Eco Felt Xmas Tree Ornaments

 

Whew! November was certainly a busy month! Now Xmas is fast approaching and it's the scramble to get everything ready! Between taking care of orders, the house, shopping, baking, it's just been crazy! I was super excited to get featured on RVAnews.com recently with a bunch of other fantastic local VA Etsy sellers! Check out the article! I also hope to do a shop update sometime this week which will include some new brooches & hoops. I'm looking forward to the new year - I have some exciting new goodies to introduce including some new cell/gadget cozies and have finally decided that I am going to start offering patterns! So be on the look out in January!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am still full from the feast this afternoon but I had to go back for at least one more piece of pumpkin pie! Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!

The calm before the holiday storm....

I can't wait for Thanksgiving & Xmas, I have to say I love the holiday season and can't wait for the pig outs & presents! Haven't gotten around to putting up Xmas decorations or the Tree but hopefully soon, maybe this weekend! I have managed to get about 70% of my holiday shopping done & mostly online! Do you do more holiday shopping online or in stores? Everyone says "Oh, I like the atmosphere & decorations, puts me in the holiday mood to shop the stores," personally there's something about that 20 person long line in an overly warm Kohl's that takes the cheer right out of it for me :D! I love online shopping!

 Anyhow, I'll be baking it up tomorrow making Pumkpin Bread (Libby's) & Lemon Thyme Bread for Thanksgiving and working on Owl Iphone Cozies to fill the orders that are piling up! (Seriously, that many phone cozies?!) It's so difficult being a one woman show during the holidays, I need some little elves! My arm hurts, for real.

I wish I could get this Turkish Crafty Blogger over here to lend a helping hand! Here's her version of my owl iphone cozies! (And this isn't a diss for copying my work, I actually think its fun & flattering, and really who cares?). Makes me wonder if I shouldn't start selling patterns? I miss coming up with new designs all the time - have sooo many cute things in mind that I never have time for or I make prototypes and they never make it in the shop. Might be a good way for me to get my creative juices flowing again! 

Any thoughts out there? Would you be interested in patterns if I started making them? Would you prefer embroidery sheets (a page of fun & random designs) or full projects (softies, cozies, pins, etc.)?  I've been seriously considering it lately!
