I think this is my favorite picture of all time. I plan to get it printed and framed. I am so thankful for this precious little guy. His personality is every bit as sweet as his smile.</div>

I probably love it too much. But it makes me feel more peaceful when all the things are in their proper places. I put that trendy robin's egg blue <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30216536/" target="_blank">Ikea utility cart </a>on my registry and some friends were sweet enough to purchase it for me! I originally planned to use it in Joshua's bedroom, but space is already tight in there and I instantly realized that I could use it to corral all the baby stuff that was floating around the mid level of our town-home. I like living in a town-home for many reasons, it challenges me to not have too much stuff, to use my space well, and the stair climbing is good for my rear end. At least that's what I tell myself. However, there are some things that I really need to have on the main level of our home at all times and can't possibly run upstairs to grab every time I need them- books for impromptu reading sessions (my current favorite is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/McElligots-Pool-Classic-Seuss-Dr/dp/0394800834/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1431540936&sr=1-1&keywords=dr+seuss+mcelligots+pool" target="_blank">McElliott's Pool by Dr. Suess</a>, and Joshua is loving<a href="http://www.ezra-jack-keats.org/the-snowy-day/" target="_blank"> The Snowy Day</a> by <a href="http://www.ezra-jack-keats.org/introduction/a-biography/" target="_blank">Ezra Jack Keats</a>), a blanket, Joshua's little summer jacket with the bear eared hood, my baby wearing wraps, and a few favorite toys. The cart has wheels so it's super nice to have right next to the couch, I can just pull it over and grab whatever I need. I was able to fit all the little baby stuff that had been occupying my entire kitchen table onto it with ease and I think it looks nice to boot.<br />
<br />
On a side note, the life and work of Ezra Jack Keats is worth reading about. One of the many aspects of The Snowy Day that I love dearly is that little Peter is living and thriving in an urban setting. Such a simple book with beautiful illustration and profound messages.<br />

Well, it's been a long time since I've blogged anything. Life has moved on, changed, etc. Most notably, my husband and I have adopted our first child, Joshua Calvin. He is such a sweet little guy and we love him dearly! He's come along after so many prayers. One of the things I love about adoption is seeing how incredibly the Lord works to bring a family together. So many tiny, intricate details went into our story, I'm always amazed and very humbled. We were thankful to meet our handsome little man only a few hours after his birth, and we have had a wonderful, encouraging experience with his birth mommy and her sweet family. They have been so loving and supportive toward us and we look forward to years of friendship with them.</div>

I don't have lots of time because the 'lil guy needs lots of attention right now, so consider this a brief introduction to Joshua. Literally, I'm typing with one hand right now as he's asleep on the other half of me. (Then he woke up- right now is now is a day later and he's snoozing)</div>

Joshua was pretty unhappy at the start of the shoot. It was naptime. But we managed to nab a few good ones before we needed the pacifier and snuggles. </div>

<br />
It's been a whirlwind getting ready for the Indie Craft Experience, which is now just two weeks away. Two weeks, people. Who's excited? (me, me!) Be sure to come out and see me and my fellow vendors at Ambient Plus Studio June 28 & 29, from 11-6 each day. You can get directions and info <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. And from the flyer below. Don't you love the yellow cheer?<br />

