{What I’ve Been Working On}

So far this week has kept me very busy!

I’ve been finishing up my custom orders for the month. Ever wonder how I do custom orders? Well, I limit myself to 3-4 per month. Otherwise they take too much time away from my ready to ship item schedule. So if you ever want to place a custom order…get it in towards the first of the month :) Here are the orders I’ve been working on…

Checkbook Cover for a friend from church

Ruffley Tote for Dolce Vita Mia…I BIG FAT PUFFY HEART how this came out! You might be seeing them in the shop soon!

St. Patty’s Day Shabby Blossom Hairclips for some sweet little girls!

Tissue box cover {Amy Butler Pattern} for another church friend.

Once I finish up these orders I will start working on my very fist wholesale order! Yep, you read that right…Sew Chatty goodness will now be available at a local {Orange County, CA} handmade and vintage shop! I am beyond excited about this endeavor! This first order will include Patchwork Coasters and Dishtowels, Burlap Market Totes, Coffee Cuffs, and Covered Notebooks. More details on the shop opening soon!

Lastly, I am teaching myself to crochet. My son has occupational therapy appointments during the week that leave me sitting in a waiting room for an hour at a time…so why not keep myself busy! My friend is an awesome crocheter and she came over on Sunday to refresh my memory on some of the basics. Look what I made…

It’s a crocheted cookie :) Now I want cookies. Real Ones. I decided my first official project is going to be a cowl. I love this pattern. You can find it here.

Hope mine comes out okay! Here’s what I have so far…

Well that’s what I’ve been working on. What have you been working on???

Sneaky Peak at Sew Chatty’s new look!

I’m giving my products a little makeover :) Why? Well, a few reasons really..only one of which is the fact that I suffer from ADD! The handmade industry is becoming increasingly competitive and I want to make sure my items are unique and stand out from the rest of the pack. I want them to be reflective of me and my style. Remember this tote? 

This will be the new look of the majority of Sew Chatty products going forward. Natural canvas mixed with pretty designer fabrics. Mostly casual with a touch of fancy. That’s me. Here is a sneak peak of a few new things I’ve been working on…

{these will be giveaway items for various blog giveaways I am participating in so stay tuned for details on how you can make them yours}

  

  

I hope you like the new look! I am working hard this week to get the shop stocked with some pretty goodies just for you…and YES, the Shabby Blossom Tote will be one of the new items to look forward to!
