Another Treasury!!

I was featured in an Etsy Treasury about a month ago and totally forgot to blog about it!
Thanks so much to Becky for including me, she made the treasury and included many friends and "neighbors" from the Hudsonville/Grand Rapids area as well.
The treasury is beautiful, I absolutely LOVE the pinks that really make the color palette stand out. Can you tell she just adores having a little girl?!!! :)

Project {Create A Home} - what a great blog!

I received a note that my labels were featured Thursday on the Project {Create A Home} blog. This was for the back to school post, also showing off cute apple hair pins, and an economical pencil case.

Thanks Danyele, I really appreciate it!

Vectorizing a photo image

chic aprons vector, originally uploaded by mytwobabes.

I have been asked at times to vectorize a photo print, in order to use it for other business promotional use.
This is a fine example of this work. I used my node tool to trace the apron on the photo, then added the ruffles on the bottom, and cute sash, flower and pocket. The print pattern was made from a digital scrapbooking paper that was downloaded and cropped to fit within the apron outlines.
I am pretty proud of how this one turned out, and think the aprons are super cute! You can see more of her work at Chic Aprons on Etsy. The job was commissioned by Fabulous Fun Finds, you can see other graphics I have designed for Jen there as well.

500 sales!!!! Yay!

Check this out!

I just noticed I am at 500 sales on Etsy! Yay!

I don't know where they all came from, but they just keep adding up!

Thanks everyone, I don't know what I'd do without all of you!

More designing... not so much sewing...

With the on-set of the Summer months, I have not been quite as inspired to stay inside and sew. I have been inside, I suppose, just not in front of my machine!
The graphic design aspect of my business has really picked up over the last few weeks, with lots of designs for business cards, banners, and soap/lotion labels, blog buttons, and logos.

This is just a small view of what I have been working on, you can click the logos to see their great sites. I also designed a business card, here's a little punch to checkout my Dad's website... :) He is the Michigan Lakeshore's BEST dunegrass guy!

Have a great 4th of July, I'll try to post again soon!
