I know you have all been missing the Kate and Zoe crafting stories… well maybe its just me…
I ordered some buttons from Sewing Stars, a Providence-based crafter. I am going to put them onto a new bag/pocket book I want to make. I decided one section of the bag will have a bunch of pin back buttons on it. So I started searching etsy for more buttons, which I am grumbling about having to pay more for shipping than buttons are worth, but without a big craft fair to go and scoop them up at, what am I going to do?
And then I decided to design my own! Very exciting! I ordered them from Kitty Crossbones on etsy. I get 100 pins with up to 10 different designs. I figured I would make a bunch of promos for Moses and Zoe and then the rest I will come up with designs that can sell in my shop and use for my bag.
I got out my currently very small button collection to see which of my fabrics they match.
Zoe promptly came over to supervise. I found it most amusing that she first pretended not to know that she had sat on anything at all and then was suddenly fascinated by what was under her.
What am I in the way?
On to more interesting things…

Hey I got a part-time job! Starting Friday I will be employed by a major arts and crafts store. Yay money!
Today is a big gluing day around here. I made some new Happy Spring Cards, some new Congratulations on Your Baby cards, and a bunch of new Robot cards. Exciting. I can’t wait to get them all photographed and online!
Just another day at the Robot Factory…

I put some new cards up at MosesandZoe.com. Thank you notes this time. There are three different ones up now. One with pink birds, one with green birds, and one with pink, green, and yellow birds. Pat helped out big time with these. I gave him a sketch of what I wanted the background to look like and he used his graphic design skills to make it happen. Then I glued my little birds to the branches.
I also made some owls to put onto thank you notes. I am hoping to finish them up tomorrow.

Here are the work in progress stitches. I think they are all going to be items that you would hang on a wall, but I am still working out the details.
Here is the puppy quilt for the special order.
Here are both quilts all ready to go.
And silly Moses. He was watching Zoe and I out the window yesterday. So I figured why not give him a chance at it. I put the harness on him. He crawled away from the door and flopped down. I think he may have been playing dead. He didn’t move until I took the harness back off of him. I guess I don’t have to feel guilty for not taking him outside anymore.

I just dumped an entire mug of hazelnut coffee onto our couch and carpet. I accidentally knocked the mug off the arm rest and it flew everywhere, but the mug landed on the carpet right side up. Luckily the coffee missed the laptop and my embroidery. I just put the futon cover in the wash and got all of the coffee out of the carpet, but something tells me we will be smelling hazelnut for a while now.
So my car. They patched something for $40 and now it sounds fine again. Lucky for me that Pat is around to handle these things or I might have had to abandon my car on the highway like a true North Carolinian.
I have been an embroidering fool. I made a couple of my own patterns and I have been embroidering up a storm. I really don’t like the word embroider. I suppose I could call it stitching but then you might think I was sewing… Soon I will have photos. I know I always say that, but really I mean it this time.
