A little about the Store

How long have you been on etsy? since march 12th of this year

What exactly do you do (What do you make?): i make baby gifts: bib sets, burp cloths, lovies, blankets and gift sets. I also make tote bags of all sizes. I have small pouch bags, tiny totes, purses for little girls, medium totes and large carry all totes. I just started making little boy "stuff holders" - kind of like a tool belt but with more pockets - we can't call it an apron can we? :)

How did you first pick up your craft? Well I grew up watching my mom sew, quilt, smock, you name it - while I was growing up. I have always been interested in it and experimented here and there with the sewing machine. When I was about 9 years old my neighbor taught my how to cross stitch and I loved playing with the embroidery floss - which is why I use it in some of my items I make. I started sewing more when I was pregnant with my son and again when my husband was deployed. This past Christmas I started up again and haven't stopped since!

Favorite thing about it: The process is relaxing and the final result is so fulfilling. I also love that I can be challenged by a project as well, like when a friend asked if I could make totes that matched the pouches I made, I had to figure out the dimensions, where to stitch, where to snip, how to install the straps, etc, etc...I've had numerous requests for aprons so I am going to try to draw up some patterns soon.

Any inspirations? My mom and all other crafters out there. It is amazing what we can make when we put our minds and imaginations to it.
