Turkey Dress

Being addicted to embroidery I am CONSTANTLY on the look out for things I can embroider.

A few weeks ago while shopping at Target I came across these super cute, simple corduroy dresses. My mind immediately went to...how cute would that be for thanksgiving with a turkey on it! Well thanks to Lynnie Pinnie and her super cute girly turkey design I was able to make a cute dress for Savannah for Thanksgiving!

Savannah has a Thanksgiving Feast at school on Friday and I can't wait for her to wear the dress to it! I am going to be making Scarlett one too, but I am not sure what fabric I will use yet!

Taking a break....

While this time of year I should be cranking out all the super cute holiday designs I have, I am afraid I just don't have the time. I have an extremely high energy 4 year old daughter and a now sneaky crawling 9 month old daughter. For those of you who don't know, I am in a wheelchair. Taking care of 2 is hard enough, now think about doing it from a wheelchair....yeah...it's difficult at times! lol! So with all this being said, I am going to take custom orders up until November 19th and then I am going to be done for the year. Between Thanksgiving (possibly traveling), a craft show Dec. 4th, and a trip to Dallas early December, and trying to get christmas present made, I just don't think I will have time to accept any more orders after the 19th.

In stock items will still be offered, but custom orders will have to wait until the first of the year.

I apologize for any inconvenience! I do, however, have another option for all your personalization needs! My friend Mary over at Banana Bear Boutique does AWESOME work! You can visit her Etsy shop and see what all she has to offer!

Thank you so much for understanding! =)

TuTu Tote

I really love when customers have special requests! I usually don't have enough hours in the day to be creative and make new things, let alone just do my "regular" projects. I was asked to make a TuTu Tote for a little girl for her birthday and I was instantly excited about the project! I thought it out very carefully for a day or so before I began and all of my careful planning paid off and the bag came together without a hitch! I think it turned out really cute and I look forward to making more!

I ended up using the tulle on a roll and OH MY GOSH it was so much easier to use than using the by the yard stuff! Plus it stores so much easier! Here is the bag with the tulle sewn into place. At this point I could also just add a ribbon around it and be done, but the customer wanted a fabric overlay....

So I broke out my new ruffler foot for my new(er) brother sewing machine and ruffled a strip of fabric. I will attempt to ruffle it a bit more for my next one and make the fabric about an inch longer. (This was my first one so there are always kinks to work out!)

Then I added a ribbon and bow and TADA!! It's done!

The possibilities and color combinations are endless! I think I am going to make a few Huskers totes for my craft fair in Dec!
