I haven't put any new pendants in our etsy shop in months. I have been busy making them for my friends and family and I love doing that. A lot of teacher and birthday gifts. I try to work on them just a few days a week, especially now that the kids are home from school. I think I will work on a few different lines for the etsy shop - pick an initial, then pick a back and I will make that pendant custom. It's easier do that rather than to guess what you all would like and putting them in the shop. I am going to work on that for next week.

new look pattern #6690
This is an easy dress to make. I made it as the gift I wrote about in the last post. I used Tanya Whelan's Grand Revival Design's Barefoot Rose collection for the fabric and New Look Pattern #6690 view E. I left off the ruffle because I like to make things super easy and added lime green rick rack to the bottom. It was so quick that I am going to make one for Mallory and let her pick out the fabric just to be sure she will wear it!

i've never gone this long without a post
We have been busy with Scout Camp and Cub Camp and Girls Camp and.... you know how it goes. But, I did spend most of my day yesterday in my bonus room cleaning up the area I craft in and it felt great. I did manage to make a few things while it was a complete disaster and that was a bit fun to craft in a room that you couldn't even see the floor, but I am thinking it might be better to make things with a fresh slate too.
My dear friend is having a baby any day. And she hopes that any day is today. Since she has moved across the country and we couldn't throw her a baby shower, we decided to put a Baby Shower in a Box together for her from a few of her friends back here in Kentucky. I am told she hasn't opened all the gifts because she is trying to save them and have something to look forward to after the baby girl arrives. Great for her, but I need to wait to show you a few things that I sent her. I do know that she saw this banner that was packed in unwrapped, so here is the banner I made for her baby girl's room -
And, here's the packed up box - all ready to ship!
