what's up?

i am planning a baby shower for my sis, who is expecting twin girls!  could there be anything else dearer to plan??

i think not.  i am joyfully writing out invitations today (and yesterday, the day before, etc. cause my hand cramps after about 10)  i hope to wrap it all up by tomorrow:)

 

the shower colors are really lavender and purple with a splash of orange, but i'm stretching things just a bit with the invitations because they are so happy!

next up, i have been busy with wallets.

you know what's weird?  for the past 3 weeks, i have sold huge quantities of yellow and grey items. the only thing not yellow and grey is featured below:)  perhaps someone didn't get the early spring shopping memo?  just kidding!

but seriously, it's got me wondering if some great fashion house proclaimed yellow/grey combos are it for spring...

what are you up to?

front page news

so it's not exactly front page of something earth shattering...

but i was happy none the less!

my chevron stripe clutches made it on the front page:)  so humbling.

are you surprised that i'm not sick of sewing these yet?  (me too!)

i tend to only make things a few times and then move on.  this little bag has kept my favor for a longer spell though.

what i found this morning

every morning (at some point)  i check my email and etsy shops.

many days, i find that my work has been featured in someone's lovely treasury collection on etsy.

this is great for two reasons:

first, it's soo humbling to know that someone likes what you make! and that they like it enough to put it in a list of their 16 favorite items??  feels like a warm hug:)

second, these treasury lists are carefully curated groups of fabulous finds all put together for us to appreciate!  no searching or digging required!

here are a couple of wonderful finds that i was greeted with this morning:

amazing fondant icing chevron brownie toppers!  yes please:) by TwoSugarBabies




this is an awesome custom print that made me laugh:

custom print by NaptimeDiaries

by the way, Jessi from naptime diaries is a lovely, lovely girl with a lovely, lovely blog!  check her out!



lastly, this is an amazing book that i am reading every morning right now:

it was given to me by a dear sweet friend, who is the most beautiful person!  and this book is kicking my butt!  every morning.
if you haven't seen it or read it yet...go get one!  and i am going to buy one for a friend (or two) and pass along this treasure that was passed along to me.

blessings!
