Etsy!

I finally sold something on Etsy!!! Whew. I've had things listed on there forever and I was just waiting for something to get snatched up! I still don't think that I'm going to start raking in the money, but it feels good to just having something sold. :) So if you get a minute, go look at what I have available! I'm also willing to do custom projects including but not limited to: quilts, crib skirts, curtains, pillows, bags, and nursing covers. Yay!

Here are some pictures of the sewing I've been doing lately. It was my first attempt at sewing several products for one space. Quenby has a great eye for color and texture and scale so she picked out all the fabric. She appologizes for being picky, but that just means she knows what she likes! (And there's nothing wrong with that!) I'm really happy with the way it all turned out and I think she put together a really great space for Miss K! I also had to try to be picky about how everything turned out. Sometimes I just let it go if it's not perfect because I can live with it. But I really tried to be more of a perfectionist about these items. I can see myself doing more of these types of projects in the future.

Little Owls

I quilted this little baby quilt this week and put some binding on it while sitting by the fire and watching TV. It has just been that kind of weather lately! Lots of snow and negative temperatures means turning on the fireplace. I'm really happy with the quilting I did on this. Of course, I managed to get a close up with some loose strings in the picture. Oh well. I have also been having a hard time getting pictures to rotate. I save them the right way, but then they won't upload correctly. I need to work that one out. I backed this with a cute little owl print. I bought it because it was cute, but wasn't sure what to do with it! Turns out the colors were a great fit for this one, so it became the backing. Love love love striped binding! This one will be on it's way shortly to a friend who is going to be a great daddy to a beautiful little girl!
