My New Adventure

STITCHING

Kayden's blanket is done! I think from the picture you can see how big it is. As big as Bob who is holding it LOL!
While stitching on his blanket, Kayden liked setting by me and he wanted to be covered up with the blanket while I stitched. A couple of times while I was stitching he would put his finger on the pattern and move it over a little, like he was counting stitching. I wonder where he got that from. Tee-Hee.

After finishing the blanket I stitched the name tag for the ILCS retreat, on my bag.

It has snowed everyday this week! Longing for summer I pulled out a few summer patterns and finished the 3 pictured above.

The pattern is call "Flip Flop Summer Trio" by Pickle Barrel Designs. It got the pattern from one of the ILCS retreats. The material I dyed myself at one of the Hoosier Stitchers retreats.

Still need press the pieces and get the beach ball button. On the last one pictured I changed it from "Flip flop" to Splash and added a charm that I had in my stash.

I think I'll be hanging these in Bob shop. There are are two entrances to the shop. Enter through the main door, to the right is his shop's door and if you go the other way down the hall is another door. There are 3 shops in the building. One is a pet shop and the other is a dog grooming shop. So anyone that is coming in to the other shops will know that we are there too. LOL!

BEADING & ETSY

Also did a little beading this week made two beaded fobs.

Added the red & white one to my shop.

Then I made 4 ID lanyards and I have added the blue, green and red to the shop.

I would like to think everyone that voted for my Star Necklace at Studio Haus blog. I won and she put a link to my shop on her shop's announcements.

Today is the last day of Feb and I am sad to say that I had ZERO sales this week. I can't think of anything different I did this month. Hope next month goes better.

MY NEW ADVENTURE

Friday morning as I was going through my regular computer routine, I found a new post on The InCrowdTeam board. Serena posted that she had a booth space open in her shop in Indianapolis and was offering it to anyone in the group that would be interested. Of course I had to reply and find out all the info I could. We have been chatting back and forth through emails and she sent me pictures of her shop. The picture below is the spot I will be taking over.

I plan to make the trip with all my stuff Wednesday. So I have been working my tail off trying to get everything ready. I had to pull several items from my Etsy shop, get it all tagged. Called all my sisters and my Mom to see if they had anything I could borrow to help set up my table.

So today I will be driving all over Northern Indiana to pick up things to help set up my table.
