Kottage Kupboard

I am really excited to announce the first show of my spring line-up. I will have a booth at the Kottage Kupboard Mother's Day show May 5-8 at the Golden Spike Arena in Ogden, Utah.
You can get more info on this show, including hours and directions, by visiting their website at http://www.kottagekupboard.com/.

I participated in their Christmas show last year and it was one of the funnest shows that I did all year. There are a ton of really great vendors with really fun booth displays. They have a rigorous screening process for vendors that participate in their show, so the quality of items sold at the show is really high. I had a hard time not spending more than I made at the last show because there were so many fun things to buy.

I will have a really light show schedule for the spring and I will probably not be doing any shows over the summer, but I plan to have a full line-up in the fall. So, if you want to stop by and see my goods before fall, this will be one of your only chances!

On a different note, the pregnancy is going well and I found out this week that I will be having two girls! I am excited because this means I will have two new models for all of my fun stuff! My poor teenage boy will really learn to understand girls, growing up the only boy with four little sisters. I told him that he will make a great husband someday.

Yep! I'm still here!

I haven't updated for a while. The holiday season was crazy for me. I did a lot of really great shows and was very busy with orders from my Etsy shop. It was a great time of growth and I also learned a lot. I will be much better prepared for the holiday rush next year.

After I got my last order shipped the week of Christmas, I got some exciting news. I am pregnant again! But the excitement doesn't stop there. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was having twins, so when I went to the doctor for my first appointment, I asked him to check to make sure there was just one baby in there. I will never doubt my gut feelings again. I am having identical twins, due in August.

I still plan on growing my little business while I grow my little babies, but I will be slowing down a bit. My Etsy shop is alive and well and I plan to add new items soon, now that I have time to sit down and create new patterns. I am also looking into some spring boutiques and will be announcing my spring lineup soon. Please stay tuned during this exciting time while both my business and family grow!
