Little Quail Etsy's Shop is Now Open

LittleQuailCreations Etsy's Shop

The day is finally here! My Etsy's shop is OPEN! It has been a long time coming. I have amassed quite a bit of inventory that I really need to get moved out for new stuff.  My shop is going to be a mix of  bags, infant/childrens items, accessories and kids clothing. At some point I may even introduce patterns to the shop but I think I'm going to invest sometime to fine tuning my pattern drafting skills first.

Please go check it out. I'd love some feed back to know what you think! I'm open to (constructive) suggestions. I'd also like to know if there is anything in particular that you would like to see stocked in the shop.

Thanks for stopping by the nest!

A New Look

I know, I know, its enormous! You can't help but see it. It's all still a work in progress. I am impatient and know if I don't do something it will never get done. My new motto as a mom "Better done imperfect then not done at all."

I have been working on coming up with the Little Quail design for the blog and clothing labels for weeks now. After bouncing idea's off of others and doing a lot of doodling I think I have finally come up with a good starting point. This may not be the final but I felt like it was good enough to at least post it for now. I was getting really tired of  just text. 

Here is the over all design:

The Label:

I already have the label image at Spoonflower (a fabric printer) so I can make my labels. I am following the do it yourself method recommended by See Kate Sew. I will post all about it when my fabric comes in.

For the blog header I had to chop up the over all design a bit in photoshop to get to be a little more reasonable. Took me forever just to get it to this point now I will need to lean on my husband to do the techno thing to make it fit right. 

I have had some brilliant idea's given to me by a good friend on how to take this a little further. Incorporating a little more detail that reflects the sewing aspect of what I do. That however is going to take some time. For now I hope you all enjoy my temporary drawling until something more permanent can be finished. 

Thanks for stopping by the nest!
