Two Magpies Collection

I would like to introduced my cousin Megan the owner of Two Magpies Collection. Not only is she balancing a career as a member of the Air Force, a wife and a mother of a sweet little boy, but she has decided to add an Etsy shop to her already busy life. She makes the cutest baby blankets and burb cloths, that make the perfect baby shower gift or just something soft and sweet for your own little one. I had a chance to ask her a few questions.

What’s your favorite piece of work that you have created?

I've attached a photo of my favorite blanket in my shop.  I just
love the bright colors and adorable dragons.

What are you working on at the moment?

Finishing up some more blankets.  I'm also excited to be working on
my first quilt.

Where else do you sell your work? 

So far just Etsy.  We'll see how things go and perhaps expand from there.

What else should we know about you and your work?

I'm a working mom and enjoy doing this basically during my child's
nap time.  I have found the process challenging and it's brought me
great joy.

Do you have any tips or inspiring words for others?

Nope, still getting my feet under me on this one.  But I would
encourage people to find their own creative outlets.

What inspires you?

I've always been someone who enjoyed crafting, I'm not quite sure
where that comes from, but it's always been there.  As far as this
particular venture, two things inspired me: first, having my child
seemed to shift my focus to working on creating baby items.  Second,
my mother gave me two blankets to use with my child that she had
originally made for me.  They were large and soft, and great for
putting on the ground for playtime.  I loved having these handmade
items from my mother, knowing the love with which she had made them.
I hoped I could share that with others.

What do you want people to know about your work?

Everything is soft and cuddly, and meant to be joyful.  Creating
these items has been great fun and I hope that comes through the work.

How did you get started?

A desire to learn to sew and make baby blankets for friends/family
