Finally I have finished my woodland stuffed animals. Meet Silas the skunk, Ollie the owl and March the bunny. I had a very quick photos shoot; if you can call frantically taking pictures while tying to get you cat out of the picture, so I could preview them on here before they are for sale on Etsy. I have a bunch more owls coming I am just looking for the right buttons for the eyes and beaks. On Monday I am going to Value Village yippee and hopefully I can find some buttons.

Sewing Slump
For the last week I have been having a hard time sewing. I don't mean literal I mean that I have a hard time motivating myself to sew. It only last for a couple of hours then I start sewing again. My husband finds it rather funny because I will be sitting on the couch with my sewing things covering every surface in the room and I with have a confused looked and start whining. After I read a little bit of one of my books or play some Indiana Jones Lego then I want to start sewing again. I guess I cant really call it a slump just a lack of discipline. I think one of my problems is that I love to create new things but I start getting bored when I begin making multiple of them. If I want to be serious about this as an income then I will have to get my behind in gear.

Look and Listen
I just stumbled upon this beautiful singer and I thought Id share with the class. Her name is Christa Couture and I guess you could call her music folk but whatever it is I like it!.

To sell or not to sell...
Yay I have photos of my newest style of purse to share. I really like this one I might just keep it for myself and sell the next generation. I found the mustard material at a second hand store it was originally a wool skirt. The liner was a beautiful silk shirt that was way to big for me.
I have also been working on some stuffed animals which are turning out really good. I am going to keep them to myself until I have a few more to share and when they are up for sale. I am just figuring out the patterns and the little stories that go with them and they will be done!
