A Day of Rememberence

Today I will not be open for business. Instead I will be remembering and praying for everyone affected by the attack on our great nation on this day twelve years ago. Below are some links and images to help us to remember and pay tribute to that day, those lost and those forever changed by those events.
May God bring peace back to this nation.
Have a Blessed Day

Walk, Run, AVON...For a Cure.

Happy Wednesday Everyone.

Today I would like to talk to you all about a little girl named Keira.

Keira is  a very spirited 5 year old twin. Over the 2012 Holiday Season her parents were given some heartbreaking news. Keira was told she had cancer. The silver lining, she was diagnosed with ALL. This kind of cancer has a high success recovery rate.
You can keep up to date on Keira's progress through out her treatment journey on her blog.
Keira's Blog

As you may know Lexy's HandMade Creations held an auction benefit for Keira at the beginning of the year. I plan on holding another at the beginning of 2014 as well. The funds raised will go the Keira and her families needs as she continues her fight with ALL. I will also be listing her, along side my PeePaw(God rest him) and Step-Dad, as someone I am walking for in this years Light the Night Walk. Follow this link to join my team or donate to help find a cure: Light for Life.

Keira has captured the hearts of many people. Her family will be walking the One Million Miles Walk, in her honor, hosted by Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to help raise awareness and donations to continue the search for a cure. Follow this link to get more information on that walk: Team Keira. As well as an AVON Fundraiser to help. Follow this to get to the group page for AVON Fundraiser.

As you all know I have been crocheting for some time now.
 My journey started off, while I was pregnant with our daughter, as a desire to make my baby a special blanket. At first I didn’t get it, but with a little help and practice I was on my way to, what you now could call my, addiction for the art. I would make stuff, while I was working full-time, just to make it and give it away. Or I would make stuff as gifts to answer the call of the hook. Or as a stress reliever.
 After we moved, and my hours at work were limited, I was faced with and unimaginable amount of time on my hands. This only fueled the fire to turn a ball of yarn into something, anything. With a big tub of yarn, my grandma gave me, and uninterrupted time I crocheted my little heart out. Once I was done I didn’t know what I was going to do with all the stuff I had made. I thought craft shows, sponsored events and my Facebook page would all be sufficient.
 The events came and went. And my Facebook fan page hit the ground crawling. So I decided to be more productive. Liking ladders, Page Mingling and other creative ways to get likes was the road to fan base growth. Next were auctions, hosted by other pages, to get my name out there. And then, what turned into a huge break for me, an RTS group.
This turned my inventory into actual sales. Packages were bundled and shipped. Photographers started buying my items for their prop drawers and Lexy’s HandMade Creations took a turn for the more professional crocheting realm of things. And now I am partnering up with a new group.
 Made with Love, Props & More is my newest outlet for reaching new clients. Fairly new to Facebook, Made with Love, Props & More is headed up by a very professional lady with the know how to make a successful page, where we can come together and get our handmade goods to new homes. I am very excited about this new partnership because I know that new connections will be made. Also because this page is not just for your photographer.
 It is for your new mom and dad looking for a special handmade item for their new bundle of joy. It’s for your trendy teen, who doesn’t want to have the same scarf or headband every other girl in school has. It’s for you, who is looking for a new “spoil myself” gift that is made by a person and not a machine.
 So head on over to Made with Love, Props and More and check it out (https://www.facebook.com/MadeWithLovePropsMore). And Mark Your Colanders for July 23, 2013. That is the big Grand Opening Sale. It will be Christmas in July, because it’s never to early to buy your new fall and winter props or Christmas presents.
 I hope you all have a very Blessed Day

Fourth of July
While online today I came across a super patriotic crochet item. Starting Chain posted an American Flag Blanket she made, http://startingchain.com/?ref=june26a. And it gave me the idea that, with Independence Day right around the corner, I shall concur the project too. I hear it is fairly easy so I just need to get some supplies and get started.
I think I will give it to my little brother who just shipped off to Michigan, for Navel Boot Camp. They grow up so fast.
So here is to those who serve, have served or plan on serving. Thank you so much for your service.

Testing the Ropes
So I have always been a little afraid, intimidated, by the idea of crocheting baby cloths.
I am no longer afraid. YAY!
Last week I took up a chance to test a layette set pattern. This included things I already knew how to deal with; hat, blanket. But it also included things I was no so familiar with; pants and a sweater.
I was pretty excited about the new endeavor that I jumped on it right away. First I tackled the pants, then the sweater. And I whipped through those fairly quickly.
So I am excited to say that Lexy’s HandMade Creations will now be offering layette sets and pant/shorts, sweater sets.
Once the pattern for that I tested is released I will update with a link to it, along with pics of the set I made from it.
Have a Blessed Day everyone

Praying for Boston

TbT
From my family to yours Boston Marathon Victims, I send you’re my heartfelt prayers, sympathy and empathy. For the rescuers, weather by profession or chance, I pray for peace and am in awe by your selfless acts of heroism.
God Speed
Lexy Moore
Yesterday our nation was attacked right in the heart of Boston. Thousands had come to join in on the long time tradition of the Boston Marathon, some running and some cheering on the sidelines. But some had more sinister ideas of how the day should play out.
While runners crossed the finish line and spectators looked on, an evil, vial person choose to set terror in the hearts and minds of those there. The person, or persons, who perpetrated this act set out to place fear in the American people.
Since then we have gotten updates on the loss of life and the number of injured. We have been told that the investigation will not cease until the person(s) responsible for this crime are brought to their much deserved due justice. While we are all anxious for answers I caution you to be wise about what you read and see plastered on your Facebook, Twitter and(if you still have one) MySpace feeds.
Not everyone is out to spread the most current, factual news. There are people that will use this event as a means to spread vicious lies or create more avenues of venerability. Conspiracy Theorist are quick to throw uninformed messages out to a fractured people. And Hackers are out to create the “Like this to show your respect” “Spread this because the Government doesn’t want it seen” posts to penetrate your security by playing on your heart strings.
This terrible tragedy happened just yesterday. The media can, at best speculate on the who, what, where, when, why and how’s of the events that took place until investigators are finished with their investigation. They will know more information than your Facebook feed. So please do not fall into the trap of spreading ill willed information. This will only bring more heartache to those already in anguish.

Good morning everyone.
I do hope you all are having a fabulous day.
There have been a lot of things going on here at Lexy’s HandMade Creations. Several auctions and giveaways have come to and end just so several more can start up.
You can find links to the active auctions at the end of this posting.
Quite a few items will be shipping out this week along with some personal gifts that I am excited about finishing up as well.
But right now I would like to talk about Keira.
She is a 4 year old little girl who has been spending more time in the hospital than she should at her young age. She is a bright fun young girl who is also a twin. Keira was diagnosed with Leukemia during the 2012 holiday season. So aside from being away from home for treatment, away from her best friend since before birth and away her friends, she is also battling to beat this cancer.
In an effort to help her and her family with medical bills, food and lodging and any other special needs they will have over the next few years of treatment, I am hosting a benefit auction on my page. The auction will be March 10th-23rd. What I am in the hunt for now are more vendors to donate.
How will this work for the vendors?
Vendors will follow this link to the event page to join.
https://www.facebook.com/events/318888028230910/ Once you Join please post an ablum with up to 10 items of things you want to auction off for during the benefit. You set the % that you will donate from each item. You also set the shipping and handling requierments(I.e. $, locations you ship to, ect.). But you can find all of that information on the event page on Facebook.
If you do not have Facebook, but want to donate please let me know so I can see how to add your items into the auction.
Well that is all I really have for you today. Have a very Blessed Day.
Lexy
