Zipper pouches, Etsy, Colorado, and more

It's been such a long time. We're now living back in Colorado (yay!!!) and I've started sewing again. We don't live in the mountains like before, but we're a short drive from them. We are LOVING it here. As a huge bonus we live near some dear friends that we've known for years; and a little car trip gets us to friends and family in the Springs.

My above-mentioned dear friend, Tanya, has an Etsy store called Tatiana's Corner. There she sells beautiful cards, scrapbook layouts, and more! Here are just a few examples...

With some gentle nudging, I recently joined her store to sell my zipper pouches, sewing needle/pin holders, dish scrubbies, and (eventually) more. Here are my recent projects for sale:

We're hoping to add crochet and knit beanies before fall, too. I'm especially excited to knit more of these Colorado beanies to sell.

I've also found a little time to do some personal sewing and a little bit of knitting. I've made a few project bags, a knit/crochet needle roll, reversible market totes, knit hats, and most recently an Envelope Clutch (Noodlehead pattern) for Tanya.

Now if only I can keep my sewing table organized and stay out of the fabric stores...
