Super Fun

I am so thrilled at how well my custom super hero/prince/princess capes have been selling. They are so much fun to make and I just love putting fun fabrics together. Seriously, every time I finish a cape it makes me smile. I tried to narrow down the amount of pictures I put in this post, but it was super hard. If you want to see even more that I have finished recently you can check out my album by clicking here. And if you want more info on ordering you can send me a message or see my etsy listing.

 

The Evangeline

I just absolutely love this dress. I’ll apologize right now for all the pictures in this post…

It doesn’t help that my model is so stinkin cute!

When I first started looking for dress patterns I didn’t really care for this one at all, but I saw someone wearing something similar and decided to try it out. I love it and everything about it! It is so feminine and lovely and the big bow on the back is dreamy.

The Evangeline was made from this tutorial from Sew Happy by Carrie and I was impressed with the tutorial and pattern, as well as the excellent communication from Carrie. Please know that the sizes do run large though!

The Evangeline. Sizes 18months- 5T. $35

Fantastic Custom Order

I had a custom order this past week that I am so excited about! My customer asked for me to sew her something she could put a notepad and pen into.  I absolutely loved the result!

There is a large pocket, small pocket, and two spaces for pens. I am going to make another one for myself and use it for grocery shopping. I can put my notebook into the large pocket and my coupons into the smaller one. (I’m not such a super couponer yet that I would need more than that. I am playing around with a coupon organizer idea though.)

And, I have a custom order to make two more (one for business cards and one for a passport). I went to the fabric store and bought a bunch of different fabrics. There were a ton on sale and I may have went a little overboard. Miracle was with me and she kept saying, “ohhh, I just love that one.” Fun!

(I listed this in my Etsy shop if you are interested or you can contact me if you want one.)

Also, Axel and Miracle had a birthday party last weekend for our not so little anymore buddy Jack. The kids choose bean bags for his gift and even though I’ve done them a couple times as gifts I agreed. My kids love their bean bags and play with them almost every day. I was running low on boyish fabric, but don’t worry I picked up a few more!

New Camera and the Return of Pictures

I finally got a new camera. It is so pretty and pink. My old camera was accidentally left somewhere and someone decided to take it home with them   Life goes on. The new camera is a Kodak Easyshare same as my old one. Just a different model, and it has some cool new features I am excited to play with.

So now I can take pictures of all the projects I have been working on the last couple of weeks! I have gotten a lot done and am excited to share them with you.

Card of the Day:

This is a custom order from one of my good friends. She needed some gift cards for her massage therapy business. I love how they turned out!

A New Addition and a Special

I am celebrating the addition of altered clipboards to my etsy shop! I am really excited about them and think that they are so fun. Clipboards are so versatile and can be the perfect gift. If you can not find a style you like in my shop please send me a message and I would love to work with you to create the perfect clipboard to fit your style. I have so many paper styles and themes to choose from.

I have one hung on the wall in my kitchen for my lists and I use one around the house for keeping track of my shop orders. My son has one that he uses in the car and for practicing writing. I also am making one for my husband for his mailing list sign up at his cd table.

Some themes include: babies, kids, love, pets, girly, punk, music and oh so much more! These would be perfect gifts for teachers, teens, musicians, kids…. anyone!

To help me celebrate I am offering a special for the month of November. When you purchase one clipboard at the regular price of $15 each additional clipboard will be $10. Stock up now for all your holiday gifts.
