Saturday Slice - Going Green

All of the items used in today's post are either made from recycled items or are reusable. I hope you find some inspiration.

Saturday Slice - Travel

I'm not a big fan of winter so I've been dreaming of traveling this week. Here's a few interesting things that I found. Hope you enjoy!

New Release!

Today we launched the froggy hat! Isn't it the cutest?







You can get your very own froggy HERE, as well as many other great items.

Saturday Slice

Let's have a tea party!

I'm using a new program for these now. If you want to go to any of the items to see more, just click the picture!

Enjoy!



Heather will be taking over this feature. She always picks the greatest things to share with me on Etsy! :) I can't wait to see her themes and items she picks every week!

Lots of thinking time!

I've had more thinking time that normal lately. My wrists have been in pain due to too much time on the computer, so I can't spend too much time on here, or too much time doing a lot of my crafts (can still get away with some).

I really would like to put this blog to better use! I'm re-instating Saturday Slice, but my partner Heather will heading that up (I love the Etsy items she's sending me all the time!). That feature may be renamed... based on the day it is to be published on, but it will be back.... VERY SOON!

I also really want to start doing my Featured Artist Posts again. There's just SOOO much talent out there! And each artist is amazing in themselves! :) I want to share some of of the people I've been getting to know over the last year that I have been selling online.

Lately I've also been thinking of a brand new feature. :) I'm really excited about this venture... and perhaps may have some guest bloggers get in on it, we'll have to see. But, I'd like to also have a weekly feature that would feature a crafty tutorial on the web, and then photos of our creations based on that tutorial, and maybe and thoughts we had on it (because I know I always change a few things when following patterns or tutorials... I can't just follow things to a T).

I would love to hear any feedback on any of this!

I'm off to try to sleep, and hopefully tomorrow my arms/wrists will be rested, and ready for me to work.

Been Busy

(I apologize for the lack of posting.... I wrote this post January 2nd, and never posted it!!! Talk about brain freeze!)

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! We sure did.

Now it's back to work, and lots of exciting reveals.

First off, we just launched a 2nd online shop!! Barefoot Clips, which remains under Barefoot Creations, now carries all our hair accessories and leg warmers. We were finding there was just TOO much for one shop, and decided to get a little more organized.

We, of course, will combine shipping costs between the two shops.

We also have some brand new products coming in the next couple of weeks, plus more variety within our existing products.

We've got TONNES of leg warmers in many different prints available:








We've also got much more variety in our hair clips and flower clips and combos:









Coming soon are some new loveys, new clothing pieces, chalk placemats (recall these ones I made previously, I've fine tuned the design after some trial and testing):

Time

I've finally got some time to work on some personal project, and try things I've been wanting to.

Last night I whipped up a couple of gifts for kids in my daughter's playgroup. Here are last night's projects:

Owl (made from a pattern by Snug'n'Luv):





and an Pencil Crayon Art Tote:





I enjoyed working on both of these projects. I have many more I want to work on over the holidays.


Barefoot Creations is on vacation right now. From December 15th - January 2nd, we have decided to give ourselves a holiday to spend with our families. :) Although our shop is still online, and we are available to answer some convo's, items purchased in this time will all be shipped January 2nd! Thanks for understanding!

Free Shipping

The deadline set by Canada Post to ensure your parcels arrive for Christmas for U.S. customers is December 1st! SO as a special promotion, I am offering free shipping of anything in the shop to ANY location! Take advantage of it while you can!



We will be closing down the online shop from December 15th til January 2nd in order to celebrate Christmas with our families and take a much needed break, so please ensure you place your orders before then.

Feel like you're missing out of updates? Become a fan on Facebook . I send out updates on there with a little more regularity than I update the blog. :) Plus you can now browse my shop directly on Facebook!

Another new product

We just started selling mini chef sets.

These sets include an adorable reversible apron, and a matching chef's hat. These are very adjustable in age they will fit, as the hat has velcro for adjusting and they will fit as young as two years old.

Available in several prints, both for girls and boys.

Upcoming Craft Show

Saturday November 14th, we will be closing down our online shop in order to participate in the Nicholas Sheran Christmas Gift & Craft Show. This is an annual Christmas craft show in Lethbridge, Alberta. It runs from 10 am-3:30 pm. If you live near by, be sure to come by and say hi! Admission to the show is only $1, and there will be many fabulous vendors.

We have been madly prepping for this sale for a few weeks, hence the lull in activity on the blog and the shop. Here are a few pictures of the NEW products that will be represented at the show:

Crochet Headbands with Large Flower Clips (lots of selection in flower clips):









Hair Clip Pairs:



Snap Clips:



Itty Bitty Snap Clips:



Medium Flower Clips:



We will also have baby leggings, receiving blankets, fun seasonal hair clips, little chef apron and hats sets, doll clothing sets, children's vest and hat sets, and a wide selection of knit and crocheted hats.

Will take some photos at the show, for those of you unable to attend.
