Ah, took a little blog vacation there…

Thanks to Llum for stopping by!  I’m a big fan of your clothes.  Infact, we love *this outfit* so much, I’ll probably buy the next size up when baby M outgrows the one she has now.  : )

___________________________________________________________

We’re having nicer weather here in Seattle (though you wouldn’t know it this morning…), alot more sunshine – good weather for an impromptu stroll once or twice a day.

This is a funny time of year for my shop.  Things slow down as folks go outside and get away from their computers.  I use this time to make more things, in preparation for the fall and holidays.  And for some reason, I usually get a wave of custom order requests this time of year.  Right now I have requests for custom bookmarks, a needlebook and a project tote.

And as soon as the baby lays down for a nap, I’ve been picking up my embroidery and working on these critters:

Dog

Bunny

Mouse

Hedgie

Kitty and..

Bird.

These embroideries will be part of a new line of items for my shop: iPhone cases!

Now that the embroidery is finished, I’ll sew up the cases, photograph them and then add them to my shop.

Thank goodness babies take naps!  ; )

Hello everyone!

I’ve had a busy time over here – getting out Issue #1 of my newsletter, shopping for birthday gifts for friends and family over the weekend (now I’ve got to box them up to take to the post office tomorrow) and yesterday I made cupcakes for Josh to take to work with him (Carrot Cake Cupcakes from Ina’s “The Barefoot Contessa Parties!”)

All this time I’ve been working on a secret embroidery project. I’ve been so excited to share it with you, but I’ve been waiting until I had them all finished. So, without further ado, here is my latest project: hand embroidered bookmarks!

Ginger Kitten,

Cinnamon Kitten,

Sugar Kitten,

Pepper Kitten,

& Nutmeg Kitten.

Word-Bot,

Page-Bot,

Type-Bot,

& Chapter-Bot.

I’ve just finished a *huge shop update* – you can check them out in more detail there.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a terrific day!

Best, Jenn : )
