But, it just wasn't working out that way as I have so many other things like patterns, doll hair, and many other types of handmades. After a couple of years of not having great sales, a good friend helped me think it through a bit and I changed my shop! It's now called Cindyshomespun (Homespun from the Heart is taken :( but that's another story!) - you can find me here: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CindysHomespun">http://www.etsy.com/shop/CindysHomespun</a><br />
<br />
I am learning just so much about Etsy now too! Thank goodness for my very good friend Ree who is helping me understand circles, tagging and so much more :) Since I am talking about her, please go visit her shop too! <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/raggedyree">http://www.etsy.com/shop/raggedyree</a> She is selling some awesome vintage finds, most of her stuff is one-of--kind so if you see it and want it, GRAB it fast. I love going with her to a flea market, she has a great eye for stuff.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-20395327127618434362012-04-26T04:18:00.002-07:002012-04-26T04:18:54.967-07:00Where have I been??I can't believe how long it's been since I posted! I have photo's of great finds from a rummage sale, my thrifting in Hilton Head, new pattern (and several more coming!) but I just haven't had time to post here at all. I've been really busy with orders - wholesale mostly! This is one area of my business I wanted to develop a bit more this year and I sure got what I wished for :)<br />
<br />
I am also getting ready for Lititz again, I hired 2 helpers to get me through some of these orders and preparation for Lititz. It's my biggest craft show of the year and I am really looking forward to showing off some brand new dolls and other primitives this year!! <br />
<br />
I will be back shortly with a really fun new pattern announcement! OH and this month, Homespun from the Heart celebrated our 8th year in business (online). So exciting!!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-83995396725098355592012-03-29T17:31:00.002-07:002012-03-29T17:34:01.600-07:00Planning for Fall/Halloween already!Yes it's March and I'm talking Halloween :) I am already planning some new ideas for the fall, I wanted to post and ask my readers for feedback.

What kinds of things get your attention?<br /><br />I'm making a list, new patterns, some oldies-but-goodies, and of course new ideas! I'd love to hear your thoughts!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-91383762650027386112012-03-08T04:18:00.003-08:002012-03-08T04:20:16.964-08:00Craft show Sat.

My daughter & I are driving to Hilton Head, SC to see my parents for a little more than a week. I will be resting, sleeping well, exercising, and my favorite thing - THRIFTING! there are alot of thrift shops so I may post some of my finds over the week.<br /><br />Anyway, if you are looking for me, that's where I am - away. Resting! I will probably check emails a few times, but i will not process any orders until I get home on March 8th. If you want an epattern, please go to patternmart to get instant downloads. All other epatterns will be sent when I get home.<br /><br />I did add a few new dolls, most will be one of a kind's since Easter is sneaking up on us April 8th! If you want to order anything, please do - it will take it out of inventory & I'll mail it when I return from vacation.<br /><br />Also on March 10th, I'll be at Northampton Community College's annual spring craft show - details are on my website under Craft Shows.

