Things that have made me happy recently

  • Hip­pos! Yay! My Grandma sent me this adorable fam­ily of hip­pos as a Mother’s Day present. Aren’t they cute? Now I just need to find a home for the rest of my hippos.

  • My abil­ity to suc­cess­fully com­plete a dou­ble welt pocket, as demon­strated here:

  • I received my Spoon­flower Beta invi­ta­tion! I am so excited to try and get some­thing of my own printed. I am think­ing I’d like to do some logos and what not to stitch onto my com­pleted projects. Heaven for­bid some­one come across one of my aprons when I’m dead and gone and not know who made it. That would be a shame. Plus, I’m really get­ting to the point where I’d like to start get­ting some stuff done for my Etsy shop. I really like to have things tagged and labeled. It seems to up the pro­fes­sion­al­ity, ya know?  My biggest con­cern with pre­mak­ing things to put in a shop is what if it doesn’t sell and it just sits there? Espe­cially if it’s girl clothes — I have no use for those unfortunately.

  • I also got my Rav­elry invite, but it’ll be awhile before I actu­ally get any­thing going in there.

  • I’m excited to get started on the Mar­ket Tote Swap. No last min­utes for me this time. I’m get­ting it done and out of here. I need to make some stuff for myself for a change.

  • I thought I had more than that but I guess not. I’ve got a big post in the works on sewing FAQS and another on ‘Pretty vs Func­tional’. Maybe you guys can weigh in with me and con­vince Matt that I need to have free dec­o­rat­ing reign on the ENTIRE house. icon biggrin Things that have made me happy recently
