an etsy success!

lately, the shoppe has been doing really good.... really good in my book, that is.  i've had two sales this week - don't scoff, you big-time sellers! *wink*  recently, i've had two sales for sophie leashes.  we only keep one made at a time, and i wanted to get both in the mail today but caleb was still at work.... {if you know anything about our family and our etsy shoppe, you know that caleb has made every stitched item in there, while i'm a pro at manning the hot glue gun.}  so today, i buckled down and decided that i was making that sophie leash!  amelia was napping, so i opened up our trusty craft cabinet and got busy.

the sewing machine leered at me.... i can beat you, i am your superior it quietly whispered.  i brushed my apprehension aside and threaded the bobbin.  after sewing and pearl snap plier-ing {plier-ing?}, i stepped back and admired my handy work.... what was once one is now two!

boy, am i ever proud of myself.... not only can i sew 7/8ths of an inch in a straight line, but i can also work a pair of snap pliers like a champ.  *snort*  in all seriousness, though.... this was a big deal for me, since caleb wasn't even here to direct me.  so here i am, having a self-imposed photo shoot with a sophie leash....
