priorities...
Really, still preparing for shop launch. But two sick kids and a sick hubby make it hard to do anything but laundry... One of these days they will be able to go back to preschool and I'll get some things done. Please bear with me...

Name Change
Yup, changed the name. I loved the name "Kindred Spirit" because it really describes how I think of my friends and family, but when setting up my Etsy shop it became clear that I needed a new and more unique name. So...HoopDeeDoo it is! Very silly, but I'm making lots of kids stuff for the shop, so silly is a good thing.
Shop coming soon!!

Launching soon...
Just a brief note to mention that things are really cooking behind the scenes here...
While out of town for a week, suddenly I found myself with 15 custom orders! So the official business will be launching as soon as I can launch my kids into preschool and get some fabric ordered! More details as soon as possible...

it's never to early to start the Christmas projects.
For my birthday, Mom took me to a quilt store in OKC and bought me some Crazy Eight jelly rolls and charm packs. I really wanted some Christmas decorations that match my house better. So I made a table runner for my front table already, and there's enough left to make either a quilt or a bunch of placemats. I'm leaning toward making the quilt, because this stuff may be too pretty to get all foody.
I saved doing the binding on this thing for another long car ride back from Oklahoma. :)

Kindermat Case
Our preschool requires a Kindermat for naptime, for sanitary reasons, with a washable cover. We leave the mat there, but we take the cover home weekly for washing. I didn't want a big puffy sleeping bag thing to lug home every week, because I am already lugging home backpacks, lunchboxes, half-dry art projects, jackets, etc. So I have always used a king-size pillowcase, which never really covered the whole thing, and didn't look cute at all, but was easily stuffed into a backpack and didn't take up the whole washing machine. Not anymore!!
Cuteness can be streamlined.
Also, if I ever need to haul the whole thing home, mat and all, it does this:

"teecycle"
I have been looking for ways to make better use of our hand-me-downs. The Bug is getting kind of long for 2T's but still too skinny for 3Ts. And a lot of the stuff that fits is entirely the wrong season. So what does fit is worn A LOT and gets very icky. This t-shirt had a chocolate stain on it and was too short, therefore worn only around the house. But then I came across this tutorial and couldn't resist. Cut off the bottom, applique over the stain, add a poofy skirt perfect for twirling...took an hour and a half, mostly because it took me so long to figure how to do satin stitch on my new machine.Sorry for the blurry picture, she was fast! By the way that's drool on the collar, not a forgotten stain. :)
