Coming up for air...

I am working like the dickens to have enough stock for the Easter Sunday all handmade/vintage market in Amsterdam. Here you can see this week's goal: 150 brand spanking new teabag cozies, all cut out and ready for sewing.

Now, if I can just keep this pace I will be ready to hand sew those 150 buttons this weekend. I have a great line-up of movies for then. I just love hand sewing all curled up on the couch with a 1960's housewife classic in the background. And thanks to the magic of DVR I have a few classics on demand!

My 25 favorite cozies will not be making it to the fair, though. They will instead be listed in my shop. I have a few surprises by way of fabric options, and a couple will feature polka-dotted buttons. Yes, you read that right: polka dots! Did you really think I would become a machine and stop having fun with these? Of course not! The only challenge I am having is deciding on my 25 favorites (though I narrowed the list it down to 40 by now).

By way of celebration, and thanking you for your patience while I am so very much away from the blog, I have a special giveaway coming up. Stayed tune for that!
