New Stuff
So I've been pretty crafty this week and I tried something new...fabric covered buttons! They are so easy to make and a great way to use fabric scraps. I even signed up for a Fabric Button Swap, which I'm pretty excited about. I've never done one, so it should be interesting to see what I get back. Below are some pics of my buttons. I plan to sell these at an upcoming craft show.

Father's Day....
So Father's Day was yesterday and it was the first official one for my husband. The whole day consisted of our son saying "Daa Dee" and then pointing to something that was not his dad. It was very funny and kept us entertained for a long time. I have to say that watching my son and hubby together is so sweet. They are so alike in many ways and it's such a blessing that Orion has a really awesome daddy.

What a week...
I haven't posted anything in a while, thats cause things have been a little crazy. I haven't had any time to do much of anything. Lack of sleep is really catching up to me. I did manage to post two new items in my shop. I started messing with some Heat n' Bond Ultra Bond and ta-da! Below are the results. I still have some more tees and onesies to work on, but I like how these are coming out.
On another note, I realized that my son is going to be one years old in a month. I can't believe it. It seems like I just had him. He's growing up so fast and he's driving me a little crazy :).

Hugabee - Version 2.0
A while ago I had created this plush toy I called a Hugabee. Well I decided to change my design and bit and I came up with this. I'm so happy with the result and I plan to make a few more this week to put up in my shop. I named this guy Cruz. He's made of non-pill fleece and has green cotton fabric accents.

What a Crafty Weekend
It was nice to finally have a three day weekend to spend with my family. My husband was busy working on a chariot for our son and finally finished it Saturday evening. We took our son for a ride in it on Sunday and he loved it. I posted two pics below and I'll have some better photos to post on Flickr this week.
In other crafty news...I finally finished another owl. I named this one Keiko. She's available in my shop. I absolutely adore her!

Spring Cleaning
So I decided to do some cleaning up at our place tomorrow. Totally not what I would like to do on my day off, but I have to get it done. My mom is taking our son for the weekend, so we get a break. Not sure what I would do without her....Love you Mom :). Anyway I might actually redo my son's room and maybe fix up our room as well. I love change so hopefully all goes well, maybe I'll have some pics to show once I get everything done. Until then here are some pics of two new owls I made. Have a great weekend.

Mothers Day
I know Mothers Day has past, but I didn't get a chance to wish all the mommies out there a happy one and I hope it was. I can remember the day I found out I was pregnant, it was a total surprise. I was standing in my bathroom staring at the pregnancy test cursing up a storm! My husband was so happy and right away said it was a boy. Before I had my son, I was not looking forward to motherhood, but now that he's here, mommy hood has been the best ride of my life.

Etsy Treasury
I don't normally look in the treasury on Etsy. But today I was bored and decided to do some browsing and I came across this.
My Rita Owl was included in a treasury created by Earmark. I love the other items that were picked also, my favorite are those little red baby booties...too cute. You can see it better if you go here. Seeing this just made my day a lot better.

Friday Fun
I wanted to share a really great item I purchased at the craft show I was in last weekend. I love it so much and it went great with my dress. These lovely brooches are made by a very sweet and talented lady Jen Menkhaus . It was really nice to meet her in person. Her shop Littlest Bean is one of my favorites on Etsy. You should check out her shop sometime. Have a wonderful weekend :).

Thursday...almost Friday
What a week it has been. The weather has been very good to us out here in VA and I'm looking forward to wearing another dress tomorrow :). I've been able to finish a bunch of sewing projects this week and I wanted to share one of them with you. I started making these cute little birdies out of vintage fabric. I love them and I hope others will love them as well. I think they would be a great accent to a baby nursery or any other place in a home. I have one sitting on a bookshelf in our place. I've put some up in my shop.

The Weekend
So I had a very eventful weekend. Sunday I participated in the Spring Baba-bing craft show at Plant Zero in Richmond, VA. The day before the show, I was at home sewing my caboose off! My mom even joined in the fun and helped stuff some owls. I was so relieved that I was able to get all my sewing done before the show. Anyway on Sunday my mother and I drove down to Richmond for the show. It was raining like crazy and we got lost for about an hour,but we finally made it. The show turned out to be a success and my owls were a big hit!!! I met so many great vendors at the show who made some really awesome stuff. Even one of my favorite bloggers/artist was there, Betz White! She brought some of her cute felted cupcakes and other fun goodies. It was very nice to meet her in person. Below are some pics of the show and a few links to some of the artists that I met. Hopefully I'll be able to do the show again next year.
Check these out...
Cicuska...love her jewelry!
Skull Knocker...very talented artist!
Big Pink Curlers....great pictures!
Littlest Bean...I had to have one of her brooches!
Spaghetti Kiss...bought some t-shirts for the hubby...love them!
Missing Monsters...so cute!
Arthur Hash...cool pins!

What a lovely day...
I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did, the weather was gorgeous , spent a lot of time with my family and was able to get some sewing done. We took Orion to the park and I took some great pictures of him. He loves the swing and going down the slide on his belly. He's getting so big and wants to explore everything at his fingertips. Below are some pics at the park. I put more on my flickr page.
In other news, I am working on updating my shop very soon. I have a craft show coming up, so I've decided to wait until next week to put post anything new. I'm really excited about the new stuff I've been working on. It's going to be very hard for me to part with a lot of these new Owls and other plush toys, but I know they will be going to some loving places. Well I must go, I will be back very soon!
Have a great week,
Steph

The Weekend
This weekend went by very fast! Saturday I was in a craft show, which went really well. It was for women who own craft businesses in VA. I met a wonderful group of talented ladies and I hope to do another craft show with them.
Sunday Project - A Very Large Owl
I started working on this Sunday afternoon and I still have a bit to finish. Someone had asked if I could make an 18x18 owl. This owl is HUGE and its the biggest one of done. I will make a few more to put in my shop. Below are some pics of it. I will post the finished one probably tomorrow.
