Spring break is over, and with a couple of deadlines looming overhead, I put the pedal to the metal this weekend and pumped out a lot of stuff. I’ve got 3 new pieces of actual art made just in time to submit for jurying – fingers crossed the pictures on the chip came out. But right now, I’m packing up for a morning show that I have to travel to Palm Springs for…so I’ll be up before o’crack of dawn tomorrow.

I did get some new going green totes made, and as they’re usually pretty good sellers, I had to snap some quick photos now:

I also got a lot of scarves ironed (I dyed them earlier last week). Wish me luck that all this last minute frenzy was worth it!

I’m so excited – I’m co-hosting a blog baby shower next week for Lindy Turner (aka Crafted By Lindy)! Baby #2 is on her way!!

Originally thought up by alamodestuff Linda, Leslie from smidgebox & I are joining Linda to throw Lindy a virtual BLOG BABY SHOWER. (Yeah, I know, all the L’s are confusing me too! I’m betting now would not be a good time to tell you my middle name was Leigh!)

You are invited to join in on the fun!! No fuss, no muss…just well wishes and great fun!

Next week – March 10-12 we will host several giveaways and share some fun stories, antecdotes, and tutorials.

Don’t faint, but I’ve got another tutorial up my sleeve: how to make my go to shower gift – tie dyed onesies!

Well, that took longer than I thought it would, but the tutorial is ready to go! 9 pages filled with lots of (I hope) helpful pictures! You can click here to go directly to it, or there will always be a link to it on my tutorial page and get it there. If you have any questions, please feel free to Email me and let me know!

To recap: I talk about why I needed to make these here, along with a plea for help on the name and some details on the small board) and then  I show some details of the large one here, and then I’ve started a flickr group in hopes of seeing things people make with my tute, patterns or if they’re generally inspired to make something after seeing something here – if you make one of these – please post a picture!

Enjoy!

Ooh, I can’t forget to share this with some pals!
