Weeeeee!

Here are the latest iterations of pretty pretty dishes. They are for sale on my etsy and, more importantly, will be for sale at Craft Saturday from 12-6 PM THIS SATURDASY (the 30th) at the 4th St. Theatre in Des Moines.

There are 4 new springtime flowers stoneware plates — slightly different versions of a floral pattern (sans music by popular request). Also, I have 8 of the little birdies cup and saucer sets on cute pastel dinnerware.

There just aren’t enough fabrics with birdies on them, so I decided to try my hand at Spoonflower and see if I could turn my little birdies into some cute fabric.

Check it out. Birdies!

I did a few versions of my birdies. Kind of excited to see them in person.

Yay! I’m excited that I finally got around to making my lovely cake stands from vintage plates and milk glass bud vases. They turned out beautiful and eclectic.

I’m  not sure where I’m going to sell them other than at local craft shows — I don’t trust the USPS to get these shipped in one piece. They’re also really heavy, so shipping would be super expensive.

What do you guys think? I have 2 more that I didn’t photograph, but I would love to make more!

FINALLY I get to blog about this! 

I had a baby shower for my friend Lindsay today and I made her little man a few onsies and a couple for my niece. I couldn’t blog about it until now because I was afraid she might see.  I tweeted about it a while back because I figured she isn’t on twitter, so she wouldn’t see.

Without further ado, here are my onsies!

I’ve had a few requests for me to post a listing for these on my etsy store, but I had to hand stitch these and for now, it’s not really an option for me since I don’t have that kind of time (or won’t shortly since my co-worker will be leaving soon so I may have more to do at work). 

I might list the ones with the ties. Those I can machine stitch – but my machine is broken right now, so it doesn’t really even matter! I’ll have to wait to see when I get a new machine. Maybe the new machine will work better and do tighter curves so I may be able to machine stitch the whole thing.
