Many thanks for your patience <3

I just wanted to say that I have the best customers ever!!! I so appreciate everyone's patience as I work through custom orders. Since my last stocking, my family has endured many difficulties which has set back my sewing a bit. Thankfully I am getting caught up now, but October was not a kind month. We had three boughts of sickness in the house, I had a death in the family which was completely unexpected and in between all of that, my dh was crazily assaulted by some drug addict in a parking lot one evening. Everyone, including my dh, are better now...but it's been a rough road. I am just about back on track with my sewing and hope to offer more Verde fluff again soon :) Thanks everyone for your kind words and patience as life hit hard here.

Enchanted Forest stocking

Thanks so much to all the mamas who showed up for my 'enchanted forest' stocking. I had been dying to do that theme for months! There were so many designs I wish I could of just kept for my dd2, but that's the way it goes being a wahm - right? lol

I also appreciate all of the custom slot buyers, as it's just as much fun working with you all to create fun stuff as it is on my own. Here's some recent custom work I've finished for different ones...there's been a big Jolly Roger/pirate theme requested lately. Loads of fun!!

Retro week - a thing of the past

I really enjoyed doing all the fun retro/vintage inspired designs for my first winter wool stocking. Thanks to all my shoppers and buyers - it was a near total sellout within the hour that everything stocked! Much appreciated and I look forward to sewing more great things for your fantastic kiddos!!!

More collaborations very soon :-)

I finished up my second collaboration with Goodmama and it shipped to GM headquarters last week! It is my first time to do a collab with my wool and I am very excited about it. I hope you all enjoy the creativity and fun that I came up with. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work with such a big wahm, being so small myself and hope that you see the generosity that Suzanne and her team extend to those of us who live stocking to stocking, so to speak. :) Here's a look at one of my covers that will be a set along with a print Goodmama diaper...

Winter wool is coming along!

So I've been busy as ever trying to finalize my wool designs for winter. I have both a casual, wide leg pair and a girly pair that will be showing up soon. Here is a sneak peak at a pair in my yummy 'toasty grey' color...

Testers are helping me finish up the final tweaks and we will be on our way. Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in my winter wool! I look forward to offering you great interlock wool covers that have fun embellishments Sapo Verde style and twists on the traditional winter wool that is currently available :)

Sewing passion....

I have been doing alot of learning this past year and truely enjoy sewing for my family! Having two girls makes it that much more fun to gush over gorgeous fabrics and patterns. I continue to discover more and more sites, blogs, designers, patterns and people who love this and are waaaaay ahead of me in their sewing experience. I find my aspirations far exceed my skill, but each day as I sit at my sewing machine or serger, I know I grow closer to what I hope to be and accomplish one day. Today I stumbled upon someones blog who is both fabric and pattern designer and *love* what I see. :p Go check out Lila Tueller's blog here and enter her contest for one *gorgeous* handbag: http://lilatuellerdesigns.blogspot.com/2008/07/woodland-bloom-giveaway-contest.html I can't wait to create more patterns of my own and hope that it extends much further than my current cloth diaper cover designs. :)

Lots of collaborations coming very soon!!!

I have been working on several different collaborations recently and hope that you enjoy them! It is so great to get to know different people and put our 'products' together for one great set! The first three that are either done and soon to showcase or in the works right now are with Dunk-n-fluff, Goodmama, Sustainablebabyish and Stickypeas! Please watch for them in the next month or two. :)
