Made it through Bat's Day Weekend and sold one of the new lizards that I made. I actually finished sewing their tails and eyes on them in the hotel room while the baby slept on my lap.

Photos of them to come as soon as I get the boxes unpacked.

I've got a new tripod and screens to use to take some decent photos now too. I'm looking forward to playing around with it all.

The next show we'll be at is a Bridal Show in August and the potential for another show the following weekend. I'll keep you all posted with updates as they come in.

Etsy Store Listings

In the theme of getting things posted and up and going, must be that whole Spring starting new thing ;), I've renewed the items in my Etsy Store, though to be honest I didn't realize that they expired back in October. Then again, I was a bit busy with the newest addition to the family too.

So without further adieu, here is what is up there now:

Pink Bat Pillow:

Green Bat Pillow:

Red Flame Print Rabbit with Skull Eyes:

Grey Rabbit with Flaming Hearts:



More to come!

At the urging of a couple friends I finally created a Facebook Group for my business.

I've also got a few items listed for sale in my Etsy store with more to come. I do need to get better a setup for photos.

I also decided that I need to get a couple child sized dress forms for photography of the kids clothing I've done. A few photos of the items I have done recently are below.

Boy's shirts:



Girl's dresses which also have a matching diaper cover (not shown in the photo)

Long overdue update

Life has finally slowed down enough for me to start working on this thing again. Now that my little girl is 6 months old and can be left to rolling around on the floor within eyesight for periods of time I can start working on the business again and hopefully more frequent posting.

Who knew that having two kids would be at least 5 times as much work as one!

Though with recent events, I have found time to dig out some of my unfinished projects and start working on them. I do need to get the photographed and posted on the website and my Etsy store as well. Right now there are only a few things up there for sale.

My goal in the next couple of months is to get a major inventory done of all my supplies and get everything organized so not only I can use the space in the garage, but so the husband can get started on some various woodworking projects that I have for him.

My first step was to get everything I needed to do listed and well that became 5 pages in a matter of minutes. I've since got it all in a spreadsheet and categorized, though I didn't even begin to go down the road or prioritizing everything, I'm really not that adamant about having things down to that much detail.

I've also got a commission piece that I need to finish up, which hopefully I'll have done in the next week or two at the most.

Finally got this thing some what set up..

Well, here it is, the first post in my blog for my sewing business.

Over the next few weeks there will be plenty of changes once I get all the html and such figured out, etc. Yes, html. I one of those people who like to do my design stuff by hand kinda like my pattern making and other things. Sure I could use a preformed template like I'm doing right now for the interm, but I like to tweak colors and the way things are laid out.

So check back in the next few days, weeks, months, etc, to see what I've changed, added etc. Of course there may not be too much going on in the next couple weeks here as my second baby should be arriving sometime soon.

'Til then....have a good one!
