No power? No problem! ⚡🎈

Keeping myself busy cutting up this adorable hot air balloon fabric for the cutest porch goose outfits as Centralia Balloon Fest gets closer.

Now I need ideas… what else should I make with this fabric? 👀

People often ask how long it takes to make my handmade items, so I put together a little cheat sheet. 🧵

I do batch some steps when I’m making multiples—like cutting fabric, pressing, or prepping pieces—to save time, but every item is still sewn, assembled, and finished by me.

No factories. No shortcuts. Just me, my sewing machine, and a playlist that peaked in 2010. 🎶

Which item’s time surprised you the most?

Bought this quilt recently and just knew it would make the cutest coat.

I was right. 🐴🤎

I tried a new quilt coat pattern and I think it’s a keeper. ❤️✂️

This sweet old quilt got a second life, and I’ve got plenty more vintage quilts waiting their turn.

The leftovers won’t go to waste either—they’ll become belt bags, door bows, and other goodies.

My question is: would you be interested in seeing quilt coats added to the shop and brought to upcoming markets?

After a busy weekend at the market, I probably should be unpacking all of my vendor stuff from the vehicle…

Instead, I decided to work on a custom order. 😂✂️

The market setup can wait a little longer—making something special for a customer couldn’t. ❤️

Now back to pretending those bins will unload themselves 😅

I started a small business.

My husband thought he was just being supportive.

Fast forward to today and he’s unloading inventory, setting up displays, helping customers, carrying tables, wearing company merch, and somehow getting promoted to Elite Employee without ever filling out an application. 🤣❤️ Barn Door Market

Round 2 at Barn Door Market today from 12–3! 🎉

Yesterday was a great day with some awesome sales—thank you to everyone who stopped by! ❤️

My number one employee, Paul, will be there helping out. He applied for a management position but was denied due to a lack of sewing experience and excessive snack breaks. 😂

Come say hi and buy stuff so he doesn’t have to take it all home. 😂❤️

See you soon! 🧵✨

🎈 Balloon Fest prep is officially underway! 🎈

I’m still working through these hot air balloon door hangers and tweaking the designs as I go. Making a few at a time has been the perfect way to experiment, figure out what I like best, and just have fun with the creative process.

They’re not finished yet, but I’m really excited about how they’re coming together so far. Looking forward to having these ready for the shop and upcoming vendor events as Centralia Balloon Fest gets closer!

What do you think so far? ✨
