it's about time...



it's been awhile folks. pardon my neglect on here and in  my shop .... all that is about to change though, so yay!  We are finally moved... unpacked no, but moved yes. It's been a crazy week of still wondering why we have so much stuff, getting the kids accustomed to a new house, harvey crawling for the first time and cutting his first tooth (which is just awesome for moving purposes might i add), learning where all the places to get the goods are, and on top of that just doing our day to day routine... which is slightly off still due to the time change.  All that said and done I am ready to get back to work... this time off has really given me the opprotunity to reevaluate my shop and sewing - and i must say i am so excited for the next couple of months ahead.
I have a wonderful website that is in the works... I am switching my entire shop focus to bags of all sizes... and I am getting ready to sell my things in a storefront in Indiana. For the moment my biggest challenge is trying to find the best spot in this new house to take my pictures... I have yet to find it. anyhoo.. here is a little photo montage of what has been going on...

we have a home - -

well folks the search is over....
we found a house.
this takes a huge weight off my shoulders.  i had lost my packing momentum for a while, because it seems silly to pack and have nowhere to take it, but now we do.... and it is the cutest little piece of 1940's home pie!
i will have to post pictures when we get to getting down there... we still have some things to finish here for the moment, but in two weeks time we will have a new home. a home that comes with arched doorways, thick wood trim all around, and built ins galore - all this makes my heart happy. i do believe one thing i was the most excited about is the fact i will finally have a dining room - not some corner in the kitchen - and not only that but the room also has a built in china cabinet, yeehoo! i have my parents old wedding china i have long wanted to put out, and never had the space for it.... so let me repeat.. heart happy!
all this has put a strain on my shop upkeep. so i apologize for how slowly it is being restocked ... trust me once i get settled i will sew like a madwoman... because, yep, i get my own sewing room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- i'm not sure if that is even enough exclamation points on that one.
so in the meantime i am finishing up the last of my custom orders... making a couple of new bags and pins.. then i will be busy unpacking and decorating all new wall space.
however don't fret, the shop will remain open!
happy week everyone.
oh and because it is funny...
ken suffered a tragic event at our house this week...
