I am a women.
I am a women.
This month is National Women's History Month. I would like to put some strong women in my life in the spotlight. They are women that have talents you couldn't believe!
First and foremost is my Momma.
{Left: My Grandma, Right: My Momma}
She is superwomen. She raised her 3 children as a single Mom and still fixed the washing machine when it was broken, fixed the toilet when it wouldn't flush, painted the house numerous times, went to her son's T-ball and baseball games, went to her daughter's cello reticles, shopped with her eldest all while teaching us to chew with our mouths closed and to pronounce our "T's". Amongst other things she is a crafty lady. She owns 3 Etsy shops that are very diverse and unique. Check out her Steam Punk jewelry at Steam Trunk Studios She also has a Uniquely elegant line of jewelry at Lilikoi Designer after making all of that she has a whole sale site where she sales components as well at Hip Chickee Beads. I would not, could not, survive if it weren't for my Momma's heart. It does so many more things than just pump blood.
My Sister is one of a kind.
{Left: My Sister, Right: My Niece}
She is a phenomenal Mother to her children. While she cleans her home 19 times a day, does laundry for five, works at home full time, co-partners in 2 Etsy shops, takes care of her three children 4 years old and younger, Bakes cookies, still has time to go to the gym and make home made Chinese food for dinner. My sister has that "craft gene" in her as well. She is a superb master of the sewing machine and sells her wonders on Etsy. Her Designer quilts and chic way to make everyday items adorable are crafted and sold in Love Me Ragged. Crafty in a whole other spectrum are her one of a kind wood letters and assortments on JC's Blooming Boutique. I couldn't imagine not having my big sister to dance in the kitchen with and to cry with.
These two women are in my life almost daily and are in my thoughts and prayers always. I have so many women in my life that are incredible and bless those who surround them. You know who you are. My Mom has always taught me to Remember Who I Am and What I Stand For.
So, cheers to all the Women out there! Lets take a bit and remember how far we have come, where we are and where we are going. Remember all the women in your life that make an impact, remember the women in your life who have died and were a blessing, Remember all the little girls we are teaching to be women; so they may grow up and remember who they are and what they stand for.
I am lovin on this post. Your mom and sis are wonderful people who helped create the wonder that is in the wonderful you!