Since it's been a little hectic getting ready for this event, I've taken a few minutes to take a break and check out some of my fellow vendors, and let me tell you, this is going to be an AMAZING event! So much talent and fun packed into a beautiful loft, you surely won't want to miss out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can see the entire vendor list <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/summer-ice-2014-vendors/" target="_blank">here</a> yourself. <a href="http://atlanta.kingofpops.net/" target="_blank">King of Pops</a> is going to be there, and I've never had a bad King of Pop experience... no.... quite the opposite. Fresh, vibrant, fruity yumminess awaits you as you browse isles of handmade loveliness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, as I said, I took some time to go through the vendors and I'm now attempting to narrow down my shopping list. (yes- even though I'll be there as a vendor- I still become super excited about what I'll want to buy for myself) I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is at the very top of my list- it's such a fun idea, and my notebooks and writing space are terribly important to me, so why not welcome one more to my world. The vendor is<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/roundaboutshop" target="_blank"> Roundabout Shop</a>. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As you may have seen through the rest of my social media, my world has been taken over by ICE- the <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/" target="_blank">Indie Craft Experience</a>! I am so excited to again be part of their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IndieCraftExperience" target="_blank">Pop-Up Shop</a>, and for the first time ever to be part of the <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/summer-ice-2014-vendors/" target="_blank">Summer ICE Craft Market</a> event!!! But seriously, I now have no free time... yipes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My 'lil brain has been flooded with plans for inventory, swag, display, and set up details. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">An outline of my thoughts:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Inventory~ need roughly double my current stock. Oh. my. goodness!! (so excited!!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Swag~ 250 bags to the first ICE atendees each day = 500 (500 needed pieces of swag from me!!), oh wait- plus the 150 for the Pop-Up Shop swag = yikes. Especially considering that up 'till this point, I have always handmade my business cards. I like having that personal touch. However, I had to decide between making business cards and making inventory- inventory wins! I found a gal who has designed and is printing adorably cute business cards for me. I like them so much it made me feel better about not making all of them myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Display~ will be AMAzing! Keeping the details secret for now. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yesterday was the first day in quite a while that I had nothing on the calendar. Knowing I wasn't going to need to leave the house, other than to walk the dog, I got up early, wore no makeup, barely got dressed, and simply tacked back my short hair morning bedhead with a big stretchy band. Beauty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I started the day, I took a few snapshots around my workspace. You'll be able to find these items at the ICE Summer Craft Market, June 28 & 29!</span><br />

<br />
I'm excited to present a necklace that I've dubbed the 'Droplet and Bar Necklace'. It's actually a design that I made probably over a year ago. I loved it so much that I decided to keep it for myself. (yes- that happens sometimes. job perk...) At first I thought that other people might not love it the way I did, because it's rather unusual and the gold bars shift in shape while you wear it. Something that I absolutely enjoy. One minute it's laying out like a clover and I feel like queen, the next the bars have flipped around and I feel all interesting and mysterious, like my necklace is an enigma. Anywho- I figured who was I to decide what people might and might not like? If I love wearing it so much, why not put it out there for others to have too??<br />

I decided to go big and offer two colors. My original is a deep burnt orange. I struggled to find the same shade in the correct pear shape, but finally succeeded with these orange agate beads. While I was searching for the orange, I came across a pink aventurine- same shape and size, and I thought how pretty the pink and gold would be! So here we have it. A brand new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/188375658/droplet-and-bar-silk-necklace" target="_blank">Etsy listing</a> as of today, offered in pink and orange! So you can pick your favorite... or.... you can choose to love them both!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also thought you might like a peek at my process of putting them together, so I've taken advantage of this gorgeous Georgia day, opened my windows to a perfect breeze, enjoyed the sun streaming in, and taken some time to snap some pictures along the way!<br />

I've had time to cook warm indulging meals, and even do some baking. I wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies, but I realized that the chocolate chips I had in my fridge were probably two years old, so even after some reassuring evidence from Google that they were probably fine, I decided to chop up a <a href="http://www.lindtusa.com/" target="_blank">Lindt</a> chocolate bar and use bits of that instead. I wasn't sorry, they were delicious.<br />
<br />
I've also been able to make the updates to <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">A Cranberry Day on Etsy</a>! I'm not going to lie, finally after opening my shop more than two years ago, I'm really happy with the way it looks. I've simplified, reorganized, re-styled, and had a great time taking pictures with my friends. I tried to step back and find the things that I loved most about my designs, and refine it.<br />
<br />
So, here it is, the big re-vamp & re-launch! <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">Go to my shop</a> to see it all, but here are some highlights for your viewing pleasure.<br />

Hello Friends,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The re-vamp for <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">A Cranberry Day on Etsy</a> is right around the corner! I'm working as fast as my little fingers can go to get the new listings ready, and I'm anticipating being done by next weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(hope hope)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I like to share some of the excitement of anticipation, so here are a few shots with some brand new designs from my most recent photo shoot with my lovely friends~ Bria Washington of <a href="http://www.redefinemenow.com/" target="_blank">(re)define</a>; Cortney of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/mammaink" target="_blank">Mamma Ink</a>, Andrea of <a href="http://theyellowcottage.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">The Yellow Cottage</a>.

