Let's Go Outside!

It was a weekend of unusally warm weather here in central Indiana. Fresh green foliage is unfolding everywhere and the sights and sounds of Spring beckon us outside!

The leaves are unfolding on all the trees.


The blooming trees are fragrant.


Bleeding heart, one of my favorite spring flowers.


This frog was enjoying the warm sunshine.

The hostas and ferns are lush and green once again.

It's Etsy Day!

April 24, 2009 has been designated as the first Etsy Day! This is a promotion started by a group of individual Etsy shop owners who wanted to bring awareness to the website. Help spread the word about Etsy as "your place to buy and sell all things handmade"!

The Fine Print: This promotion is being sponsored by independent Etsy shop owners, not Etsy.com.

Celebrate Earth Day!

The crabapple trees are in full bloom. . .

and the delicate looking bleeding hearts dangle from arched stems.


ElephunksTrunk included my Garden Delights Beaded Rose Brooch in a wonderful treasury celebrating Earth Day - green items made from recycled materials. Click here to see the whole treasury.

And here are are few of my favorite sites for ideas on how to green your life:

Flowers and Hearts for Mother's Day!

Are you looking for something special for Mom for Mother's Day? Flowers and hearts making wonderful Mother's Day gifts!

I have made a new assortment of felted flower brooches and "heart felt" brooches and have plenty available in the shop.

And, I just sent a new batch of flowers and hearts to the Glendale Handcraft Gallery in Glendale, Ohio. The Glendale Handcraft Gallery is a boutique-style gallery with the goal to promote handmade items and crafts people.

Gleandale, Ohio is an historic village just north of Cincinnati. If you happen to live in the area, or are passing through, stop in and take a look at the unique handmade artwork. And tell them Felt Sew Good sent you!

New Handbags!

I've been busy sewing this week and I just listed a few new handbags in my shop.

This is the plum Blakley style handbag.

And this is a pretty sky blue Bella style handbag. The Bella is my newest design and there will be more to come, in a variety of colors, next week.

I'm also working on a "garden fresh" batch of beaded rose brooches, so be sure to check out Felt Sew Good on Etsy on Monday, April 20!
