the goings on

First of all I am thrilled to announce that I have finally purchased a new digital camera- HOORAY ! Mine has been on the fritz for quite some time now making it very difficult for me to take nice shots of my creations therefore leaving my etsy shop empty and lonely. I got a great deal on WOOT.com , you should check out that site. Hopefully it arrives soon !
Next order of business, I'll be participating in a few events this month , one being a group art show featuring plush creatures and such. If anyone actually reads this blog and are in the West Palm Beach , Florida area you should surely attend ! I will be displaying some hand-stitched and painted dollies :)

Also, I'll be selling my goodies here

I think its gonna be a great month! I'll have lots of new projects to share with you like

Tiny gnome finger puppets and toadstool gnome homes !

So Very Pleased to Meet You !

For my first blog entry just wanted to introduce myself so here I am

My name is Sara Leigh :)

In a nutshell~ I am obsessed with sewing, painting and just about every other crafty business i can get my hands into! I have a website where I sell my goodies (click here to be whisked away!) and I've been meaning to start a blog for quite a long time now but could never seem to get myself together. I am going to try my hardest to keep this updated with my new creations, tutorials, websites I love, info about other crafty gals and just about anything else I feel like ! But I am only 1/2 of what makes up the Velvet Thread , be sure to stay tuned for more info on my lovely other blog-half . I will tell you she is an awesome chef , an even better baker and like a sister to me for 20+ years (despite our sometimes radical differences hehe). She's going to be in charge of all your baking/cooking needs, and good thing cause if you looked to me for all that you'd be very disappointed ! Anyhoo, I would love to post some more pics but I haven't quite figured out how to yet so if you'd like to see more of what I do please check out
