Spring Has Sprung

While most people say "So sorry I've been soooo busy with x, y, and Z, as trite as it may be, I have been VERY busy and OVERWHELMED. That's why I haven't blogged. That's why I haven't posted all of my FABULOUS new items in my Etsy Shop for you to purchase, because everyone wants a new bag or apron for spring right?! Oh, and did I mention I had a craft show last weekend?! Luckily, I had two fabulous helpers (my Mom and my boyfriend's Mom both came to my rescue to get my tukas in gear for the show, so I wouldn't embarass myself and have NOTHING on my table - I seriously had nightmares about it before the show! An empty table at a craft show dream is a crafter's equivalent to those "standing in front of a classroom naked" dreams. So, while I pull myself (and my stuff) together to take photos next week and list the items in the shop for sale, here are a few teaser photos of spring goodies for you and your home.

Overnight Bag with zipper closure and lots of pockets

New item: Clutches, with or without a rosette

A fresh spring pleated purse

Update your table for Mother's Day with new place mats

Smells Like Fresh Cut Grass

Or at least that is what I can smell when I view all of the lovely handmade items in chartreuse that can be found on Etsy right now. I've always had a very love-hate relationship with green until recently. I just can't get enough of chartreuse here lately (plus, it sounds so fancy, I just love to say it too) that I've made a table runner, replaced the pillows on the couch, and today I bought a lovely kona cotton solid yard to use in an upcoming project. You can say I'm 'Crazy for Chartreuse"!

All of these items make me think of days as a young girl, walking to the bus stop through dew-covered spring grass...

Yay for spring!
