So anyone that knows me well knows good and well that I hated being pregnant with Trenton but was overjoyed when he was born. When we got pregnant with Jack I had the exact opposite reaction, I loved every minute of my pregnancy morning sickness and all. I also was extremely overjoyed when he was born and was super proud of myself for bringing him into this work without the help of pain meds.
After Jack was born I didnt feel complete so we talked about a third, well we really started talking about more the last few weeks like I said in a previous post well I decided after buying my new jeans that I was going to be selfish and keep my jeans and not trade them for maturity clothes this time. I needed something that would feel my time and my mind besides my normal everyday things. So that is how Addi Lyn Creations was born. For those who don't know, if Jack were a girl he would be Addison Lindsay so that is where the name came from. This project is my kid replacer and that is why I'm making fun craft stuff.
Background on the idea.............I made a crayon roll up and a doodle book for one of Trenton's friends as a birthday gift and then I made one for Trenton for Christmas. I was thinking about selling these when a friend, Lacey Holland, asked if I could make her two for her neices for Christmas. I jumped at the idea and just over a week later I have 5 orders and tons of fabric. I will make Crayon Roll Up sets, Marker Roll Up Sets, Colored Pencil Roll Up Sets, matching bags, toy car roll ups, and pillowcase dresses. So I created an Etsy.com account and added the Crayon Roll Up today. I will add pictures as I make more product. I'm so excited about the new venture, it will keep my brain focused and my fingers busy. Etsy.com/shop/addilyncreations
