A little bit about 3D

It was suggested to me that I should keep a store blog, and since I love blogging, I figured I would go ahead and set one up!

A little bit about me...my name is Sherry, and I have been married to the love of my life for the past 19 years. He is a professional chef and barista, and even though he isn't working in the field at the moment, it is where his heart is. We have four brilliant, beautiful children...our son who is 17 (next month to be 18...sniff sniff) and thinks he is going to head off to join the Marines at the end of the summer :( , our totally spoiled, beautiful princess who just turned 16, a son who is 10 and has given me some heart wrenching moments and also been my easiest child...followed by my baby boy who turns 5 next month (the day after his oldest brother), and has made up for his middle brothers easy going ways by being my most challenging child! He absolutely cannot be alone and is my shadow. He can probably sew better than I can at this point! hahaha But, there is never a dull moment in our house, and I like it that way!

We are also hoping to adopt a sibling group from Ethiopia later this year...as if life isn't crazy enough as it is! It isn't easy as we are coming to realize, and we may not be able to adopt the three we have fallen in love with. Your prayers in this matter would be greatly appreciated! You can read more about our adoption process on our blog, The Journey to Africa.

So, about my craft...my love for sewing began 25 years ago when I was introduced to quilting by my Nana and my Aunt Peg, and it naturally progressed into sewing cloth diapers and clothing when my first child was born in 1990. I added embroidery several years ago and have been enjoying that aspect combined with handmade children's items ever since. I have two venues online where I sell my creations, my main store DeebleDdo, and my Etsy Store. Since I make and sell quite a few different items, I tend to list cloth diapers, covers, and diaper clothing sets in my main store and leave the Etsy store for other craft items like I Spy bags, quilts, stuffed toys, and other cloth diapering related items, though you will see cloth diapers in the Etsy store as well...I shift inventory frequently to get more exposure.

I think every customer at some point has asked me about the store name. When I had my last baby in 2003, his nickname became DeebleDdo, or 3D for short. When I sold my former business in May 2007, I didn't think I would ever get back into the cloth diaper world, and yet I can't seem to stay away because cloth diapers are just so fun to make! But, I needed a unique name and 3D was the first thing that popped into my mind. :)

I will be using the blog to keep my customers informed about the status of their custom orders and to announce themes or new items that I am working on. The comments section is open and I read them all, so please feel free to leave me messages in that way, and of course you can use the email link in the sidebar to get a hold of me.

Thank you for your friendship and patronage!

Sherry
