As I was sewing like a mad woman today I realized that I learned many things from my mom, but what an incredible gift she gave me by teaching me to sew. Not only is it a very useful hobby\/craft to have &#8211; but I can make money doing it, too!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so there is no chance J. will be quitting his job and retiring just yet, but I did make a tidy little profit at the Boutique last Friday &#8211; enough to make a pretty big dent in our Christmas shopping bills. I was pleased, and it was very fun, too.<\/p>\n<p>Here was the dress lineup&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSC_0019.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4168557118\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2524\/4168557118_685de646a2_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0019.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We sold all but four of them. And then Em claimed one of them when I got home, so I have three left. I might just give them as Christmas presents.<\/p>\n<p>My absolute favorite dress (made from an Anthropologie tea towel) sold as I was pulling it out of the bin to hang it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSC_0027.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4168558602\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2523\/4168558602_790690a8da_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0027.jpg\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Two of my other favorites sold, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSC_0024.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4167796485\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2647\/4167796485_10c0359c7a_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0024.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"DSC_0037.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4168559800\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2792\/4168559800_064c284462_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0037.jpg\" width=\"350\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So the dresses sold well. And Jamie sold a bunch of her aprons. She also sold some personalized Christmas jammies, too. Addie got the sample pair &#8211; she has worn them every night since she got them. She loooves them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"DSC_0018.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4168556452\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2577\/4168556452_69c3810247_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0018.jpg\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also took orders for SUPERcapes. So I&#8217;m supercaping this week to try to get the orders done in time for Christmas. I finished three today, so I think I have six more to go? I am loving the princess capes lately, though. I found these rhinestone beads for the top of the crowns&#8230;they are pretty sweet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"princess_cape.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4168562852\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2776\/4168562852_e82c966463_b.jpg\" alt=\"princess_cape.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I had a lot of fun putting together the marketing and merchandising goods for Two Birdies, too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"materials.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4167857181\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2590\/4167857181_58b1885980_o.jpg\" alt=\"materials.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So those are the goods from over here. Thanks again, Mom for the many sewing lessons and trying to teach me to be patient as I rip out yet another seam. I appreciate it very much.<\/p>\n<p>How about you? Got some good stuff to show today?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Crafty Tuesday I would like to dedicate to my mom.
