PrOjeCts DoNe..My FirSt SaLe On EtSy...

Good Morning!! I finally finished up 2 of the penny rugs I was working on and have 2 more to finish..I love how this one turned out..all machine embroidered...
I will be posting this on my Etsy shortly..
I also finished up this baby bib for my friend Laurie of Cat Haven Crafts..she and I did a swap and she wanted a yellow bib with owls on it..I love how it turned out..
kind of has a vintage feel to it doesn't it? I also used a snap closure..they have them in great colors just for babys..and I love them.
here is the first penny rug I made..all done..not bad for a first time..I am having a blast making them too...got some more projects I am itching to make..just wish I had 8 arms to get them all done..the ideas are flying.:) Today our church is doing a disaster awareness thing where we have to be prepared and have 72 hour kits ready to go should a disaster strike..I sadly don't have one yet..cause I have been to lazy..but I am hoping to learn and take notes so I can come home and get prepared...I will post next time what I have learned to help you get prepared...
I almost forgot!! I got my first sale from Etsy yesterday..was checking my emails and noticed that I had sold a doll...I am so excited and I have another sale for my chicken towels too..I am loving those and I have more ideas for towels I am hoping to get started with today.:) Have a great weekend and thanks for all the wonderful and positive comments you leave me..;)

  9. congrats on the sale Gina.
    I love the penny rugs and am so envious that you can get them done so quick when I do them the old fashioned way. tons of work but it is relaxing.
    I would be very interested in know what to have for a 72 hour kit.
    food, water, propane cook stove I would bet. but what more would be useful.
    have a wonderful weekend.
    hugs,pea

  14. Gina! I LOVE the bib. It will be perfect and will fit in with the theme of little Finn's baby shower/family picnic in June. The theme is Finn's First Foods. THanks so much. Also, congrats on your sale and love those machine stitched rugs.
