October 1st!

It's no secret that I LOVE October! Halloween and Fall are my favorites and so this time of the year always makes me extremely happy :) 

I'm trying to think of a REALLY good giveaway, but when I do them lately they don't get much attention, and that's no fun. 

SO! If anyone can think of one, let me know! Share my Facebook page as well so your friends can get in on the fun! 

Hey everyone it's been a while!

I've got a new hat I wanted to share with you! It's called the "Jorjia Slouch" and yes, I named it after my little girl :)

Here are some pics of it. Hopefully I can get some pics of Jo in her namesake hat but its been SO HOT out that I don't want to torture her.


Enjoy! Check out the updated website as well on www.mommyslittlemonstersgifts.com!

End of the year thoughts!

2012 is coming to a close and I want to share what 2013 has to offer!

I've had fun! This year was a real learning experience. I learned what worked, what didn't and what I want to accomplish for the new year!

I have a 4 page list of hats I need to get done for the new year! The first thing I am working on is VALENTINES DAY!!

~Monkey Love- Sock monkeys with a v-day theme
~Love bug- Little lady bug hats (with hearts)
~Whoooooo Loves You!?- V-day owl hats

This should be fun! Then onto Pattys Day, Easter, and then working more on face painting because that's when the "painting season" begins! YES!!!!!

I will be keeping a stock of certain hats for quick sale and for the craft fairs. Last year I was just making random stuff, and at the end of the year I was left with them. I had the auction, and they are thankfully all in new homes, but I want to avoid this next year. I will make a list of them in another blog post for quick access for you all.

As always PLEASE let me know if you have ideas or questions or anything! I really love when customers and readers let me know when there are opportunities for me to be a vendor at fairs and other places, so please if you hear of something going on, let me know!


I hope you all had a WONDERFUL holiday, whatever you celebrate :) 

Goodbye 2012! HELLO 2013!!

What is my resolution? The normal: Lose weight blah blah. I actually DID this one last year, 60 lbs, so I don't feel like such an ass when I say that's one of my resolutions. I'm hoping for at least 30 more this year, so as long as I get that done if I lose more its just a happy extra :) This means working out more, and actually taking the time for myself and not being so worried that I have to do everything perfectly. The dishes can wait, the floors don't HAVE to be vacuumed RIGHT NOW, get your happy ass outside and go for a walk.

Another is to not care what others think about me so much. I'm me and if others don't like it, they don't have to. As long as I like me, and I'm a good wife and mother, the rest doesn't matter.

I want to make sure my kids know that hard work is rewarded, and slacking is not. I want to teach DP the best I can, and make sure that when he does get back into public schools, he has a heads up above the rest. I want to get Jo into gymnastics or dance, shes so dainty and she would love it. I want to continue to be the most supportive wife I can be to B, and continue to focus on some "us" time, and to make more memorable times together.

Lastly, I want to get better at my work. I'm decent at it now, and pretty fast, but I want to expand to different things.Maybe make a sweater, some booties, or more blankets! This year I want to jump on getting the vendor spaces and jobs so that I can actually feel like I am contributing to our income :) That would make me very happy.

This is long, but not unattainable. All of this can be done, and will be in 2013