I did release both of my new Spring patterns & one fall pattern - everything is listed on my website.<br /><br />I have been working on a big order and getting ready for my spring craft show, I'll post more on that soon. Have a wonderful crafty-weekend!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-61701714521452906912012-02-04T04:36:00.001-08:002012-02-04T04:44:42.163-08:00Pattern SALE!It's February, we've had a very mild winter - hardly any snow, but I know what that means especially when good ole Phil ran back to his hole. So I am having a stock up and save sale on patterns :) Oh, I just feel like having a sale, who am I kidding? Everyone loves a good sale!<br /><br />OK so I am offering <strong>buy 2, get 1 free on all E-Patterns </strong>- these are for my e-patterns only (excludes Stitchin Fools, Save our Hooters and Instant Printables). <strong>How to redeem:</strong><br /><br />*Shop here: <a href="http://www.homespunfromtheheart.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Patterns">http://www.homespunfromtheheart.com/store/WsDefault.asp?Cat=Patterns</a><br /><br />*Add first 2 to your shopping cart, pay for only 2! Add free 'choice' in comments box or email me. I will send you all 3!<br /><br />*If you want to buy them on PatternMart as instant downloads, just buy 2 and email me the 'free' choice - I'll email that one to you as soon as I see the email.<br /><br />For every 2 you buy, you get one free - no limits! Just remember to only add 2 (or 4 or 6, etc.) to your shopping cart and let me know the free ones you'd like.<br /><br />Pretty easy! I am working on 2 new spring patterns, hopefully they will be ready soon. So I'll make the sale last for 2 weeks to give myself time to finish them to be included in the sale. So that means offer ends Sunday Feb. 19th. Go stock up and save!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-50920291297877977692012-01-11T03:46:00.000-08:002012-01-11T03:55:54.306-08:00Working againBetween the shows ending, deadlines for orders and then trying to get ready for our holidays, I feel like the last month flew by! I started working again last week but keep getting sidetracked ;) I have been playing alot of dress up and Toy Story Memory the last 2 weeks - that's been much more fun than sewing. <br /><br />Yesterday, my daughter asked me to measure her with my tape measure (I was measuring my dolls to list online); so I said "Wow you grew overnight in your sleep!" and she replied "Now that means you can teach me how to sew". I had just told her that she could learn when she was bigger - so, I better figure out a way to get her involved. I love that she wants to learn!<br /><br />OK so new dolls coming soon - I am taking photo's off the camera now as I type. I have a few more to finish today; new faces help me get my creativity moving again.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-10748355173403472072011-12-15T12:27:00.000-08:002011-12-15T12:31:40.984-08:00Merry Christmas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkpVSW95wovCQEEyjtPdP_vUfvukjvhmmPWI3ty3Yu0d0yR9BWkwBQ4BmIXf407V5t3eo39xl4JSiFKBlJNllxijq55qdu8D9qW25nrpOPeitXiSGJLftQvk9JL27yQTUuZqMBrEO2FM4/s1600/HFTH-Card2-ForWeb.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 258px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 138px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686454678619179362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkpVSW95wovCQEEyjtPdP_vUfvukjvhmmPWI3ty3Yu0d0yR9BWkwBQ4BmIXf407V5t3eo39xl4JSiFKBlJNllxijq55qdu8D9qW25nrpOPeitXiSGJLftQvk9JL27yQTUuZqMBrEO2FM4/s200/HFTH-Card2-ForWeb.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Only 10 days left until Christmas, the time is flying by!

I have been wanting to do more spiritual patterns and this is the first of many more to come. A good friend was over one night and we were talking about Advent, she completely inspired me to get this one out of my head :) We both love it and I hope you do too!</div><br /><br />You can create it with just Mary, Joseph & Baby Jesus or add the optional manger, straw and printout about doing good deeds throughout advent for a soft bed for baby Jesus. A great tradition to start with your children or to use by yourself as a gentle reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.<br /><br />The pattern is on my website, here as a download (far left column) and over on Patternmart. Enjoy! and the finished set is on my website!<br /><br />Oh and I will be adding more holiday items this week to my website. I've been working a bit since the last craft show and will have last minute gifts/dolls for sale shortly.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-18040748927755713932011-11-04T10:55:00.000-07:002011-11-04T10:58:05.010-07:00Craft show tomorrow - First Baptist ChurchJust a quick post to let you know I will be at First Baptist church, 3235 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA tomorrow from 9am-4pm.

And thank goodness for the kindness of a stranger - he helped me get alot of my stuff out through the slushy, snowy, wet parking lot and into my car. I was soaked and cold by the time I got in! And prayed the whole way home because the roads were a mess. Lots of tree branches down, the roads were very slippery.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>By the time I got there at about 3pm, it looked like this out our back door:<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaKru8i-D5PA6Katak8Gs99bDl0bk2L7pI7oruRDyClpHWtDrFPdFGbqb1fa4HPq8dIBy3Jv1uh7WUNOV1KbranqzQs9_1IipqJTEfZSzkjCqXMIBs0yLVMdOf5j6RR5Hbaqj6Qk6OnCM/s1600/10-29-11-2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 184px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669620061085849042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaKru8i-D5PA6Katak8Gs99bDl0bk2L7pI7oruRDyClpHWtDrFPdFGbqb1fa4HPq8dIBy3Jv1uh7WUNOV1KbranqzQs9_1IipqJTEfZSzkjCqXMIBs0yLVMdOf5j6RR5Hbaqj6Qk6OnCM/s200/10-29-11-2.jpg" /></a><br />A Few hours later, this was the view out the front. My daughter's swing was touching the ground within an hour of this picture! We lost at least one tree on our property, just split right in half from the weight of the snow. Yesterday morning, i saw red leaves floating by on top of the snow, what a weird sight :)<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKFOpcm2zZp1kbI_UII2dn4OofljXJiI8lZxEWSJPsO5Glg4ZY31GyO3R4NW-F3q1t0bKQ3asmQ-gGY4gl5TZu96whHpZ0aqEfGPtxD-l8ac1yc0vF3CGTpMngOO_wc0PjdbN0akOAfs/s1600/10-29-11.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669619949741481586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKFOpcm2zZp1kbI_UII2dn4OofljXJiI8lZxEWSJPsO5Glg4ZY31GyO3R4NW-F3q1t0bKQ3asmQ-gGY4gl5TZu96whHpZ0aqEfGPtxD-l8ac1yc0vF3CGTpMngOO_wc0PjdbN0akOAfs/s200/10-29-11.jpg" /></a><br />Anyway, so this week I will be adding some new things to my website.

