New Tools & Clearance Sales

This year, I have been slow to get back to work, but trying to take a small break after a very busy Christmas season! Yet I am excited about the New Year and New tools I now have for my business!   I am working on getting my shop ready for the new year, doing inventory of supplies & merchandise.  I am also starting to learn a NEW bookkeeping program, which is going to be quite a challenge, since bookkeeping isn't my forte! Ha !  I have been learning how to use my NEW sewing machine, however there so much I don't know so am going to start classes on Wednesday.   I also got a NEW phone on January 1st. 

I am also trying to do some clearance in my shop so I have reduced the prices of all pillows on my website. Click here:   www.beckyspillowshop.com/apps/webstore  Check out your favorite team pillows, kids  pillows, & more.  Great prices as low as $6.00!   

I  have a few Valentine items in my Etsy shop including heart shaped pillows!  You can click here to see my selection.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/beckyspillowshop?section_id=16586230&ref=shopsection_leftnav_2

Goodbye 2014 & Welcome 2015!

Happy New Year !

2014 was a good year for my business, and it has grown a lot partly due to my new line items I started this year and also due to one new farmers’ markets I have been participating in once a month.   As a result, I have made new friends, and got involved in some crafting groups where other craft business owners  network and give each other advice.   This year I have added infinity scarves, backpacks, cosmetic bags, to my brand.  I would like to thank all of my fans who have helped my business in some fashion this year.      

I had a very stressful year in 2014 due to my 2 aging parents with dementia.  I had to move my dad to a new home two times within 3 months, and I didn't have any help from family.  There were times when I thought I was going to lose my sanity,  but with friends praying for me, God helped me survive  the storms! So, I am praying for a much better 2015 with much less stress! 
  I got some unique surprises this Christmas including a package from Santa Claus, and also got some other gifts I wasn't expecting!    It took me a while to guess who played Santa,  but I finally figured it out a few days after Christmas! 

Also, I got a nice new toy for Christmas to myself and my business!!   A new sewing machine Viking Opal 650!  I am really excited about what I will be able to do with this new machine, and it will definitely make my life a lot easier and be beneficial to my business!!

Today, I am off to see my Dad at the nursing home and to pick up a much needed brand new cell phone!  The one I currently have has been replaced 3 times in 2.5 years, and currently has it’s own agenda . Lol.  After charging it all night, it sometimes says the battery is below 5 percent!  This has gone on for a while now & I finally decided it was not the battery but the phone!  Anyway, I am excited about what the new year will bring .  Hope you all have a Happy, Healthy & Safe New Year!  May God bless you in 2015!  

Many of my items have been reduced for clearance in my Etsy Shop, ( see the clearance Sale items section.)  and on my web site.

Fall Season Schedule & Christmas Open House

It's hard to believe that it is October already and soon we will be in the holiday season. I have been very busy doing a lot of sewing and I even made a couple Christmas aprons already! I am also busy taking care of my Dad and will soon have a lot more to do with gathering paperwork for him at the nursing home.  I have hit many roadblocks trying to get power of attorney, but finally today is the day!  It will make things much easier now!   

I have several vendor events line up for the rest of the year and one of them is my Open House on the weekend before Thanksgiving.  See dates and times below.  

Anyone is welcome!  Stop in and see my new " Shop" in my house, and have some light refreshments and get some Christmas shopping done a little early!  I will also be taking special orders for Christmas that weekend! 

Friday, Nov. 21 -  1 pm-7 pm

Saturday, Nov. 22 - 10am- 7pm

Sunday 1pm- 7pm 

I am working on some more messenger bags for Christmas this year.  I sold 2 recently to one of the vendors at Purcellville.  He bought one for the little girl in the picture.  As you can see the strap was so long it came down to her ankles.   Later I found her and adjusted the strap as far as it would go so it would be easier for her to carry.  I asked her what she had in the bag, and she said " my stuff".  I think she had some toys in it. She was so cute, probably around 7 years old.
  The small drawstring bags pictures below have suede or faux suede strings, and are great for jewelry, or a child to put small toys or change in it, or you can use as a small gift bag or  gift card. I  will be making more out of Christmas fabric. They would be great to fill with candy for  a gift card to someone for Christmas.  Stay tuned!

 





 Here is my schedule for vendor events for the rest of the year:

Nov. 1-  Purcellville Town Market
Nov. 8 - A Mom's Catalog Event at Quality Inn in Harpers Ferry, WV
Nov. 21-23  Becky's Pillow Shop Christmas Open House
December 7 - Christmas Craft Show in Chambersburg, PA  Brethren Church
