Check out this fabric!!!

A while back I was working with a customer on a custom nursery bedding project and in the process of scouring the lands for fabric, the customer actually introduced me to a FANTASTIC designer! Emily Burger is talented artist creating adorable prints for children's rooms...she uses this talent to create incredibly cute organic fabric prints. You can check her out here Etsy site here and you view all her fabrics on flickr here
Right now she is offer up one fat quarter to each of 4 winners on her blog...check it out here.
I love her fabric and hope one day soon to be able to create a customer nursery utilizing her beautiful organic prints.

It's May!!!!

Yay! Spring is here and summer is on it's way! The occasional cool day will not deter the uplifted spirits in our house as the kids can FINALLY play outside!!! I recently started offering printed fabric labels in my shop (after needing some myself and finding them pretty reasonable to make) and they are selling like hotcakes!!! I am amazed! I'm actually considering opening a second shop because now if you want to look through my sold items for examples of sewing things I have done, you have to wade through pages of label orders!

Anyway, I haven't been doing a ton of sewing...I patterned a new apron that I am still working on. I made one and have made some adjustments and I have the next on cut and sitting down in the sewing cave waiting to come to life!







I recently did a set of pillows for a customer using the Anna Maria Horner's Drawing Room fabric that was used on the porch swing cushions I did around Easter and they are sooo cute that the customer has already asked me to make her valances to match.








Don't miss out on the It's In The Bag Giveaway...you can click the button on the right for all the details.
I signed up to sell at an open air French Market in town this summer! There are six venues...I signed up for the first and am going to see how it goes on possibly doing one more. If you live in Illinois (in the Northern part of the state or the Chicagoland area), here is the link with all the details. Three French Hens

Beyond that, I just received an order of a couple t-shirts. I want to embellish one to go with the blue/lime Amy Butler skirt I made my daughter (I really wasn't happy with the shirt I made so...)
Enjoy your day!

Bad Blogger!!!

I am a very bad blogger...in that I just don't do it enough. So...I have been busy, though. I participated in my first ever craft show; it was a local PTO sponsored show. It was so-so...I sold two bags and covered my entry cost. But, I got my name out there locally and found out about a French Market being held this summer that I think I am going to participate in.

I just completed a set of box cushions for client's porch swing. She provided the fabric and I know have another fabric favorite to add to my list. They were done using Anna Maria Horner's Drawing room fabric, which is absolutely fabulous!

I am also participating in a blog giveaway hosted by Celeste of Etsyitup.blogspot.com and Katie of TheShoppingMama.com. Click the button on the right for more details! That's about it for now. I am heading down to the sewing cave to start on a custom diaper bag...I will post pictures of that when I am finished.
