KinderMat Cover

This is not a tutorial this time. I hope to make another in the near future and make it a tutorial but this time i just winged it, was not sure how it was going to turn out. I started by looking online and searching DIY Mat covers... Came across one that i liked for the most part here Sew Like My Mom Blog. I thought it was cute, and had a bit more than i needed like the extra owl and name. I went off of it to kind of create my own. I decided that having a blanket, pillow and cover that they should be attached Right?! lol easier for a child to store them selves. so before i was done, i attatched the blanket and the pillow realizing wow it is hard to sew everything together, realized after that the pillow shifted a bit on me (well in my response, hey i couldnt see it, it was inside covered by the mat cover materials lol) we all learn from our mistakes! but all in all i think it turned out good. my son had fun picking out the materials for it, so he will have a great surprise in the morning! here are some pictures as of now i only got cell phone pictures :( what do you expect for 2:30am :P

Etsy in the making

So, I am currently being educated about Etsy. I am opening up shop, but at the same time learning on how to better my items. so i may be changing things up for the better. which also means if you have any suggestions for me please leave me a comment or message me. I am first going to be taking a new direction on some photos, for that has been brought up by a few fellow Etsy followers. But it may take some time, Unfortunately I have to purchase a new camera Eeekk. and hope that my kido's dont get to it this time lol. Im working on adding better descriptions, and tags as well. so thing are going to be changing, but with all things learning, they can only get better! I have even added some crochet items :) and going to be making more RTS items as well. so far my best sellers, and FB "likes" are Seat Belt Sleeves, Seat Belt Pillows, Car Seat Straps... Hmm maybe i should stick to cars huh!? lol
