Where is Earth Angel in “the process” now?


After many long, cold winter month’s spring finally arrived, and with it brought my little pink bundle of joy, Ashlynn. Any of you girly girls out there with a daughter or grand-daughter know all about what I’m going to say next. You can’t have a beautiful baby girl and NOT dress her up! Girls NEED things like bows, dresses, sparkle and SAS! Hence my addiction to www.etsy.com. Specifically, I was like a bee drawn to honey when it came to www.etsy.com/shop/Snazziedrawers . I became obsessed with the beautiful bows, clothes, and bibs!!! To my dismay, Snazziedrawers only sells patterns, but I wanted the exquisite bows and headbands for Miss Ashlynn.

After a week of longingly gazing at the products I couldn’t BUY I finally decided to TRY. I bought the simplest pattern… The Juliette La Fleur. Yes, that’s right, the patterns are named as beautifully as they look. Joy, the creator of Snazziedrawers, has developed a thorough pattern that even non-sewers like me can follow. I had such fun following the pattern that I have been making at least one flower every night since. We shall see where this takes me... I’m hoping to sell my handmade creations. Of course, being a perfectionist I want to practice until I get the technique just right. Check out Joy’s exquisite masterpieces at www.etsy.com/shop/Snazziedrawers to see the items I hope to make, and the work I have to live up to. Anyhow, I think I did pretty well. This is my first flower made from leftover fabric from my wedding. What do you think? I can’t wait to hear your comments!
