Building my Website

Ah, the past few weeks have been so busy for my business! So, because of that, this blog got a little deserted! LOL.

I have been finishing up on my orders, ordering new flowers, ordering my new business cards and postcards to attach the headbands on them, ordering  more shipping material, and of course-working on my new website. Oh, and lets not forget being a wife, mommy, a cook, maid, butler, housecleaner...well, you get the idea! Whew!

That being said, yes, I did order more flowers that I will post on my website as soon as I get my postcards.
I also got other colors of elastic headbands and I'm also so excited to start making flowers with them!

Wana see a little sneak-peak?



A hot pink flower with DAMASK headband! Aaah LOVE IT!

My website has giving me more headaches than I inticipated. There is just sooo much to do! The part that takes the most time is the posting and uploading of all the headbands and wipe cases!


Initially, I wanted to build my own website. I mean I got a free e-book with easy-to-understand tutorials on how to build your site. But, when I realized it took so much time and patience, I found a site that sells web templates and ordered one that I liked. At this point, I would rather spend some money on a good website that will be up and running in a couple of days, than sit behind my computer for 6.5 months trying to build a site.
So I found my template here. I am so in love with damask pattern, and wanted to get a website with that style.

I am still loading all my products to the website. It takes time and patience!

The site is already running and you are able to order from it. But, because its a new site, and basically, I programed and tuned all the necessary things, if you find a problem with something, or cant order, PLEASE let me know! I dont want to order from myself to see if it will go through, so I am counting on my customers!

Stay tuned for new and awsome headbands!

What I've been doing..

I have been pretty busy this past month working on this:




yep, 10  TUBS WIPE CASES , and 13 TRAVEL SIZE WIPE CASES for a retail store. Oh, but the flowers have not been added yet.
Now, I get to use the wipes from them! Any idea what I can do with them before they dry out? I still have tons of my own that I use for my baby..

How the Wipe Case gets Transformed!

Ever wonder how I take this origional, boring white wipe case



and turn it in to this:?



Then, keep on reading!
.....
.....
.....
.....

First, I glue the padding:




Then, I hot glue the pattern pieces:




It ends up looking like this: (Pretty, but not quite) :))




Lastly, I add the beautiful trim to the edges to cover up the "mess":



Looks MUCH better! I also use the lint roller to take out all the little unwanted threads and little pieces of glue.



Lastly, I add the gerber flower!



These cases are so stylish and cute to carry around!
