23 days...

...until the first day of spring. March 21st! That day also marks my daughters first birthday! While I'm not looking forward to her birthday because this year has gone by far too fast for my liking, I'm dfinitely looking forward to the end of winter! The Chicagoland area has gotten the most snow this year since 1978! I can only remember a few days this winter where there wasn't snow on the ground. Now, don't get me wrong, I love snow, but everything in moderation, right? I'm hoping that the winter that we've had isn't an indication of a blistering hot summer, but even so, I can't wait for warmer weather!

Custom nursing cover

I recently made a custom nursing cover for a friend from the Bradley childbirth class that I attended last year. I think it turned out so beautiful, and is by far my favorite project since I opened up shop! I just love the fabric that she chose and how tidy the whole thing turned out! I had so much fun making this and hope to have opportunities to make more in the near future!

Photo Editing

Thanks to a fellow etsier, I finally figured out how to brighten up my pictures. I downloaded a free trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements and have been working on updating all of my listings to make them much more presentable. Check out some of these before and afters!

Not bad, eh? The trial version is only good for 30 days though, so hopefully this vast improvement will help with sales and I will be able to afford to purchase the full version. Here's hoping!
