Happy Weekend!

Have a great weekend everyone! I am working on some new purses and skirts. I will hopefully be adding a few more things to the shop early next week, until then Happy weekend!

:)

Whoops....

Just added this sweet skirt to my etsy shop! This skirt is being discounted because it is slightly imperfect. Yup.. I even make mistakes! :)
The skirt started it's life as a longer version of my wraps and then whoops got caught in my serger.. I did manage to salvage it. It is soooo beautiful! The measurements are slightly bigger than the average short skirt because I had to recut the waist. Other than that it is still a beautiful unique skirt & you probalbly wouldn't of noticed if I didn't say anything. (but I am honest like that!)

Happy Thursday! :)

2 New skirts...

....are in the shop! I am slowly making some progress. I will hopefully have a few more early next week. The chandelier printed fabric with the birds is my favorite, if you guys don't snatch it up I may have to keep it for myself!

:)

Something crafty for ya...

I have been trying to dream up some new things for the *New* shop! I have a new skirt style I will be working on and a few other things that I have yet to attempt. I did however create these cute headbands with some wonderful colors of felt I had. I think they are really sweet and so cute in your hair. :) I am gonna be sewing up a storm today while jammin' out to some good music! (The kids are finally back in school!) I love my kids.. but I don't get much done when they are home! Back to work for me!
Have a great day!

Exciting news.....

I have some exciting news for you all( well anyone that reads this anyway)! I am re-opening my store front. I just rented a cute space on the other side of town. I will be able to get in there in about two weeks.. but then I need to paint and address the carpet and get it all just perfect. I am hoping to open by mid March.

The new shop will be very different from my shop downtown. I am sooo excited and have sooo many ideas and not to mention fabulous local and not so local artists joining me. The new shop will be my version of urban meets vintage and mostly handmade. ;) I will keep you posted on the progress and as soon as I actually get the keys I will start posting some pics.

Stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!

CRASHED!!!!

Our computer that is.. it crashed on Monday! Uuggh! My life has been crazy since.. I realized how much I am on the computer and how much it is in my daily routine! Anyhow.. after a new hardrive and the amazing people at Neleven dowtown Oshkosh. I am back in action! :)

I just sent off some goodies to Anthology.. totes and patchwork belts(sooo cute by the way & I forgot to take pics!). I will be on a feild trip with Jada all day tomorrow(snowshoeing.. I am pretty excited!) & then hopefully back into sewing mode! I have lots of new fabrics that are waiting to become lovely wearable skirts! :)

I hope your week was off to a better start than mine!

Talk to you soon!

Color week: Stripes & plaids

Today is the final day of Color week started by Leya over at Curious bird. I had fun it was the first time I have participated in any of these bloggy things out there. I really enjoyed the colors especially this time of year! We have seen so much snow this winter color is more than welcome!

Today is freezing cold the kids are off of school again. It is fun having them home & I really miss that! Jada made us all french toast this morning. She is quite the cook!

Todays colors was not hard at all. I looooove plaid. Some newly thrifted vintage fabrics & my purse handmade by moi, that I just love.

I am hoping to get a few skirts in my etsy shop today so check back a little later! The one I finished last night is soooo cute! ;)

Stay Warm!

Color week: Pink

I looove pink ... can ya tell?? My sign, my signature ribbon. Some cute light pink suitcases I use to hide stuff in & my favorite owl bank I got for christmas last year! It is -40 degrees here with the windchill and we are cooped up in the house. School is cancelled. The kids are playing and I plan on getting some sewing done. Stay Warm! I am soooo ready for spring! ;)

Color week... YELLOW

I have a few yellow things... I recently fell in love with that color this summer! A yellow angel *handmade* by my daughter and for sure one of my favorite christmas gifts. The vintage yellow flower pot that holds my clothing labels as well as some of my favorite crafty books!Which by the way were actually already organized in a nice yellow fashion! :)

I am off to a late start blogging today.. but I have been busy, busy. Cleaning our family room.. getting rid of a few things & picking up my sewing machines! Yay! They are done & I will be getting some new things ready to post by early next week I promise! Have a great Wednesday!

Purple.....

I love Purple... Which is funny I found quite a few things but these are my favorite. My vintage mannequin that I spray painted & my sewing scissors ... always purple so I know which ones cut fabric! :)

Color week.... Blue

I am participating in color week ....check it out here curiousbird . We are home safe and sound from our long trip to Eau Claire. The funeral and everything was such a great tribute to Jakes' Grandpa. I took some family pics and will share those next week. I am waiting for my sewing machines to get repaired and back to sewing bus. it will be. Until then join me this week for color week.
Today is blue! :)

♥ Valentine hair clips! ♥

Valentine hair clips are showing up in the shop. I have more I will be posting so keep checkin' back. My sewing machine broke yesterday as I was finishing up a few things.... so needless to say there will not be any new skirts or totes until next week. Sorry! I do have quite a few things I am mailing off today to Madison, new purses & accessories for Anthology. :)

On a sad note Jake's Grandpa passed away yesterday. We are really sad & will miss him terribly. He was a very neat and caring man, especially to our kids.. They love Grandpa Ray! We will be heading out of town at the end of the week for his funeral. I will probalbly be a bit quiet here until next week.

I'll be in touch!

A clean slate....

Look at what I have been working on... CLEANING my sewing room of course! I also received a nice email this morning from a kind etsy seller telling me one of my lovely new purses was in her treasury... so cute! Check it out here!

Here are some pics of my newly organized sewing room. Look at that beautiful stack of fabric I get to work on! Off to sew I have sooo much to do! Happy Monday! :)

Happy New Year!

I am sooo excited for this new year! I feel like I am off to a fresh start. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We did and I am enjoying every bit of just hanging out with my kids and my husband before they are all back to school & work on Monday! We have been quite busy.. sledding, iceskating & hanging with family in Eau Claire!

I really have one new years goal this year and that is to slow down and enjoy what I have, meaning my family, business all of it.. just life in general! oh and to stay organized (meaning my sewing room)!LoL! 2008 was such a crazy year for me.

I am ready for 2009!I have totally reorganized my sewing room & I just ordered some amazing new fabrics so that I can get some of the ideas out of my head.hehe! I also will be changing my shipping in my etsy shop to international shipping as well.

I hope you all are getting off to a good start in 2009.. I will have lots of new things to post soon!


Here are some cute pics of the kids with their favorite christmas gifts! :)
