Reusable Gift Bags

I just made my first sale on my Etsy shop over the weekend. I'm super excited! It was a collection of my reusable gift bags. The item sold after only 3 hours of me posting it. After getting that all ready to be shipped out I made a new collection of my bags and posted it this morning. We'll see how things go, but I thought it was a pretty successful first week considering the little amount of advertising I've done so far.

Sewing Projects

I used this pattern to make these cute little bibs for my cousin-in-laws baby. Her baptism was this weekend. Not quite your typical baptism gift.

I made these with a terry backing so they can be used as a washcloth after eating.

A coin purse I made for my sister. I'm in the middle of working on this clutch to match.

Mother's Day, College Graduation, & New Hobby

We had a packed weekend. We enjoyed a nice lunch at my parents' house Saturday afternoon to meet my sister's boyfriend's parents (did you catch all that?), we hosted a pre-Mother's Day dinner at our house with the in-laws Saturday evening (first party since I got pregnant), and Sunday my sister graduated from college (we're so proud of you, sis!) and went out for a Mom's Day dinner with my side of the family.

My grandparents-in-law gave me my very own sewing machine for my birthday a couple weeks ago. I've always wanted to learn how to sew and have already been working on some little projects. I just can't wait to start making little outfits for our baby!
