MakingMotherhoodFun: What's New at A Little Bit Craftsie?

When I'm feeling hungry I make food, but when I'm feeling creative I make hair clips and jewelry. I thought I would share with you my latest creations some of which I sell at my Madeit store. I have been making and selling hair clips for almost 2.5 years now, but I have always been creative in one way or another. I used to make and sell jewelry when I only had 3 kiddies and little more drive for that kind of thing. I haven't made a lot of jewelry for others or to sell for a while, I do make something if I need to complete an outfit or I can't find anything else at the shop or online. Sometimes I make it myself because it costs far too much in the stores, and I know I can make it cheaper. Lately though, my creative mind has been bugging me to actually get back into creating for others and to sell, but this time round, I decided to target a different market. My daughter is 11 and will be 12 before I can blink twice, and I was thinking about the kinds of things she likes. She loves DIVA and LOVISA, like most girls her age, and I don't mind some things they sell. However, the items they sell while in fashion, aren't particularly unique. They are production line, mass produced items. So I thought I would tackle this head on and start by making some bracelets, which I am hoping will be well loved by other tweens. My daughter has given me the thumbs up, which I am very happy about, because like most other 11 year olds, she can be hard to please. Here are a couple of my bracelets.
