...stalled...

After a couple of weeks of no sewing happening at my house...I have gotten a few orders and am getting the sewing machine back out!  I'm also trying to figure out my next steps...I know...I thought I had it all figured out.  I was planning on starting up a web page (and still will eventually), but now I'm considering opening a shop on www.etsy.com and trying that out.  These changes are all in an effort to "unstall" me...

I've updated my Facebook page (search WeeWants) and my blog with new fabrics and quilt examples.  I've also included how many quilts are available from that particular fabric.

Pricing hasn't really changed:
Choose any of these "collections" for a premade quilt.
Premade quilts are:
6 squares x 6 squares
$15
...name added for $0.50 per letter
...extra rows can be added for $2 per row

Tell me what colors/patterns or pick fabrics for a custom quilt.
Custom quilts are:
6 squares x 6 squares (starting size)
$20
...name added for $0.50 per letter
....extra rows can be added for $2 per row

Payments can be taken through Paypal.   I will send an invoice when you place your order.  Orders will not be started until payment is received.

...organization...

It's been quite a week in the WeeWants household.

Lots of orders have come in (great), but they have been kind of pushed aside so that I can take care of my super active baby and my sick husband. 

Yesterday & today I had some time to finish one of the quilts and as I was putting away my fabric, cutting tools & other sewing supplies, I started to reorganize my sewing basket...again. 

Let me preface this by letting you know that I am very organized.  I hate clutter and when my house is starting to feel full of stuff, I know it's time to go through it and get rid of things. 

Also, I do not have a lot of space for my growing collection of WeeWants supplies.  I have my things in one basket (it's about 24" long and maybe 12" deep), a set of Rubbermaid drawers in my son's closet, and one small drawer under his crib. 

I find myself spending more time than I want to swapping things around in my basket, and I keep forgetting about the stuff in Jeremy's room (I tend to sew after he goes to bed...and I'm not a fan of bumping around in there and potentially waking him up). 

So, any tips?  We live in a 977 square foot condo with no closet space (minus the space for clothes) and every storage space we do have is full of our stuff...now that WeeWants is starting to become bigger (and take up more space), I need ideas on what to do with my fabric so it's still accessible, but is put away so it can't be seen. 

...until then...I'll just keep on reorganizing my baskets :0) 

...fun fabric...

I just got shipments from fabricworm.com and etsy for two quilts that I am making!  I am SO excited about these fabrics :0)  Pictures will come soon!

...how it all started...

Yesterday my baby boy turned 8 months old.  I sat with him in his bedroom listening to him babble to his "baby friend" in the mirror and wondered "where have the 8 months gone?" 

It is so amazing to me how much he has grown and changed since he was born...and the 8 months have flown by!

He was the first "customer" for WeeWants, so I thought it would be appropriate to share a picture of him and his blanket :0) 

 

Since I started this adventure I have had a number of happy customers!  I am feeling SO blessed that this little craft project that was made with love for my son, has turned into something that is bring other wee ones so much happiness!

...check out his mommy's website & blog at www.e-mariedesigns.com!  She makes some amazing hairpieces :0)
