Finally, some new items and good news!

It's been a while, but I finally have some new items up for grabs on Hip-Threads.com. With more to come soon :) Including three pairs of pants, two are made of some new hemp that I just got, the other pair are a patchwork sidepanel pair made from recycled jeans. I am excited to post them! But the next week is very busy for us....Josh FINALLY got a new job! This economy has been rough, but after nearly 1 year of searching, he has gotten a good, full time job! He starts next Monday!
Also next weekend our friends get married, and we have guests flying in from out of town. It should be fun! But I am not sure if I will get the pants done...we'll see.


New hats made by Christina! Awesome, fleece hats, great for the fall and winter weather and so cute and stylish!!! I love this brown hat with the ruffly flower. She also has this super cute purple fleece butterfly hat available, a striped corduroy hat and more!


Also, Saraa from Hemp Love is back making jewelry for the site! She makes awesome hemp necklaces and bracelets ~ they are unique and stylish.

She has several different styles of jewelry all made from hemp and they range in price from just $15 bucks to $35.

New things I made...11/27/8

Still pretty stressed around here.  The worry of Josh's job loss still looms, and I am working lots of hours both at work and sewing to pad our savings account.  I am also sewing some custom orders, and making Christmas gifts.  I am really hopeful the gifts turn out as great as they are in my head :)  I am really excited about them!!  I love to make handmade gifts, I wish I didn't have so many other projects right now so I could enjoy them more.  My Christmas wish is to have the basement usable in the next 2 weeks so that we can get a christmas tree, since we are not going home (and we have no room in our house currently).  with lots of work, from josh, (as i work OT, sew, and make christmas gifts:) so we'll see if it happens or not...:)  I am really hoping!  (he never reads this)

Anyhow, I have had a small amount of time to do a few other things for my website. 
They are available to buy, think GIFT ideas!

Komen Race 11/2/08

I can't believe it's been 1 month since I have posted here!!!  This month has been as busy as it gets!  Josh's mom Peg came and stayed in the beginning of the month for a good long week, then we went on our anniversary trip!  
  It was great to have her here, I just wish the bedroom downstairs was not torn up so she had a more comfortable place to stay.  The foundation people, of course, couldn't get the walls fixed in 3 weeks (like they promised they would!!! argh) so she slept in a room without 2 walls, and drywall laying everywhere and drywall dust too!  Boy did I feel bad for her, but she said she didn't mind....so, I guess thats ok?!?   We had a full week of activities planned, the Komen race for the Cure, hiking and going into the mountains, going to Coors, and Coyote Ugly.  And of course lots more!
 
Here are Peg and I at the start of the Komen Race.  The pink scarves were given to us from my work.  I thought that was cool! 



Here is the start of the race, you can see that people are walking in front of us for a loooonnnnngg way!!!  The Komen race in Denver attracts over 70,000 people and is the largest walk in the nation.  woo hoo!



Here you can see all the people walking on the entrance ramp to I-25.  I love this part of the walk!  It's so awesome to see all the people who are also walking. 


Here is Peg under her Survivor Sign.  11-20 Years survival from Breast Cancer.  YEA!  How awesome is that.  Seeing all the women there, and how everyone is touched by this disease makes me feel like my job is sooo important.  Sometimes work is boring and long and I dont want to be there...but I know that i am making a difference each day.  Cancer research is one of the most important parts of finding a cure, and collecting and analyzing the data is too.  It's great to be a part of the cure for all of these women and their families.  (Same for all the other cancer out there, not just breast :)


Here is the 3 Sisters Trail in Evergreen, CO at Sunset.  We had a nice little hike through the woods, then climbed the rocks and had a beautiful view of the autumn colors and beautiful mountains and sunset! 


More pics of the 3 sisters trail. 

Apparently, I do not have that many pics of Peg's visit, or they never got downloaded into the correct spot?  Peg, send me some of your pics!  The Coors pics and some of the other cute ones, so I can post them!!!
