If you would have told me last year that I'd be 8 months pregnant in November of 2010, I'd have told you were CRAZY. Haha... and how wrong I would've been...
As I've been spending my time on various custom orders and tons of ornaments for the update next week, I can't help but feel really lucky. When I started doing this I didn't even know how to sew. Now 3 years later it's my full time job. Could I make more money being a professional something else? Probably. But I like this. :)
Thanks for listening today. I guess I'm just feeling super sentimental. After the weekend I'll show you what I made for my sweet friend Elsie's bday! I kind of love it... ;)

ReplyDeleteYou seriously make the cutest creatures ever. I adore them.
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that you've inspired me not only to get more creative and crafty, but also to blog about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your pictures and stories. :-)
Your display is lovely! I love everything you make. It's just so lovely. And it really is very encouraging to hear that you just started sewing a few years ago and you were able to make your dream happen. It gives me a little bit of hope for myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your "Please Don't Eat Me, I Love You" tee!

p.s. more money would not equal more happiness so you should definitely treasure the path you've chosen!

ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm a crazy fan of your deers. I bought one last year as a christmas present for myself, and i'm constantly checking your etsy shop to see if the one with a hat shows up. Be ready to ship to Norway:)

Your decorations made me smile...as well as your creations :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for artistpreneurs! :) I adore your ornaments and when we have a baby I plan on giving him/her all kinds of little skunkboy creatures to imagine fantastic stories with.

Could you please share how you got started sewing, did it just come up out of the blue one day? Oh, and what kind of machine do you have, I really want to start sewing and I'm interested in what would be a good starter machine.
