Busy Bees

Happy Valentine's Day to all of our Emery followers! Hopefully you all had a lovely week. Just a brief update to keep you guys in the loop. We had a busy weekend working on product for the art center project. We were shopping for fabric, scouring a couple of local shops for unique finds, giving out tours of our new crafting room, cutting fabric, and working side by side for the first time since we've started! We didn't even get a chance to take some pictures of some of our finished items, but we'll get some on here in the next week or so to give you a little preview. The main things we were working on were aprons, dish towels, coffee cozies and art roll-ups. There has been some questions about what the cozies and roll-ups are so here is some pictures like the ones we've been making:

The art center hosts lots of cooking classes and kid's art classes so you'll see that a lot of the items are going to center around those themes. They will continue to branch out as time goes on and as customers bring new suggestions & needs.

The sames goes for all of you. Any ideas you have that you'd like to see us make we're always open to new ideas. We've already had people suggesting dog products. We've noticed pet products are kind of a hot item in the handmade world right now so it's defnitely something we're open to. I mean we have to keep our puppies trendy too right?! Below is a cute collar we found on etsy. My husband and I joke about how our dog can chew up toys in no time at all and base new toys on how long we think they will last..."a ten second toy or a four minute toy". Anything stuffed is doomed from the start. I'd say this cute little flower makes it about a "1 minute collar" but still adorable and worth it maybe?!
