Hi to all! Welcome to my new world of Etsy, blogging, twitter, photographing, listing, posting, marketing..... Not to shabby for someone who has been a slight step behind in technology for a few years. I have been home with my two girls, a side step from career and life I never thought I would take. (But love every minute of it!)I have been sewing for many years now for the fun of it, then started sewing for giving gifts, for friends, craft shows and now I decided it was time to get into something for me. I am an interior designer and have always kept my hand in it even on my 'maternity' leave. Taking on an occasional client. Now I feel I am ready to ditch the bottles and diapers as my children are doing and get my creative life back.
I have a shop on Etsy... http://craftsbykj.etsy.com/ I thought this blog might be a good start for all of you to see what I am working on and how I progress in the coming months and year. This week I really made a push to re-launch my shop and was greeted with lots of luck and excitement. I was able to work with a wonderful designer on Etsy (lolaness) to get my shop look exactly like I wanted, and my Addison quilt was featured on the front page! I have making and giving these quilts for over a year now to friends as shower gifts, and was truly happy with the comments from the Moms-to-be then and even now how they actually use the quilts and their babies love them.
It has been the kind of start to my re-launch that I really was looking for. I hope you continue to follow my progress and even offer feed back!
I will begin to search for the perfect fabrics for my baby quilts for Halloween and Christmas and all other Holidays in between. Please keep an eye out for 'teaser' photos of my Fall and Winter Lines. Somethings to look for are: Placemats, Ornaments and of course my best sellers the Cotton Print and Minky Quilts. I will be expanding the size of the quilts too, for pre-school age.
Thank you for all your support!
