Well, maybe I should update here more, you think? I am getting ready to do my big Sparrows stocking next week. I am very excited for it. I have 8 ounces of beautiful yarn hand-dyed by Selah to match the Joel Dewberry fabric I am making a dress out of. I decided to go scrap happy and I'm also making a kid's apron, crayon roll, headband, drawstring snack bag......and possibly a sweet little kimono coat. I definitely try to do too much! Pics to come...

Upcoming stockings:
HR Mermaids
Vintage florals
Skulls

My how time flies...

I'm sorry that I've been neglecting the eleanor bean blog. But I've been busy! I stocked a few custom slots for the reusable bags and they sold out. So, I've been working on those. Let's see what is on the sewing table for eleanor bean:

Custom bags (2) for Shadow
Custom bag for Virginia
Custom bags (4) for Breana
Trade with Amy of Funky Wonder Photography (2 mama skirts, 2 daughter skirts, 4 bags, 2 kid's aprons, and many wipes)
Collaboration with Selah for Hyena Cart shop (gorgeous yard hand-dyed to match Joel Dewberry Sparrows dress I am making)

I am hoping to have all of this done by mid-July as I am going to the Oregon Country Fair! I want to be able to let out my inner hippie with no worries. :)

I will be stocking more custom slots in mid-July, and will be stocking ready-made items at etsy and Hyena Cart at the end of July. If there is something you are interested in, please email me and I will try to squeeze you in.

The shopping bags previews are up!

The shopping bags are finally done and uploaded to the two shops on Hyena Cart I am selling at this month. I also did one in Pink Buses, I just didn't put the picture up here. I am stocking at The Tree of Life on Sunday and Welcome to the Boondocks on Monday.

I am going to work on a few skirts for next week. I am also working on a custom order for a shopping bag and crayon roll in a Heather Ross goldfish print. It should be fun. :)

Almost finished with week 2's grocery bags

I am stocking grocery bags this Sunday/Monday at The Tree of Life and The Boondocks, both on Hyena Cart. I still have some aprons left. They will be coming down this week, and tucked away for etsy. Let me know if you are interested in something in a different fabric. I have a wall of fabric in my sewing room. I am slowly getting a photo gallery set up with all of the fabric I have instock.

Pictures of the grocery bags to come soon.

New business card possibility

Hopefully, this will be my new business card. And hopefully my web designer can do something like this for my graphics. :) I like how simple it is, but still fun.

Little sneak peek at the aprons for one of May's stockings

noreply@blogger.com (eleanor bean) — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:14:00 +0000

I saw some sunlight today, and rushed outside to take some pictures. They are a little shady, but I'll work on them a bit. I think they turned out great!

First batch of aprons are done!

I have finished 8 kid's aprons for my May stockings at Tree of Life and The Boondocks at Hyena cart. Now I am on to making week 2's stocking items. I am waiting on a little sunlight to take pics of the aprons. Although in Oregon, who knows when there will be sunlight.

Starting in June, I will be stocking my creations at my very own Hyena cart and at etsy. I am excited and a bit nervous, because my last business venture was selling other people's creations. But now everything I sell is made with my own hands. And I hope that the littles in your life enjoy them as much as the littles in my life do.
