I'm still working on this for Kimberly, almost done with the leaves, So sorry it's taken me so long..Helping my Sis out with her new little one is taking up most of my days recently.I've also been thinking about the economy and how it will effect my Family. Watching the news last night was very scary and had me sitting and thinking about ways to save money while still eating healthy and being able to do some extra shopping, Christmas is around the corner!
Are you changing your spending habits/ways of life due to recent economy? I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts/ideas on this!
I've also put thought into my Etsy shop..When I first opened it I was so very excited and loved to stitch the day away but with the economy and tightening the purse strings I'm sad to say that I have to close my shop for now. I'm offering FREE SHIPPING for today and tomorrow..It saddens me to see my work sitting in a box and not being enjoyed. I'm still Stitching away but will offer my pillows on here.
On a lighter note...My sewing room is achanging and big plans are in the works...Here's a hint.. the color YELLOW !! Will post pics in a few weeks...I'm so excited!
Enjoy your Wed.

I understand what you are saying about the economy being scary right now! We do not have any stocks or anything like that but the fall out from what is happening is bound to trickle down. eek!!!
Very scary times that we live in for sure.
But I just wanted to comment on how pretty your stitching is! And to thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas with us!
Blessings,
Rosemary
Heather, the stitcherie looks wonderful! Can't wait!
Hugs, Kimberly
I'm so sorry to hear about your etsy shop but you have to do what you have to do.
The economy has been hard on us but honestly, Jeremy and I have always had our struggles. We started out kind of in the hole and had to struggle to pay off debt and get out of it. Every time we think we're getting ahead and can relax, something happens to knock us backwards. We do have more than we did in the past and I am completely grateful and appreciative. Life would just be easier if things weren't so expensive these days....
Have a wonderful day!

I am so sorry to hear that but am confident this economy will turn around. Just can't say when. Your work is lovely and you have inspired me to return to work on baby quilts and dresser scarves and pillowslips that I had stashed away from an auction.
Perhaps the Etsy community should establish a trade situation. You know, trade for items you can use.... Just an idea--a very old-fashioned idea.
At least we can continue to produce the things we love in hopes of a better day.
