This has been my dilemma for the past week as I had been ferociously preparing for my upcoming photo shoot.(which went swimmingly I might add.) With my business growing at a steady pace I finally decided it was time to revamp my website with some professional photos. ( Not that I havn"t done a spectacular job with my super cool iPhone photos. Ha ha.) Anyhow I owe a giant debt of gratitude to my friends for making this dream a reality. <br />
Let me just start by saying that photo shoots are not as easy as I imagined they would be. The finished products are beautiful works of art that show a world of glamor. But let me assure you the behind the scenes was a slightly different story. With hair and makeup, destination locations and wardrobe changes the day turned out to be a lot of work; and let me just say I adored every second of it!!<br />
<br />
We began our little adventure at Intrigue Design Salon where beauty masterminds Noel, Kim and Richanne worked their stoke of genius with hair and makeup.<br />

Then off to our first location at Mauka Meadows. A extraordinary botanical garden located in Holualoa. If you live in the Kona area or ever plan to visit, you should put this on you top priorities list!!<br />

We did the shoot in the mountains above Kona called Kaloko... A magical place, I swear it could be 92' in town and a 15 minute drive up the mountain and its a crisp 65'. Large beautiful Ohia trees are wherever you look, Horses running, its Awesome!<br />

Be that as it may I will do my best to check in with you all as often as possible. So to recap on the past few months I thought best to do so in photos over the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
December was a wonderful month. I never knew how crazy holiday shoppers could be. That being said I'm oh so glad they were shopping at my booth. Next year I plan to be ready for the holiday craft show hype.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned before I moonlight as a waitress when I'm not knee deep in fabric scraps. This December my boss was nice enough to let me host a small event on the dance floor of our restaurant. I am thrilled to say it was a great success. Everyones booth was so festive I cant wait to turn it in to an annual affair.<br />

Well certainly not my bosses girlfriend. When I'm not creating goodies for Handmade Life Hawaii, I'm a waitress and a bartender in the service industry. A few evenings a week I work at a little pizzeria called Bianellis, Owned by a good friend and Italian food genius George Goldstien. The other night Georges girlfriend told me his birthday was around the corner and she new just what to get him. A Bib! After I stopped laughing I realized she was serious. I guess she was tired of trying to get marinara out of his whites. Anyhow, Since it was his birthday I wanted to make it a little special. She told me his favorite color was blue and she wanted his name on it. So this is what I came up with. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcz02pV6m8dmGLqb1InldWiOS5NlW9DDbqDeHR6X-Or5wfrBWeyZQ14-5kloGGlgcHU1TyDecSzuiODoEoGngyTg0R7S7FkuqF8VSdHzh4JMqYnK3ZbVc9BZC98ZN0NI4vPpIqqX5l9p1C/s1600/george+bib+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcz02pV6m8dmGLqb1InldWiOS5NlW9DDbqDeHR6X-Or5wfrBWeyZQ14-5kloGGlgcHU1TyDecSzuiODoEoGngyTg0R7S7FkuqF8VSdHzh4JMqYnK3ZbVc9BZC98ZN0NI4vPpIqqX5l9p1C/s640/george+bib+009.jpg" width="516" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> My home is just riddled with plastic shopping bags so every now and then I recycled them by fusing a bunch together. I thought this would be the perfect project to do so since it would make the bib easier to clean.

Like every word you say falls on def ears? Lately I've felt like all my efforts to start this small business have been hitting that proverbial brick wall. And then there was "The Breakthrough". I don't know exactly when it happened per say but I came to a point this week where I made a conscious decision to change my attitude for the better. Once I did that I began to notice thing just started to go my way. I began to finish projects that were LONG overdue. Made a few unexpected sales, (Smile) and even began to sketch a few new bag designs.for some upcoming shows. I thank god for giving me the gift of creativity. I pray I can catch myself when I begin to get discouraged and remember that nothing worth while happens over night. This being said here's a bit of what I've been up to the past couple weeks.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Another end to a crazy week in Paradise. With my two day jobs running me ragged there's nothing like a little R & R to recharge my batteries. And what better way to relax than to kick back and drool over some eye candy. </div>But I bet I'm not the only one who feels this way, so I figured I would share some goodies with all of you. <br />
It never ceases to amaze me how many people there are who care as much about mother earth as I do. Just feast you eyes on the beauty of sustainable living...<br />
