Let me get to one of our biggest announcements, this is really something big for us and I really want to share it with you guys.
Let me start at the beginning of how this happened and why we are so excited about it. About 3 months ago I was sitting in my kitchen having a conversation with my mother. We were talking about this amazing birthday party we went to a few days before, it was a black and gold party, very elegant affair, we hand a wonderful time. Then she started gushing about the fact that I decide to make my own dress , "YES I CROCHETED MY OWN DRESS" and that I kept a secret from her until she came up here. I didn't like what was in the stores and I wanted something that would be comfortable for me but also keep me still looking fabulous so I said why not and my crochet gown was born. My mom thought that was one of the most amazing things she has ever seen LOL GOT TO LOVE HER!!!

Well as we continued talking she asked me about what I want to do in 2016. What goal are you looking to accomplish for the new year.I told her I would like to showcase my work more, do it on a different level, have people really take a look at what I do. Crochet is my passion, I love it and I love the exposure I get from Etsy, Facebook and the other social media platforms,It's great but it is limited and with limited funds you know. I also have three kids I have to help take care of and that can take a lot of time and money and certain other things have to be placed on the back burner.
Listening to what I had to said my wonderful Mom said this. "What if I could help you accomplish this? What if I could help you to get more people to see your amazing work? What if I can get someone that can help you showcase your work?" I was like, Yes that would be wonderful (DO YOU GUYS THINK I WOULD SAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT) so she contacted the Birthday Girl from the party we went to, her friend, her very best friend. She put me on the phone with her. We had a nice long conversation about what I want to accomplish and some of my goals for the new year and beyond . Well to make this long story some what short she liked what I had to say and she is now helping us, my daughter, my husband and I put on this amazing Fashion Show / Lip Sync Show .
Yes this is are big announcement we are having a Mother Day extravaganza. On May 7th of this year I am putting on a fashion show featuring some of my crochet fashions. I am so proud, and so excited, and feel so blessed. I really can't put how I feel in words.
This show will be the first time that a collection of my items will be worn and walking down a runway for people to see how the garment looks up close and personal on a model. This wonderful show will also be featuring my daughters lovely jewelry I am still so proud of my baby girl love her to death. This event is truly a family affair with my husband working the other half of the show the Lip Sync half of the show. His passion is music just like mine is crochet and I know he's got this. Along with my husband and daughter my son and my baby daughter will be performing in the show along with my mother , my brother, my niece and my cousin this is going to be a truly amazing affair.
So if you live in or visiting the Irvington, NJ area on May 7th of this year please come on down and support your girl and my family we would love to see you there.
Also down the pike for ALMB&JHANDMADE we will be doing a lot more vending events this year hoping to branch out in other cities so stay tuned for that.
Also I want to take the time to show you all some of my new pieces. Some of the things that I am really proud of
ELEGANT GOLD & BLACK BEANIE WITH SIDE FLOWER AND MATCHING INFINITY SCARF
This is my Gold and Black Elegant Beanie with side flower and matching infinity scarf.
I made this piece because I bought this Patons Metallic yarn hoping to make a wrap for one of my customers but I didn't like the way the yarn looked so we went another way. I still hand this metallic yarn and I am not one to waste things so I add the metallic yarn to some red heart super savor yarn in black and here it is . This very lovely very elegant set. I just love how it turn out.
WINTER WHITE , BROWN AND TAN HEAD WRAP
So recently I sold one of my head wraps a lovely forest green, the customer loved it but I'm down one head wrap in my Etsy shop so I was sitting around trying to figure out what I could do to replace it I saw these lovely earthy colors sitting next to me and so I came up with this beautiful Winter White, Brown and Tan head wrap. This piece is so great for making your winter outfit pop. This wrap is a great alternative to the basic beanie . So forget about having a bad hair day when you put on this gorgeous head wrap.
BROWN & TAN FRINGE HANDBAG
As you all know fringe is in so I had to hop on the fringe band wagon with this gorgeous brown and tan fringe boho bag. The perfect piece for those of us that want to be part of a trend but don't want to cover yourself up head to toe in it. This bag is a great compliment with any outfit you may want to pair it with . With this little trendy number you will have people asking you where did you get that amazing bag.
GRAY AND YELLOW SOLID GRANNY SQUARE BAG
This very fashionable and stylish crochet granny square bag goes perfect with just about any outfit. I made this granny square bag very durable but it is certainly not ruff to the touch. This simple but elegant design of solid granny squares is a beautiful piece for any woman weather it's the woman on the go or the fashionista looking for the perfect bag for a night out on the town.
All of these pieces will be available for purchase very soon except the yellow and grey bag that is for purchase right now. Just click on the pictures of the bag and it will take you right to my Etsy shop.
Well it has been really great talking to you guys again. I hope we can do it more often. You all have a wonderful and blessed day. Thanks for listening and I Will talk to you all again really soon.
