Check out this board!

Here is another board I made to go in my Western Collection.  I didn't realize that there weren't many western memory boards available in the market so I am hoping I have a new thing going.  I put a concho in the middle and instead of using ribbon I used leather strips. 

I have made ten boards

I am so caught up in Western Material that I have been making boards in several and now I have 10 boards and really no buyers.  I think they make great looking boards but I am not sure if they are going to sell.  My son picked up 5 to take to his church tonight because he thinks he can sell them there. But I guess I will have to wait and see.  I just didn't know there was so much fabric out there until now.  I am really hoping I can find a market for it because I have not found any other western boards for sale and this may get me out of the designer fabric I have been doing boards in for a while. 

Its Crazy time!

I decided to retire and work more on my shops but I have let my blog go.  I have been busy creating new boards for my shops, trying to promote but just not adding any info to my blog.  I will try to do better.  Here are a couple of boards that I have been working on.  I have tried to go with the western them right now to add a new collection to my shop.  They are fun to make and I have added a few things to make them  interesting.

Well !

It was a beautiful day today but I just enjoyed hanging at the house.  I am shipping some boards to a consignment in Rhode Island and sold a board that I will ship in the morning.  It has been slow so I am grateful for any traffic I have.  I was so busy at the first of the month selling boards left and right then it just stopped.  I am not sure why but I guess with spring break and easter there were other things to do besides shop on the computer.  Check out my etsy shop and see the new boards I have listed.  My goal is to have 200 boards in my shop by Christmas! 

New Boards!

I have been buying fabric like crazy to build more boards.  It is like an addiction.  I will see a fabric I like that I think will make such a pretty board and even try to not buy it but sadly I can't leave it alone.  I buy on line a lot and a new fabric line came out that I loved but thank goodness it was flannel and fleece only so I was able to pass it up.  There are so many interesting fabrics out there, so many creative designers that I have to check them out.  They give me great ideas for boards.

Finally Sat is here!

I wish I could just do my boards but I have to pay the bills and can't do that with my boards.  I have to work so off I go today and then I will be off tomorrow.  I would probably get lazy if I didn't have my full time job so it has to be a good thing.  I have made several boards out of Melissa Averinos fabric and this is one of them.  I love her fabrics.  This is one of my favorite fabrics that I made.  Check out my shops to see the other boards I have in her fabrics.

I am thinking Spring!

I have been waiting for the weather to change to spring and I have been looking at spring fabric.  I have found some fabrics I really like.  There are so many cute things at Etsy that show how crafters are getting ready for spring.  http://www.etsy.com/shop/dolcechic check out her shop she has some beautiful flowers pics that will give you a breath of fresh air. 

Here is one of my spring items:
