Long Over Due

I am SO tardy in getting back here to report on the pear wine. It's been over a year since we made it. We didn't much like it to drink. I don't think there's enough flavor in pears to make good wine. We should know..we're experts by now...I mean...we've made it twice! 

In the last few months I have been adding some baby items to my Etsy shop and sales have started to pick up. I love making baby things, so it doesn't seem like work when I am sewing for the shop. The part I dread is making and editing the photos, writing descriptions, etc. All the things you have to do to list an item. It's very time consuming. I'd rather be sewing. : )

Last year I made purses for our girls for their birthdays. Three of them are Alabama fans and so I made theirs with black and white houndstooth with either red or crimson lining and lots of pockets.

Actually I've only made two of those.  I still have one more Bama purse to make for our oldest. Her birthday was December 23rd. She's very patient. Bless her heart. The other daughter wanted a brown canvas messenger style bag. I used an argyle print for the lining and added an adjustable strap.

Currently I am working on a custom order for pacifier clips. I just listed the samples in my shop this evening. The buyer is in New York and is working with a designer. It is potentially a large order. Maybe it will lead to other things. I could certainly use the work.

I'll try to get back soon and blog about something interesting. Maybe something exciting will happen and I won't be able to sit still til I blog about it. You think? : )

Have a great day!
