Hello all! Yet another busy week. *whew*

Most of the work has been in preparation for the soap sale but that moved along quickly so I had plenty of time to use up some of my creative juices on the sewing machine. I got some work done on the three quilts I’m working on currently as well as the “water” skirt. I can’t seem to move fast enough for my liking on the quilts they are just so darn cute I want them done already! Pictures you say? Well I think we can arrange that!

This is the pattern for the twin sized quilts that I’m working on, should give you an idea of what its going to look like…sort of…mabye?

This is the green schemed quilt that I’m working on, in the middle of the pattern you can see that there is a larger space for the name and here it is.

And then in pink.

This is the baby quilt and its a different style and the twin. I’m just beside myself with how cute this is turning out! 

 and last but not least picture is the close up of the applique on the “Water skirt”

I also finally some new things done on the website. I am very pleased to be able to check these things off my “to do” list. One is a new page for the quilts that I’m working on. While I’m not offering them for sale JUST yet I do have a gallery so that people can see what its going to look like and watch as I update the projects I’m working on right now as I go. The other page is the instruction page for the Snugglebug carriers. That has been a long time coming and I am so pleased with how it looks now.

            I’m extremely excited about this weeks Super soap sale! Its Flutterby Gifts very first sale! The great thing about it is that Mushroom Tree diapers has chosen this time to launch their “Grand opening” to correspond with our sale! I got everything loaded onto the site today. We’ve been waiting on this and working very hard to make it happen. I couldn’t be more proud to offer Jill’s wonderful diapers on my site. All of her diapers are made from reclaimed materials, old shirts, pants sweatshirts ect go into this awesome mamas gear. I just love her innovation not to mention the diapers are so cute! I have to keep reminding myself that I have no children to buy those diapers for and just steer myself clear of that area of the page. *giggles*

Ok folks, I’m off to bed, its getting late. I can’t wait to see what this upcoming week brings!

Coming up on Monday the 6th we’re having a soap sale. Its the very first sale ever in Flutterby Gifts history! I’m very excited and have been working extra hard all week to get ready. We’re launching a new soap recipe for all our soaps and I couldn’t be prouder. While no soap is truly “new” (come on! Humans have been making soap FOREVER!!!) this recipe is my very own and I have gone through many attempts to finally come to this one. Its gentle, soft, soothing and made mostly from Olive oil. I hope you enjoy the sale as much as I have enjoyed making it. It will be ending on Sat. Aug 11th so keep that in mind.

Just a quick note to give some link love to the carnival! Bridgets place hosted and did a lovely job, as did everyone who submitted such great stuff!! I entered my blog on finishing my quilt. Its kind of difficult to still have posts over at blogspot when I’ve moved here, but I am just so proud of that quilt that I couldn’t let that stop me. So give some love, these people worked hard!  

*As an aside about the give away: It seems that people have been finding both the give away entry that is meant for leaving comments to enter the give away, and the blog I wrote stating that I was interested in participating in the give away. People are leaving two notes requesting to “be added” or “throw their name in”. One on each entry. That doesn’t quite work, so I had to go through for a few hours and delete multiple comments. If you see that your comment has been removed, it is absolutely nothing personal its just that the entry titles are so very similar (my bad…) that I would most likely accidentally count both requests and that’s not fair. So please leave all comments to “throw your name in the ring” on this entry and NOT on the older one. Thanks so very very much for your understanding, I wasn’t expecting such an interest!
