Excited about...

Just a quick post..

I have been spending a lot of time putting some (much needed) effort into my etsy shop.

That little pic there, yeah I just redid my shop with a graphic set from here.

She was wonderful to work with, super fast, and was patient with my little tweaks to my font and such..

Please go take a peek and tell me what you think!

I am also very excited about my sponsorship over on the 30days blog. I had a giveaway around this time last year (and another coming really soon!)

I am very eager to be advertising on this blog!

Also, I just started to work on a WeePereas Facebook page, please become a fan! Or help me out with any suggestions as to how to make it better, as it is still in the works! (there is a gadget in my right column now!)

My Baby Boots,Athenian Green have been featured in Etsy's Gift Guide!!!

Plenty more coming this week as I build up some inventory this week in anticipation of Black Friday/Cyber Monday!

Etsy Feature- Knee High to a Shoofly

A little while ago, I did an order with KneeHightoaShooFly,

Grace has such a great idea for an Etsy shop, and I think all of her growth charts are darling.

She ordered some number fabric from me,

Isn't the Jerome the Giraffe Growth Chart just the cutest?!

Go check out her shop if you haven't already, she is offering free shipping to the next customer!

I also have listed my last two yards of the number fabric in my shop. No more hoarding fabric around here!

Sewing Subclub

Last night was the first meeting of the sewing subclub,

After some bobbin difficulties, (Susan or me didn't know how to use a drop in..) things went smoothly...

We made the rice heat therapy bags from the tutorial on Sew Mama Sew.

I am glad we were able to finish up the bags, so the gals had something to take home and feel some accomplishment :)

Here are the finished bags, I made mine up before to bring as a sample..
And the sewing gals- Nicole, Me, and Janey. (let me know if you don't want your picture posted here!)
Susan was all too willing to be the one to take the picture so she didn't have to be in it..
Next month's should be a lot of fun, we have Christmas stockings planned as our project! Now i just need to make a few more up for samples!

Still here..

Well, hello there.

I really didnt intend to take such a bloggy break, but we moved and it seemed like it took forever to get settled in.

I have a sewing and computer room now, although I have yet to sew in there... Somehow the kitchen table is just familiar, plus I can sew while the wee ones play in the living room :)

I have been really focusing on getting more listings in my shop.

I made up a few pairs of baby shoes last week, this is just some of my favorites..

I forgot how fun it was to make tiny baby shoes, and I just grabbed every awesome fabric I saw in the stash. No more hoarding around here..

Tomarrow I am meeting up with some awesome gals to do a little sewing club. I am pretty giddy about showing others some basic sewing. Well, my SIL, Amanda, and my Aunt Susan have agreed to come help out and join in the fun :) ...Plus it will be an hour or two of mama time!

We will be making rice heat therapy bags, and this was my first one/sample. I used upcycled grey linen and orange fabric scraps from that quilt I never finished..

The tutorial is from Sew Mama Sew, but here is another one that is a slip cover.

I will have to remember to get a picture of our finished projects tomarrow..

Lately I have gotten an idea or a project in my head, and I feel like I have to make.it.right.now.
I have been doodling all these little ideas to do some applique, and I made up this little clothesline pouch for my etsy.
Something totally different, but I would like to make a few things for mom (or mama gifts) to add to my shop for the holidays..

And, something I have been working on for far too long..

I now have a pdf pattern in my shop. ^_^

I am so happy to finally have this put together and up in my shop.

HUGE thanks Jill :)

More to come soon, as Cristian is sitting on my lap, despite it being 10 oclock. He feel asleep watching a movie today, and of course that couldnt just be extra sleep today, or extra quiet time for me today..

Flurries...

Flurries, like the butterfly feeling you have in your stomach.

Well that's how my head has felt lately..

I have a bunch of ideas that I keep bouncing around, and it has been overwhelming and very unproductive trying to get projects done.

In an attempt to clear my head, finish some wips, and get my etsy stocked up, I am going to step back from the computer for the next few days or so..

This is one of the projects that I have been working on and have been so excited about. I am making an improved version of the memory game that I made a few of last Christmas. I will be making an alphabet and an i spy version of the memory game, with a lined drawstring bag for storage. It is kinda ridiculous how giddy I am to be finally getting this idea out of my head...
I received a wonderful array of fabrics from A bit of this and a bit of that's giveaway. I swear I have some kind of giveaway karma, because I have seemed to won a giveaway after having my own giveaway.. The fabrics are mostly blends, and super silky. I was thinking they would be nice for drawstring bags, and ideas?
Finally made Adriano some new booties. They are lined with super soft fleece, and are oh so cuddly. They are also my practice pair for 12-18 month size booties for my shop.
I needed the larger size for the reversible baby shoe pdf that I am working on! (check back in a week or so!!)

I needed a break from drawstring bags and tiny memory game squares, so I made up this little RAR! dinosaur embroidery for Cristian's room. We watched Transformer's when it came to video on Tuesday, and I couldn't sit still the whole movie without doing some hand sewing ^_^

I also realized how much more I love these wooden hoops than the plastic Clover hoop I have been using for so long..

I picked up some craft books, because well my sewing book stash is obsolete, and I am hoping to get inspired for some Christmas gifts.
Both of these have some great patterns and projects. I plan to (finally) make Christmas stockings for my family this year.
I made up some little trick-or-treat totes for the kids to use this Saturday. I love the wee mummy on this fabric!
I started to make some simple cards to include with my etsy orders. I had some blank cards and envelopes leftover from wedding thank you's (which I just got the pictures from and are sending out this week!). I picked up a scrapbook paper pack, and a thank you stamp, and just added a little button.
I made up another Emmeline Apron for my sister to give as a gift. It was nice to use this pretty pattern again, I haven't made one since Christmas gifts last year. Maybe I can finally make one for myself :)
