January 12, 2020

*SCROLL DOWN FOR GIVEAWAY INFO*

I CANNOT believe that I’ve been painting peg dolls for a full year! This hobby quickly turned into something bigger than I ever imagined it would be. I started posting pictures of the ones I made for my own kids and then the messages from other people came rolling in. Therefore, I decided to open an Etsy shop! I honestly didn’t know how well I’d do but I thought, hey, if I could get a couple orders a month that would be cool and it would give me something to do.

I had absolutely no painting background at all. I just went for it and hoped for the best. I didn’t care about quality at first because I thought my kids were going to be the only ones playing with them. Check out some of my very first pegs I painted! I have come a LONG way! You may notice that I used to paint “skin”. I stopped doing that because I prefer seeing the natural wood poking through. Do you agree?

I cringe at some of those photos but it’s also cool to see how far I’ve come. My technique and strokes improve the more and more I paint. I can’t wait to see where I’m at in a couple years!

I do love adding new characters to the shop all the time. My most popular are the superheroes and princesses. My favorite items currently in my shop are the Mini Princess Sets! They are so cute!

I’ve been trying to add other items to my shop as well. This year we added peg doll “pouches”. These work great for keeping all your little people in a safe spot or for travel. I also added wooden bead keychains! These can be used as zipper pulls too (which work nice on the peg pouch!).

One of my favorite parts of this process is when I seal the pegs up and get them ready for packaging! It’s fun seeing the finished product and putting my logo on it. Very rewarding!

Working in the flea markets has been really fun for me too! Preparing a huge inventory of pegs, setting up the table, meeting customers, etc. I’ve learned a lot from other vendors I’ve met and it helps me see what pegs draw people in and which ones aren’t of interest to people.

Overall, its been a great year! Painting pegs gives me a creative outlet and I’ve really enjoyed having the shop the past year. I can’t wait for 2020!

I FINALLY filmed my 2020 book haul vlog. I love sh I FINALLY filmed my 2020 book haul vlog. I love sharing what books I loved (or hated) each year with you all. Sadly in 2020 I only read 14 books! Which honestly seems weird since we were all stuck at home? I’m sure you guys know what books stole the show for me though... 😏🖤♾ #hessa #bookhaul

Comment and leave a recommendation for a book to add to my 2021 list!

It’s honestly such a hard age to buy for but I’m thankful they are at least girls - that makes it easier. Boys are the worst to shop for in my opinion. 😂 I decided to post a little photo of their room because we never really see this area of my house! They have the entire basement to themselves! 💕 #tweengirls
