A little Etsy Shop opened

Happy New Year!  I've finally made it back! I've been busy with a lot happening. I have opened an Etsy Shop this year! I had decided that in 2013 I would open a shop on Etsy and as the weather has been rather hot lately I opened it on Jan 2nd. I'm so onto my resolutions for this year... it's probably the only one that will be done so promptly and not so much a resolution as an aim for 2013. (don't really make resolutions actually!!) Anyway it will be an on going aim throughout the year. It's very similar to my Made it shop, with a few new items starting out there, but I'll have a worldwide audience. It's a bit exciting!!

Here's a new pink Sleepy Bird I made last week for the Etsy shop, I'm a bit back into pink lately.

Early Christmas present

 

 I had an early Christmas present last week... a massive donation of fabric from a friend who was given it from their friend...!! I love it when people have too much fabric and feel the need to give it away. This is just a very small pile of the amount I was given. So inspiring to be given piles of fabric!! I left it sitting in the living room  for a few days just looking at it, mixing and matching colours and imagining what I could make with it. So many ideas came up, I'll have to get sewing again.

Elephants and apples

 Some cute elephants on these cushions eating apples. These would go nicely in my son's room as he already has quite a few elephants in there in various forms! these are available here

Old favourites and new obsessions

 Still making cushions... I think it's addictive and somewhat theraputic!! I have so much fabric, so many colour combinations and options, it's never ending! A bit of pink with orange, an old favourite with a current obsession.....

Elephant stack

Today this Elephant Stack in blue is featured on the front page of the made it website. Always exciting when something is featured as I know more people view my store that way!

A friend for yellow sleepy bunny

I took a break from making cushions and made a friend for the yellow sleepy bunny I had made previously. It's a pink version! Not too many pink things get made these days but I couldn't resist these pink stripes on a recent pop in to a fabric store. I think I make things that could go in my boys rooms if they don't get given as a gift or put in the made it store! These will be for sale soon and I am making some pink cushions also! Pink is making a comeback!

Green raindrops

 

This is a pair of cushions I made as a custom order for a lovely customer! The raindrops have been appliqued on to compliment the raindrop fabric. I love green but wouldn't wear it with my skin tone... much like yellow!! Home decor and decorating is always a great option for green for me, as is dressing your children in it!
