Sofian Family Update!

Sorry for not updating in a while. Our laptop bit the dust and we haven't been able to replace it iust yet. Aaron and I both upgraded our phones, so here I am being all tech savvy and posting this from my new Android phone.  :)

We are all doing well and anxious for the holidays.  Aaron is currently in training to be an assistant store manager. He has been away  in training for 4 weeks. He is able to come home on the weekends so we are lucky to be able to spend some time with him. We miss him but are excited for what is in store for our little family.  :) His new position is in Big Rapids so we are looking for housing but not in too much of a rush because our lease here in Lansing isn't up until February. 

Evan is crawling all over the place and even trying to climb too.  He is wonderful and I praise God every day for allowing me to witness his remarkable growth. :)  He has 4 teeth already, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. There is one more on top that is trying to make its grand entrance...which is making for a fussy unhappy little bubby at times, but we are working through it. :)

I am participating in Etsy's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale this year so if you are interested, check out my shop for some great deals and FREE SHIPPING!!! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!

PPCM Awareness Jewelry

So I finally have some bracelets made and listed in my shop.  I have had 3 sales so far and hope to have even more in the future.  The lovely ladies who purchased bracelets are some of my "Heart Sisters" and they very much like what they recieved.  I am so happy.  I plan on making and listing 10-15 more in the next month, if I am able.  Evan has been keeping me on my toes and so I really haven't had much time to do a whole lot.  He is rolling all over the place and enjoying every minute of it. :)

That's about all the new stuff that I have for now, someone is waking up as I type for a midnight feeding...I think we might be having a MAJOR growth spurt. :)

So excited!

I am so excited!  I just printed out my application for the One Stop Shopping Night Craft and Etc. Sale in November.  I also just put in an order for some brand new jewelry making stuff at TWO different places.  I can't wait to get it in the mail so I can start working on my new jewelry collection.  This one is going to be called "Mothers With Heart".  It is dedicated to all the women out there who have been diagnosed with Peripartum/Postpartum Cardiomyopathy~My Heart Sisters. :)  It is a reminder of what we have gone through and what we go through every day.  I hope it will help bring more awareness to women (pregnant or not) who are of childbearing age of the dangers of this condition.  I will be the first person (I have searched and Googled and have come up with nobody thus far) to make beautiful jewelry to bring awareness to this illness.  It makes me feel good that I know first hand what other women are going through and that I may be able to help them to deal with PPCM in some way by providing awareness jewelry for them.  I am absolutely geeked to be the one who starts the trend and I hope that I am not the last. 

We don't have an official awareness color yet, but some of the ladies who were first diagnosed have used Mint Green as their color of choice since it is not currently being used for anything else.  I plan on using mint green beads, green crystals, with silver awareness ribbon charms or beads, silver spacer beads,  and a single red bead to signify our heart.  I plan on making a few different versions and I am beyond excited to start playing around with patterns. :)
