I know it’s been a few weeks since I last posted here. Life has been busy. Big changes in some things in life have meant spending a lot of brain power learning new things and has left little for anything else. LOL

I did manage to up load some new designs to Spoonflower and get them tagged and ready to sell.

This first group is a bit of a divergence from normal for me and my typical style. But I think they are fun and they were fun to make as well. I call them Scribble Flowers because they remind me of something I might doodle on a piece of paper when bored. I think they’d be great for a kid’s room or even a teen.

The ones that I have had the most fun with making, however are these little prints.

These prints were inspired by my sweet little great niece, Everyn. Last spring her mother posted a little video of Evie encouraging a butterfly to fly away for the first time. Her sweet little heart just wanted to encourage that butterfly so much and she was so very sincere about it. It just melted my heart. She recently turned 4 years old and for her birthday, I made her a little dress from these fabrics.

The dress pattern is self drafted. Aren’t the little pockets fun? I squealed when I saw how cute they were, and hey, a gal’s gotta have pockets, right? I’m anxious to see her in it sometime.

In other news, our basement construction is done! Yay! I’ve got my sewing room up and working, however there is still a lot more that I plan to do with the room. All in good time. The first picture is a before picture.

And here is the room now!

As you can see there is still some work to be done. I will eventually put a larger cutting table in the room. Shelves and hanging rods still need to go up in the closet and another desk or two so that my machines can all be our and I can have room to sew with a friend. I plan to put a design wall on the wall to the right of the closet door opposite the window, as well. But it is so nice to be moved in and using the room. I’ve found that one of my favorite things is that the windows are at ground level. We have a population of squirrels in our backyard and the the two adjoining backyards on either side. These little guys seem oblivious to me being in the room and come right up to the window sometimes. They are fun to watch.
