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!

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!

Upcoming Craft Show

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.

Featured Artist
You'll have to excuse the extended absence I took from the blog. I am back now though, and plan to make this a more active blog again!
Today's featured artist is Cindy of Peacock Jewellery (CindyLouWho2.etsy.com) Peacock Jewellery is based out of Calgary, Alberta.
Cindy's jewellery are amazing works of art! She has a signature peacock blue colour (blurple) that unifies her shop, with many other complimentary colours that just make her shop such an appealing place to browse.
Cindy also generously donates 10% of her sales to MitoAction, a support and awareness group for mitochondrial disease (http://www.mitoaction.org/).
I just recently received a bracelet that I ordered from Cindy, and it is FABULOUS! The attention to detail, and the quality of her work is immaculate.
Here is just a sampling of her work:
Paua Abalone Shell and Pearl Cluster Earrings in Blurple
Peacock Pearl and Sapphire Swarovski Crystal Necklace
Aqua Blue Recycled Sea Glass Earrings in Sterling Silver
Black Lava and Czech Crystal Memory Wire Bracelet
Take some time and browse her shop. There are so many treasures to be found there.

A Custom Order and an Update
I finished up a custom order this week. It was for 2 reversible pinafores. All my custom orders I usually package up, and forget to take pictures, but I remembered this time.
Dress 1 (sized 3-6 months):
Dress 2 (sized 6-12 months):
In other news, over the weekend I picked up a couple of body forms (the one in the pictures above is a 6 month size), and I also picked up a 2T size. I also picked up a styrofoam head for photographing hats.
So you'll see me slowly replacing the photos in my shop with new ones.

Have a look at it, click around at the items, some really neat, and very pretty things!

New to the shop!
I've started carrying extra large flannel receiving blankets. You can't find these in stores, and store-bought ones are not big enough to swaddle more than a newborn.
These blankets come in a variety of prints (more are constantly being listed), are lightweight and useful for a variety of purposes.
Some of the uses for these blankets are:
-swaddling (big enough to swaddle even a toddler)
-nursing cover (allows you to nurse in public very discreetly)
-changing pad (rolls up small, and can slip into any bag for quick diaper changes)
-sun shield (can use over a car seat, or stroller to keep the sun of your infants sensitive skin)
-tummy time nap
-cleaning up and protecting clothes from spit up
-and any creative use your toddler can come up with (cape, headdress, etc)
Here is a sampling of some of the prints currently in the shop:
Get yours today! Perfect for a baby shower gift, or for your own little bundle!
