Goals..Dreams...

So who knew that I would love to sew...so much. And that all I could think about was my next project. Yeah, because honestly, if you would of told me what I'd be doing now... a few years ago, I'd laugh.
I guess I have always had a crafty side, I just never really dove in head first like I'm doing with this sewing stuff. I love to create and have so many ideas, but I either didn't have the tools to do it, or just didn't have the time. Now I make the time.. see what time it is!?

I have a goal....a dream..
In a year, I would like to have a fabric store online, through etsy. And in 5 years, I would like to think about opening a store front. I know the 5 year dream is a big one, but I think if I can start small, and grow each year, that maybe I will get to that point. Both kids will be in school, I'll have a little more free time on my hands (except for when the kids are in sports..which I hope they do sports!).

Anyway, thought I would share this with you.. so in a year, I'll look back at this post and hopefully say.. YES I did accomplish this goal!

Blog More!

My goal for March is to start blogging more...well we are already into the 6th day and this is my first post.. so I guess it isn't going too well!

Anyway, I have been working on adding new blankets to my etsy shop. It is funny that I started out making shoes, but then quickly decided to do bibs & burp cloths, and now I find myself doing blankets! I love doing all of them, but sometimes I'm not in the mood to deal with putting shoes together, or cutting out the bibs.

These are the first two blankets that I did and put on my etsy page. I LOVE the second one with the bears. It is so much better in person than the pictures. I almost don't want to sell it....
Hopefully tomorrow I can finish this really cute deer one, and another owl one (same print as the first, but in green and white minky) and then I have a few others, but on Thursday I am expecting a BUNCH of fabric for a few custom orders.
Well that's it for now... I promise to start blogging more!
