Cross Applique Towels: Great Teacher's Gifts

Ahhh, what do you get for one of the most important people in your preschooler's weekly life? Tough question, especially since you trust them with one (or more than one in my case) of your most precious gifts, your child.

I've really been wanting to sew cross applique towels for quite some time now. Finally I decided... I'll do it! What else would be a better gift for the teacher's at the preschool that both my kids attend. Teacher gifts can be difficult, or at least for those that really want to express themselves creatively... *ahem*... okay so yes, I made it hard on myself. These are the designs I sewed, I think they all turned out great

This one is my favorite... a mix of "gothic" and modern with a raggy edge...

Now I'm thinking I should overlap 2 and see how that looks... maybe I'll sew a shirt for "Miss C" and see how it turns out...

New Year & New Look

Time to "refresh" and "renew". Gonna be making changes to the blog and focusing on blog updates more often.... i know i know I've said that before ;-)

BUT this time I really mean it. I've decided to do away with handmadebyamanda.com & JUST sell in my Etsy Shop - as shown in picture above.

Why? #1 #2 & #3= $$$

This year I'm being "real" with myself and trying to understand my limits more as a SAHM with a small "hobby" business. My solution= Etsy. If you haven't heard of www.etsy.com, then you may want to hide your credit cards! It's basically a LARGE group of "shop owners" who post their items for sale in their individual "shops". It ONLY for handmade crafters, artists, & lovers of all that's handmade. So NO fisher price toys or random commercially made junk you may see on eBay. It's a NEW way to shop while supporting your local artist and/or crafty momma ;-)
