details
I messed up the first puppy I made -- big time. I guess it has been a while since I'd last made one. This time, I decided to switch to 100% hand stitching. I can't tell you how happy I am about it. I love how much more control I have over the shape. And there's the added benefit of not having to pin it together first. Oh, how I loathed pinning those tiny pattern pieces. Now that I've made the first one by hand, I can't believe I waited this long to do it. I'll probabaly only have a couple of them for the shop update tomorrow. I'm also considering the move to etsy. I don't know, I'm not even sure if I want to throw it out there. I tend to waffle a lot on decisions, details, everything. So I keep a lot of things to myself for fear that people will think I'm unreliable. It sounds silly when I say it now. But those are the kind of things I think about. I am weird -- I also like "quirky" -- in many ways and my internal monologue goes to some odd places. Like right now, I'm feeling a little paranoid talking about it. So I'm stopping. If you made it this far, thanks for listening. Again. ♥
Shop update tomorrow Friday, October 12th at Noon CST. This guy will be there + one or two friends!

tiny sewing on a machine is a pain! your hand stitching is perfectly beautiful.