I'll be back in touch soon, with the big announcement of re-vamp launch. I wish I could give you an exact date, but let's be frank- that would stress me out way too much. So I'll leave you dangling over the great sea of anticipation.</div>

Well this is fun to say! I'm so excited to share this with you. I just can't wait. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Should I tell you now?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Alright then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A Cranberry Day has had a wonderful and exciting 2013, and I'm thankful for each of you who have made it all possible! A very big thank you, to each of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting early in 2014, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">A Cranberry Day on Etsy</a> will experience a Re-Vamping. I'll be retiring many of my old designs, and moving into new ones (lovely new ones, if I can say so myself).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My inspiration for this newness now beginning is largely stemming from these things:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gemstones (of course)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
geometric shapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
moss</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
nature</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also another big announcement, I will be opening a second Etsy shop called Misfit Beads for some of my... 'misfit' beads. My goal in doing this is to clean up my cluttered workspace by moving out beads I'm not using, and to give beading types the opportunity to buy small quantities of beads at very reasonable prices.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Often if you just need a few beads, they're very expensive as compared to buying large quantities, so I'd like to offload some excess bead inventory and at the same time, give others a chance to purchase small quantities of items at an affordable cost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a sneak peek of my new shop banner:</div>

I absolutely love this time of year. Christmas lights, gifts, Salvation Army people ringing bells, general Christmas cheer. But mostly- as Charlie Brown <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059026/quotes" target="_blank">discovers</a> with his good friend Linus, the true meaning of Christmas. Some (free!) recommended advent reading can be found<a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/resource-library/books/good-news-of-great-joy" target="_blank"> here</a>. I so enjoy reading Piper, his love for the Lord is so true and profound, it's like it can't stay inside of him even if he wanted it to (which he wouldn't), it just seeps out in unmistakable joy and delight in telling others about our beloved Saviour. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Part of preparing for Christmas is getting ready for giving gifts, which I think is a lovely way of reminding one another of the greatest gift given to us in Christ. Not that our gifts can have a shadow of comparison with the gift of Jesus and the ability to be made into new creations in him, but that in love and goodwill towards one another we try to reflect God's love by giving to one another. So with that in mind, here are some goodies that I've had my eye on this year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's something I always try to have around for Christmas. Dark chocolate infused with orange is delectable. Thanks <a href="http://www.traderjoes.com/" target="_blank">Trader Joe's</a>!</span><br />

<br />
Happy November! I can't believe how fast this year is coming to a close. I think it's time to share a sneak peek of new items about to debut at our Handmades sale, and hit my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">Etsy store</a> shelves. You'll also be glimpsing my very new 2013 Holiday Collection. Who doesn't need a little extra sparkle for the season?? To give away to dear friends (or selfishly keep for yourself).<br />

In a good way. Being busy with my 'lil business is a happy thing for me. Shortly after starting at <a href="http://www.5continents.us/" target="_blank">5 Continents</a>, I got word that the <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/" target="_blank">Indie Craft Experience</a> had selected my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/162886242/long-lapis-geometric-necklace" target="_blank">Lapis Geometric Necklace</a> to be part of their holiday <a href="http://www.ice-atlanta.com/pop-up-shop/" target="_blank">Pop Up Shop</a>! I was super excited- and at the same time realized I had some supplies to source asap- considering I had about 15 days to turn in my inventory. I quickly contacted one of my favorite suppliers and hit up the Atlanta wholesale building. Before long I had all I needed to begin.<br />

Even though this project is now behind me, I'm still feeling behind- the holidays are coming and I'm getting ready for the Handmades Sale event that 17 of my friends and I will be putting on at the end of November, and I'm sprucing up my Etsy shop for the holidays. Here's a shot of some fun beauties I picked up today, they'll be part of a new collection, a holiday collection, coming very soon!!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There has been quite a lot going on since my last post- we sold our home, and moved to a new one, and A Cranberry Day jewelry is experiencing excitement on the rise!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I'm happy to say, just in time for starting to think about holiday shopping, my items can now be found in Buckhead Village of downtown Atlanta! As of last week, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday" target="_blank">A Cranberry Day</a> items are being sold at a darling boutique called <a href="http://www.5continents.us/" target="_blank">5 Continents</a>. The name is appropriate, the boutique has many artists representing different countries from all over the world. They are a fair trade business, so you can rest assured that your purchases are directly helping the artist represented. The owner, Jennifer, is so kind and loves her business- you'll feel at home right away. </span><br />

