Trying on a new 'hat'

I tried a new project and I really like how it turned out!  Here's some pictures of my kids apron and hat set I made.  I have tons of other fabrics if you'd rather have a different color combination.  Please take a look around the shop :)

New Items!

I'm so excited to be back into sewing again.  I got some great new fabrics and textures this weekend and could not wait to get my hands on them to create some cute baby things.  I LOVE minky, and satin, and combined, they came out to make some super cute loveys (or softies, whichever you prefer).  I have a variety of sizes.  I got the inspiration from my daughter.  She has this baby doll that she sleeps with and she keeps in her bed for the most part.  It is soft minky on one side and satin on the other.  She sometimes (rarely the older she gets) wants to take it with us, but we are teaching her it is a bed time toy, and that we don't want it to get dirty around other kids.  So, the pocket softy was invented ;)  Ok, I didn't invent it, but I custom made my 5 new items in my shop!!  Go take a look and please let me know what you think.  Suggestions, critiques, color ideas??  I'd love to have your feedback!!

I opened an etsy store!

Well, I was going to wait until I had some more items in stock to open my etsy store, but I had a little time the other day to search store names, and came up with mine, Misty's Blessings, so I went ahead and signed up.  It sat there for a little while, but then today, my husband came home sick, early and I had some time to work on it some more, so I found the blog design, made some buttons and headers, and put my first item online.  I have some super cute baby shoes that will be making their appearance soon, as well as some pillowcase dresses.  I also have lots of sewing for Christmas to do as well, so the store may be getting items a little more slowly until I can finish those items up. 

I love to sew, and this is a new thing!!  I've been sewing on and off for about 2 1/2 years, but just recently, the things I made started looking better and better.  There are still times when the machine and I have words :), but I really enjoy spending my evenings sewing and talking to the hubs.  Anyways, here is the link to the site (and it's all over the blog).  And, if you'd really like to spread the word, you can grab my button, to the right over there, and add it to your blog.  I will be setting up a facebook fan page, eventually, but I really want to get more items listed first.  So there you go, my etsy store.

Oh, I wanted to say a little something on the name.  I hope to bless each and every person who orders something from me.  I love giving and receiving hand-made items for gifts, and I hope my hand-made items will bless you and those you may order for.  Thanks for looking around!
