Planning for the Grand Opening

Things have been quiet on the blog for a little bit, so I thought I'd fill you in on what's been going on lately.  First of all, my oldest nephew got married last weekend in Cleveland (OH), so I've had lots of family around.  My mom stayed with me for a week or so and we traveled up north to meet with the family and celebrate.  It was good to see everyone.

Craft Center Mess (aka - a corner of my living room)

Now that the dust has settled on that adventure, I'm starting on a new one: moving my "sewing stuff" into my new studio!  I have been sewing in a blocked off corner of my living room for over a year now, and it was getting to be too much of a hassle to keep the toddlers out.  So...

 ...I moved the boys in together, moved Sunshine in to her own room, and now there is a room for my studio!  Yay!  (Oh, and the above picture is SO cool - and so NOT my boy's room.  There is NOTHING this fantastic in my home!!!)

And now for the most exciting news of the day:

After many months of prayer and discussion with my husband, I've decided to open up a soft toy "shop".  The details of when, where, and how are still being ironed out, but I will have an online presence as well as  consignments in at least one physical location.  I am so excited and at peace with this decision, and am looking forward to providing you all with unique, happy, high-quality soft toys that have been made by my hands, right here in the U.S.A.!!!

Blessings,
