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!

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

      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

      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

    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!

      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! :)

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
