Memento's Etsy Feature Friday - Barefoot Lake

For today's Memento's Etsy Feature Friday I decided to keep with the theme of shop supplies and studio craft space items. I wanted to get something fun and pretty for my ironing board so I went to the best shopping place I know Etsy! I found the wonderful shop Barefoot Lake and I purchased an ironing board cover that was brown and aqua to match my studio. I haven't added any recent photos that is on my in my head need to do list! But here is the apron cover I bought.

This is a planned photo when my studio was all clean! Here is a photo of my studio. It matches perfectly
You can see my wall colors and my old boring plain ironing board. It makes a huge difference when you use an iron and ironing board every day to see a pretty fabric smiling back at me!

If you are looking for a way to infuse some creative flair to your craft studio here are some of Barefoot Lake's beautiful creations.

Another wonderful addition is fabric covered magnets. I use the one I have that matches my ironing board cover on my white board. You can have them on your file cabinet or fridge too. They are so much prettier than a plane old magnet!

Memento's Etsy Treasury Tuesday ~ For Crafters By Crafters

Today's Memento Etsy Treasury Tuesday is all about Etsy Shops that sell items that would be perfect for your creative work space or studio and supplies. Lots of people know that Etsy sells handmade items but the other two categories are Vintage and Supplies. For Vintage the items need to be at least 20 years old. For Supplies category they need to be items that an artist, crafter might use or need in making or creating their handmade items. One of the items in this treasury is the sign Keep Calm and Sew On by Keep Calm Shop I added since I thought this would be a perfect item to hang in a sewing studio. I just bought the Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake print to hang in my studio. I need to hang it up and take a photo. I had it made in my Memento color and the cupcake is for all the cupcake aprons that I make! When I made over 500 in one week I needed a sign like this! I have also purchased fabric from lots of great shops on Etsy. If you like to sew and are looking for some new fabrics you can find some wonderful prints just search by color and the word fabric and see what you find! Did you know you can find PDF sewing patterns on Etsy too?  So what are you waiting for Get Crafting!

Memento's New Blog Makeover

Check out my new Blog. I LOVE IT! Hilary with Simply Yours Designs created it for me and she did an amazing job. I showed her my logo and website and she created something that I think looks so Mementoish. Thank you Hilary for doing a fantastic job. Please check her out if you are looking for a swanky blog makeover.

Sorry for my 1 month disappearance from my blog and from visiting my favorite blogs and SIT'S. I have been busy with lots of things that I thought I would share with y'all. I have done lots of orders in the past month and here are some of my creations.
























I embroidered 7 duffle bags for a cheer team. I have created some new Mommy & Me Apron Sets that I love. These aprons have pockets on the child and adult aprons.





I created these aprons for EAD Designs. I think they turned out great.




We have also been in the works of creating the ultimate workspace studio. I will post the before and in the process photos. We are still waiting on the countertops so the final photos will be posted once it is finished. Please don't laugh at how messy my space is. I didn't start taking the before photos until we were already in the middle of things.










My husband is an amazing man and he is very handy. He made the work table which I LOVE it is the perfect height and nice and big with lots of room. He used IKEA kitchen cabinets. The wall and floor cabinets are also from IKEA. I love my new space it is so much easier to find things and I have lots of space. I have a designated sewing and serger table. The first thing I made on my new table was this dress for Liberty's first day of school.






























And on the not so fun side I have had a cough for 6 weeks and I am on my third something or other I have caught. I was on antibiotics until I had an allergic reaction to them. I started a new antibiotic yesterday and it seems I am allergic to it as well. Hard to get better when you can't take the medicine! I have never before reacted to medicine and now in 3 weeks this has happened twice. Between trying to get orders done, and being sick I feel like I am that hamster in the cage running in the circle wheel. I keep trying to get more things done but they just don't happen. So thank you for reading my long awaited updated and let's hope that I am back in the swing of things now. Thank you to all my new and repeat customers. I have had my business for 2 years this November and I enjoy it so much and I am thrilled to see how my name is getting out there and my business is growing.

Thank you sincerely.
