Etsy Shop finally open!

I have been very busy with tax season in full swing. However, my creative side never really stops moving. I took this wonderful afternoon off and was finally able to open my Etsy shop for Modern Cottage Creations! I have tote bags and table runners currently on my shop for sale and will be making and posting more as I go. If you have a chance, please check it out. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ModCottageCreations

I am gearing up for craft shows that will be coming up this spring as well. On March 16th I will be at the McDonell high school in Chippewa Falls for their Spring Craft show. Dress festivally for St. Patrick's day, and come down for a day of great crafty fun!

I will also be at the Spring Craft show at the Chippewa Falls High School on April 6th. This was my favorite show last year, and I am thrilled to do it again. A great day with great crafters, a fun loving shopping crowd, and so much to see. I look forward to being at the show, and I hope to see you there as well.

Whew, that's a few shopping options that I've gotten under way. I hope to add a few more shows to my spring calendar and I will update you as they come up. Enjoy the Etsy shop, and there will be more projects (and tutorials) to come!

Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal. But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks. I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl! The printables that Lamberts Lately developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use! Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder. Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder. I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already...

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today. After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing. I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s. Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one. I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind. These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson. I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co. “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines...

Mail Sack Bags!

My sister is a great sounding board when I want to talk about what to make at craft shows. She's not a sewist herself, but she has great fashion and style and loves to shop at craft shows! So she suggested a bit ago that I should make some cross body bags that are a little smaller than the regular size ones I already make. So I took her advice! The first cross body bag that I made ever was for myself a few years ago. I still use it for my daily use purse. The pattern that I used was the Mail Sack Bag from Pink Chalk Studio. After making that one, I started designing a bag that was more me, and would be cute to sell at craft shows. When I decided to make some bags in a new size I went right back to that pattern and got started. They are a great pattern company and luckily are happy if people are interested in making their bag to sell in small quantities at craft shows. So this week I whipped up four new bags. ...
