Shop Update

Hey, y'all!

I know it's been a while, but I've been super busy lately. Between running around after Bear and trying to stay relaxed with Jasper, I completely space on updating the blog.

BUT!

I just wanted to pop in and say that I've been crocheting like a madwoman. I've re-opened the shop, made some changes, and have started adding new items!

Shell stitch beanie, found [here]

I've also been working on some new patterns, and they are turning out awesome!

Granny stripe "Zebra" beanie.

Earflap beanie. I made this one for Baby Jasper.

After a bit of tweaking and some mass production (or at least having more than one color combo to show), I'll be adding these to the shop inventory, as well.

I'll be back soon, hopefully with more items in the shop.

Feel free to check it out in the meantime, though, by clicking this [link] or going to "The [Shoppe]" tab at the top of the blog.

Have an awesome day!

{lovey dovey} Review

So on Saturday, as I opened up my mailbox (stupid key, took me almost five minutes), I was so excited to see a package.

This is what I got:

The Uncle Sam bib necklace. My new bloggy BFF Lacey at {lovey dovey} made it. It’s so cute.

It’s the perfect size for a statement necklace, and the adjustable ribbon tie is great for when I want to wear it up near my neck or low like shown above.

And the navy and white buttons? Yeah. Super cute. :]

I know for sure that I’m wearing this on 4th of July, and maybe quite a few more times in between now and then.

Make sure you go check out Lacey’s Etsy shop. She has seriously so many cute things.

Even Harry Potter headbands.

Yes. :]

Ciao!

Gushing, Sponsoring and Tweeting…

Okay, first order of business:

Yes. I have found a new awesome fabulous person to stalk.

Lacey over at lovey dovey handmade is totally fabulous. She makes some of the cutest stuff I have seen lately.

Like this…

And this…

And my personal favorite…

See? Cute. I wouldn’t lie to you. :] Go check her out.

Next item of business:

I am sponsoring a giveaway over at Elise's Pieces for Miss Elise’s totally fawesome birthday bash giveaway extravaganza. Y’all should go enter…because Miss Elise is simply…well…fawesome.

Final item of business:

I’m going to try the Twitter again. (Yep. THE TWITTER!) So, as I’m getting the hang of things, you will all just have to bear with me. Bare? Bear? Shrug.

Also, should I attempt the linky party again? Only one point seven five people linked up last time… Yes or no? Comment, people, comment!

Well, as it’s after midnight here, I’m off to bed.

Ciao for now!

Some News About The Shop

Hey, all.

As of June 3, The Semper Gumby Shoppe will be on a temporary vacation while some renovations take place. Hurry and get what you want, because chances are, it won't be here when I come back. I will take custom orders, though, so feel free to email me at sempergumbyshoppe[at]live[dot]com.

Semper gumby, semper fidelis.

Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day!!

Trust me, now that I’m actually experiencing how hard this all is, this is a nice thing to see.

If any of you know a military spouse, please, go up and give them a hug and tell THEM “thank you for all that you do.”

In other news…

I’m working on stuff for the shop. And when all my stuff FINALLY gets here from South Carolina, I will be back in business. Literally.

This post is going to be short for a few reasons: I’m not too sure how long this “free” internet is going to last before it decides to die again, and I’m dead tired.

Ciao for now!

Hey, Y’all!

Just wanted to let everyone know: I’m sponsering a giveaway over at Vintage Wanna Bee.

There is a chance for 3 different people to win…so…ya know. Go check it out!!

And in other news: I plan on starting bi-weekly updates within the next two weeks.

Due to an itty bitty little glitch during moving, I have had to put pretty much EVERYTHING on hold. So, if you buy certain things from the shop, I won’t be able to send them out until all our stuff gets to California from the good ol’ LowCountry. But I am working on some stuff to be able to send out soon…

Plus…

I have an awesome item going up in my shop in the next few days…Want a hint?

Here's the hint.

Ciao for now!

Valentined!

Okay, I know this is WAY late, but I just wanted to share with y’all what I did for Valentine’s Day.

     

Yup. I took a bunch of pictures of Little Bear and went shopping.

When I got home, I checked the mail. Wanna know what I got? Oh well, I’m gonna show you anyway. :]

Yeah, it’s from Miss Bee. She said I was her BFF. True story (be jealous).

The next morning, as I was bringing Little Bear downstairs to eat, I saw a GINORMOUS box on our front porch. I opened the door, brought it in and opened it.

A 4-foot teddy bear from my Marine. I named him Dean.

So, let’s recap. This is the first Valentine’s Day that hasn’t completely sucked, for a number of reasons (which I’m going to share):

• I actually have someone to be my Valentine (even if he is 3,000 miles away).
• I got a giant teddy bear.
• I was not vomiting (last Valentine’s Day, I was down with morning sickness).
• I got a Valentine’s Day card in the mail.

How was your Valentine’s Day?

Ciao for now!
