The Sewcial House

Hey local friends!!!
TOMORROW (Tuesday) the Busy Bee Expressions opens! They are down on Second Street where Blue Pumpkin used to be.
Come shop local! Many local small businesses and artists have stuff there. You can find several of my staples down there! I’ll be making some jam soon too, so you can get your fix before Honey Haven opens!
You can find all of my soaps and flannel scarves there, as well as baby gift/soft goods. Go check it out! Inventory is always changing!

Happy New Year everyone!
May all of your troubles be as short lived as most resolutions 😂

Here’s a new item I’ve been working on and experimenting with!
These are luffas from my garden last summer, they are finally starting to dry out! They are dried naturally and unbleached. They help with natural exfoliation.
The scents are light and not overwhelming. Cotton rope for longer life span in the shower.
Essential oils are a high quality, and paired with a goat milk soap base.
Those of you who know me, my skin is terribly sensitive. However, it loves this soap base!
They are all hand blended and poured.

What’s your favorite scent blend?
I’m looking for delightful new combinations to pour!

Current ones I’ve made so far:
Lavender Lemongrass
Orange Chamomile
Vanilla Sandalwood
Bergamot Jasmine
Lavender Eucalyptus
Citrus Sunrise- grapefruit, orange, lemon, bergamot

Hey friends! Sorry it’s been a while, what a crazy summer!
For those of you who don’t know, I’ve started working full time at AU as Production Assistant of Eagle Custom Designs. I’m still doing alterations and such on the side, and the store has partnered with me on being able to bring things to the store. Come see us for all of your custome shirt needs, as well and embroidery and engravables! We are not limited to only AU items!

Also, the garden has gone INSANE!
More things heading up to honey haven this week! Corn Salsa and pickled hot peppers are in the docket this weekend!

Who knew happiness could come in the form of gardens? I have climbers on the “Squarches” already! All of my plants are looking happy and healthy💖
It’s going to be a prolific canning season!
Also picked my first zucchini today, snack time!!!
Jams and Jellies are making their way to the market if you need an early fix!

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!
Here’s a memory t-shirt quilt that I recently finished, it turned out wonderfully!
The bottom right corner was a custom designed embroidery square. I digitized his handwriting from a scanned image and converted it into embroidery. We can laser engrave things like that too!

I do take the finished top to the local Amish for embroidery and binding. These quilts are a team effort!

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone!

I would like to introduce you all to Second Act Acres! She’s almost completed... I have 2 squash arches to install yet, and a few tomatoes that aren’t ready to leave the greenhouse house yet.

Can’t wait for produce to start popping! My experimental Tater towers have exploded!!!

Anyone bored this weekend and want to get dirty?? 😁 free beer!!

Irrigation and w**d block down. 27 tomatoes in and caged so far! Lots more goodies to go in yet. So tired... but it will be worth it!

Despite allergies, this is one of my favorite times of the year!! My shelf is stocked and ready to start a record canning year! (This isn’t even all of it... The quarts wouldn’t fit 😂)

Lots of jams, jellies, pickles, salsas, stupid hot stuff will be rolling up to Honey Haven Farm starting in June! I have some new jellies & jams coming your way!

If anyone has something they would like to see, let me know!

Now taking orders for Memory Bears and Pillows!

Pillow cost ranges from $15-$35 depending on size needed for each shirt, and quotes in embroidery or patches.

Bears start at $45, they require more time and supplies.

You guys!!!!!!!
They have a sewing Bitmoji!!!!

Many others on the docket for the next couple of days! (And making masks in between batches!)

Coming soon to Honey Haven Farm when the market opens next month!

At Meijer’s today we saw two different people wearing my masks. It made my heart happy to know I’m helping people I don’t even know.💜
Stay safe friends!

A dear friend sent me this. It’s 10000% accurate. Every word of it.
I’m getting requests from all over the country. Thank you to everyone who is promoting and supporting me during this time. 💖 I love you all.
This is a hard time for everyone, please understand when I tell you I’m a week out on orders. Especially after the most recent guidelines from our own Governor. Everyone needs them. Mask makers are just one person, not industrial machines.

Thank you everyone for your continued support. Support others as well. We appreciate the thank yous & the family mask photos. We truly can’t wait till we can HUG someone. 💖

Here’s some things that run through my head every day. But knowing my skill is needed keeps me going. These are things a lot of people just can’t wrap their head around.
💜Please remember that I haven’t taken a day off in 6 weeks, because your safety matters to me.
💙I haven’t had the same opportunity to clean and organize, because your safety matters to me.
💚Please understand that I’ve spent decades acquiring what fabric I do have. Most of it can’t be replaced. And I’m offering it up to you.. because your safety matters to me.
💛That stash costs money. And a lot of it. Fabric stores are becoming just as depleted as the toilet paper isle. Options are limited. Please understand if I don’t have that perfect option for you. Your safety still matters.
🧡If I could afford give away masks to every single person who needed it... I would. But good will doesn’t pay bills. I’m fighting the same fight as everyone, and If I go hunt for a job, that’s less masks I can make... for your safety.
❤️Supplies are costing more and taking longer to get. It goes beyond fabric. Thread (I’ve gone through 20,000 yards so far). Machine Needles (I’ve broken 35 so far.. nose wires 🤦🏻‍♀️). Sharpies first tracing (I’ve killed 8 so far. When’s the last time you killed a sharpie before you lost it? I destroy at least 3/week). A number in fabric? I’ve gone through at least 50 yards so far. I might have lost count...
Seriously.. I have a seamstresses graveyard happening over here 😂😆
