so, it was called the grand opening....

And it WAS GRAND :) Woohoo, the mother-load of work is FINALLY done! Fine tuning is in order, but <>things have run smoothly today! In case you missed the HUGE pic on the front of my site.....

Make sure you sign up for my mailing list so you are entered to win some mad-fab fab!


A few things to share:















I have been working on this super secret project, turning Susan Van Horn's art into a few appliqué patterns. More in the works. I have them on my website, but I also am auctioning a three-set on ebay.
Also, the jaynes are promoting my new website with a series of auctions using fabric, patterns and notions that can be purchased on my site. Check it out here!

.... new beginnings.......

I think I am the last person on the PLANET to have a blog..... Doesn't everyone that starts a new blog start it out with a statement just like that?! Whatever.


But...I digress. I have big plans for this blog. It's going to be a little bit personal, a little bit business and a whole lotta rock and roll.


So, what's the blog-ettiquette here?! Am I supposed to introduce myself? What info do I include? Who is even reading this....?


I guess for tonight I will wing it with this: My name is jennity-jen-jen, but you can just call me jen. I am a mother, a wife and a soon-to-be purveyor of fine things... but more on that down a paragraph or two. We are the Coe-6. The Coe-6 is full of many, many, MANY new beginnings these days. BUT most notably are these two:
The boys both had to get glasses. Apparently they both suffered from eye strain. Now, don't go rushing off to submit me for mother of the year.... I think I am still in the running to win America's Next Top Mom. But seriously, who knew that too much up close time (read-PS2, Wii, Toontown and for Camden, reading anything he can get his hands on) can cause some serious eye strain that only glasses (or a time limit on such activities) can resolve. Hmp. I truly learn something new everyday.






And the other new beginning in the Coe-6 is..... my online fabric happy place is, like, almost ready to go! It has been SO much more work than I had ever thought. True to my blog-title, I love me some fabric. But, lets just say after ordering, photographing, cataloging, describing and lovingly caressing hundreds of bolts of fabric, fabric and I need some counseling to repair our relationship. I am feeling a little bitter about fabric, and frankly, MIGHT have experienced too much of a good thing. I think fabric and I need some time apart.

So, here is a picture of some baskets I made up that are eventually going to be prizes for a random, lucky person who signs up for of my mailing list before the end of September. The grand prize basket has 9 yards of fabric and the smaller basket has 4.5 yards. Now, there isn't much in life better than a little basket of free, fabulous fabric is there???!!!!
