Coming Soon! Trevor the Turtle!

My nephew Blayne is turning 1 this month and I wanted to send him something special. Ive had this idea of this turtle swimming in my head for a while now and then last night my mom gave me a big bag containing my Dad's old Ties. Perfect!! A little recycled fleece blanket and grandpa's Ties and Trevor the Turtle came to life. I love how he turned out! I hope Blayne does too!

The Bijou Market

I could not have asked for a better salesman!!

I decided I needed more things than just kid's stuff, so, I whipped up some recycled sweater reversible fingerless gloves. Super warm and comfy.

The snakes were a big hit with the kid's! They kept walking off with them and their mom's had to bring them back. Although 2 mom's gave in!

I participated in my first large scale local market. The day was great! There was tons of traffic and I got alot of great response and orders. Thanks to my best friend Tally for keeping me company and being my slave labor. I dont know what I would have done without her!

I actually got invited to do 5 different shows!

This last few months has been a crazy baby bootie making blur!! I estimated the other day that Ive probably sewn over 75 pairs. Thanks to everyone for their support and excitement and of course orders!! It's been exciting and overwhelming. Special thanks to Ithinksew.com for such an awesome pattern.
