Slow week a la Etsy!

Boy, oh boy, things have been pretty slow in my shop for the past week! I'm hoping that it is going to pass soon! However, I have been having some extra time to craft this week! I have plenty of reusable dusters on hand and ready to go! I also have been working on my packaging and getting some new labels together!
Mom and I are going to be going to a craft show in my town on the 18th of July and hopefully I will have lots of goodies to sell at that event! I have even been making some new sandwich/snack bags! I have been using-testing them in my lunch for about 1/2 of a school year and it has withstood a lot! I also keep one in my car for when my little guy wants something to eat but it needs to be put in the bag! (you know, those wonderful groceries that you just paid for and we just CAN'T wait until we get home to eat!) I think that I will post some of them next week at a wonderful introductory price! Well, off to relax before the fireworks! Yeah, I know that it is the 3rd of July, but that is how my town does it! Oh well!! Enjoy the holiday weekend!

New Swiffer Wet Jet Refill In My Etsy Store!!!

I am so excited to finally have my wet jet reusable cloths in my etsy store now! I have been making these for well over a year, but am just now putting them on my etsy store! They take a lot more time to create than the other swiffer products that I make! Check them out and let me know what you think! I can't wait for 8 more days and then I can finally start working on building more inventory for my etsy store! School's almost out! Hooray!!! I think that I might need to have a school's out sale! I love summer!!!

My upcycled doggie collar

My somewhat green weekend project! I have been looking at my doggie Izzy's old collar and have been pretty ashamed of it! I was cute back in the day (you know about 2 years ago!) but these days, it has been looking pretty shabby! The hearts have been coming off of it and it's a darker shade of pink, if you know what I mean! Here lies the problem though! As my husband points out we should just go to Walmart and buy another! However, I hate to throw it away only to make more junk and buy another wonderful product from my guess-China! Therefore, after I totally disassembled it, I had my little guy look through my stash of fabric and pick out one. Then, I covered the collar with the fabric and I think that it looks better than new! Have a looksy and the pics! It is an after and then a before! Kinda became backwards!

Super fab. book marks

As you may already know, I teach 3rd grade to around 22 students! (it changes too often!) Out of all of those students only 6 read all of the minutes that they were supposed to during the school year! I wanted to show them how awesome that I think that they are, so I bought them some crafty stuff and I actually made them bookmarks! They seem to love them, at least I hope so! The best part is that I used up some of my scraps that were screaming out to be used again! Hooray! Of course I had to put their names on them so that I didn't have to hear about who stole what or where it could be!

Birthday Bug Crafting!

I know, I know, you probably shouldn't have a bug birthday party in the middle of winter! I guess snowflakes, sled riding, or my not so favorites to choose from at Walmart (my choices there were so blah- Spiderman, Transformers, and Mickey Mouse). However, my little guy is in love with all creepy/crawly/wiggly things! (and it turns out that a lot of his little friends are too!) I found some awesome fabric with fun looking insects on it and made some "crayon/coloring wallets" as a thank you for all of the kids trudging out in the middle of a freezing rain storm to come to my son's birthday party! My friend Savannah and I made the boxes to look like boxes that would have bugs living in them and filled them with shredded paper. Then, the sewing frenzy began with all of the crayon wallets! I made the little girls out of a cuter butterfly fabric! Well, here they are for the viewing! Let me know what you think!!
