Finished Project Friday: More, and More Sandwich Bags

Image
By


A couple weeks ago, Andrew's teacher "placed an order" for some reusable sandwich bags and wraps for a baby shower for another teacher at the school.  I had no idea how much of a hit they would be!  She said that all of the teachers loved them and were interested in buying some. 




Andrew's teacher said that if I wanted to put together a flier, she would pass it around.  Well, I didn't get that flier finished before my children went to school yesterday, but I did get their teacher gifts finished ... just in the nick of time, too, as it was their last day.  One of the teachers Eliza gave the sandwich bags to was ecstatic ... she must have been at the baby shower.  Andrew's teacher was convinced that I could start up my own business just by selling these bags to the teachers at their school  .... maybe one day.  I'm still not sure I really want to do it ... I enjoy my freedom too much.

I can understand why you would hesitate to make a business out of it: it might suck the enjoyment out of the project, too...I feel that way when I have composed piano music. I enjoy doing it, but I don't necessarily want to make an album and try to market it and then have the pressure of coming out with something new every year...I want to do it when I want to and the way I want to. :)

You ARE talented...I had no idea how talented until you started your blog. I think it's wonderful the things you have learned to do that have made so many other people so happy! :) :)

Amazing Marisa! I can't say that enough!! They are very, very cute! I'm the same way about starting my own design business. I like doing it, but I'm not sure I want to do it full time. I like being able to pick and choose when and how I do things. :) But they are wonderful! You could always just make them in batches and sell them at home shows. . .things like that. :) AMAZING!!

Blogiversary

By
Today is my blogiversary! One year ago today I switched my blog over to Blogger. To celebrate, I want to do a little drawing for all my friends and family! I haven't yet decided what the winner will get ... I think it depends on who the winner is (I don't want to send a crayon roll to someone without children, or an apron to my brother, etc.). Rest assured though, that the winner will get something homemade from me, just as a little thank you for being my friend! So, start commenting ... and I'll send the total number of comments I receive by next Wednesday at 11:59 CST through random.org, then announce the winner next Thursday.

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

Finished Project Friday: Maryanne's Blessing Dress

By
(I know it's not really Friday, but I just finished this today and couldn't wait to show ya'll .) I finished Maryanne's blessing dress early! Well, what you would call early for me. When I made Andrew's blessing romper I was pounding in the snaps around the legs and on the back around 9:00 the Saturday night before he was blessed. So, to have Maryanne's dress done a week before her blessing is really good for me. This pattern was a challenge for me because the directions weren't very explicit, but after I did what I was supposed to they totally made sense. And, I forgot how to make button holes, so that was an adventure. This was the first time I've ever used lace on a project, and I'm really pleased with the outcome. You can't see it, but the slip has lace along the bottom edge, and I was supposed to put lace on the collar but opted it out and like it much better that way. I also made a little jacket or " saque " for her out of fla...
