Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone and happy 31st anniversary to my parents. I celebrated my bachelorette party this past weekend and part of the festivies was the St. Patrick's day festival in town. For the celebrations I made myself a new green dress. I used McCall's pattern M6024. It was the most complicated pattern I have made thus far, but I love the way it turned out. I am wearing it again today and snapped a few pics to share.
What a whirlwind the past couple of weeks have been. I am so grateful that in the past two weeks my Etsy shop has really taken off. Sales have increased greatly as well as exposure. I have been featured in two lovely blogs in addition to being featured on Etsy Item of the Day not too long ago as well. Be Merry, Kate featured on of my green headbands in their post about St. Patrick's day. Mama Felice featured on of my yellow headbands in a very beautiful collection of items. I also have items featured in two treasuries right now. I am trying to figure out how to fit the entire thing into a screen shot so I can post pictures here.
Saturday was my birthday and I spent the day traveling to Gastonia, NC with my family and Kenton to visit Mary Jo's Fabric store. This place was amazing, yet also overwhelming. I have never been in a fabric store quite this large and comprehensive. I had a hard time figuring out where to start. I did find some great fabrics though and I can't wait to use them.
Right now I am staying at my parent's house with all 6 kitties, while Kenton enjoys his Bachelor Party.
