Ok, watch out world, I'm on Etsy

So I got a "bee in my bonnet" tonight to finally open an Etsy account to sell things I make. Wish me luck! I've only got one item in my store so far, but you gotta start somewhere, right? My genius idea (actually my genius mom's idea) is 'green' fabric gift bags that are reusable. I think I'm going to take the world by storm. I also want to sell cute baby stuff like burp cloths and clothes, but there is tons of competition in that area, so I'm hoping I may have a niche with my GreenGift bags. (No that is not copyrighted and I'm probably infringing on someone else's copyright so I'm hoping not to get sued)

My other latest FO is an outfit for a very special little boy. I used fusible webbing to applique on a T-shirt from Target and made the Huck Finn pants from Weekend Sewing again. Most of the fabric is from Honey Run Quilters in Chico and the bear is wool felt. The tent/pants fabric is really soft, perfect for a little one.

I'm also in the middle of a couple knitting projects - both hats. I stocked up on some yarn at Heartstrings in Chico and hope to do some knitting for Christmas gifts.

Speaking of Chico, we're home now after two months up north. It was a fabulous time, and I thought I would be somewhat sad after coming home. But I am perfectly content to be back. I haven't fully unpacked/recovered the house, yet, but I'm working on it (I got a little side-tracked with Etsy project). The summer is rapidly coming to an end and the year's activities are gearing up, but I'm looking forward to it. We hadthe chance to truly relax and have fun together as a family, and I'm ready for whatever comes next! I'm most looking forward to starting back up in CBS Bible Study, I get so much out of it and love all the women that are in it, too. Can't wait to see what God has in store for our family this coming school year.