I am against the far right wall, same spot as the Spring show if you came. I set up mostly last night but am heading in shortly to finish a few things, get pictures and go do a little shopping. I never get to browse so I'm hoping to do that this morning :)<br /><br />OH and if you are coming, be sure to bring your snow brush as it seems we are getting a big storm today! I'll take pictures :)Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-47329423958690647722011-10-12T03:56:00.000-07:002011-10-12T04:30:45.216-07:00Back from Letchworth ShowWhat a great weekend!! I can't say how LUCKY we were with the most beautiful, picture-perfect weather this weekend. The leaves in the park seemed to change colors before our eyes, and the customers were out to shop and have fun. I had good sales, I am still smiling from all the nice comments on my work.<br /><br />I didn't even finish setting up Saturday morning when I was mobbed with a big crowd (yay!), so I never got good pictures of my booth - I think I have one or two on my phone but not sure how they came out. I will check later and post if I have some.<br /><br />I wanted to share info on some of the other vendors that were inside the building with me - we are a very interesting group, I saw most of them last year (which was my first year). We are all different as far as what we sell but a nice group of artists to share space with for 3 days!<br /><br />One guy is an author - Mark Holdren: <a href="http://www.spiritwolf.info/AboutTheAuthor.htm">http://www.spiritwolf.info/AboutTheAuthor.htm</a>. He writes about his adventures in nature (something my dad writes about too) so I enjoyed talking with him.<br />My neighbors are awesome; they are just so nice - we have alot in common and I have enjoyed their company 2 yrs. now. I am looking into doing some more shows they do in NY - check out this website: <a href="http://www.americandollboutique.com/americangirl.html">http://www.americandollboutique.com/americangirl.html</a> Sandie really has a niche market and she is an excellent example of how to market your business.<br /><br />There is another interesting author who writes about Ghosts; you walk into the building and he has a big sign "Got Ghosts?" he draws a huge crowd -we get to hear very intersting stories all weekend. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/David-J.-Pitkin/e/B001JS1TV6/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1">http://www.amazon.com/David-J.-Pitkin/e/B001JS1TV6/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1</a><br /><br />This artist won for his category - congrats! <a href="http://www.elephantearstudio.com/home.htm">http://www.elephantearstudio.com/home.htm</a> He had some neat pottery, one thing called a yarn keeper for when you knit/crochet.<br /><br />These folks have been doing the show a long time: DePonceau's Aluminum trays and House of Leather. <br /><br />Well, Gabrielle & I got home late yesterday afternoon - she helped me unload a little bit. Now I have about 14 orders to fill between the show & website. And 4 more craft shows left this season. I will be starting work tomorrow - if you are waiting for me, I promise to work quickly but send lots of love with my dollies :)<br /><br />THANK you to all of you who visited me. I am still smiling :)Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-58412779022240553862011-09-15T19:11:00.001-07:002011-09-15T19:17:52.896-07:00Craft show "crazies"!Oy! I keep asking myself, do I really want to do that many craft shows/open houses? As I said yes to another today :) I really LOVE being around my customers and meeting new people, working on new projects. I LOVE it, it gets my creative juices flowing. I am just working like crazy and feeling the craft show crazies are taking over ;)<br /><br /><br />So I wanted to let you know some updates/changes to my schedule for local folks especially:<br />*Oct 8-10 - Letchworth in Mt. Morris, NY - GREAT 3 day outdoor show, I am inside (whew!) in a shelter.<br /><br />*Oct 22 - Local home show in Easton, PA - if you want to come, email for more info!<br />*Oct 29 - Northampton Community College, Bethlehem PA<br />*Nov 5 - First Baptist Church, Bethlehem PA<br />* Nov 12 - conrad Weiser HS PA<br /><br />If you are local and want any details on these shows to come, just email me!<br /><br />In the meantime, if you don't hear from me for a few days, yes I am in craft-show-crazies!!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-82163216140253341722011-09-11T05:03:00.000-07:002011-09-11T05:12:28.770-07:00Reflection time todayWow the last few weeks have just been a mess around here with flooding from 2 storms 2 weeks in a row. I've had to relocate my office/work area upstairs - thankfully we didn't have too much damage the 2nd time; first time was worse but we were able to get the water out fast with a pump. So glad my husband was home to deal with alot of that, it would have been so much worse! I was feeling aggravated/annoyed with the whole thing (clean up is a pain, moving our furniture around, drying out the flooring, etc.).<br /><br />Then, I saw these pictures today and realized how lucky we were the 2nd storm. If you have time to check these out:<br /><a href="http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/flooding-slideshow_2011-09-08?role">http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/flooding-slideshow_2011-09-08?role</a>=<br />I have to point out the one of the Gander Mtn. store - on my way to upstate NY I usually stop in Johnson City to eat lunch, there's a babies R us and a few great stores there that we go to, breaking up the trip. Binghamton NY is where I was born and I drive right through it to get to my family. And that is where I am heading in 3 weeks for my big show - Mt. Morris, NY.<br /><br />There are many more photos I have seen on facebook, so much devastation in northeast PA. My heart breaks for those people who have lost their homes, businesses, family, pets, etc. it's REALLY bad in some areas.<br /><br />I know today is a day of remembering for those who were lost 10 years ago; Believe me, my heart is heavy remembering exactly where I was when I heard the news. I lived in NJ at the time and I will never forget driving through neighborhoods with yellow ribbons around trees up and down the streets of those who were lost that day. <br /><br />I am also remembering and praying today for those who are dealing with devastation from the recent weather, please join me for a moment today to send prayers and good thoughts to those dealing with this mess.Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456837059839433384.post-90929995103898732682011-08-27T07:55:00.000-07:002011-08-27T07:57:50.994-07:00More dolls added!I finished adding most of what I had from the craft show - I am not done creating for the Halloween season though!

