Indie Buisness 3.0 and MORE

It has been almost a year since I started blogging, it has been only 8 months since I started sewing and really still getting the hang of it all. But if you are like me, and wanting to start your own buisness, either a sewing, crafting, photography or a like type of company then you will want to sign up for Indie Buisness 3.0...we can be classmates AND the teachers are amazing.... go and check it out!

In the last few months I have been really struggling to try and find out better ways to make KPD my only form of income. I am currently reading two books which I highly recomend: Socianomics and Sociable, both teach you how to use your computer as you marketing tool. (I in no way was paid to endorse this I simply really found them interesting and helpful...)

So not sure how many of you this might help but I know I needed someone to help me, and I would love some company on this journey!!!

Please Vote Boy or Girl

Okay so I have been so super buys with KPD that I have had very little time to play with new ideas BUT that is changing as I have slotted in so "free time" sewing so that I can keep my sanity!! LOL... So I really really want to do some baby bedding... But I don't have an order or a friend to do it for so I am leaving it up to you guys.... and my facebook peeps (if you don't already like it please stop by and take a look... I post daily on there and am always adding new pictures.) to vote on either Boy bedding or Girl bedding. I have two sample charts that have 4 fabric selections, you are voting for the COMBINATION not and individual fabric. So let me know... Boy or Girl???

Featuring My Favorites Friday is Back!!!

Hi Guys I am back, I have been so busy with all that is 2 jobs, and being a mom on top of that, that I honestly needed a break... So for about a month I just simplified my life... took days off to just play with my babies... I feel much more refreshed and ready to come back... I was looking around and found these WONDERFUL ideas... I actually had a dream I was making the Love wreath.... HMMM... I think my crafting Mojo is back!!! Thanks for hanging in there. February marks one year on the blog so I am thinking a Giveaway.

Car Seat Cover and GIVEAWAY!!!

So I had a baby shower to go to, and my girlfriend knows she is having a girl, however, has not announced the name... So a name pillow wasn't going to work. As well... I moved my studio and to be honest have lost my flow because it hasn't grown on me yet... I liked my old space... (hubby did not.)

So this was my first project in the new year. As it rains here a lot, and can just generally have an "stepped out of the shower" cold feel I thought this would be awesome... something to keep her little lady warm and I think the minky makes it so it would be a little more quite when the little one wants to sleep.

This is a really fun and easy project... okay well if you have a spare infant carseat hanging around they are.

I have two posted... this pink damask one is flannel, there is a black and white polka dot one with hot pink minky... this is the one I originally blogged about but my uploader was down... and today when I went to upload it... hubby had accidentally lost it. SUPER... oh well you get the idea.

To see more stuff head over to my facebook page... not only will you see my day to day studio uploads you can also win some prizes. The GIVEAWAY ends tomorrow at midnight, "like" my page and change your fb status to I want to win a Kate Pixley Designs Giveaway and then tell me on my wall or in comments and you are entered!!!

The winners will receive one of these:
1. Make-up Bag
2.Coffee Cozy
3.Baby Headband (these are new to the shop)

So go on over and check it out.
