I’ve had a sudden desire to start blogging again. This comes after being featured in another blog! Do you remember the Lightning Bolt quilt that I was working on two summers ago? Well, Sew, Mama, Sew! is featuring a variety of quilts in the month of February and my lightning bolt quilt is one of those chosen.

Please check out the lightning bolt quilt and the other lovely quilting pieces featured at the Sew, Mama, Sew Blog.

I’ve also been working a lot my etsy shop. It is about time that I start to focus a large part of my life on my business. If I want it to become a permanent part of my future, I need to make sewing a regular part of my life.

Here are some of the items I’ve done most recently - the 08 collection.

Squirrel Print Clutch:

Tree / Forest Print Pocketbook

I realized after much neglect that I had in fact abandoned this blog after switching hosts over to m’s own server. So, here is to a new beginning and one which will hopefully be longer and more continuous then the last.

I have recently been occupying my time readying myself for a craft fair I am not even sure I have been accepted into yet. Here’s to hoping! And if not, it will only allow my inventory to grow (seeing as it is was only at about 6 items a few weeks ago). Anyway, this is what I have been up to:

Pocketbooks are my newest and dearest friend. I do not know if I am the only one that works this way but I tend to dwell on one particular design until I’ve made X number of items. Once I reach that goal, I am usually exhausted and excited to start a new design. I think this keeps me motivated even though I have been a little lazy these last few months.
