This is exciting!

I am so excited that I have made my third sale today off my Etsy.com site (http://tswhimsy.etsy.com/)! I think this is great, considering I have only posted a total of 5 things for sale. I have reached 60% of total sales today. Hee, hee!

I think it is the coolest thing to think that this person in Chicago, Illinois, whom I have never met, will be wearing my original design - my "relaxed sweatshirt dress" that I created for myself to throw on over my spandex after dance class. However, I ended up loving my sweatshirt dress so much that I actually wore it ALL THE TIME during the winter and spring months. It's just such an easy wardwrobe choice. I wore it often paired with a black tee, black Dansko leggings, my Frye boots, my favorite knit scarf, and the necklace my friend Atomic Owl made for me (you can find her on Etsy also: http://atomicowl.etsy.com/).

There are currently only two Relaxed Sweatshirt Dresses designed and sewn my yours truely out there in the world. Unfortunately, that is all I have had the time to sew and create these days. the cool thing is that both are "originals" because the one that my Etsy customer in Chicago, Illinois bought today is slightly different than the one I own. I put clear elastic in the neckline to give it a different look. My version that I own does not have that detail. Both are super-cute in my opinion, though.

Here is a photo of the dress that will be walking around Chicago, Illinois...



I apologize again for not taking the time to blog on a more regular basis. Between February and now I have been trying to maintain a class load of 3 very challenging classes and work full-time. How I love to blog, though!

I hope to find time to blog more during the summer months (I will only be taking two classes), but still working full-time. And I also hope to get some sewing time in as I haven't sewn anything new since January. I would really like to sew myself a t-shirt version of my Relaxed Sweatshirt Dress to enjoy during the summer months. I hope to sew a few extra to sell on Etsy, too. So please keep checking my Etsy site because I may just well surprise you with a few more new things!
