Peace!

First off, I want to say.. I love these items. :)A pretty new store sent me a fun package.. pretty much a complete surprise.

And they are just SO great.

Every single item in the store is made from a recycled material. They set they sent me? A match set from wool sweaters!

PeacedTogether4U is a wonderful shop. I've gotten to talk to both of the ladies behind this.. they have amazing customer service.. they are willing to work with you.. very open to trying different things. :)

My matching set included arm warmers, two sets of slippers (1 for me, 1 for my 4 year old Alivia) including 2 brooches, and a hair clip.

All very well made! And (as you can see from one of the photos) my little girl needed new slippers really bad.. so this came just at the right time. :)

My feet always get cold in my

sewing room.. drafty window, I live in Michigan.. it's the coldest room in the house. These slippers, on top of my socks, kept my feet PERFECTLY

warm and comfortable.. NOT sweaty in the least.

And the style of this hair clip is good to use for kids AND adults.. i love it and so do my girls. :)

Thank you PeacedTogether4U for sending me some great products!

I suggest you readers check it out, too! There are more items in their shop that were not sent to me.. go see what there is in store!

How Cheeky!

I've been friends with this mama for a while now.. and when she decided to branch out from cloth diapers to also making children's clothing, I was automatically interested in seeing her new product.

She made my 6 year old a long sleeve dress. She dropped it off a little before Christmas.. so this became a Christmas review. :) Which is ALWAYS fun!

And when I do a review, I always check out the product thoroughly.. inside, outside, the structure and construction of it.. i really check it out!

I love all the different prints and panels in this dress.. i love the length, the style, the coverage, and the ease of use (pull on, wash, dry.. doesn't wrinkle..)

The style and the material make it something I would want more of!

Knowing that it's well made AND my princess was happy.. made this product one that i can truly boast about.

Thank you, Beth at Cheeky Threds, for the opportunity to write about your shop. :)

Adorable Designs

I contacted this mama at Christmas time (I was referred to her through another WAHM to get a special to made). I was looking for a Rudolph for my 4 year old.. who has wanted a Rud
olph doll for over a year now.

I was impressed with the response I received, and was happy with how I was taken care of.

And when I received the special toy in the mail, I was SUPER happy with it!

Even my husband said "This is homemade?.. wow.. very nice

job, VERY nice job".

It makes my proud when I have homemade items in my home that I can truly brag about.. and this is one of them.

And my daughter was SO happy with it, too. As you can

see. :)

Thank you, Little Demoura Designs, for blessing our family with a truly amazing product. :)

Crocheted Kisses

I was sent a pretty crocheted holder by the mama behind Things. by Christine.

I took it out of the package and looked at it for a minute.. how was I supposed to attach it to something without an opening (just a loop)?

Then I had an idea.

I looped it through itself around my belt loop. Perfect. :)

The fit of the the chapstick? Perfect. It doesn't go in too far, so it's easy to get out. But it's also a night tight crochet.. so it keeps it in nice and snug.

I also used it for my Nivea lip gloss (my fav, btw) and it still worked out great. :)

This can be hooked on ANY thing. Looped around solid things like belt loops, purse or diaper bag handles.. or anything that DOES have an open attachment, like the top of my sanitizer.

Check out Things. by Christine. See the other fun crocheted items she makes. :)

Addie's pretties :)

Playtyme Creations (who has been previously reviewed on our blog, for doll diapers and reusable coffee filters) has branched out into a new product line.. Addie K's Clippies.

I was first sent this pretty blu

e and silver snowflake clip.. which i LOVE 'cause i'm a snowflake freak. :) Besides that though.. it felt a tad wobbly.. like it wasn't glued right, or it jut needed reinforcing?

Kiera was in the process of finding the right way to heat the glue for it to work well.

So just a bit ago, I was sent this second set of clips.. which is MUCH more sturdy.. and SOO pretty.

By jove, I think she's got it! ;)

The one thing I love most so far about this branch of her store is that all of her clips (that I can tell) are snap clips!

A lot of mama's use alligator clips, or others.. but snaps clips are rare to find in a WAHM store.. so i'm VERY GLAD of this fact.

That and the ribbon wrapping on each one make these great for any hair type.. ESPECIALLY fine hair (like mine) because regular clips tend to move around/slide.. and these stay put.

Very well priced.. quick to ship, and fun to customize. I definitely recommend this store.

OneTwoThree has struck again!

I received another item from OneTwoThree Shop a few weeks ago.I did a review for this wonderful mama earlier this year.. a shirt and pants set with a sash.

This time, I was sent a beautiful jumper dress!

It was fun for my 5 year old to open the package. :)

The print of this is so cute.. the fabric is a great quality cotton, also. And upon examining the stitching, I have to say this Work at Home shop does VERY good work.

I'm sure you would LOVE to have ANYthing from this shop! :) The owner is super easy to work with, many custom items available, and some ready to ship, too! For GREAT prices.

Check it out for your holiday or birthday shopping!

Banner up!

Another review for Jewel-Kat.. turning out to be one of my all time favorite stores!! :D

You know those paper birthday banners you can get for cheap at the store, that you hang up, look all cute, you fold it up for the next time, and after a while, they fall apart and you throw them out?!

This is not that product.

THIS IS AWESOME!

A reusable, washable, customizable banner!

You can put WHATEVER you WANT on it!

I received one that was "generic" of sorts. Says "happy birthday" in colors that i can use for ANY birthday party! For a family member, a child, a friend, a coworker.. my boss..

This is GREAT!

The price is reasonable.. the letters are PAINTED on, so there's no stitching to come apart on each triangle..

You can fold them back to back into a small compact pile that will fit anywhere for storage..

They are zigzag cut and straight stitched on the edge, so they won't fray or fall apart.

They are "hung" with bias tape.. so there's no ribbon strung through that might fall out.. the ends are looped and tacked to hook, or pin, or nail, or tape.. HOWEVER you want to attach it!

This is by far one of the coolest, most use friendly, birthday banners ever. :)

If you don't even CONSIDER purchasing one of these, you're crazy. :)

Head over to Jewel-Kat ONCE AGAIN and check out ANOTHER awesome product from this great mama!
