I have been busy doing a lot of sewing - a lot! I have some fun stuff to share with you today! I just finished these pillows. Seriously, it only took about 15 minutes on each pillow - plus about 10 more for the flower on the front. What do you think? If you would like the link to where I found the flower button tutorial click HERE.
I am 90% finished with this advent calendar that I found on Mique's 30 days of Christmas. She collects craft links for everyone - she's done the work for us! The only thing I have left to do on these is to find someway of numbering the pouches. I am in search for some numbered charms to hang down from the button - instead of doing more cuttin! In ideas as to where I can find something like this?
I spent most of today doing a last minute job on my Pink Christmas gift. I really should be "Last minute Michelle", but at least it's almost finished. I can't mail anything until this weekend anyway when I'm in the states! I'm almost there Kristi!
Now, for something I've been wanting to share with you! Check out this soap! Isn't so----delectable! Wow, I found this at Covent Gardens in London. I've never seen anything quite like this - what do you think? Do you have a soap link that is similar to this? I couldn't find her online - I think she's just at her stand at Covent Gardens. The flavors are Rose Geranium, Lavender, Orange Marigold Soap, and Peppermint. This picture is for everyone - but I just had to show this to my sister, she makes really great smelling soap and this would be so fun for her to make.
Craig has been working non-stop this week - last night up until 3 a.m. in the morning in our home office and tonight he is at it again. Lots of stuff coming down- too bad it's in December though. The girls and I walked to the train tonight and rode it to Gare Central, to the underground shopping malls here and met Craig for dinner. It was a lot of fun, but very frustrating trying to get the girls out the door, and once out the door - to continuously stop them from playing the snow, because the were sans snow pants. The walk to the train is really short - I didn't want them to be so hot inside than cold. Anyway, Nini ended up getting a whole bank of snow into her boots - we had to buy a new pair of tights at the mall so she didn't catch a cold. Forgot the camera - I'll shoot some pictures next time!
Does anyone else make their own soap?
Have you started an Etsy shop?
Is it hard to start?
Easier than Ebay?
