I feel like this is more of a personal blog than a promote my business blog.. but whatever!
I should be getting some work done, but I am so tired and all I can think about it sleep...but then I can't sleep because I think about all the work I have to do! Lola has been such a grump at night lately that it is really hard for me to get started at a decent time... see it's already 10...I just heard her cry, but luckily Matt was able to stop her before she went all crazy pants on us. She is the COMPLETE opposite of August when it comes to bed time, he was the best sleeping baby ever!

Anywhoo...
Got some new chevron fabric in the mail today from The Fab Store on etsy. I am excited to get my hands on some of the Riley Blake Chevron.. I knew when it first came out I should have bought a bunch, but waited and then it was sold out on so many sites! I was glad she had some, and then I also got the Robert Kaufman Remix Zig Zag (chevron) and some others. I also bought 3 different Michael Miller Guitar fabrics from Hawthorne Threads, they are one of my favorites, super fast shipping!
I'm expecting a giant order of minky, always love getting new fabric in the mail no matter what it is!
BUT I have so much that I need to figure out a different way to store it all!
I need to plan a trip to ikea so I can get another shelving unit.

Well enough about fabric... off to cut it all out!

New Items

So I've decided to start adding new items to my shop. One of the first things will be pacifier clips, and fold & roll changing pads!
Once my aunt moves here and gets her serger out, we are also going to start making swaddle blankets, and reusable wipes (I have a few for Lola that I use to wipe snot or crusty face and I LOVE them).
I also want to add crib sheets and changing pad covers!
So many fun things that I can't wait to get in the shop!

What do I post about?!

So I heard blogging is a really good way to promote yourself....but what am I suppose to write about?!
The projects I'm working on, the things I want to make but have no time...I don't know! Here are some blankets I recently finished. The last one is an organic cotton, Cloud 9, Monsterz Mash. The first one is red zig zag remix (chevron) from Robert Kaufman. I already sold the key one to a customer in Canada with the last name Keyes!



So currently I'm working on a few more blankets and then a wipeable changing pad. It is with PUL fabric and I have never used that, so I am hoping it goes smoothly. I also ordered some stuff to start making paci clips. I want to do a deal on veryjane.com (if you haven't checked out that site.. you should). Hopefully I'll get all that stuff this week, because I really want to start on it!
Other than that, I've been staying busy with orders and sewing new blankets.
