Congratulations you two!!
Those of you who entered for the giveaway thank you so much for participating!
They are the geniuses behind the amazingly popular blog Lolly Jane. You will understand right away why people are drawn to their blog when you visit them. Their eye for craft, home decorating and fun recipes are captured by the beautiful photographs and shows through in their posts. They are not only talented, they have the biggest hearts and are down to earth. I love them both!
Let me show you some of my favorites.
They have created this nicely organized Numbered Cubby System. Right now we don't really have an organized space like this in our mudroom, I am drooling over this look.
Christmas is around the corner, it is always nice to have different decorating ideas. I really love this mix of color and texture!
Then their craft room ... Isn't it so pretty and picture perfect? I am dreaming of visiting them and crafting with them.
Oh, how excited I am to finally be able to write this post! I was given a chance to collaborate with Hazel & Ruby to create my Tea Towel Apron as a kit for Crafternoon.
What is Crafternoon you might ask? Here is the promo video they have created:
Isn't thus such a great concept? I see something pretty on Pinterest and pin them with the intention of making them someday, but how often do I really do so? Crafternoon kits are made for someone like you and I... busy people who still love crafting and being creative.
It has been a long time since the day we started working on this project but I am happy to say that my kit; along with other fabulous craft kits are available at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, on their web site and other craft stores near you! They are projects that are simple enough to make in an afternoon. You don't have to worry about finding materials, matching the colors and patterns and so on. Everything you need to make the project is in the package (except the basic tools), all you need to do it is to have a blast!
Oh, then get this... I created a video for my kit. When you use the special QR code, you will be able to watch the tutorial. Are you up to sew along with me?
Tada! This can be yours (or who ever you want to make it for) in an afternoon!
Since this is a blog hop, let me introduce you to Virginia of Fynes Designs. She shares many home decor, recipes, party ideas and tutorials for everyday beautiful living. She created a fun embroidery hoop art for Crafternoon, make sure to hop over to see her! :)
I asked special blogger friends to review my Tea Towel Apron beginning this month, also I am hosting a giveaway soon. Lots of exciting things are happening, so stay tuned! :)
I have been keeping a secret for a while from you wonderful readers... but today I can tell you a bit about it.
I was approached by a company called Hazel & Ruby and given a chance to collaborate with them to create a craft kit!! I have been working to create the actual item, taking pictures, writing instructions and shooting a video! That's right, I said "video"! Being in front of a camera is not my forte, but I did it with my ever so supportive husband; AKA Mr.TRH.
Along with other blogger's craft kits (there are going be lots of fun kits!), my kit will be in a store near you soon. Eeek!
It would be a lie if I said I am not nervous, especially when I start thinking about whether my kit will sell or how people are going to receive it. But, looking back over the last several years of my life... how many times I passed up, or said "no" to opportunities, just because I was scared and because I didn't believe I could do it. This time, I decided to grab the bull by the horns and do my best. The rest... well, life is an adventure, right? I will wait and see what happens with an ever so delighted and thankful heart.
I will let you know when the product is released, so stay tuned! :)
