Baby Boy "Blues", Sorta'

No baby blues here, at least not in the typical sense!

This set of twelve adorable blue baby boy gift tags found their way to Blacksburg, Virginia last weekend...thanks, Diane!


They also come in pink for the little sugar and spice baby girls!  

Stop on by FromMyCottage.etsy.com and take a look around...lots of colorful creations!

Hi! Happy First-Day-Of-Spring-Eve!  

Here are a few of the most recently listed items in my Etsy shop...






...and my most recently SOLD item!


The pendants are actually images of nebula from out in the Universe!  I just love the colors and designs...there's no way to improve upon God's own creations.

Oops! :-(

I was so very excited yesterday when I found not one, but TWO adorable and quirky fabrics for some new pillows!

I hadn't yet ironed the fabrics yet, but you can see how wicked cute and colorful they are!



I started working on the pillow covers today, but my head was foggy, preoccupied and not where it should have been.  I should have known enough to put everything away and read or something, but I didn't.  I persevered, or so I thought.

Instead, I ended up wasting most of the fabric because I made mistakes in cutting.  

I came pretty close to crying.  

It will take me awhile to get over my mistake, but til then, I'm only going to read this weekend, not sew.  

Some days are better than others.

Lord, may my problems always be this insignificant.  Amen.

SOLD!

Hi!  I've been a little slow in the Etsy sales department lately, but that's ok.  It's a hobby for me, not a "job", so a little down-time is a good thing.

Part of me is hoping to find my niche, an item that fills me up so much that it's all I want to do! But the other part of me is quite happy being a craft-hopper, so here I am!

Newest items sold...


...black and white, pooch and kitty pillow cover, handmade, just for you!  Fits a 14" x 14" pillow form.  This sweet pillow cover made its way to South Carolina...thanks Karon!


...set of twelve gift card-size Spiderman envelopes!  How cool are these?!  Each envelope measures 3" x 4" and will hold a standard size gift card.  They found their way to Staten Island...thanks William!


...last but not least, these aDOGable (oy!) Chihuahua gift card envelopes made using upcycled calendar pages!  These are so cute for anyone who loves dogs, especially Chihuahuas!  These found their way to a town that's close by...thanks Jill! 

I'm not sure what my next crafting venture is going to be; I'm still liking the pillow covers though, so maybe I'll continue on with those.  

Here are a few of my newest additions...




...each of these fits a 16" x 16" pillow form and all are washable.  They are a great way to freshen up your rooms!

Enjoy!
