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! :)

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

We took some family pictures this fall!

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
