I've listed three more aprons in my etsy shop now - getting a lot of lookers, but no buyers (yet). I am hopeful tho.. I'm pleased with the quality of my work and feel they will serve their purposes well :)



The same day I listed my Blue Bows and Bells apron, I was contacted by someone who said she was added it and my shop link to her blog as a great Mother's Day gift. How awesome is that?!?

Feel free to run over there and take a peek - it wouldn't even hurt my feelings if you felt compelled to buy something LOL

oh yeah! Happiness! The other day, after I listed my Blue Bells and Bows apron, I was contacted from someone who said they were listing that apron with a link to my shop on their blog as a great Mother's Day gift. How awesome is that?!?
I've linked to her blog over there in my sidebar *points - over there* ... so after you've checked out my shop, go back and check out Hairbow Diva if you have a few minutes. ;-)


My current goal is to add at least 1 item every 1-2 days. In addition to my aprons and pincushions, I have several cloth dolls that I will be listing this week.

Here are the ones I've finished and listed in the last few days:

This first one started its life as a two-layer skirt. A sheer, hot pink layer underneath and black over that with amazing embroidered flowers on the top panels. After a few snips and the addition of some pretty ribbons ... it turned into a really cute apron. It has generated a lot of interested so far :)

I love this retro design. The nearly 9 yards of bias tape can be a real bugger ... but it turns into such a cute apron that sculpts a lady's curves juuust right. I totally plan on making more of this style.

This was another skirt I worked over and reassigned to apron duty. Cute, Cute, CUTE! is all I have to say about this one :D

I have several apron designs that I've drawn out and plan on tackling this next week. My mind is constantly coming up with ideas and everything I look at is subject to be fodder for my designs ... I am so grateful I got the creative genes from my mom (not to mention the sewing machine LOL). Sometimes when I'm sewing, I feel her spirit around me. I think she would be happy to with what I'm doing.

It's past dinner time now, so I need to go forage for nourishment for me and my dearest hubby. I'll be back soon.
