Obi Hot and Cold Packs in the Shop

Just popped these great hot and cold packs in my shop! They make great gifts. Hint. Hint. Christmas is coming. Check them out over here.

Remember to enter your slow cooker recipe into the contest by Sunday! I've gotten some in but we need more!! My boys need to eat.

Coasters

Finally getting around to putting a few things in my shop. Cross my fingers, I'll have it all in by the end of the week. For now, here are my coasters. I love these. I love the fabric and having these little guys out and about on my nightstand, craft table, desk, etc. They make great little gifts so if you're in need of a stocking stuffer, thank you, birthday or hostess gift or for your self, check them out in my shop.

Keep Your Hands and Feet Inside the Car at All Times

Can you say o.v.e.r.w.h.e.l.m.e.d?! Yeah so that has been the state of affairs the last week for me. The whole - I'm having a baby really freakin' soon OH MY GOSH!!! AHHH!!!! - has hit me like a ton of bricks. I haven't had a lot creative juice flowin' between getting my shop up and running and just trying to keep myself from completely loosing my sanity from not being or feeling prepared for this little guy. Now I'm sure most new moms go through this so it's supposed to be normal but gosh dang it I don't like it. I want everything ready and in place now, I want an extra few weeks to prepare myself mentally and physically, I need more time to read books...How did this sneak up on me like this? I was enjoying a very pleasant soon to be mama glow basking in the joy of this miracle growing in me and then WHAM! all of a sudden panic set in. Time became my most coveted commodity and it is quickly flying off the calendar. Needless to say I am getting plenty of deep breathing practice.

 

So um yes, if you caught that...I have my shop up now!! You can find the link to the left. I *heart* Etsy! It's so not perfect but it's a start (I confess I'm a perfectionist - not my most lovely trait but at least I'm not in denial about it). A friend of mine emailed me the other day and gave me a little (and very timely) reminder that it didn't have to be perfect just take the first step and changes and improvements can always be made. I so needed that. I do plan on getting more things up on there - I have all those new Amy Butler fabrics to dive into! I will however be flying on over to Oregon for a weeks visit soon so I'm not sure how many projects I'll actually be able to accomplish before I take off. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see friends and family. I was out there last over Christmas and was a bit antisocial from not feeling all that well so I'm hoping this time I'll be in better shape to make the rounds.
