Helllooooo! I have been busy busy building my second shop on etsy. I think I'll be ready to give the big shout out by Tuesday night. In the meantime, I rec'd the lovelies that I ordered from beth and suzy. I was the first buyer at each of their new etsy stores last weekend! Here's the wonderful bag that Beth made.
It's great buying things from other crafters...I always get good ideas for packaging and presentation (especially from these two gals!) and it just feels good to support each other. I also adore this craft apron that Suzy made. Just a perfect mix of fabrics old and new, and the workmanship! This is the finest constructed apron I ever did see!:
As mentioned in my previous post I won the vintage sewing basket drawing on Suzy's blog. I'd have been happy with that basket alone it's so dang cute! but look at all the goodies that came inside!
Very generous. Love it all! Thanks again, Suzy!
I think my happiest internet shopping is spent over at superbuzzy. So fun looking at the new fabrics. It's usually pretty difficult to stay within a budget there. Great packaging, super fast shipping, I just really love superbuzzy! Here's the stack I rec'd a couple days ago...
Do they not make you want to just spend all day cutting and sewing?! Oh, they do me! Truth be told; I'd just about rather do anything than the necessary house cleaning I have to begin today, in anticipation of company all week! Better get crackin'. Be back in a couple days with the big announcement!
You have lots of great new goodies!
Oh - I love Superbuzzy, too. Soooo many adorable fabrics. Please show us what you make with those : )
