Changes

Over the last few years I have changed.

Alot.

Mostly for the good :)

One thing I have been wanting to change for a while is my store name. I have grown out of the Pumpkin Head phase and no longer have the desire to sew the baby items I was selling in my PHBC store. So this week I made the decision to close the store. Whew! What a load off of my mind. I know it sounds insignificant but I put alot of time and effort into that store, well at one point in time I did anyway. But it had been months since I had added anything new, all my listings had expired and I did not want to renew them.

About a year and a half ago I opened another store Pumpkin Head etc, with the intent of selling handmade things for everyone else. Then last January I discovered how much more fun (and easier) it can be to sell vintage. Vintage doesn't really fit with the Pumpkin Head name. But I didn't want to open up another store & at the time I was unable to change the name of the store I had. Well, (this is exciting) I recently found out that at some point this year you will be able to change your user name on Etsy! Hooray! Just what I needed. Now I get to change my store name & I don't have to restart my store!

This is basically just a heads up. Over the next couple of months I will be gradually changing things, including my blog, over to my new store name Glenna & Joy. An homage to my grandmothers. The new store will be vintage and handmade. Perfect.

Just plain Yummy - Store updates

I love felting wool sweaters! It is so exciting to see what the sweater will look like when it is done felting. And then the joy of designing with them! I like to make each one unique in some way. I have several that I am trying to talk myself into parting with. Namely this one.

However, I do have a couple currently for sale in my shop. If I can bear to part with the above tunic it too will be in the store soon.

In my other store I have new designer kitchen towels for Halloween and the fall/Thanksgiving season.

Finally the Linley Bags!

I know I said I was going to debut these a couple of weeks ago. I am finally getting around to it.

Here is the Linley bag. Quite large and roomy!
And of course for those who don't want such a huge bag, the little Linley.

These two are listed in my Pumpkin Head Etc store. I am still working on the design as I am not 100% in love with this one. So the next bags may be slightly different, we'll see. They are both ready to ship!

Mod, Matryoshka & a New Store!

Finally getting some new things in my shop! This mod bib will be listed as soon as I get the matching set of burp cloths finished! I have in in pink too!
I have had this fabric since it came out last year. I love and collect Matryoshka dolls so when I saw this I knew I just had to have it. Trouble was I couldn't decided what to make out of it. After MONTHS of debating I finally decided to make this apron skirt and matching shirt for Kate. The skirt is listed in my store. Oh and I got a new banner too. Don't you just love it! I made it all by myself! I also made a matching one for my NEW STORE! It's for all the things that aren't for baby. It's empty right now because I haven't had time to fill it but the Grand Opening is coming soon and there might just be a give away with it!
