Countdown to Creative Connection Event

Only a few more weeks until we are at the Creative Connection Event! We are thrilled this exciting event will be so close to home...my home is just a fifteen minute drive away from downtown Minneapolis. Country Mouse will be staying with me and we'll be brainstorming new ideas for the shop and our sewing rooms. We both plan to give our spaces a makeover one of these days, hopefully before the end of the year. In the meantime I'm tearing out inspirations from magazines for our rooms and dreaming of the day we put our ideas into actions.

Did I tell you my new sewing machine arrived a few weeks ago? I've put her to work right away, no easing into things around here...She helped me finish 750 little envelopes with our business cards for the Creative Connection Event. And now we're starting on the stack of ironing board covers that is ready to topple over.  

We'll be sewing, sewing, sewing this last week of summer. Although I will take a break to attend a wedding and hopefully enjoy a bit of sunshine before Fall officially arrives. Hope you enjoy the remaining bit of summer!

Sew Busy

Wow! Where does the time go? Country Mouse and I have been sew so busy these last few weeks. And I'm going to be honest, it hasn't all been fun, we've been stressy and even a bit neglectful to our furbabies (they don't understand why we have to sew all day!). But on the other hand, we are thrilled and very excited about the things we are working on! I wish I could tell you everything, but I was asked not to reveal all of the details yet. So I must honor that and only tell you what I think won't get us into any trouble. Because being in trouble would just put me over the edge right now.

So here's the deal: We've been sewing items for a booth at the Spring Quilt Market! We are working with a fabric company to showcase one of their new fabric lines and all I can say is that is will be perfect for your sewing room. And to go along with this, we will be debuting our first set of printed patterns! More details to follow soon.

And another exciting event that we will be a part of: The Creative Connection Event. It will be held September 16, 17, and 18 in Minneapolis. Go check out all of the fantastic panelists and speakers (Amy Butler will be there!). We hope to see you there!

Needless to say, there is a never ending to-do list and not enough hours in our day. And I'm not sure that we know the meaning of sewing/life/balance. Oh and one of my coworkers at my office day job told me I looked tired today. What is the best response to that: a) thank you b) you wouldn't understand or c) best to say nothing at all? I've never been quite sure how to respond to that one! 

I have family coming this weekend so I am trying to wrap up a few projects so I can hopefully relax and enjoy their company. Maybe even spend sometime outside of the house, we are supposed to have sunshine and highs in the 70s! I hope Spring has arrived early for you as well!
