Home Tweet Home Scrappin' Photo Canvas

Hello again :)

It's been a few weeks since my last post & quite a few good things have happened.

I have accomplished a few goals...the first being that I got my business name registered :) Woo Hoo!

I also purchased my website space and I am currently waiting on my first wholesale order to arrive :)

It will be here tomorrow.  I have also designed my website header, which took me a few days but I finally got it done & looking the way I wanted it to :)

I bought myself a sewing machine which I got on discount & saved myself $100.  Oh, the fun I'm having trying to use the damn thing lol. I've never used a sewing machine before, well I did way back all those years ago at High School, but never on design paper. However, I am determined to conquer it & use it to its best potential.  It has 14 different stitches, two threads/needles, pink & it can even go into reverse lol. It made me jump when I put my foot on the peddle for the first time lol. So needless to say, if any of you have any advice, tips or tricks on scrapbook/card sewing please feel free to tell me as much as you can :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

My next goal is to make another wholesale order this week & to design my website background. Another goal is to design the front page of the website & decorate it with lots of candy give-aways to all of you & your friends :) So feel free to either sign up for my blog updates or become a follower.Totally up to you of course but I wouldn't want you to miss out.  Besides, why wouldn't you want to know all my updates anyway? lol  Anyway, onto my designs & creations :)

Do you remember this little tweety bird of mine?

He was on my Home Tweet Home a few weeks ago.  However, now he has a total new make-over. He has new eyes, a better hair do..lol and he's isn't sooo glitzed up as before.  His eyes are a bit googly but he looks kinda unique, don't ya think? lol  I call him Funky Bird lol.  Yes, I gave him a name lol.

Do you remember the birdhouse that I paper pieced?

Well, I kind of made four of them :)  Only because I've had the idea of selling them on Ebay & now have opened a little shop on Etsy.  As they say, you can't have too many eggs in one basket lol.  So anyway, this is one of the creations that I have put together with the new bird & the new birdhouse :)

I had to give Funky Bird a better & more colourful environment :)

Not only that, but I had to provide a photo mat where someone could place a 6x4" inch photograph of that someone special or even a photo of their home.

I decided to go ahead & create this one on a canvas.  It has ribbon attached so that it can placed & hooked easily on someone's wall.  I figure, rather than getting those photo's out of the box & putting them into an album that only comes out once in a while too, why not have your photo's on the wall whilst still being presented with the scrappin' concept & better yet, for everyone to see the photo's on a daily basis :)
