Branching out!

I made my first baby blanket to add to my Wunzees Etsy shop. I finally busted out the sewing machine that Mick bought me, and put it to work with some of my fabric that has just been siting around, waiting to be used. I can see that this is a learning curve but I liked my first attempt so much that I am selling it.

Expect to see more blankets from me. It was fun, a challenge, and while many may be laughing at how I'm making a big deal out of something so simple....I've been doing nothing but hand-stitching till now. The Brother sewing machine may become my new best friend (if I can find my misplaced instruction manual) :)


What do you think??

Etsy Tag Monday: Blimp

Todays Etsy tag was chosen by Mick. Blimp is currently his favorite word to say, and who doesn't like a good Zepplin. So, Blimp it became. There aren't too many items tagged with the word, so I didn't have a ton to choose from, but the stuff was all quality. So here goes.

Love the old vintage suitcase. I actually regret not buying an amazing one I saw at a consignment shop, but it wasn't nearly as good of quality as this one sold by BrightWall. I love the simplicity of the stencil.

It wouldn't be my blog if I didn't bring in something great for the kiddos, but this baby's blanket by Mommys Lil Monkey is such a great fabric. I love the planes, blimps, hot air balloons, and I especially love the colors. For $10, it is definitely a steal.

I noticed when searching for the word Blimp, that there was quite a bit of SteamPunk style items. This necklace caught my eye. Gorgeous vintage pendant, made current. Cosmic Firefly's site appears to be pretty new, and if payday comes around and this Owl Pendant is still available, I may be purchasing it for myself.

OR....just keep it simple with a card. The Little Chickadee has all sorts of cute goodies.
