getting ready for a shop update

July 1, 2010

Goldfish1

I made a goldfish today in preparation for a shop update I'm planning to do in a few weeks. It has been a long time since I've been able to devote crafting time exclusively for my Etsy shop. It is one of the things I'm looking forward to over the next two months while my girls are at day camp.

Have you made a goldfish?  The pattern and step-by-step instructions are right over there, on the left side bar.  If you have made one, how did it go?  It was a lot of fun to get that pattern ready and I'd like to do another.  What kind of softie would you be interested in? 

We find out the baby's gender on Tuesday morning.  And then, it's time to start getting the baby stuff up from the basement.  Everything is going to need to be cleaned and checked over.  That's my other summer project!

    Looking forward to seeing what you have been sewing for the shop update! I hope the ultrasound goes well. I never knew if my babies were a boy or girl. But, it is such an exciting moment no matter when it comes!
