A few snippy little headlines for your Sunday reading pleasure.
SCISSORINA MAKES FIRST ETSY SALE, PROCEEDS TO BE SPENT ON EVEN MORE FABRIC
Wahoo! I have had zero time to promote, zero time to make new items - I mean, I haven't even told most of my friends that I'm up and running yet! But today I made my very first sale on Etsy despite all that. It makes a gal quite motivated to stock up the shop! Yay!
DAVE THE CAT KILLS MOUSE - MYSTERY ODOR DRIVES OWNER MAD
It's true. After 2 years of calling my cats useless, one of them decided to prove me wrong. I spent Friday night at my darling SteveKam's place. When I got home Saturday morning, I noticed that my bedroom smelled....funny. I immediately scolded Kyra for her non-stop fart factory of a rear end and got on with my day. When the smell didn't dissipate, I started to suspect there may be poo or puke involved. I tore apart my room - sheets torn off the bed, dog bed thrown downstairs, blankets and laundry bags removed. I vaccumed the carpet. I Fabreezed everything. I vaccumed again. The smell. was still. there. Then I went to unplug the vaccum. I glanced down and saw a little dark spot on the carpet. Hmm, what is that?", I thought. "Oh - what's that under the modem?" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK. Dead mouse. Smelly dead mouse. Really big smelly dead mouse. Really big smelly dead mouse that looks like Jasper, the hamster I had when I was a kid. Well, mystery solved. :) After a calming phone call with SteveKam, I brought Jasper II outside and gently placed him under a tree in the yard. I haven't looked at Dave the cat in the same way since. He's tasted blood. He's all growed up. *sniff*
26 DIAPERS TAKE A LONG TIME TO MAKE
Wait. That's not news. We already know that. Well, they are coming along very nicely. Working on the inside layer now... hopefully they'll be done by next weekend!
SARAH BUYS MANY STICKERS, GIVING EXTRAS AWAY FOR FUN
It's true! I wanted a new bumper sticker for the Mazda, and have 3 leftover! They are the stickers seen here - I have 1 of the "My other car is a sewing machine" and 2 of the "Don't blame me, I voted for Etsy" stickers. First 3 to comment that they want one will get their wish! I'll email the winners for their mailing addys. :)
Okay - back to the Craft Prison Diaper Sweatshop. :) I am even more motivated now! Yee-ha!

I live in a Diaper Factory.
Well, at least it's not a dirty diaper factory.
I'm working on a custom order for my girl Jennie, who is due sooooooon. I'm in the process of stitching up 26 fabulous cloth diapers for the little girl who will soon grace us with her presence.
Here are my first attempts. :) I wanted to make sure I understood the wacky pattern correctly. They came out fab, no?
So, now I'm in the assembly line phase. Working one step at a time... times 23 diapers... Yeah. I'll see y'all in another couple weeks. :)
