a little more of me

grrr. no photos in this post because of some glitch in some system somewhere that obviously hates me and wants to ruin my day.  Because no matter what anyone says, technology and it's faults should be taken very very personally.

So blame typepad or my IE or something for the fact that you are reading here a frustrated angry post instead of the funny pithy post I wrote half an hour ago or the somewhat shorter but still funny! still pithy! post I wrote fifteen minutes ago.

Anywhoo, about me.  I'm sorry did you say you wanted to know *more* about me?? no problem! Hop on over to http://avletsy.blogspot.com  and check out a new interview with me that's been posted.  Keep on reading to learn more about the Asheville Etsy Street Team--rockers one and all!

BAM!

whew!  Have you ever had one of those periods when life is just rolling along and then BAM!  a new project lands in your lap.  and then two days later BAM!  your baby starts teething. The next day?  you got it--BAM! another project comes your way.  It's been like a freeking Emeril show around here, I kid you not.  To top it all off, I have been working towards hosting the mother of all yard sales this weekend--a project that always sounds completely do-able and then ends up with me, collapsed in tears on the basement floor surrounded by tchotkes and picture frames and those little colored dot stickers.  ugh. 

To make that last paragraph more palatable, please accept this adorable headshot of baby Anna, five months old and the sweetheart of the family.  More at my flickr page.

embroidered baby bib!

Part of a new set of products that I made recently. These bibs are standard terry with fused patches. Most of the bibs in the series have kitchen items with these little thoughtful faces. They were fun to make and just in time as Anna has morphed into a major drool monster lately.

sweet swaddled babies: a shop update

3.21.08 111blog resize

I have always loved how adorable my babies looked when they were all wrapped up in their blankets like tiny human burritos.  Ohh!  Be still my heart!  Those sweet sweet faces.  I did a sketch of Anna like that a few months back which, in time, turned into these stuffed babes.  Of course the first one went to her and she loves it.

One thing I love about these?  I had these two previously beloved sweaters that had been attacked by moths a year or so ago.  I couldn't bear to give them up so into the hot wash they went and presto! felt for swaddled babes!  yay for recycling.

I have begun a big shop update with several new products which I hope to have completed by the end of the week, fingers crossed.  so, more soon!
