Hey guys, Dang Gina, of DangGinaGives, is hosting a giveaway on her blog of one of my wallets. So head on over there sometimes before midnight on March 16th and enter to win~ http://dangginagives.blogspot.com/

Today my new fabric from Japan came in the mail! I am so excited because now I can make some new wallets. I'm really looking forward to that. They are pretty cute very kitschy prints, silly things like dogs and little trees. Just pretty and cute! I will have a hard time selling them, because I will want to keep them all for myself. Also, put the application in for the upcoming Sunday market in town and so I need to really get busy getting things made for it. I hope I'll have enough things to look like I am a real an proper business! Oh and Joanne Rideout is interviewing me for Coast Business Journal! She's doing a story about home based businesses, this is very cool. That's all for now!

Hello and welcome back! I just got a message yesterday from Jennifer who runs a blog about her favorite etsy finds, seems that she has chosen my ruffle black flower bag for her gift finds blog entry. You can go see it at the following address: http://jollyjennifersetsyblog.blogspot.com Very cool! My first time! Also been making a lot of wallets around here, pretty frequently actually. Off to make another one today. I have some ideas for a new bag that I'm going to be working on in the next few days, I'll post a picture as soon as it's up. Thanks for reading! Sarah

I had a pretty interesting day today, went to the dentist for my first ever cavity filling and it was quite the experience. They numbed my mouth on one side and it was the weirdest thing afterward, I couldn't smile right and I couldn't eat or drink without spilling on myself! It was actually pretty funny, but I would hate to have my face permanently like that. I'm so happy that I have been making connections to people in different parts of the world, what a great feeling it is to know that there are people all over the world who will be carrying or using something that I made here in my little part of the world. Really neat! I really want to work on getting some more things made for the shop, I have a lot of ideas, just have to work out when to do them all! I have a substitute teaching job tomorrow and then once I am home again I plan to get to work sewing. *Of course the kids might have something to say about that! *

Hey all, Just started up a new website, but it's kind of hard to find time to edit it because it's a regular site that requires all of the software and uploading, etc. So It's nowhere near perfect, yet! But if you want to stop by to take a look at it, the website address is www.happykathy.com Thanks! Oh and I am really going to be doing the Astoria Sunday Market! I have a few friends and we are going to go into it as a co0p. Which is so awesome, my friend Cindy who does awesome stuff with glass, and my friend Kelly, who is going to be doing painted wooden blocks. I am really looking forward to doing this! I just have to get our application turned in. And barring any unforeseen snags, we should be able to set up starting Mother's Day this year. Wish us luck!

Wow, 2010 already. I am very excited for the year to come, I have so many ideas of new creations I want to make and getting prepared to participate in the Astoria Sunday Market. I am going to be collaborating with other mothers in the area to combine our various skills and creativity into a joint venture! More new things on the horizon! I've been working hard on making wallets, I think they are pretty awesome. I actually really love the one I made for myself, it works really well. I am making small tote bags now, perfect for taking your lunch in. Or really any use! They are small, but with two inside pockets. I really like how they are turning out. And Hannah and Scarlett are pretty excited about them too, I think they'd like it if everything I made was just for them!
