Ew...my blog sucks

So I've come to accept the terms that my blog sucks...I need a new layout and blah blah blah.  On another note, I've been super busy launching my brand, which is a good excuse why my blog sucks, no time to chat about daily events, just GO GO GO. 

I opened up an online storefront in Facebook (www.facebook.com/keivahns).  I still have my other website but I figured it would be easier to manage if I was able to squeeze everything into the same account.  Less to remember, less to upload. 

I'm still debating where else to sell my stuff.  I really really want an Etsy shop but they have all these fees to list your items and then commission on top of that not to mention the additional Paypal transaction fees, where my Facebook store is 100% profit less my Paypal transaction fees.  I wonder how I can expand...I love you so much Etsy but what the hell.

My Decoupage Wish List

So even though I haven't even completed my first project and despite the fact that I'm in sewing chaos right now, I still have dreams of decoupage, lol.

Here are a few things I'd like to decoupage: (not sure if I'll be able to complete but that's why it's a wish list)

> My washing machine and dryer
> Those cheapo IKEA end tables I use for my son's coloring table (although they do come in awesome lime green)
> My future countertop for my future laundry/sewing room cabinets (this one I might actually set time aside for)
> Light switch plates for my laundry/sewing room (this is very feasible)
> a tv...is that even possible without something combusting into flames.
> my cell phone cover
> ooo just thought of this...my son's toy chest, which is just a blue plastic trunk w/ wheels.
> business cards...sounds awesome but waaayy to tedious, I got a clever little idea for my cards.  I just need ink for my printer (which is taking longer to get than I would like for some reason)

I love Mod Podge!

Went to a Decoupage Workshop tonight.....awesoomme...I'm going to decoupage my house now in FABRIC!!!!...yessss.

Love finding new ways to support my fabric addiction!

On another note, I finally figured out my pricing schedule for stuff so I'm ready to bring my scarfs to the consignment boutique now.  Taking a while but I'm getting my Etsy shop together, one slow step at a time.

Long time No See

Holy Crap..I can't believe its been like 4 months since I've wrote anything.  Well I've made tons of stuff since then and I just need to find the time to post them now...maybe by the end of this week, hopefully.

More baby stuff

Been busy...finishing up a custom order for a coworker, got a crib mobile left to do, will post pic later

I'm BACK with Uploads!

So over Easter weekend I managed to take and upload a few pictures.

Here's the progress I've been making in my sewing adventures.

I made 5 inch cotton blocks out of leftover fabric and fat quarters, I put in jingle bells so it makes noise when you shake them.  I made these for my nephew who is turning 1 in May.   I also managed to sell a set of these to someone that was uber impressed!  I also sold the same person a custom name baby blanket like the one I made my girlfriend, and a toddler bag.  Yay! Kei Vahns is making some progress.

I also made (what I like to call) a Snuggie for my nephew. It is 12x26 double layered minky fabric.  My idea was to replace a toddler's attachment to a larger blanket that they drag around (i.e. my son with his gross blanket).

Over school vacation my other nephew who is turning 7 in July visited for the week and to entertain him, I brought him to Jo-Anns to let him pick his own fabrics for his bag.  I altered my toddler version of this bag to make it bigger.  The bag is about 13x16, I would say its about 25 to 30% bigger than my toddler bag.
