Spooky Scenes and Birthday Plans

Something pretty sweet happened today.  A seller on Etsy featured my pumpkins on her blog and sent me a little note.  It totally made my day (and can I mention she's in England!).  Cris from Koalita Craft and Me did up this amazing collection of pumpkins in honor of her little pumpkin's birthday!!!  Check out her full blog post here.

The cuteness is almost overwhelming and the fact that Cris has a koala in her logo makes it an instant favorite.

Speaking of birthdays.... I don't believe it but a week from today This Little Bird will turn 1!!!  I can't believe it's been an entire year almost.  Leaving aside reflections of how this means I'm a year older too, I am so thankful for all that this year long journey has brought me.  I've met amazing friends on Etsy, in the blog world, fabulous customers and more.  How one girl could be so lucky I don't know! 

I'm thinking of having a sale, yes a SALE in honor of the big day.  I will suss it out over the weekend and let you all know what I'm up to on Monday.

For now, I hope you are enjoying fall.  Cheers,
this little bird

Fall is Falling!!!

Happy Fall all!

I'm a few days late with this post but I hope you won't hold it against me.  I blame grad school!  More on that in a minute.  I have very exciting news!

Yours truly is being featured in the Awesome Autumn Giveaway over at the Yellow Bird + Yellow Beard blog.  Janee has curated 6 amazing prize packages for 6 lucky winners. 

Check out this cute prize package featuring my pumpkins!!!!

Entries for the giveaways close Sunday October 14th so get over there and enter! I would love to be sending two of my pumpkins to one of my readers!!!

In scholarly news, I love grad school.  Yup, I'm a big nerd and I'm proud.  Getting used to the schedule of working almost 40 hours a week, going to school 2 days a week, and studying 7 days a week has been challenging and makes it really hard to get into the sewing room. Fortunately this weekend I will be able to carve out some time.  None to soon as I will be doing the Fall Carnival at my niece's school next weekend.  I'm debuting some fall and winter mini wreaths!  A photo shoot is scheduled this weekend so stay tuned.

Here is a preview of some other recent work:

My favorite new handbag.  This will be up in my Etsy shop soon.

A large zippy made from Amy Butler fabric.



Loki is very hard at work supervising that sun spot. He's doing a very good job.

Okay everyone, don't forget to enter the giveaways! As of today the prize package with my pumpkins has over 1,000 entries, wahoo!

Cheers,
