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...

Hello and greetings from one busy
bee...I hope you have been good and
enjoyed your fourth of July
celebrations...I am in the final
stage of the Etsy's Storque article
I am writing about Balancing
Motherhood and Etsy.

This whole proccess has been a HUGE inspiration to me,

not only in the area of getting to meet some truly amazing and wonderfully talented
etsy moms, but it has rekindled the spark I had in high school to write
professionally, I wrote for the school newspaper and seriously contemplated a life in journalism
for a little while...I soon discovered I am far to wildly creative for that world and my
writing took a turn toward poetry, but it has seemed to come full circle with this assignment,

I have found a way to write about something
I am so very passionate about.I know that this is only a beginning
of this type of work for me, I will happily, actively purse this type of work from here on out.

In other great etsy news,the original pen & ink drawing

Well, after this wild ride of the article is settled, I will be turning my attention back to the
unveiling of two new Etsy shops,which will be debuting with the many many

carefully hand made sweetlings I have blogged about all last month..I really can't wait to
show them all to you, and because you are so sweet, I will choose some of my absolute favorites and offer them here on the blog before I go live with the shop opening...allowing you to acquire
these limited editions before they are even introduced to the etsy world.There are no reproductions in this line, every piece I have created is
a True One Of A Kind Gem-----

I will be offering a sneak peek throughout the weekend.

Here is a project that I told you about some time ago, I decided to take my time and show you each step of the way until its done...So for now you have the first parts of an original Hand Embroidered Drawing of a Sakura Tree

Well I'm off to format the article for submission tomorrow, if all goes well, Friday if it doesn't.:)Happy Wednesday Evening~
