The 100 Collection has been featured in a treasury :)-

Thanks again to the wonderful backyardprims. She must really have the know-how about getting a fun treasury spot too. She has been ever-so accommodating because this is the second treasury she has featured me in. I am so grateful too.
What a sweet person! I will have to send her something nice for being so great.

Thanks backyardprims!!

If you get a chance within the next few days, feel free to visit the treasury here and add your fun comment.

OK, I am back to sewing

Slowly but surely, I am revamping my etsy site. And it feels nice! I am also bringing a bunch of goodies into the Co-Op tomorrow. I am so happy that the Co-Op shoppers are really seeming to enjoy my items there. I usually stock baby booties, zipper pouches, yoga pants, tote bags, aprons, reusable washcloths/dusters, and a few other assorted items. I love how conscious the store is to the green movement--well they always have been.

If you haven't been there, please take a visit! It is in the Murdale Shopping Center in Carbondale, IL. Also, the Murdale Farmers Market will be in full swing every Saturday morning from 8-12noon. What a lovely time!!

Grandir Autrement

A woman from this magazine asked of I would like to be a part of her parenting magazine and have my Red Corduroy Baby Booties reviewed by her and her 3 month old. Sounds good to me!

New Blocks Available

So, I have had these done for about a week, but am now needing a break from what I am doing so I will post some of them. I made these 20 blocks for a women from Ethic Garden in France. She was quite a pleasant lady, and I hope she loves them! I am so happy that my babies went that far too! She said that if they sell well there, she knows of other shops in the area and would maybe show my goodies around to them! How wonderful of her to think of me like that!
Also, these images are some of my first photos using the Soft Box lighting kit that Bobby's dad gave us. It is marketed for ebay images of small objects, so it was put to good use. The lighting is a tiny bit harsh, but I think the images are good for etsy at least. The Stuffed Organic Cubes just pop with that dark blue background too.

Pink and Mint FLoral Garden Baby Booties and Stuffed Organic Play Cube

These fabrics I found at an amazing Quilt Shop called Peace and Applique in Rochester, IL. I had not been in there for many years, and since then they expanded into the building behind the original store. They have tons of designer fabrics, which are quite hard to find in this area. The back room features Urban Chick Vintage Repro fabrics in many prints that remind me of BABY!!
The store is worth the drive! It is about 20 minutes from Springfield too, not bad!

More Styles of Stuffed Organic Play Cubes!!

Please visit my shop to see these cute blocks and learn more about them! I have had lots of custom orders for these lately, and also did some fun Halloween ones too!
These blocks have fluffy, Organic Material inside which is Half Bamboo, and Half Organic Cotton. Making them Antimicrobial! Babies can safely put these in their mouths without any worries! And they would never be a choking hazard.
Thanks for checking out Happy Solez Organics!

Vulture Festival in Makanda, IL 2008
