Well I think this is going to be longer than I thought, but I am so grateful for this opportunity to launch Cotton Candy that I have to do the introduction justice.
What began almost a year ago as a search for the perfect headband to match my daughters custom made Christmas dress, is now Cotton Candy. My humble attempt at creating a simple "flower" from the same fabric as her dress took a little longer than I thought. A few prototypes along the way and lots of practice and here we are.
With encouragement from friends and family I started to give headbands and clips to a few precious little girls. I have an incredible support system in my family. My sister in law volunteers to play with my kids to give me uniterrupted time and my husband stays up with me when I work late into the night. My mom is a multi-talented woman that has spent so much of her life teaching me attention to detail and about laboring in love in so many ways. Any skill or creativity I have is a reflection of the endless hours of sewing, school projects and, craftiness that she has poured into my life. I could fill a page with a list of all the things she has created or embellished for me, for one that custom Christmas dress for my daughter was made by her.
The addition of Cotton Candy has rounded out my life in a way that leaves me fulfilled and challenged, excited and grateful, and balanced and busy. I thought this was going to be my third baby, but life had other plans, because my third baby is due in March! The perfect surprise and blessing So with a very full home and heart, here it goes....
