New on Etsy: Fall Cardigans

Hey everyone!  Today I wanted to share with you my new Fall Cardigans!  They are my favorite part of my F/W 2016 Collection so far.  They are the perfect cozy, drape-y, stylish layering pieces to have in one's closet!

These are available in Black/Tan, Cream, Black/Pink in sizes S/M and L/XL for $50.00 and are available for pre-order right now in my Etsy shop!

These have been my favorite to make, I'll be bringing these to the fall sales I'm doing (click here for shows) along with my Zipper Cowls and Heidi Hoods!

Hello.

How are you?

It's been a while.  Life gets so crazy busy and the blog is the first thing to go.  BUT I'm still here, and I'm still sewing away!  I recently made a few Spring Heidi Hoods with fun graphic print lining like this one, and there are more on the way!

Today I'm working on some more Zipper Cowls in fun prints and colors as well, I really like these and I can't believe I haven't made more yet, but they are coming!

I've got a bunch of new info to share with you guys, but not today.  Today I sew.

Now what to watch on Netflix while I sew the day away.....

Recently I have been asked by a friend to help manage her new Etsy page.  I am thrilled as I am in LOVE with her work and am beyond excited to help her with her imminent success!

Etsy Craft Party

A few weeks ago the Winnipeg Etsy Street Team put on an Etsy Craft Party!!  

Etsy had a worldwide craft party day, where communities were invited to bring in old photographs and create fun new frames for them!

I was given the challenge to take the 'ugliest' materials and make it into something beautiful.  Here's how it turned out

It was a super fun evening held at Frame Art Warehouse alongside the Makers Market.

Make sure you join us next year the Etsy Craft Party!

Something New!

Yesterday I created a new piece!  It's loose fitting, light, and perfect for those hot summer days!  One I've got all the pattern pieces sized out I will make more and put them up in my Etsy shop!

Coming soon....

Etsy Update

Woohoo!! Finally an Etsy update!  You have no idea how much I ache to list on Etsy when I don't have time to do so!  BUT I found a wondrous thing, and that is the Etsy app where you can upload photos straight to the app to list items.  BAM-way less time than editing on my computer and when you don't have a lot of time like I don't right now, this is the best way to get listings up fast.

I've got a bunch of new items, some renewed items and more items on the way!  Check it out.

Etsy Update!

I am happy to say there are FINALLY new items in my Etsy shop!  Click here to check out these items and more!

I've been incredibly busy with a new job, getting ready for a fashion show as well as craft shows and that is why I've been MIA lately.  I'm very excited to share these new items and hopefully more soon!

Etsy Update!

Make it work!

I'm just popping in from a VERY busy few weeks to tell you to read the article Etsy did with Tim Gunn recently!

If you don't watch Project Runway...what is wrong with you???  Just kidding :)  But really, you should watch it!  It's my favorite show ever, and I LOVE Tim Gunn so much.  

Once I've got my routine back in order I will try to blog more again! Ha.  

Heidi-and-Seek Wedding Boutique

If you've been reading my blog recently, you know that I've started selling some wedding accessories!

At first I put them in my original shop, Heidi-and-Seek Boutique, but I decided since it's really a category all on its own, I would give it its own shop!  And therefore, Heidi-and-Seek Wedding Boutique was created!

This week I'm working on bridal sashes, and I've got a few more ideas up my sleeve for the rest of the bridal party!  Stay tuned...

NEW: Heidi-and-Seek Boutique Wedding Accessories!

I'm so excited to announce a few new items in (and coming to) the shop!
Wedding accessories!  I'm starting with these beautiful bridesmaid necklaces and I hope to add floral belts for wedding dresses and hair accessories!

I can make these in 11 different colors, and with white or cream ribbon OR ribbon color of your choice!  I think they will be a beautiful bridesmaid piece!  Click here to see them all!

Americana

I realize that Canada Day comes before Independence Day but as it is July 4th I will share a Treasury I'm in today and what I did on Canada Day tomorrow!

Here's a beautiful rustic July 4th treasury by Frances Marin

Happy Independence Day to my US friends! :)

Etsy Update: Florals

I've been working on a number of new things for the shop, I was trying to come up with a way to make use of the scraps from my color block pieces, and I had the idea to try flower necklaces!! 

It's safe to say I'm in love with these necklaces, I first made one for myself and I just love it.  It's such a bright fun piece to add to a neutral or solid colored top or dress and the colors are so vibrant!  I'm hoping to add solid colored ones soon!

I also started making some flower crowns and since I know I'm not the only person who can't wear headbands (ouch!), I used alligator clips instead!  No more pain behind the ears :)

 You can find these and more up in the shop!

Treasury Time: Color Block Summer Shock!

I've got another treasury to share with you-isn't it fun?

I can't get enough of bright colors, and this Treasury by Mrs. Monkey is full of it! Make sure you check out the fabulous sellers and items here.

A Whirlwind Weekend

First of all, I gots me a herrrrcut!  I'm in LOVE with it.  It's the wavy bob that's so popular right now and I can't get enough of how cute it is!

This weekend was the WEST handmade & Vintage sale, and it was awesome.  

I went out for sushi for a friend's birthday at Blufish (YUM)

And then of course this weekend spent some time with family...

LOVE that we spent the whole day outside, it was GORGEOUS!

It was super busy, but super rewarding.  I hope you all are experiencing nice weather too-it makes such a difference in my attitude, I'm so much more positive about things, it's very nice :)
