NEW BLOG

Hello all, Well this is my last post on blogger. I have made the switch to typepad. So our new blog called Everyday Beautiful can be found at this link

www.everydaybeautiful.typepad.com


The new blog (which is still a bit under construction) is going to be a little more promotional for my business stuff, but will still include our everyday lives, pics, and such! And I plan to be posting much more often! Please change your links, and visit us often!

We just finished out birthing classes and came away feeling excited and really ready to get prepared.  I know we still have 10 weeks but it could happen every time.  We brought our travel system today...#1 rated.  I like the green,  very unisex so it will last us a while.
...and I could not resist "lilly the lamb" handmade by Bitofwhimsy Dolls.  She changed the eyes from buttons to stitching so safe for baby.  How cute is she?!

1 month of business

Well sorry to all for not posting on here for a while. The culprit is my new fabric shop. It is exciting to see all the product moving. I opened up 1 month ago and have already sold 320 items. It is a nice blessing, but has been alot of work. Every night is spent cutting and packaging, and up early to the post office before work. It is fun ordering all the bolts every week and then seeing people buy the combos i put together. If you have not checked it out yet here is the link... www.fabricshoppe.etsy.com

I opened a new shop on etsy for fabric. The orders started pouring in from day one and so it is keeping us busy. I like the fabric business!

Look what I made...

I recently bought one of these tagie blankets for our baby, and decided to copy it the other day.  I think it turned out pretty good.  It was too labor intensive to sell in my etsy shop.  I am not a fan of all the measuring and such.  I also threw a few scraps onto this canvas bag.  It started out because we were planning on buying some reusable grocery bags...ya know doing a little of our part...but the bag is a bit small for that.  So it is being retired to a book bag!

mini book review


I just finished this book and really liked it. It was hard to put down. I wanted to finish it before the movie came out. It was a story of a boy growing up in Afghanistan and how his life changes when his country gets invaded. It follows him for 20 years and portrays the "baggage" he carries around his whole life because of guilt, and not being able to forgive himself. Very good story of true friendship, loyalty, and forgiveness.

New designs for 2008


, originally uploaded by jodyrow.

I restyled the burpies for the store. I did different stitching and added a tag. The tags seem to be very popular with the baby stuff! I think they turned out well.
