Excited!

I know how I have mentioned about a billion times that I love chevron but I really do.  Love this aqua chevron clutch with the orange flower!  (so I am excited about this)



I also just finished up two pocket clutches




I made a couple things for myself as well.  A friend and I are getting ready to do the Color Run  (I am REALLY excited for this) and you are suppose to wear all white.  I made a headband for each of us

I also wanted to make a cross body bag because I have a feeling we are going to need to carry some things with us.  There will be 23,000 people there so I don't think we will be able to keep stuff in the car that we will need.  What I am most excited about is that I made this from my head... no pattern!  Yeah, it is nothing too fancy but for my first one on my own I am excited



I plan on doing some crafts with the kids later on in the summer with some dye so I will probably dye it blue and use it for our library books and what not.


Now for some exciting news for you!  There are 4 Mondays left in the month of July and for each Monday of the month I will be doing some type of giveaway on my Facebook page.  So make sure you like it to keep up with all of the giveaways and details!

Tooth Fairy Pillows

Brook asked if I could make some tooth fairy pillows for her darling little ladies.  I was very excited to do so and I love the way they came out.  Each tooth is a pocket to hold the tooth until the tooth fairy can arrive.  With the ribbons your little one can hang it on their door knob to make it easier for the tooth fairy to get it in the middle of the night.  Nothing worse than that tooth fairy having to fumble trying to get that tooth!

For some reason my computer is not allowing me to rotate the pictures so just lean you head a little bit until I can get it fixed...lol

They were each personalized on the back as well

I just love Chevron

I am just in love with chevron fabric... I talk about, I daydream about it.  Yes, it is quite sad how much I love it.  I think the fact that it is hard to get makes it that much more desireable.  I mean who doesn't want what they can't have??
Here is a clutch that is in the mail on its way to Mandi

Here is the inside with two magnetic clasps and a pocket


I also just made this bracelet that I am loving right now... so fun.  I can't wait to experiment in new colors!

Angry Birds!

 Gaven and Chris are turning 4 and just needed these tees to help them celebrate

I think the pig makes it!
Charlie and Lily are turning 3 and they are celebrating with a Sesame St party. 
Charlie has Cookie

and Miss Lily has Abby with a long tutu and yellow pig tail holders of her own

and lastly here is another bracelet with a "BELIEVE" connector piece


Finally working on some tooth fairy pillows for Miss Stella and Miss Harper!

Fresh Start

I have been saying over and over in my head that I need to get things going again.  I have been keeping busy with private orders or making things for myself.  Then came along a local craft fair that I found out about 2 weeks ago and it was the kick in my pants that I needed to really get going again. 
I am in love with these macrame bracelets



Then I figured out how to make these nifty flowers


and I found a no-slip grip for them that kept one in Bella's hair all day.... it is sad to say how excited that made me.
Then there is chevron fabric... how I love thee....


I have a yellow one as well but I am totally infatuated with this teal one that is backordered everywhere.  I never thought I would be as in love with fabric as I am.  Yes... again, I am very sad ;)
Super cute

For the tooth fairy.... the tooth is a pocket

An oldie but a goodie.... I think this is my favorite onesie

Then some ties for little boys


I have some fun things coming up and will be relaunching my Etsy shop, starting a Facebook fan page and will be having a giveaway or two coming up.  So stay tuned!

Amy Butler's Cosmo Bag....

I finally had time to try the Cosmo bag from Amy Butler's Style Stitches (http://www.amazon.com/Amy-Butlers-Style-Stitches-Wonderful/dp/0811866696 )  .  
It was harder than I anticipated but I love the way it turned out.

It is larger than I thought but I never really checked the measurements, I just fell in love with the bag.  It would be perfect for a diaper bag or a weekender, I think it will be a little too large for everyday use




It has tons of pockets  (2 on either side and 4 large ones on the inside)

I would love to try another one for everyday but I would shrink the pattern next time.
Now... I need to find a pattern for a matching wallet :)

New stuff ...

I got to try a couple of new things these past couple of months.  One of them being a DJ Lance Shirt.  I was not sure how I could make it but I am pleased with how it came out.  A friend ordered the whole crew for her daughters for Christmas
(sorry for the crummy picture)

I also did some vintage plane tees

I got the chance to make some super-hero outfits for some little ladies.  Pictured is the pink one but I also made a lavender one (they must be some dynamic duo)

Here is the first clutch purse I have made for Pam

it has double magnetic closure and one pocket inside


This little one is for Megan who is going to have a baby girl soon.... this will be perfect to throw in her diaper bag.  It has two pockets to hold just what she needs


And here are some things for the little lady once she gets here
A little white cocoon with a removable flower.  There is also a matching flower on a skinny elastic headband

A long stocking cap

and a bear hat