<br />
I'm excited to announce the launch of some new necklace designs! I've had a great time lately working with silk knotting, and some very fun and different bead stringing collaborations. It all started when I made these two necklaces for myself, which I've loved to pieces. (well not really, they're still in one happy piece) But they've become my top picks from my own jewelry collection- and so served as inspiration for creating things for you!<br />
<br />
This is my Howlite and Czech Glass knotted necklace. It's a long one, sorry I don't have a picture with me wearing it yet...<br />

Since these necklaces are new designs, I've created two new shop sections for them. You can find all of the necklaces shown under <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday?section_id=12865641" target="_blank">'The Knotted Necklaces' </a>and<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/acranberryday?section_id=13148189" target="_blank"> 'Beaded Bliss'</a>. I'd love to hear what you think of them!<br />

I hope that you have enjoyed the holidays, and had a pleasant start to a fresh new year. I have several people to thank for some great gifts for my new home, so I thought I would do so with this post, and also use the opportunity to share some updated home pictures. The house still has a long way to go- I feel that more some days than others, but it has truly come a long way, and now I feel more that I just have projects to work on rather than urgent musts in order to function properly.<br />
<br />
To begin- thanks to my friend Christi for a handmade jewelry pegboard to help with my workspace! I love it, what a thoughtful gift!<br />

I have this one hanging in my cube at work. I love the contrast of the straight and soft lines against the trees, and the coloring. As well as the sunshine breaking through the clouds again.<br />

I'm so happy with how they came out. I felt like this was a way to catch a glimpse of our life after our first year of marriage. I like knowing that I'll have anniversary pictures to look back at one day. Maybe I should consider making this a yearly event.<br />

<br />
A Cranberry Day has some exciting news to share. <a href="http://www.bobbijobrooks.com/index2.php#/home/" target="_blank">Bobbi Jo Brooks</a>, a good friend and fantastic photographer, will be featuring some of my work at her studio at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheGoatFarmArtsCenter" target="_blank">The </a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2600032751113723964" target="_blank">Goat Farm</a>! So if anyone has a session coming up with Bobbi Jo, you might get to see a few of my pieces on sale! <br />
Did you know that some of the second<a href="http://www.thehob.org/2012/10/photo-catching-fire-filming-at-the-goat-farm-today.html" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2600032751113723964" target="_blank">Hunger Games</a> movie scenes, 'Catching Fire' were being shot at the Goat Farm? How fun. I love living around Atlanta. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots of my prep work. My workspace in the new house is far from finished- it's just getting started. But with a few things coming up in October and November (more fun news to come soon) I've had to dive in anyway.<br />

I wanted to have a photo session for Chris' and my one year anniversary this past January. So Bobbi Jo willingly walked all over <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/tanyard-creek-park-atlanta" target="_blank">Tanyard Creek Park </a>with us, on a slightly overcast and rainy day. I love how our photos came out. I'll heighten the suspense and post them for you tomorrow.Christiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11995862095827550607noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600032751113723964.post-19590510762576824372012-09-27T11:42:00.000-07:002012-09-27T11:42:43.326-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Their wedding was a fun event for everyone, it was so neat to see how happy they are together.<br />
<br />
Jamie gave me the privilege of designing with her, and then making her the wedding day necklace. I absolutely love how it came out, and she of course wore it beautifully! The waterfall pendant has a gentle sparkly luster about it. <br />

<br />
It's been so long, I've missed you! I feel badly that I haven't kept up with my blog over the move- but I had to set it aside and focus on getting settled and keeping my head above water while working full time on top of all the rest of it. Don't worry though, I've been taking pictures and have lots to share!<br />
<br />
We have a bathtub! Which I finally made time to enjoy the other night. I am inspired to get this illustration by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/jamieshelman?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">The Dancing Cat</a> to hang near the tub, so I don't forget to take advantage of having it-<br />

