A new venture ~

Ever since I was little I have dreamed of having a little business making toys. When I was twelve I actually payed for my pet rabbits' food by selling little felt toy bunnies at the local farmers market. I brought a spinning wheel and my two sweet pet rabbits - Toby and Samwise Gamgee - and was able to sell every toy I had made, and had a wonderful time!
I think that was actually the first time someone told me about Etsy.
"You should sell these online," a really nice lady said. "There's a new website that hosts small business."
Of course, then I got distracted by (homeschool) high school, getting sick, and worrying about college... and, well, I have a bad case of Procrastination.
But now (drum roll please!) I am finally making the leap and opening my Etsy shop!
It's called The White Bird Studio, and I am planing on opening it on November 1st, All Saints Day ~ I need all the help I can get, and how great is it to have all the saints as patrons of my shop?
There will be an Autumn girl or two, a few little Christmas Elves, and some sweet Winter maidens. If I am able to get everything done in time, they might be joined by some other little surprises, but we'll have to wait and see!
I am so excited about finally starting my little shop, and I hope you enjoy seeing my little people in progress!

Remember September

I am, apparently, very bad at this blogging thing.

Every time I sit down at the computer I cant think of a single thing to write! 

It's like writing an essay for school all over again...

We did finally get our first bit of cooler weather this past week, which is amazingly exciting after a summer of 100+ degrees! I opened all the windows in the house the moment it got into the 70's. The cats decided that this must be winter, and began to sleep the day away curled up in the warmest bright spot on the rug. 

It's warmed back up to feel like summer again now, and I'm drinking many cups of tea, knitting woolen socks, and wishing for fall. 

Anyway, this is me, trying to begin this blog in earnest. Hopefully I can get some good pictures of what I am sewing the next time the sun comes out, and post an actual blog post sometime in the next few days.

Until then, thank you for stopping by my little corner of the internet! 

It was so lovely to meet you ~
