I know it’s been way to long since I posted! Like everyone else there’s just been so much going on. Boy have I missed sharing things here! Wanted to share that I’m getting back into the swing of things. From blogging and making more video tutorials! YES, you read that right!
I thought I’d start off with something that has been keeping my super busy lately! What is it you ask? Well, it’s bee’s…yup LOT’s of BEE’s!! They are selling like crazy and I can’t keep up! I did a video which I’ll share once it’s loaded on YouTube! I have to warn you though I’m a little out of practice. LOL!! Below are just a few I’ve made.
My inspiration came from TikTok – I first saw the pattern by Robin of Hooked by Robin on YouTube. Then I saw the Kaytedid’s one as well on TikTok. I played around and came up with different sizes that I wanted to share with you all!
Aren’t these the cutest??? This is the most popular size that I make. I do a Mini, Small and Medium which I’ll share with you below. YouTube video is now ready.
I hope you enjoy making them as much as I have. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