I think it's perfect. I think I'll get it. I'm ordering it now.<br />
<br />
I've also been more short tempered lately due to my over-active nature to fix it all and fix it all now so we can have a nice and peaceful home, but realizing it's just outside my ability to do so. (beer please) I've had to apologize more lately for being nit picky toward Chris. Poor hubby, I hate it when I do that. I just bought these from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/JethroAndHenrietta?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">Jethro And Henrietta</a> to go over his sink in the bathroom.<br />

<br />
The house still is far from finished, I've had to wrap my head around the idea that this is quite a long term commitment- it's not like when we moved into our apartment and I had it straight and fully functional in no time! Oh no.... this is something on a totally different scale, as those of you who are home owners know. I dislike spending money on things that aren't fun to spend money on. What- there is a what and a what something living in our attic!!?? Do you know how expensive it is get critters out of your attic!? You've got to be kidding me. But I quickly came to grips with the reality that I was grateful it was someone else having to crawl around up there and get all the holes sealed up and everything cleaned up and back in order- worth every dime. I'm still afraid to go up there. We had squirrels and (gasp) roof rats. Ick and ick.<br />
Chris was sweet when he told me what we had living up there- he said- 'we have squirrels'.<br />
I said 'yea, and what else?'.<br />
'That's it.' <br />
'I don't believe it. What else is up there making all that racket?'<br />
'Um....'<br />
'What is it!!??'<br />
'Roof rats'<br />
'What the ---- is the difference between a roof rat and a regular rat?'<br />
'They're smaller'<br />
'Sure they are'<br />
<br />
Thankfully- (thankfully) they had never made it as far as getting beyond the attic. So I at least felt that they were contained. What a horrible experience guys. Don't have roof rats. <br />

We're right in the middle of moving. I'm not fond of moving, not at all. The good thing about this move is that hopefully, unless the Lord has something different, we won't be moving again for quite sometime. It's a strange feeling to be making somewhat of a permanent move, being that it's the first one I've ever experienced. It's a good feeling though, and going through it with my husband makes all the positive difference in the world. As we were in the middle of finding ourselves in twisted, contorted, and occasionally upside down positions as we pulled apart and primed our new kitchen cabinets for the layer of paint still yet to come (you should try this sometime), it suddenly hit me that this craziness is an investment in our home! Which makes it so worth the effort, and keeps it all in good fun.<br />
<br />
My bird however, doesn't realize that all this upheaval is for a good cause. He is a very high strung birdie, and he tends to get upset whenever his perceivable little world is thrown off. He even refused to sing when I played the <a href="http://www.thebeachboys.com/" target="_blank">Beach Boys</a> for him this morning on <a href="http://www.pandora.com/" target="_blank">Pandora</a>, he loves the Beach Boys and usually attempts to harmonize. He's trying to communicate to us his fright and maybe disgust at our attempt to 'change everything, just because you feel like it'. (yes, I did just quote my non-verbal bird) Ah well, I keep telling him that he's going to love his new room- it has four big windows along with a windowed door, and there are lots of birds who live outside that he'll enjoy squawking with. But until he sees it for himself, I don't think I have him convinced.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid I don't have a very clear picture of him to share, but here is a shot that <a href="http://jobrienphoto.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jonathan O'Brian</a> took on our wedding day, he hung my earrings on the cage and you can see birdie in the background. He's all white with just a tiny spot of blue on his tummy, and another on his back. It looks like someone smudged him with blue finger paints. Like my earrings?<br />

I don't seem to have much to say today. But I thought I'd share these with you anyway. The window above is my favorite, the photograph was taken in Hawaii. Hawaii.. the land of soft air brushed with the scent orchids and <a href="http://gohawaii.about.com/od/hawaiianflowersandtrees/ig/plumeria_photos/plumeria_006.htm" target="_blank">plumeria</a>, of windows always open with fresh breezes blowing, of water so blue and clean you're not sure you're still alive on earth, and very best of all, calm and relaxed people.<br />
