Something NEW from GurlyStuff... and more!
After many years of not sewing, I decided to take out my 40 year old sewing machine and do a little sewing! One of the items I have made and added to my Etsy shop GurlyStuff... and more! is a Polka Dot Waterproof Change Pad
On SALE now!

MIA
I know I'm the worst blogger ever! It's been almost two months since I last blogged and I feel awful!
Alot has happened since January 1st, I've opened a new Etsy shop and have spent alot of time making my own banner, avatar, product tags, mounting cards and business cards for the new shop. My new shop isn't opened yet but I'm getting close to opening it. I'll be selling alot of the same stuff but I'm excited about adding a new item, which I've never made before: BIBS! It's been alot of fun taking out my sewing machine again; it has made me realize I miss sewing.
Unfortunately my bibs won't be for sale for very long :o( I just found out that textiles will need to be tested for flammability starting June 2011! How is a small business owner who loves to make handmade items for sale supposed to manage the cost of this testing? It just seems a little excessive and you won't believe the cost for this testing! It's been a very frustrating two days since I found out and I've spent countless hours researching this subject. But it is, what it is. I'm just happy that crocheted/knitted hats are not subject to this regulation (both in Canada and the USA) and I can continue to enjoy making hats!
Speaking about hats... I'm working on a new style of hat for girls and will be getting them photographed in March. I cannot wait to share my new hats with you and get them up in my shop for spring hat shopping!
