Sewing.
Now I have my own little corner of our spare bedroom that is my crafting area! My mom is letting me borrow her antique sewing chest to house my new sewing machine that I got for Christmas and all of my random fabric and ribbons. I am working on some vintage-style aprons with the new fabric I bought, and I am trying to finish up my batch of birds & ‘bots that I started a long time ago. I would love to launch my etsy website before the end of the month, so we’ll see….
I don’t have to work tommorow, so here’s to a productive, crafty day!

I bet you could sell stuff at wholly craft in clintonville too–they have a lot of the kind of stuff we saw at the tiny canary.
These are adorable! You are so crafty!

Nafisa .. I do have a pretty cool pattern.. it has a couple full-apron styles and a couple half-apron ones and I got it at JoAnns. I will post pictures when I finish making them. Maybe sometime we could get together and sew or something!
