Birds flying out of the shop

So here's a look at what I've made with my bedspread purchase from this weekend. A couple zipper pouches and a tote, actually I made two of the tote bag. Anyway, I'm excited to report that all of these items flew out of my shop in record time. Each one faster than the last. More coming soon, I promise.

I was over at Jenn's blog yesterday and was inspired by her post about her To Do List. I've been working hard on my list and especially on making it longer. I've had a new bag idea floating around in my head for a few weeks & last night I made the pattern and got two versions cut out (one using the birdie fabric). I'd been putting it off while trying to locate some off-white rickrack. Can you believe it's not a standard "buy it at JoAnn's" color? I don't get that. Anyway, I finally found "Cream" rickrack at eQuilter.com. I was so happy and I had to order some fabric for a special order anyway. Well, when I got it, the darn stuff turned out to be yellow. &#%@^@$ It's kind of cream, but more yellow. No matter what color it is, it simply won't work. Don't you hate it when you order something online & the color is totally not what you thought? ugh That's the trouble with computers I guess. It's so hard to make the colors look right.
I had a lady ask me today if a pair of my booties matched one of my bibs. She wants to have her son's photo taken wearing the items, how cute. Anyway, I was trying to send her a photo to show her, but the reds just don't ever look right. I think they look cute together anyway. See for yourself. If she buys these things, I hope she'll send me a picture of her little boy wearing them. How cute would that be on the customer appreciation page?
So, it's off to the post office for me. Have a great weekend, keep making things!
