Ahhhhhh....

...back to my blog!

It's not that I'm giving up on my business, but family business has definitely hit an all time high on the "busy scale"! I've definitely cut back on time allotted for SewArtsy sewing.

We are also planning on a drastic downsizing of lifestyle as a family, and so I'm having to find new homes for many items in our home. There are fat quarters who need new homes; fabric cuts that need new homes; notions that need...well, you know...new homes! In order to find these items new homes I've opened up a new shop on Etsy called SewArtsyDestash. I'd rather see these lovely items find their way to someone who will actually be able to use them than see them boxed up and stuck in a storage unit somewhere. It may be a while before they see the light of day if that happens.

If you are at all interested in good quality sewing supplies, please head on over to this new shop. You might even find lots of awesome gift ideas for your sewing friends and family!

Happy Valentine's Day!

May your day be full of love today!

Come meet this week's new Bag of the Week on the CAB Team blog, and feel the love!
