Hey everyone! How is your summer going? We are into our 2nd full week of summer vacation and it has been a long 2 weeks. It doesn't help that the weather hasn't been cooperating either. It's been rainy and chilly for the most part. But, on a positive note, I had my 2nd sale on Etsy. I had a customer ask if I could make her 7 zipper pouches in a Minnie Mouse print. I only had 2 for sale and I was also out of the fabric. So, what did I say? I said yes I could! I went to the fabric store, purchased more fabric and went to work. I whipped them up and shipped them 2 days later! I also get nervous when I make something for someone. I'm always afraid it won't be good enough for them. But today, I got my first review on Etsy. A 5 star rating. I am super excited!!!!!
I whipped up some aprons the last couple of days. One of them will be entered into the Lebanon Area Fair in July. My daughter was in the Garden Club at her school from 3-5th grade and they were allowed to enter flowers/plants/vegetables in the fair. That got us hooked. So while my daughter is going into 9th grade and no longer in the garden club, we still enter the fair. Anything from paintings, recycled/upcycled crafts, crochet, sewing projects, and yes, even plants and vegetables. We both have received ribbons though mine are mainly 2-4th place. Never a 1st place. But there is always this year, lol! Hannah has more ribbons than me and even a 1st place ribbon or two. It's nice to win ribbons but it's really cool that thousands of people see our work on display.
