Etsy Sunday - Getting Organized in the New Year!

Posted by Sarah on Dec 28, 2008

Confession: I’m a list maker. Tons of lists - hundreds maybe! And not in the cool High Fidelity way, more of the “Wow. I am losing my mind. What did I go to CVS for?” way. I make lists of what I need to do today, tomorrow, in the near future, far future - even lists of restaurants I want to visit! Until now, my lists have been relegated to Post-Its and scrap paper, but thanks to Etsy’s How-Tuesday, I can keep my lists together in a cute little book!

I cheated.

Posted by Sarah on Dec 19, 2008

Dear Large Marge,

Over the years we have become great friends. You have seen me through my most challenging projects - from making bias tape from scratch to teaching Ryan how to sew (*shudder* that was a tough one). Even though you have been very, very good to me, I strayed. I’m sorry! The call of the serger was too much for me to resist! It stitches, trims and finishes in one smooth step - how could you expect me not to try it out? Tonight I made two halter tops for my trip to Mexico in about 2 hours and I’m hooked.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is that even though you are my #1 gal, there’s a new friend in my life. Don’t worry - I need you both, but I had so much fun in Jenny’s serger class that I know my serger will become a bigger part of my life. Try not to be jealous, I still heart you!

Here’s to all the awesome projects the three of us will do together!

Having a Holiday Freakout?

Posted by Sarah on Dec 16, 2008

I hate going shopping during the holidays - it makes me angry and sad. Too many people, too little space and too many clever displays designed to get your hard earned money! This year I vowed to make as much of the stuff for Christmas as I can so I won’t have to hit up the mall for my gifts. So far, so good! With one gift left, I think I might make it!

Which brings me to you - are you still frantically trying to get your gifts in order? If so, take some inspiration from Etsy seller Little Brow Pen’s uber adorable video!
