The Big Launch!

Hi all,

Do you see my big news!!! Over to the left….

It all started with these – covered notebooks.

December 2011 014

I was making TP’s end of year presents for his teachers. And I really love the process of starting with scraps or small pieces and seeing were I end up.

I loved quilting them and adding the embellishments – ric rac, buttons, flowers.

And I thought “I wonder if I could sell these?” and I asked a couple of people and got some good feedback. So I am launching my very own (holy cow!) etsy shop!

Jump on over and have a look! If you know anyone who is looking for quality gifts or even for some self-spoiling (is that a word?) send them to visit me! I will be adding more items regularly….I have a million ideas racing around in my head!

I might even have a giveaway to celebrate! Keep an eye out for that soon!

I feel like I have done the NASA countdown for my own shop….so exciting….I think I need a glass of wine now to calm my nerves!

Congratulations, what a great idea for you, given you dont live in a city, but you can still have a shop...and not pay rent, or have to open at 9am! Hmmm,I look forward to hearing how it goes because you have really got me thinking...and I do live in the city! Follow your dreams. Happy quilting, Sue SA.
