Once again I have seem to gone missing in action for a week or so...
Let me recap what exactly has interrupted the flow,
First my laptop crashed - yes the dreaded blue screen..no bootable devices found ..
AAAAGGGGHHHHRRR!
well since I no longer have a warranty, I will have to wait to magically
sell a few more sweetlings to replace the HD.
Any tips from you guys on how to recover many lost files would be great, by the way...:)
The good news is that I have been busy, really busy actually working on a few wholesale orders, the first of the season, one I have been filling and the other still working on getting the items just right.
I just adore custom jobs, it encompasses everything I love about my line of work.
Creating new fabric pieces, fabric shopping, and working closely with the sweetest and coolest ladies ;)
In between that I was featured in a wonderful treasury that went front page, and as a result had the most orders I ever had on etsy in one day, hurray for front page..:)
Things are starting to pick up around the shops as sales goes, I think I am starting to get the hang of listing through the day, and updating the shop with fresh & new sweet little surprises often..it really has given me a boost, all the sweet notes I receive after my customers receive their packages and write to say how much they liked their item.
I am feeling rather harmonious..~
Once I get my laptop fixed I will be much more inclined to post more, I am in slow motion ancient dell desktop mode until then...not fun.:(
Well I thought I would peek in and say hi,
Do check back once in a while, and post a comment or two..
I am off to make three pairs of those lovely Victorian Vintage Inspired Velvet Cuffs,
I need them ready to ship out Monday, along with the pretty handkerchief and some Sakura Purselets...Lots to do
Take Care and Enjoy our fleeting Summer~

It is funny how one can overlook something completely...remember that little sakura stamp I so painstakingly carved the other night?
The next morning, when I proudly showed it to my daughter, she immediately noticed that the letters should be backwards if it is to print correctly...duh...major goof! so i commenced to slicing off the letters and still used it to prettify the latest order that I shipped out today(thank You sweet g..so score the cutest wallet I EVER made..the little hedgehog on a branch, oh how I am making one for myself this week)

In other etsy news....
There are a plenty of my humble little creations rocking the treasuries lately:

Felt So Good...

~*~ thank you shavingkitsupplies


Airy & Late Summer...

~*~ thank you bubbletime

Imagination...

~*~ thank you WeeBeaks

Victorian Dreams...

~*~ thank You nanalee

~ Whew that's a lot of treasuries for one little Sakura Sparrow...:)
It is an awesome feeling though when someone says they like your work, especially since I really do pour my heart and soul into every piece, each stitch and I care about the impact it will have on its owner in the future.

As for the little studio here in the old tree, I am in the proccess of creating some prototypes for a few wholesale accounts, which I particularly love, so my workshop is scattered with fabric swatches, pretty colored thread and luscious thick wool felt in such pretty colors,
which inevitably means new sweetlings are always around the corner...so look for them in both shops soon..
well my nesters its way, way too late
(bad georgia) I will definitely need at least 3 cups of very strong tea or some espresso in the am to start this engine again.
This is all so fun though, isn't it?
And I am glad you are here along for the ride...

Hi there little Nester's,
I thought I'd show you what I spent a few hours working on today,
besides two new sweetlings, that are destined for Sakura in the mid morning sometime tomorrow, basically after I finally manage to wake up and start the day after staying up a little to late tonight, and after I drink copious amounts of matcha
whilst shooting some good morning sun pics for the listings...
I spent the better part of today finishing the cutest little muslin bag with a rather flamboyant blue bird embroidery work on its front, as well as a new wallet, a mini version of the original fire-bird one I sold last month, this one is smaller, brown, and has a sweet hedgehog embroidery patch on it...so KAWAII...
Well after finishing those two, and setting all the little ones to sleep, I sat myself down and while I listened to a podcast (from my favorite Craft Sanity) featuring the black apple(she is soo cute, isn't she, with her tiny nose and round cheeks...emily martin that is) commenced to carving a stamp for the hang tags on the bags and pouches for Sakura...



Here it is all rough and choppy, this will officially be my first foray into block printing, something I have been just dying to do.I will show you a photo of a print from it tomorrow....

In other simply grand news,
I sold my very favorite little pouch on Thursday, and shipped it out with a rather pretty painting to match ( i hope you love them k...:) on Friday...we just love it when we get an order over here, I have a mini cheer team that shrikes with delight and gives lots of high fives and hugs every time I sell something, it is so sweet, it almost makes me cry, seeing how excited they (my little ones) get, mainly because its all for them, that I do any of this anyway,,,happiness is being a mom, to you guys..i love you little birds...

Oh and I wouldn't want to forget to mention the wonderful treasury I have so graciously been picked for this week:


Thank You so very mush,
Leelinau >> :)

Well its off to cleanup my mess, then fall down to sleep...
