GRAND OPENING at HeatherMadeDesigns.com

I have a big announcement to make today!

HandmadeByMe4U has officially changed names to HeatherMade Designs, LLC.  In addition, the shop has moved from Etsy.com to its own website at HeatherMadeDesigns.com!  You will find that the new website is colorful, attractive, and much easier to navigate and browse.  You'll find the same great products in the shop as before, plus I've got plans to release plenty of new designs in the future.

Here's a screenshot of the new website!

The new website includes its own blog page, so this blog is going to be discontinued.  If you wish to continue receiving updates regarding upcoming giveaways and announcements regarding the latest new products, please visit the new blog page by clicking here and then enter your email address in the subscribe box on the right-hand side of the page.  It will only take a moment to get signed up.

We have a new facebook page too, because of the name page.  Some new customer appreciation photos were recently added, which you won't want to miss.  Click here to like the new facebook page.

So what are you waiting for?  Click here to check out the brand new website and check out how my hand-crocheted hats look in their new surroundings. :)

Hats for the Boys

This week I was able to finally finish hats for my boys. Thankfully it was before we got any snow here in Michigan.

Now we are ready for the cold winter ahead!!!

Back from Vacation

Last week we spent our family vacation at a cottage with family! We all had a lot of fun, and it was very relaxing. My whole family was there at one time or another, even my sister and her husband who live out of state. The weather was perfect for being on the lake, nice and hot. We could not have asked for a better week!

My Grandpa brought out sweet corn from his garden, which Thing 1 and Thing 2 LOVED:

My hubby did lots of fishing, which we fried up and ate - so YUMMY!

The whole family enjoyed some intense volleyball:

The spectators:

And of course lots of fun on the beach:

Well we had a great time, but glad to be back home sleeping in my own bed :)

What fun things have you done this summer?
