New Burlap Zipper Pouches + September Updates

I have been busy behind the scenes working away at several new sets of burlap zipper pouches for the Lina and Vi Etsy shop! I'm very excited to offer a new bundle set featuring one larger zipper pouch measuring 8" x  9" paired with a small 4" x 6" pouch. You will start seeing more bundles in our shop as we gear up for the holiday season ahead. Our small burlap pouch sets have been very popular, so I'm getting excited to offer more variations in sizes so that you can find matching sets for you or as a gift at a discounted price than buying them as singles. It's also a lot of fun for me to mix and match the designs!





This month, like many, seems to be flying by for me. What originally started as a pretty light month in terms of commitments and plans, it has filled up with lots of fun things for us! The season is changing here in Michigan, and I'm hoping to be able to spend as much time outside as possible before the cold sets in. I am not looking forward to those days, but the silver lining is that I'm hoping that I'll be spending my time inside in front of my sewing machine more. Looking ahead, I'll be taking a small weekend trip in October to celebrate my anniversary, plus we have birthdays and our first holiday of a stream of holidays coming up. It will be busy, but I am trying to focus on the good parts of being busy which is celebrating happy moments.

I recently discovered chatter around the book Girl, Wash Your Face. While I haven't read it yet as I'm waiting for it to become available at the local library, I have listened to a number of podcasts that Rachel Hollis shares on my way into work. I really like her conversation style, and many of her topics hit home for me. I have definitely become more into self-help topics in the last few years, and her podcast, as well as her book, speak to this area, especially for women and moms too.  Since I don't have formal schooling any longer, I like to pick up a self-help book every now and then to learn how to improve. We can all be better people, and if it means leading a more positive and happy life, I am game. Have you read the book? What do you think? Leave me a comment! You can find her Let's Rise podcast here.

Hope you have a great weekend!
