These days... I keep reminding myself, "work smarter, not harder" but I am so easily distracted.
In a few days I'm leaving for North Carolina where I'll be teaching a class at the Swapaholics retreat with a group of amazing sewists. Preparations for that have pretty much consumed me (along with prepping for Fall Quilt Market, a major magazine job, and husband's birthday!) sooo ~ when I start to feel out of control and overwhelmed I invariably find something useless to do. Something useless and repetitive. Helps me think.
Decorating my postcards with tiny glassine envelopes filled with strips of fabric tape seemed like a good idea at the moment. Such a pretty diversion, right? Yep, then it was right back to tackling that to-do list ;)
Ordering info:
- Find the 2 1/8" glassine envelopes at Mind the Wrap on Etsy.
- Find the Francoise stamp stickers at Chickydoddle on Etsy.
- I order my postcards from Vistaprint.
Sandi Sawa Hazlewood, the Crafty Planner, has had such an amazing line-up of guests on her podcast (just recently Denyse Schmidt and Jen Kingwell) ~ I'm more than honored to be featured on today's episode: "Crafty Planner" podcast: Episode 29. If you'd like to hear the chatter of someone sweet, intelligent, and personable ~ that's Sandi. I always make such a fool of myself. Go listen in!
Ya know, I totally forgot to pick a winner for the miniature hoop necklace kit giveaway, so here goes...
Yay Heather (grace.is.mine.)!! Please send me your mailing address and I'll ship it right out. And for the rest of you, see all the awesome Dandelyne hoops available for purchase at Stitch Craft.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting on some very important fabrics to arrive so I've dusted off my stash of holiday prints + basics. I'll leave you with a little glimpse of some secret sewing I've been doing for friends...
Not much to see here, I know. That's because it's supposed to be secret ;)
p.s. Pick up destash packs of Christmas/holiday prints + basics at my nanaCompany shop on Etsy now!
