Yippee! First Etsy Sale..

Only a couple of posts back I mentioned about Etsy selling whether people used this method or not, how successful they felt it was. Well literally the next day or so I saw on my email that one of my purses that been snapped up. One of my favourites, and I heard today that it has arrived so I can blog it here. Due to computer problems and incompatability of software I have lost track of the photo of the purse which is annoying but it was made out of Cath Kidston fabric in the style of other that are still on Etsy. I had lots of fun wrapping it up and I popped in a few extras, Moo cards, pin badge with the Indigo Blue flower on it and a coin in the purse for luck.

Even the light looks blue on this photo but it was caused by dull weather not my photography skills. This has spurred me on to upload a few more items onto Etsy as I keep making things and putting them in a box and not doing anything else. Tut, Tut.

Over Easter I did manage to fulfill a promise to myself and finish reading this..

This was a nice cosy read and ideal for picking up and putting down. It has been featured lately in knitting and other craft magazines. I will say that there is some swearing in it should it concern you but it is intended as a friendly book. There is a follow up called "Needles and Pearls" but I do not now if it is out yet. Some patterns and items are mentioned in the book and you can find these here. i have printed them all off and there is a pattern for a lovely shawl, teacosy and spiral scarf.

I am going to my sewing group tonight to continue working on Sophie's quilt. I know that I have not mentioned it in a while but it is still on-going and I have nearly done all of the squares but I have got a bit behind due to work and camping on the kitchen table due to the building work. Pictures will be posted of the attic conversion when it is finished so that they are not spread out too much but it is all starting to get quite exciting now.

Many thanks for all the comments left lately. There are more than there used to be and I have found some new blogs to visit as a result. I love reading them and I get a kick out of thinking that you have bothered to visit and type!

Have a great evening.
