You Never Know What You Will See at the Beach : part 2

More fun pictures from the beach!

Pick your poison! ;)

Go Fly A Kite!

I know I said I was going to share things other than waves & sand

but this was too gorgeous not to share.

This is unedited beauty.  Thanks be to God!

This picture of striped towels, hanging on the rail of this beautiful beach house

conjured all kinds of ideas for a novel, a poem, a blog post, a postcard

...it was just pretty

Lots of seaweed on this trip, but it was pretty like this.

Whatever was inside the shell looking things at the end were still alive

A Dove from a Sand Dollar

No, we didn't do surgery although this looks pretty gorey. 

This is a Portuguese Man Of War! 

Yes, it's as gross as it looks and I DID NOT touch it!

Under the canopy

Whatever critter was in this shell was still alive too

Needless to say, we didn't bring this one home.

It's Official!

I'm on VACATION!

• The Etsy shop will remain open for your shopping convenience while I'm out
• Orders placed now thru April 24 will go into production the week of April 25
• Convos will be checked periodically, but replies may take a bit longer than usual so that I may enjoy the time off with my family
• All Easter Baskets and other orders received before April 11 have been completed & shipped
• Some items {including wallets, mini wallets & organizer bins that aren't ready-to-ship} have been temporarily removed from the Etsy shop to allow time to complete pending orders before vacation.  These items will be reactivated soon.  Thanks for your patience!

Wordless Wednesday : sand

Spring Break in Sew Gracious-ville

Finally . . . almost . . . SPRING BREAK!





but there is still work to be done! 

Spring Break coincides with Easter for us this year.  That creates some challenges for things in the ol' SG Etsy Shop.  This has been the biggest year yet for SG Easter Baskets.  I'm happy, I'm blessed and I'm sewing like crazy!  :) 

I have established a work schedule to accomodate orders, but still have time to get ready for vacation. It's hard to get all of the details in the shop announcements at Etsy so I wanted to explain things here. 

• April 11-24 : Orders placed during this time will go into production the week of April 25
• All Easter Baskets & Organizer Bins currently listed in the shop are READY TO SHIP and can be mailed until April 14
• Easter Baskets ordered before April 3 will ship by April 14
• Some items {including wallets and organizer bins} have been temporarily removed from the shop to allow time to finish pending Easter Basket orders before spring break.  These items will be activated in the shop around April 15
• April 15-24 : The Etsy shop will remain open for your shopping convenience, I will check convos but not as often as usual.  No orders will be in production and no shipments will be made.

If you have questions about a pending order, please contact me via Etsy.


Have you had your Spring Break yet?  What did you do?

Easter Basket Order Deadline

Easter Basket DeadlineSunday April 3, 2011

Easter is coming soon and the SG studio is overflowing with orders for Easter Baskets!  It's a good thing, but there are only so many hours in the day.   This one-woman show will be busy for the next week or so. :) In order to have time to sew and ship in time for Easter, the last day to order Easter Baskets is this Sunday, April 3, 2011. 

After that date, any Easter Baskets listed in the shop will be ready-to-ship.  If time permits, there will be some OOAK {one of a kind} Baskets listed beginning Monday April 4.

Spring Break is coming up in Sew Gracious-ville too ... tentatively April 13-April 24.  No orders will be processed or shipped during that time.
