**Blog move**

When one door closes, another one opens...

Hello all!  The blog has moved.

You can now find me at www.sunrisefolk.blogspot.com .

The Indie Business class I recently finished has motivated me to get moving on starting my own business.  Originally I was going to go with the name Fellow Creatures.  When I did some digging, however, I found the name was already taken (by a very nice looking animal adoption agency!).  So, it was back to the drawing board.

It needed to be something that fit me and fit the feel of what my business will be.  My husband helped me go through the 20 little scraps of paper I had accumulated with ideas on them, and we came up with:

Sunrise Folk

I love it, and I hope you do too!  For the ease of keeping things "together", I switched the blog to the new name, opened an Etsy shop with the same name (items coming soon!) and have an e-mail at sunrisefolkcreations@gmail.com where I can also be reached.

The first steps have been taken and I can't wait to follow where this journey leads!  I hope you'll join me along the way.

Blessings

A paper tree for your Tuesday...

I love trees.

This is an album I spruced up awhile back.  

Not sure what it was originally supposed to house, 

but it has become the home of some very special little 'tid-bits'.

  

In downsizing/moving my craft stash to make room for the Little One on the way, I went through all my fabric.  I picked out the scraps (sometimes big) that had a special meaning/memory for me.  It seems like I've been hoarding some of these because I can't bear to let them go!

So, I decided to cut little swatches of them and store them in a memory book.  It's amazing to me that I can look at a scrap of polka dot material and remember exactly when and where I bought it, what I made with it and who I shared it with!

I have bits of my mom's old nightgowns that I used make doll blankets and some pieces I remember using with my Grandma to make dolls and embellish clothes for me.

Now, I feel liberated to use the rest of these fabrics for projects because I know I still have a piece of them safe with me.  Hopefully these fabric pieces will pass on all the love and care and years that are stored up in them.

Blessings to you!

Cloth Diaper Cake

My mom was here for a lovely visit and baby shower last weekend.  She had never been to a baby shower, but she put together all the games and did the decorations and it was a wonderful time!

One of her gifts to us was this diaper cake.  We're going to use cloth diapers, so she included a "layer" of those, as well as bright little towels, a cozy blanket, itty bitty spoons (for 'candles') and pinwheels!

How fun is that?!?!?

Thanks Mom!  We had a great visit!
