Busy Weekend...

I think I should make a sign like this for my sewing room door. It's looking like a tornado came through, and no one should be surprised. I've been busy.

These are ready to go to the show, however, I was asked if I'd sell to my online friends who might be wanting one. My answer is Of Course! If you'd like to purchase one of these for yourself, I'm offering free domestic USPS First Class postage for a limited time. Just click HERE to go to my secure Square site to get yours. If the one you want is already sold, send me an email and I'll be happy to make another just for you!

I'll see you Wednesday after Tag visits with you tomorrow. It's been interesting around here this past week, so you just never know what he'll chose to share with you. Later!

Something New On The Horizon...

 

I'm really looking forward to the new year. I'm working feverishly on a new website for my Brynwood shop.

 

 

 

I'm taking new photographs of my current inventory, writing copy, tweaking this, and perfecting that. I'm having a ball creating my own space, and I can hardly wait to take it live and share it with you.

 

 

How do you like these images? This is just a sample of how my products will appear on the website. I've employed an app that's produced and linked to my shop host, and I'm extremely happy with how my creations will look.

 

I'm not working on this full time. I have other things that need getting done, so that's why I'm aiming to January 1st to launch the site.  Right now, I'm putting 3-4 hours a day into the effort. But, make no mistake, as of January 1, 2023, Brynwood Needleworks will be a new, separate presence on the internet. I'm really looking forward to that. I'd love your feedback, and may ask for a few beta testers before the end of the year. Let me know if you're interested.

Today...I'm back to knitting. I need to concentrate and finish knitting the baby kimono. I want to make sure it's finished and gifted before that new baby is born! So, the words of the day are "coffee and kimono". 

 

Booyah!!!...

Brynwood Needleworks - BW Exclusive Strawberry Sachet - Hydrangeas

One of the benefits of doing a deep dive into my studio supplies is that I'm finding things long-buried and forgotten (or lost). I was sure that I was on the last few scraps of a fabric I adore for making my strawberry sachets. Don't get me wrong. I like the linen a lot, but my first choice has always been this creamy white fabric.

 

I decided to empty a closet in my fabric studio. I knew that there were fabrics on rolls I want to donate, so I started pulling all the beautiful pieces into the light. One of the rolls that ended up with my bridal/formal fabrics was this fabric! I have at least a yard of 60" fabric...maybe even two yards! 

This discovery alone was worth the work I did yesterday. I think I have about a dozen bolts and three rolls of fabric pulled to list. I also have books, patterns and notions I'll be making available, too. I'm going back into my Square account to see about setting up a storefront. I promise I'll keep everyone updated about what I do, and make links that will be available to all. Thanks for your input yesterday, because it helped me see that this is probably my best option. 

 

Square also has a new feature that will allow me to share items right here on my blog, with an attached purchase button that you can click to buy. This could be really wonderful for some of my Exclusive Brynwood pieces in the future.

I still have a lot of work ahead of me, but I really made a huge dent yesterday. I think I'm going to need to buy just a few storage containers so that I can move the offerings into my freshly-cleaned attic space for holding (until sold) out of my studio rooms. I'm going to run out this morning to find some, and then I'll be able to get a little more sorting accomplished over the weekend. Lots to do, so I best get after it. Of course, coffee first. wink See you later!
