Today I Made a Treasury and Am IN a Treasury!

That is how this Treasury Came about. Titled "Everything Has Its Place" take a look! Click, comment, and share the Etsy love!





The Treasury above is Artists Upfront by Vicki Diane! This is such a fun idea, featuring the artists behind the art. Please, check it out, click, comment, share the Etsy love! Thank you Vicki!

Rustic Rainbow

Don't you just love that shop name? I met Jennifer on Etsy (of course). I fell in love with this listing and had to have it! I know, I know, I have been cursing my big purse, and then get another big purse. I just hate how the keys somehow sink to the bottom of the bag and you can then never find them. Anyway, Jennifer was up for a trade, so I made her a hat. I love re-purposed items. The tie bag is so colorful. Warm colors are on this side with cool colors on the opposite side. I love trading! It enables me to get what I need or want and gets my creations out there. A kind of advertising in a way. I love creating! Crochet for me is so relaxing and rewarding. As Michael and the boys can tell you, I am often in my own little world crocheting and counting stitches. It is so very surreal to think that someone else is wearing something I made. Wow. Please, check out Jennifer's ecclectic Etsy shop. It mostly contains hemp jewelry and polymer clay pieces. She sent me one of her cute wristlets as well. Share the Etsy love!

Lauren

Lauren HatLet me introduce you to Lauren. Lauren's mom, Lisa, is Quinn's caregiver while I work. Dana and Lisa have done an excellent job raising Lauren, who is three years old. Lauren is imaginative, always pretending. She is sweet and helpful, very protective of Quinn. I can tell that Quinn loves her and loves going to their house. Michael and I are very thankful that Lisa takes the time and effort being very active with Quinn. Pumpkin PatchWhen the weather is nice they often get out of the house to go on walks, to take trips to the park, or to go feed the ducks. We feel truly blessed that they are a part of our life.

When creating this hat, I had Lauren in mind. Not having measurements, I was lucky that the hat was just the right size. I asked Lisa if Lauren could model my hat. For weeks I had the Halloweenhat completed, but couldn't get my act together to get over to their house early before work to take pictures. Finally, Lisa offered to take the pictures herself. I left my camera with her one day when I dropped Quinn off and went to work... Voila! Pictures of Lauren in her hat! Thank you Lisa for the pictures and Lauren for modeling! I hope you enjoy the hat!

This hat is available in our Etsy shop. It is made to order and shipped within 7 days.

Pretty in Pink

It was my favorite movie as a teen, and the name for this hat I just listed on Etsy. Wearing it during the product photo shoot {Michael, photographer/husband} certainly made me feel like a teen again. It is fun, flirty, and fashionable. Made out of cotton yarn that is white with various shades of pink. I don't use a pattern as I crochet. When I start crocheting, I never quite know what the end product will be. I mean, I know it is a hat. But I don't know the size or style until I am about halfway into the project. I crocheted a band around it, and added a gorgeous handmade {by Michael} maple button secured with pink ribbon. Check it out here. Wouldn't it be a perfect Valentine's Day gift?!

The Basics

Michael and Talina Ripper met online and when they met in person, they knew they had found something special, a once in a lifetime love. Michael obtained BFAs in both Wood Design and Ceramics from ECU. Talina has always been a creative/artistic spirit, but has her BSN from ETSU and still works as an RN. Talina has three sons, Seth (17), Aaron (8), and Jacob (7). Michael and Talina have a son together, Quinn, who is 17 months. They are getting settled in their downtown loft just around the corner from Michael's studio and the gallery. Their dream of living their art is coming true!
