Powering Through

I've not been around for awhile. I have been immersed in sewing for a while. I got some bad news that a very good friend of mine has cancer. She has to children 1 and 5. I am still trying to wrap my head around the news of this. Still trying to figure out where I can be a support for her and her family without being a constant reminder of what she's living right now.

So, I have kind of thrown myself into sewing a lot more. I also decided to participate in the holiday craft fair that my son's school is putting on. I figure it's a good way to have something to really create for and to get myself out there locally and not just on the internet. I am trying to streamline my process instead of trying to work on several different things at a time. I am pretty confident I will have enough inventory to bring so I won't be stressing at the last minute trying to prepare for that.

I sold my first baby crinkle toy/monster combo today, it went all the way to Georgia. So today I have been focusing on just making the crinkle toys.

I still need to make some monsters to go with them, but I am pretty happy with them. I am also pretty happy that I am using recycled materials for all of this stuff and only buying new if I absolutely need to. 

I am finding the a handful of new ideas show up at times as I go along which feels pretty good, keeps me from me from feeling stuck.
