"Oh Wow!"...Peace Signs and Flowers! Dare to Dream!

As my business, Cranberry Ridge Design, continues to grow, my poor sewing machine is getting a workout. As orders for my designs come pouring in, I find that I must spend more and more time sewing.

Slowly, as time allows, I am adding new products to my line. I have MANY plans for future items but creating them takes time. Building up enough stock to both fill orders and take to craft shows has been a challenge, to say the least. I can barely keep up with orders, but as you might guess, I view that as a "good thing." I take great pride in making my items and strive to make sure my finished items are truly a work of art that my customers will be most pleased with.
In keeping with my promise to share pictures with my readers as often as possible, I want to share with you a picture of another "Oh Wow!" Bag. This bag has the cutest fabric featuring flowers, peace signs and encouraging words and phrases on it. The complimentary colors made for one really adorable bag.

As I posted earlier, besides Tamarack,
my items are now being carried in a few area stores. (See previous post) For those of you who don't live in the area or those who want to order a custom one of a kind bag, you may contact me regarding a custom order made just for you. You can find my contact information in the right hand column of this blog.

Christmas will be here before we know it. Place your orders as soon as possible to be sure your items are ready in time for gift giving. Remember, I make a variety of items. If you don't see what you have in mind, contact me.

Chances are, I just might make the item you are looking for.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

Excitement at Cranberry Ridge!

First, I want to say hello to everyone and thank you to everyone for their support of the beginnings of CRD!

They have be so many changes in my life since I was involved in a car accident in December that I do not know where to begin. Some people may be wondering why I say I was blessed with the car accident. Yes, I have had issues going back to work as an RN but on the other hand the blessings are running over and I feel like I am starting a new chapter in my life.

The first blessing is the other driver and I walked away from the wreck. I was t-boned on the driver's side. I do have a shoulder injury and other problems from the car wreck. I have been able to set back and set my life on a different course.

Then in January 2010 our first grandson decided to come into the world 2 months early. They live in Florida and we live in West Virginia. Being off from work we were able to spend some time with them and best of all we Blake arrived safe and sound! Elizabeth did great also! I was able to be in Florida to complete his nursery set.

Then in February daughter, Debra starting having blood pressure issues and was placed on bed rest. So, of course I was able to play nurse role with her and keep a close eye on her blood pressure. Rylee came in to the world just a few days early and he was healthy and so was mom.

Then in April, my sister Judy had back surgery in Lexington, KY and I was able to stay with her. Also, I had not been able to see my son for about 1 1/2 years so I was able to stay with him and Makenize and the grand dogs. Bret and Makenzie both work at Malone's Steak House on Tates Creek Road. Enjoyed dinner from there a couple times! Bret is now executive chef! Malone's ranks in the top 10 steak houses in the US!

Now we come to May. Whew it has been a long year so far..lol. We traveled to Florida to vacation with Roger's family. Had a great time in Boca Raton! Grand daughter Shealeigh had her first airplane ride. We had a great trip going to Florida and well we won't talk about the trip home....lol.

First of June Roger had knee replacement surgery which went well! He spent a couple weeks in Healthsouth Rehab in Huntington and then home. But, in July he had an allergic reaction to meds and was in ER three times and then stayed in the hospital for 3 days. He is doing well now.




Then we get to August and and I start to have nose bleeds. Couple trips to ER and a couple trips to the ENT and surgery and I am on my way to healing.

In September, daughter Jennifer started the management training program at  Kroger's!
She has to be in Roanoke some and then she works in Charleston stores. She will found out in February what store she will co-manager.

Last week Debra's boyfriend TJ totaled her car late at night. He had a concussion but seems to be doing well now. I guess Debra will get that SUV she was wanting after all!

Well, some more good news is CRD products will be in three different stores in Charleston, WV. They are Baby Phases, Sweet Peas, and Capitol Market. CRD also has products in Daystar Bible Bookstore in Summersville, WV.

CRD will be a featured artisan at Tamarack in April, October and December 2012! I will post dates as they are scheduled.

With all this said and done I can say there always is a silver lining on every cloud! And there have been so many silver linings for me with this cloud. I can say I give thanks daily to God for all that I have accomplished since the wreck. No major injuries but so many blessings!

Come back and visit soon!

Busy, Busy, Busy time of year!

It has been one busy month or so here at CRD!

Two weeks ago we were at the Roadkill Festival in Marlinton and then the next day we traveled to Cranberry Nature Center to do the Shindig Festival! Had a great day at the Roadkill with items from CRD traveling to NC, TN and WV! And then at the Shindig items from CRD are traveling all the way to FRANCE!!!! CRD is now going to be known internationally!! I am so excited!

Sweet Water Soap made an appearance at both shows with CRD. The Roadkill show being their first festival. Kim Spencer does a fantastic job creating handcrafted goat milk soap. She also has lots of other wonderful scents. Contact CRD and I can put you in contact with her. Sweet Water Soap will be featuring organic cotton washcloths in the very near future to go along with the soaps.

Be looking for us at the Arts and Crafts Show at the fairgrounds in Fairlea, WV this coming weekend!!

Hope to see you there!
