Need your opinions on new ideas! Can you Help?

Hi Pigeon Peeps,

I have been coming up with some pretty good ideas lately, but I wanted to ask for your opinion. I am not having much luck in the marketing area.  But it's not my area of expertise.  I wanted some opinions or comments on some new ideas that might be of interest.  Thought about creating some really cool pillow covers with cute sayings on the pillow.  I make my own letters and that is the fun part. I made a sample one. What do you think?


I think they have potential and choosing the right fabrics that grab the attention helps too.

Then I thought about creating some different stuffies to add to the owl collection.  I created a new one and I am calling her "Krazy Kittums!"  She is a little tweaked because working with certain fabrics tend to be a challenge.  Embroidery isn't easy on soft stretchy fabrics. But I made a good attempt.





So there you have it.  My latest creations.  Happy crafting peeps.

Shameless plugs...how much is too much



I was on a roll last week with creating a few owls for the shop and I actually created another Valentine owl different from my larger owls.  I am Feeling a bit discouraged because I do get a few views but that's about it. I am on facebook (putting shameless plugs there on my personal page), twitter and I enjoy the blog hops, but  I don't have the time to join the parties.  It's either work to craft stuff for the store, and neglect the blog.  I find that listing the items takes a tremendous amount of time too.  Maybe I am just trying to hard and have too much going.  I want to write on my other blogs, but there again, that would take time away from the goal of trying to make a go of  the shop.  I asked a friend about my dilemma, she suggested craft fairs.  Okay idea if your not hesitant about going out there and putting forth the effort or time.   My point is I don't want this blog to sound like a constant advertisement for the shop, but I feel like that it's turning out to be that way.  But most of items I create are for the shop.  I might just  have to change the way my blog functions.

Forgive me if  I sound like "Donkey" from Whinny the Pooh. I know things will improve, gotta keep the faith.

 Happy Crafting Peeps,

Newest Creations!

Have been getting my creative juices going.  I put a new Owl in the shop.  I need to do some more marketing of my items.  The owl is made with a very soft and fluffy fabric.  It is comparable to minky or soft pile fleece.  In the works is an owl I am creating for up and coming Valentine's Day.  So stay tuned! A perfect gift!





Sewed up a potholder recently, because the one I had in the kitchen had seen it's last days.  It a made entirely from 100% linen and imported Japanese linen, what a cute print.  I used three different prints. Check it out.






I also have a new blog.  I know, I know, I don't keep up with the one that I have but it's a blog about my other passions and random ramblings.  So check it out: Passionate Montage and see what you think.

Hope everyone is doing well.  Enjoy crafting and creating peeps.

H A P P Y 2 0 1 1!

Yes, it has been a awhile since I have posted and truthfully I feel that I am totally out of sync with the rest of the world.
I've been sick again with a nasty sinus infection and the added bonus of the flu.  Lost weight but I don't think it is the best way to start off the new year!

I am hoping to pull it together soon. I had a few sales during the holidays but nothing  to write home about.  But I do want to thank those who did purchase from my shop! This Christmas I handmade many gifts to mail to family out of state and it inspired them!  Isn't it a nice feeling when you can inspire others?!  I did do some painting over the holidays.  I will share when I have the room to take the pictures.  


Most likely things will start back up in full gear when my kids head back to school.  Also to add to the list of eventful happenings. My youngest son, Brendan is turning 9 on Friday! Happy Birthday Brendan!  We don't do the huge party thing.  It's way over-rated for him, (meaning over stimulation) and he couldn't really handle it.  So we just stick to small and simple family parties.





So Pigeon Peeps I haven't fully disappeared, but sorry for my loooong absence.  Thanks to all who still check in once in a while to see if I am still around.  Love the support. 


Take Care♥
