Introducing Betty

Look what came in the mail today!

Meet Betty.  

That's what I've decided to call her.  Isn't she pretty?  After a long deliberation, I have decided to stick some of my sewing things on Etsy.  We'll see how it goes.  I'm a little nervous they'll just sit there and not sell.  But I've got nothing to lose I suppose.  

In comes Betty.  She is going to help me model a few of the things I've made to help give them a little more of a professional look.

This morning Betty and I had an impromptu photo shoot.  Here are a few samples of some things I'll stick in the shop.

Infinity scarf

(or circle scarf, or tube scarf, or what ever you want to call it.  I've seen it labeled several different ways.)

Vinyl Oilcloth Bag

Lined with a French Vintage Cotton

That's all for now.  What do you think?  Cute enough to sell?

A Tulip Update

Well, it happened.  My tulips FINALLY bloomed.  Here we go.

Here's a bird's eye view.

And view of what part of the front of the house looks like.

 After this picture I had to go inside.  It was raining and the camera was getting wet.  

Easter Eggs

I couldn't find good 'ole plastic easter eggs here.  However, I stumbled upon these that are just as good and I think I like them even better.

They are little metal eggs.  They also open just like the plastic eggs (well almost) so you can hide things inside.

 These, however, came with a bad jellybean look alike.  Believe me when I say they were terrible.  They looked pretty, but tasted pretty gross.  I dumped them out.

I replaced them with these.  Wonderful, Swiss chocolate eggs.

In they went for Easter day.

The weather wasn't so nice during Easter weekend so we had our Easter egg hunt in the living room.  It was still fun.
