*************************************************************************************************

Ta-da! Here is my very first collection! I'm calling it Jumpin' Java! It's a simple collection of one full apron, two tea towels, and two hot pads.

I was planning on adding four cloth napkins, four placemats and a set of cafe curtains to go along with the collection, however my fabric is running VERY short, and there isn't anymore at my supplier...alas, Jumpin' Java will have to be a limited edition!


So there you have it! My first collection! Let me know what ya'll think!

Welcome to the new Murphy's Law!

About 3 years ago my mother-in-love, Brenda, gave me a sewing machine for my birthday. For a while I didn't do much with it. I tried a few things like a slipcover for the sofa, some curtains, nothing but straight stitching. But now that we've moved out here to the west coast I've discovered that I have a passion for creating things!


I've decided to try and sell my creations. So far, I've made aprons, tea towels and hot pads. I'm really pleased with what I've done so far, and if I'm able to sell out of what I have now, I'll certainly branch out into other areas! I'll most likely stick to household accessories and bags and things. So far I'm not brave enough to try clothing! An apron pattern is complex enough for me!


So anyhow, I'll be posting my creations here for all to see; I'll probably be selling them on http://www.etsy.com/. etsy.com is a great website for all things handmade! So many awesome, cute, and functional things on there! People are so creative!


Alright, time to head out, but I'll post different things that I've made, soon!


Bye bye for now!
