I’ve been busy sewing things lately, but I still haven’t photographed the new pants, dresses and shirts I’ve been making. I need a model and a nice, outdoor setting so I can really do it right. I dream of beautiful ladies in lush, green landscapes wearing flowy clothing from an entire collection sewn by me. But yet I wind up with photos that look more like a cheap item strung on a hanger, then carelessly placed on a dark closet door. More Ebay than Etsy. I want to change my clothing product photos, but that means taking lots of time to get it right. Maybe by Christmas my summer clothing will be ready.
In the meantime I’m busy sewing hearts in jars to ship off to my first wholesale customer – a store in Australia which I’m very excited about. Here are the anatomical and traditional hearts in progress…
I’ve been very obsessed with soapmaking and DIY bath and beauty products lately. I’ll write about that in a few days.
Before I go, let me share a humorous conundrum I recently solved. I couldn’t figure out why the herbs seedlings growing indoors were dying off. They were getting enough sun and water. Then I found the plant killer in action.
I guess sleeping kittens are not conducive to growing herbs. Lesson learned.

She looks so sweet in that little basket. It’s just the right size for her.

Very exciting about your first wholesale customer. And in Australia – how exotic!
; )
The photo of your herb-killer made me giggle: “BASIL”. Hee hee.

A: Love the hearts. Ah, for an embroidery machine.
B: Cutest. Herbicide. Ever.

Ha ha, Pheobe is an herbicidal maniac for sure.

Cool, thanks for the progress shots. Nice to get the inside scoop on your commercial creations. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for the clothing you’re making. Getting the right shot is generally a toughie.
Adorable plant killer!
