Monday are for Money?

Normal day in all... Other then I am now the only Avon rep I know. Signed up today. I'm hoping to make some extra money to pay for the fun things in life like vacations.

My views are up on my Etsy items. I couldn't wait to get home from work to check to see if anything sold! But I wasn't holding my breath.

My manicure turned out wonderful.. until I chipped it. It's a copper with a V tip is red glitter.

It's Offical

My Etsy store is now open!  I have posted a few items. Trying not to check it every ten seconds!  The sun shine is amazing today so I was able to get out and take some really nice photos of my purses and dog bandanas. Going to do a manicure today too.

Tiny Multi-Colored Squares

One of mine and my sister's childhood friends is pregnant with her 1st baby. Here baby shower is next weekend, but her due date is the same as my sister's in June. I'm working on a small take along quilt for her. My friends seem to uses them more when they are smaller, great for popping in the stroller or over the carrier. I hope she likes it.

When I was half why done sewing all the squares together I realized I forgot the batting!  So I have to make another trip to the craft store.... not that I mind too much.

I'll post photos soon as I'm done. I might have to make a few of these for my etsy store too.

It's Day One in my new Blog

Hello, My name is Melissa. I've never written a blog before but I read way too many. I live with my husband of nearly 5 year, our 2 cats (Monster and Belle-bel), and Maverick our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Crafting and Coaching takes up much of my free time other then camping and hiking.

I love to sew.... really love to sew. I design and make one of a kind purses, often times out of re-purposed fabric.  I also make hair bows and flowers and dog accessories.  I will be selling these items from my Etsy store at www.melissadawndesign.etsy.com
