Making stuff

Well Christmas is around the corner and I am having withdrawal from my little studio in the basement. I am making blankets for the cradle and doll bed I bought from the One of a Kind show for Summer and Penny. I would like to also make Reed a superhero cape but realistically that is not going to happen. I have one monkey left and it is going to be Penny's! I can't sell her.

I just read someone else's blog and realized that mine is boring. I think my New Year's resolution is to become more focused on my blog and my etsy.

I am buying lights so that I can take some wicked photos of my work. I give up on trying to rig something up every time!

Love,
Heidi

One of a Kind show


The One of a Kind show came and went already! I had to sew every night to keep my booth full. The owls, monkeys, pillows, and stockings were a hit!
I only sold a few ottomans but I guess not that many people wanted to carry a piece of furniture on the TTC. LOL The owl ottomans were the most popular.
I resigned for next year, but decided against the Spring Show. It would be wayyyy too insane for me to attempt to make enough to stock my booth in time.
Ironically I received the Sheridan catalogue for the night courses in the mail today. I think I am going to sign up to print there again. That worked out really well for me.
I have a million ideas..maybe 2 million. Better get started!

Oh, and I met tonnes of amazing artists and fantastic people. It was a great week, although I missed the munchkins like crazy.
