinor now. I would be able to get more done if someone would go to sleep at a reasonable hour! How do these kids have so much energy on no sleep??

Also my sister in law opened her own Etsy. She has added some really cute mobiles, stuffed owls and pillows. I wish she was making them when Elinor was a baby!

What are some hats you would like to see in the shop?

Etsy

I added some things back on my Etsy today. I will have to fix my shop button on the side. For now you  can check it out here!  I have a few more things to add and maybe my sister in law will add some of her adorable baby mobiles that she makes (hint hint Jessica!)

How cute is the one she made for her little Sophia??

Shop

I have so many pictures on our camera I need to post. I've been working on a lot of projects at night and haven't had time. I'm so excited about some new things I've made recently. A lot of them are gifts or special orders that I can't post pictures of yet.
I did finally add the little red riding hood cape to the shop and a fox hat. I'm posting from my phone so I'm not sure how to add a link on here. You can check the link to the shop over there on your left.

Maybe tonight I will have some time to schedule some posts. Sorry it's been pretty boring over here lately!

mama and baby crafts

How is it that I'm home so much more than ever but I can never get anything done? I was able to keep up on here, a little on pint size style, plus working fulltime and taking care of Elinor. I'm trying to crochet more and plan more activities with Elinor lately. Both are going well but crocheting is taking forever since I'm trying out new things and activities with Elinor take a lot of time planning for 10-15min of play.

I just finished a hooded cape for the shop but after trying it on Elinor for pictures, I want to keep it for her. But I think I will go ahead and sell it(look for it this week if interested) and possibly make a new one for her. I'm now working on a new hat that I've taken apart 3 times already.

Elinor loves the sensory bowls I've put together. The rice/corn/pasta is her favorite. After work, Dave even gets it out with her again. Yesterday we did water play (thanks Sarah for the suggestion!). I laid down towels with bowls of water, rubber ducks, stacking cups, spoons and measuring cups. She mostly liked moving the ducks from one bowl to the next as I counted and dipping the measuring cups in to get a drink.

Ashleigh had left a comment with a link to Second Story Window. I've never seen this blog but there are a lot of good ideas with sensory bins and crafts for little ones. I'm going to make a list and head to the dollar store soon.

fourth st shop

I have been asked to make some special orders. I was excited to try something new.

newborn yoda hat

2 scarves. 1 ribbed and 1 chunky

I'm working on something now that is taking FOREVER! Partly because I have to pay full attention while I'm working on it and Elinor does not like that. I hope when I finish it comes together because right now I'm not too sure. 

As soon as I finish that, I plan on working on more animal hats for the shop. Maybe in time for next winter!
