Whew Child…..Homecoming 2024 is done! 🐐😜
As many know I’ve taken 1st grade teaching position at H.O. (What a dream) ❤️
I’ve had to take a step back from my craft room and baking nook. But when my niece and her squad request overalls…That’s what they get!! There were blueprints drawn, MULTIPLE FaceTime calls to make sure their overalls are up to parr. 😬
The pressure is real yall!! 👸🏻
Stay tuned for next year yall!! I’m investing in all the tools and machines to make this little hobby and heart happy work run smooth and take in a few more. I will still hand paint and design……just going to make my life a bit easier. Ya dig?
A special shout out to Bri Walker with The Walkers Southern Lifestyle who stepped up when I called in a panic because the girls wanted a certain Goat design and volleyball and that just wasn’t in my wheel house. She so kindly shared her designs and iron on patches. She’s the real MVP! ❤️🙌🏻

Homecoming 2023. Was only to do my nieces and my auction overalls. But when a mom informs me that Sister started walking this week and she’s wanting the overalls she bought sassyied up a bit. SAY LESS!! Icing on the cake were her husband Army patches. Thank you for your service and for trusting me with them.
See y’all next year. Yah girls already in bed. 🐐🥰

Hi there! It’s me again. 🙋🏻‍♀️🎨
I’ve been pretty absent here lately and during the busiest times of year . Many know why, but those of you that don’t I accepted my dream job as a 1st Grade Teacher as well as continuing my education with a full load of classes. 🙃 It was with a heavy yet full heart I had to step away from Groesbeck Homecoming and all that that implies. As I hand paint, hand cut, and hand stitch all of my jeans and overalls. I am honoring those that were bought at auctions, a pair that was preordered last year for her senior year, and a pair for my very opinionated Entertainment Director aka my niece. 🥰 Thank you to those that trusted me with all the fun last year and those that understood my hectic schedule this year. I will be back next year brushes and craft scissors blazing.
Mart, Mexia, Teague, Fairfield, Leon, Corsicana, and other homecomings….I am taking a few orders this year.
Love and Blessings to You All,
Miss. Holmes/Miss. Lauren/Sissy/Lauren

Some times I have complete creative control. Then other times the CEO of Hawk Haven Handmades aka my neice Charlee informs me differently.
Designed her own font and drew blueprints of exact pompom placement.
We even got to twin with one of our school friends.
Some times we make beautiful creations and some times we thrive on the ugly. 🎄🌟

This sweet girl came to me from Mart. Told me she wanted to celebrate her Nana beating cancer , is the head Student Trainer, and wanted all the extra and all the glitter!! So much fun!! 🐆 😍

Hi there. My name is Lauren Holmes. Also affectionately called Sissy. What started out as a request by Tha Princess Sis aka my niece, quickly turned into a passion project for friends. Thank you all for the business and support.
With Pauls push I’ve decided to do a little something.
Hawk Haven Handmades is named in memory of my father. A passion project for family, friends, and strangers.
All hand painted, custom done, and made with love.
Attire for Homecoming, Team Spirit, or just for fun.
I will now be taking orders for overalls, jeans, jackets, shoes, and more. Got an idea? Let’s get it done!
