Happy Monday!
Good morning everyone! I hope you have a great week!
Today is my birthday so I'll be doing little things! I'm taking photos of my pins to post on social media this week. I'll also be working on my shop a bit more, like updating descriptions and images of all the listings.
Have a great day!
Grading holiday pins!
It's grading day! Lots of work ahead of me. Each pin comes in It's own baggy so they have to be removed, the backs taken off, inspected, placed on a backing card, and then bagged up again!

here's a little peek at january's sticker design 👀 look familiar?

I just wanted to thank you all again for a successful launch day! I'm so happy to have you all here 🥰

Settling in for the night to finish sewing the last hats onto the hot chocolate dittos!
During typical workday hours i like to focus on tasks that require me to be at my sewing machine or in front of my computer. At night i like to do hand sewing in front of the TV because I'm incapable of sitting still! I always have to have my hands busy~
Winter Cleaning?
Well, it was too late to start on a new pattern so i decided to clean out and organize my 2nd sewing room closet 🙈 what a mess!! At least the cats are having fun!
