Happy First Day of Summer!


Being based in sunny Florida, especially after an unseasonably warm winter, summer seems like it's been hanging around for about a year already.  But I love the official summer season.  Maybe because I'm a July baby, but something just feels so nostalgic about BBQs, fireworks, pools and lazy evenings outdoors at dusk.

I knew I wanted to celebrate the arrival of summertime with a fun version of baby drilles, so I decided to play around with some different colors.  Here's a little sneak peek of what I've been working on:

I'm a sucker for nautical-inspired colors. So Americana!

This day also marks my first official blog post!  A lot of time and love goes into each shoe I make and I love this opportunity to have a platform to share my passion with others.  As I am just a few days away from finally listing baby drilles in my Etsy shop, I find myself bubbling over with a million different emotions. Thoughts like, "What if no one likes them?" and "What if EVERYONE likes them???" to "Am I insane starting a business while trying to care for a 9-month-old baby?" have plagued my mind as the day approaches.  It's a big step, but I have been known to take big leaps of faith in life.

Along with the scripture from Psalm 46:10 ("Be still, and know that I am God") I have a quote written on my whiteboard in my craft room that I read on a friend's facebook page:

"A person is not old until regrets take the place of dreams."

I like the daily reminder that I'm never too old to chase my dreams and that if I just take the time to still my mind, God is there to do His work with me.  I can't wait to share this adventure with you all!

Best Wishes and Happy Summer!
