Wreaths

I started making wreaths about two years ago. For myself, family and friends. So when Katie told me to sell them on Etsy, I didn't think anyone would ever buy them, but this week, I've spent the last 5 nights making wreaths, since I've had 6 orders in the last 2 weeks. After everything is said and done, I don't make much money, but I love making them!
Rene', Katie's mom, told me she would give me a free booth at one of our Shows to sell them, but it'll probably take me a full year to make enough to sell at a Show, and then I would have to find someone to work the booth for me. 
I better get started...haha!



Ich habe vor etwa zwei Jahren angefangen Kraenze zu basteln. Für mich selbst, Familie und Freunde. Als Katie mir sagte, dass ich sie auf Etsy verkaufen sollte, dachte ich nicht, dass irgendjemand sie jemals kaufen wuerde, aber diese Woche verbrachte ich jeden Abend damit zu basteln, weil ich in den letzten 2 Wochen 6 Aufträge hatte. Ich verdiene damit wirklich nicht viel Geld, aber ich liebe es, sie zu machen. 
Rene', Katie's Mutter, meinte, dass ich sie auf unserer Home Show verkaufen sollte und sie wuerde mir einen kostenlosen Stand geben, aber es wuerde vermutlich ein ganzes Jahr dauern, um genug zu machen, um sie bei unserer Show zu verkaufen, und dann müsste ich noch jemanden finden, der sie dort fuer mich verkauft!
Ich fang dann mal besser an...haha!

    1. Danke! Unter den meisten ist Styropor, manche sind Stohkraenze. Ich brauche so 3-4 Stunden fuer einen.

    2. Wirklich super, würde sofort einen nehmen. Ich denke auch andere würden einen angemessenen Preis zahlen und mit einem Hobby Geld verdienen...besser kann es doch gar nicht laufen. Individuelle Kränze fertigt bestimmt nicht jeder an. Ich freu mich für Dich!

      Liebe Grüße

    1. Danke! :) Ich hab mal nachgegeschaut, was es kosten wuerde, einen nach Oesterreich zu verschicken und es war leider ueber $20, von daher wuerde sich das fuer dich vermutlich nicht lohnen! Ich geb dir aber gerne eine Anleitung, um selbst einen zu basteln.
      Liebe Gruesse, Nadine

  4. WOW! These are awesome Nadine! I've been looking for something to hand on my daughters bedroom door. Have you ever made a little girl themed one? I think it would need to be a bit smaller than the ones pictured above but if you can do anything like that I would be very interested!

    I LOVE the 4th of July wreaths and the Halloween one!

    1. Thank you!
      I'd love to make one for Gracie! I can certainly make them smaller too. I've never made a girl themed one, but I'm totally up to make you a custom order. Email me your ideas or materials you like (there is a link to my email address on the top of the blog) and I have some ideas as well, that I can email you, once I get your email! :)

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.