I am still smiling from all of the talk and people loving my dolls :) It keeps me going on the days when I am here by myself talking to those dolls, wondering if anyone will like them. Thank you to my customers who visited me!
<br />

<br /><div align="center">I am showing a few booth pictures. I never had a moment without a customer inside my booth - starting by about 6:30am. Which is good because.......</div>
<br /><div align="center">
<br /></div>
<br /><div align="center">We did have some icky weather - around noon, it started sprinkling a little; doesn't sound bad but I use all the tent sides to hang things up so my dolls were exposed and everyone grabbed some and ran for cover! A little water will ruin them. UGH that was stressful! Then, at about 3ish the wind started picking up, we were looking at the dark gloomy sky and I called "DONE" haha. We packed up - I had 4 helpers, so it was in record time. I got the truck (got yelled at too for coming in early) and loaded FAST. We were in our cars when the sky opened up and dumped. I am so grateful I had so much help that we were able to get out before anything was damaged.</div>

All you have to do to enter is be a follower of this blog - then, if you are interested in winning, just post a simple comment. Hi, I'd love to win a pattern; that's enough for me. If you have your own blog and would like to add a link to it in your comment for me and others to see, you can do that too. (but don't have to for entry, just a little promotion for you!)<br /><br />This week's winner will be picked on Thursday night, so have your replies in by 5pm EST on Thursday. We will be crazy busy on Friday packing up.<br /><br />I want to show pictures of some things I have for the show, maybe later in the week when Gramma gets here. Happy Sunday!Cindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09794078134951772882noreply@blogger.com8
