Etsy front page!

I was super excited to see that a treasury I made a couple of days ago made the Etsy front page! Since none of my own items were in the treasury I can't really brag about my stuff being front page news but cool stuff I picked out was! (Isn't that beetle display peculiarly cute??)

The bounty of Worm Hollow Farm & a Thank me later Thursday







So, awhile back I posted a pic of the barren land that was to be our plot in the brand spankin' new community garden in our neighborhood.  In the meantime, my beau has tirelessly given it lots of TLC this summer (and a little water) and lo and behold, a garden sprang up! He coined our plot Worm Hollow Farm and made a cute sign that says so.

My "Thank Me Later" tip this week (geez, I've been behind on that, haven't I??) is....
  • You must download Adele's album "21". I promise, you won't regret it.

A couple o' finished tea towels




It was so hot in Virginia today I had to wait quite awhile once I got the camera outside for the fog to disappear from the lens! Just listed Rapunzel in my etsy shop...

Back in the saddle



Well, it's been awhile since I've been in the sewing seat and today I finally sat for a spell. I can't say that I created anything complex -- I just whipped up some dish towels but hey, it was something. Last week I got some of Heather Ross's latest fabric from "Far Far Away III" and am smitten. I couldn't bring myself to take the scissors to it quite yet so I settled for making some towels with some of her "Far Far Away II" line that I still have on hand.

Now I just need to take some decent pics of the finished towels so I can list them in my etsy shop but it seems the sun went down and the weekend got away from me!
