Yippee Skipee

Well lately I've been making all these awesome dresses...




Here is my BFF Alisha modeling them a few of them for me. She was gracious enough to put aside a little time this past weekend (with her hands full with twin babies no less!) to pose for me and my Etsy store. Having a model made things so much easier, it seems. I was able to line up the shot the exact way that I wanted, and Alisha was so awesome- she was natural and beautiful through the lens. I just don't think that I am very photogenic!

Needless to say, though, an item of mine was just picked this morning for inclusion in one of Etsy's Gift Guides. I am truly excited about this...

...because it means that my store will be getting lots more traffic. Already, I had two items sell this morning and have nearly two dozen hearts added to my profile. Amazingness.

On a personal note, life has been really great. I think that my Easter celebrating has been fairly fruitful. Today I sat out on a coffee-shop patio for nearly two hours just reading. It was a pleasure book that I had selected last fall and had yet to even crack open. I would have sat longer and possibly even finished the book, but my butt got numb.

I also bought a bike and have been riding it all over. It's a pretty decent little road bike. I got it off of ebay for way cheap because I wanted a brand new one. I've not ever had a brand new bike before... I've only ever had fixer-uppers with lots of problems. I figured I owed it to myself. Especially what with the weather being so awesome!!!
