Monday Monday

UGH! another Monday!  I though Spring was here, but it is SNOWING and it seems Old Man Winter has decided not to part ways as of yet....just like a man!! LMBO!!!!  Ah, now that my coffee has been drank, I have checked out the latest on my coupon pages, and I have had my bowl of Frostes Mini Wheats..mmmm, the kind with fruit in the middle, now I can carry on with my day.  I had really hoped there would be some awesome deals out there for me to take on today but nothing I thought we couldnt live without since it is so cold and icky out. So, I will carry on with the plans that I tried to get done this weekend....posting some new items on the etsy site and getting some more aprons and things done so that I may take my wares to the flea market as soon as the weather permits.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention one great thing, business related, that happened this weekend!!  We were at the flea mkt on Saturday, checking out this booth that had all kinds of small business items, like jellies, dip mixes, and more.  We decided to give a few of the dip mixes a try and as we were checking out I told the cashier "you need a few of my handmade aprons and grocery bag holders for sale in here" she replied "sure, I'll tell her (the owner), she is always looking for new stuff from local people".  I was so excited! I gave her a business card for SewCrafty and that made my day!  I am sure that I looked like an idiot walking around grinning from ear to ear for no apparent reason. Wow! Maybe things will start picking up some now.....i dont know but we shall see!!!

Sew, sew, sew!!

I love to sew! I do not, however, enjoy using patterns! Actually, I am afraid of them, have never tried one and dont plan on it either.  That is, any store bought pattern. I do have a "pattern" I made up for my aprons, but that has been made by me, for me so I understand it fully...LOL!  I think God has allowed me to have a basic understanding of some things, I dont know that I would call it "talent" because some things I sew turn out better than others (for example, I will never be famous at dress making, but my aprons and grocery bag holders are decent).  No two aprons are alike, unless specefied in an order, I do whatever hits me at the moment.  I grab this and that, sift through buttons, look though my fabric stash until an idea hits me. I'm on my way back to finish a second apron for my cousin Tosh, then I have 3 half aprons to post on my etsy site...keep an eye out and let me know what you think!! 

So much to do.....

Wow! I really meant to keep up with this better than I have. I get so caught up with work, family and crafting that I find it hard to even think sometimes!! UGH! I need a clone! 

In the past few months I have managed to sell a few things on my etsy site, YAY! And I have started full force into the apron stage of my crafting adventure.  I posted a few pics of some I made for my dear friend Jess and it has taken off from there. (winks...thanks Jess!!)  I have orders for a few more that should keep me busy through the weekend, and I am about to head out in search of trinkets to add to them, I have soooo many ideas, we shall see what I come up with! Have a great day and God Bless you!
