Run, Run, Run!

I am almost done with my gown. Now its off to the fabric store to get some stuff for the finishing touches. I can't wait! Also have to do other less interesting errands like grocery store and post office, but I guess that is life. Baby is up a raring to go, so we're off!

So excited

Well, I am sooooo excited. I have been working all day on an eighteenth century gown. I have a reenactment to go to in two weeks and none of my clothes fit anymore. (Something to do with having a baby...) So with some help from my wonderful mother in law I am now about half way done. When it is finished, I will be sure to post pictures.

My mother in law is an expert on all things eighteenth century. Especially clothing and textiles. If you are interested in these things, you can go to her website http://www.pinetreeshilling.com/
She also has a wonderful quarterly publication.

Thats all for now!

The Latest

I just finished with my newest creation so here it is:http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=26562686
1 goal down, umpteen more to go...

Lofty goals

Well, I have got some lofty goals today...we'll see what happens. But for now a story. I was delivering gas to a customer late one night. These kids pulled on to fill up (it was a Friday or a Saturday) and the finish up. The pull out directly on top of one of my bright orange traffic cones. They were in line to hit another, and cause worse damage so I went running to them to point out the next cone. The kid looks at me ad says, "you should have put a cone out" and I said "what do you think you just ran over?" Sometimes you just have to wonder a little about people...

Finally

I finally finished my newest piece. It took a while. Check it out. I am really rather proud of them!

Back Again

Well, I had to work yesterday. Not what I really wanted to do...My truck got stopped and inspected, but I got off pretty easy on that. I still lost over an hour of time. Oh well. Still working on those booties. must get them done soon.

Another First

I have finally got my first sale shipped today. It was a custom item and it was so much fun to make. You can see it here http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=16183046
I have to admit I am excited and a bit proud. I am working on a pair of reversible silk baby booties. I think they will come out really well. Hopefully they will be finished within the next couple of days. I will post them here as well, when I am done. Thats all for now.
