Honie's Little Shop Swamped...

I have been SUPER busy working away at getting things ready for this Sunday.

I'll be at the Local and Lovin' It event in Bend with some AFFORDABLE one of a kind handmade and hand sewn items.

If you're local it is at the Phoenix Inn Suites. What better way to get your Christmas shopping started and/or finished than to purchase from those that it really makes a difference for?!

I have had so much fun with the NEW items I've been creating. I'm sad that I didn't start them sooner.

One thing I've learned is, "You live and you learn". It is a part of life. I've been teaching myself to read some patterns, the easy ones of course. Once I master those, I'll move on to the more difficult ones.

Here are some photos of what I've been working on for the event.

Little Boys burp cloth and bib set (working on girl sets too)

Tutu... so many color & layer options available

Seashell Charm Bracelet

Events for Nov., Dec. and Jan.

I have quite a few things going on over the next few months. I'm going to be so busy!

I'm excited for all things to come but I have a feeling I'll be exhausted when its all done.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with a friend who is hosting a Croptoberfest. I will be working on cutting out fabric for items to be sewn, along with cutting tulle to make tutus. I will be kid free as they're staying home with their father, so that should allow me to get quite a bit done.

On the 20th, I'm going to be at the Local and Loving It Event in Bend and the Phoenix Inn Suites. I'll have some handmade and handsewn items there available for purchase from Honie's Little Shop. I'll also have some business cards for Wrap and Lose and Your Wedding Day Your Way.

Dec. 10th and 11th I'll be a vendor at the A Big Deal for 4-H craft show that is being held at the Expo Center in Redmond. There will be a rummage sale along with the craft show. You're sure to find something for everyone. Not to mention you're helping the youth of Deschutes County!

January 14th I'm attending the Central Oregon Wedding and Event Show as a vendor instead of the Bride to Be. I can't tell you how excited I am. The wedding show is HUGE for Central Oregon and is put on by Incredible Events at The River House.

Almost immediately after is conference for It Works! Global, which is where I started Wrap and Lose from. Its held January 19th to the 21st in Tampa, Florida. It is still up in the air on whether I'll be attending for sure or not. I would really like to but with everything going on, 2 small children and the cost, it might not happen.

I am however, pushing to do what I can to get there.

After January it seems as for right now things will be calm and back to "normal".

In between the events that I'm attending I am free for wrap parties. If you're not sure what that is, its basically a time for you to get your friends and family together to tone, tighten and firm in as little as 45 minutes.

Hosts that have 7 participating guests get their wrap free! Its a $35 value, however, for parties its only $25 per guest. You save $35 and they save $10 each! There are other host perks too!

More information about products can be found at my website Wrap and Lose.

WAHM of 2

I'm a work at home mom of two wonderful children.

The other pages on this blog will allow you to have a little insight on the businesses I'm involved with.

With having two small children, a husband and 3 businesses there is never a dull moment in this house.

Some times I wish I had a little more down time than I do, but when I have it, I wish that I didn't. Kind of a catch .22.

There are days that I wish I had some help around the house and others I wish I had an assistant for the businesses.

Things generally work themselves out though and so there is no maid (unless you count myself) and there is no assistant...unless you count my children whom usually make a bigger mess.

As you read these posts on the home page, you'll find that some pertain to work, some to my family and some may just be random.

Whatever the case, I hope that you get a laugh or learn something from each one.
