Welcome Home Daddy!!

Made this outfit for my girl Kennedy. Well I guess it was really for her mama! Kenners wore this to welcome home her Daddy from his second tour in Iraq just last week!! So glad it made it all the way to Europe (where they are stationed) on time!!

Welcome Home Brian!! We are so thankful for you!!

Custom Outfit

This is what I can do when you bring me a fabric (or two, or three, or four!) you love! My friend Charity brought me these two coordinates and a spool of ribbon because she loved the colors and pattern, and here's what I made for her sweet daughter Abigail.





I ruffled the ribbon with my handy dandy ruffling attachment (I really don't think I could live or do business without it!) and made a nice textured trim for the hem on the shorts and top. Fun!!



.... elasticized neck for safety and fabric shoulder ties... completely adorable!!



This is a Tooth Fairy Pillow I worked up real quick this week. I'm embarrassed at the poor picture.. I thought it had come out better. The ribbon accent is yellow. I also failed to get a photo of the back of the pillow, which had a shiny silver "...zoom zoom..." embroidered on the bottom right corner.



I will be making more of these! Such a cute little thing you need when your baby gets his or her first loose tooth!

Happy New Year!

I've been busy the last two weeks starting some new projects for the new year and finishing some projects from 2008. I took a little breather around Christmas, if you can call it that, to be with family and get family Christmas gifts done. Now I'm ready to get crafting again!

My baby turns one this weekend, so I have been busy getting her perfect princess outfit done, complete with tutu. Her birthday present is a new idea I had for a collage of frames. I'm thinking about adding these to my store. There are no photos in the frames yet, but you get the general idea. I also made a few other outfits and have several more in process.

New Projects

I've been teaching myself how to applique, and my mom taught me how to use the ruffler on my sewing machine. That is my new favorite toy! It makes perfect ruffles everytime and is very easy to use! Here are the photos of some of the new things.
