First Etsy Treasury

I made me first treasury and I couldn't be happier with it. Someone commented that there was too much blue at the bottom, but I want it that way....Some of the items sold too! Congrats to the shop owners. Here is the lovely link to Sweet and Savory. I wish I knew how to post the pictures here, if anyone knows how please let me know. Indulge visual your sweet tooth with some of the 0 calorie stand ins.

Me & My Hem Foot

Don't you love when you discover you had something cool and workable all along? I found my rolled hem foot for making un-paper towels. For joy! One of those must haves that you never knew you needed, indeed. However, the rolled hem foot and I aren't getting along too well. It's this teeny tiny little opening that's driving me nuts. I tried to abandon the sucker and use a zigzag stitch but I'm just too obsessive for that. So off I go to find a tutorial on how to start the edges (because let's face it mine look like crap). And what do I find? For the mine part I've been doing it right all along, just a bit lazily and rolled hem foot sewing has a learning curve. WT??? A learning curve, how long has it been since I've run into one of those? So, instead of sewing for my shop, my one day of family sewing time has creeped along to 3 days and more if need be. I'm not giving up until I've master this 'learning curve'. I did get some great tips from The Sewing Divas on sewing my corners better. Well, enough yapping for me, off I go to start my day.

Chat & TRADE etsy style

I just finished up the last of my chat & trade customs via etsy forums. It was a blast...I think I have 3 unfinished/unanswered convos lurking around in my convos folder. I apologize to those who I missed, I'm searching page by page for you! I'm just placing photos of the items that I sent out! Over $40 in shipping trades - wow weee! And much more in cash products quivalents. Tomorrows blog will be on what goodies I got from my swap partners. I'm still waiting on 2 more deliveries and then on to my shout outs. I hope everyone loves their items. Check out my shop off to the right to see what other goodies I have in my store and run on over to my facebook account as well, listed under the same name (ummathreads). I'd give you a link, but I'm not that savvy!

Hi all.
I know I haven't been around much lately. I am admittedly addicted to etsy chat and all the lovely chatters there. A great big whoop! to me, I have 8 reviews so far and waiting for three more. I've only had 2 sales (the rest are trades), but I couldn't be any happier. I am now posting my etsy link on the right of my blog, take a peek for me everyone. And, I have some new items I've been dreaming up. I can't wait to get those on the machine and crank them out. Have a lovely night and a great week incase I don't make it back again.
