What I'm working on

Today I have researched so much trying to get the best of the best! I really want to eventually offer a online store where people can create they're own headbands, hats, and clips. Or buy pre-made ones. So in order to do so i need to order things in multiple colors etc. I found my favorite flower today, and am having some flowers custom made for me from Turkey :) Its going to take a bit to get them all but I am so excited! There are still lots of items available on my facebook page so please check it out!

Here is a flower that I am getting in 14 colors :) Its about 3.5". 

Pre-Launch Open House

Yesterday was a long awaited event, that seemed to take forever to come. And...now it's gone. I am excited that it's done (as it was a LOT of work) but I was looking forward to it for so long. Friends and family were able to come and see what I have been up too. I am so blessed to have so many people support me. Some of you weren't able to come, so here are some photos of the event before it started. I was planning on taking a few photos of people there but I was way to busy and completely forgot. 

Stay tuned for the actual  LAUNCH coming soon. 

Professional Pictures

So I am blessed to have so many little nieces and nephews who are the most adorable kids! Also cute little Madden who my little girl has a little crush on (she already tried to kiss him). An old friend Alanna Peters who is so talented at photography took some amazing photos of hats, headbands and clips. If you ever need a photographer she is so talented and sweet. Check out her blog here.

With a pre-launch party this sunday at my home, I have been really busy making loads of headbands, hats, and clips. I am excited to show people what I have been up to and get opinions and advice.

Here are just some of the adorable kids we got to have to model for Crystal Clear Boutique. ENJOY!

Email me laura.m.derksen@gmail.com if you are interested in having any of the above items. 

Sparkly Clips

Today I picked up my supplies from Ship Happens in Sumas, WA. So tonight I was eager to get started. Here are few of them. These are all alligator clips that can have "no slip grip" added at no extra cost. These will be $3.00ea and can be added to hats. I will be creating ones with flowers and felt appliques. Snap clips are coming soon. :) What would you like to see on a clip? 

Crazy about Purple!

If you've seen my daughter she's usually in purple. I try and buy everything purple! I'm totally obsessed. Here are a few purple hats and headbands (clips to come) that I really enjoyed creating. What are your thoughts? Would you buy these for your daughter or for a gift? I do have lots of other colors, but I just wanted to share these with you tonight.

Baby Boy Cotton Beanie's

Here is a few baby boy hats that i've made. They look super cute on! They can come in white, black, brown, red and blue for $20.00. These are my first few and I have lots of more ideas for appliques on the hats. What would you like to see on the hat? What colors would be your favorite? I need your help, so please comment and give advice! Thanks!

One busy day!

With a photo shoot coming up on the 17th I need to use everyday to create new pieces. Today I was able to design 5 hats and 15 headbands. The more I get into this the more ideas i get. But I really don't want to get ahead of myself. So I am going to use everything I bought and sell it before I purchase a bunch more (really exciting) supplies. With so many idea's brewing in my head its hard to sleep at night. Do you every wish your brain had an "OFF" switch? For the last couple of weeks that would be really nice! I wanted to show you one of the headbands I made today that fits a baby girl. Its a little over the top, but I love feathers. Let me know what you think. Have any ideas?? Please comment and share them. Also I have started a Facebook page so click "Like" and you'll see lots of pictures soon.
