Boutique dress top & Ruffle bottoms

The lady at the quilt store (where I get my fabric) gave this mermaid fabric to Madeline. She also gave me bags full of ruffles!!!!

Another outfit for Hydie

Diaper Diva!!! I made the pants and designed the layout for the embroidery. Isn't it darling?

My latest creation for Madeline...

I made Madeline some ruffled capris and the cutest peasant top. The patterns are from www.youcanmakethis.com. I have found a bunch of patterns there.

Whooo hooo I was crafty!!!

Wow, what a productive weekend! I feel like I got so much accomplished this weekend. I think I am keeping myself busier lately so I don't have to think about the fact that one of my best friends already moved to the other side of the country and that my other best friend is moving even farther... St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. I'm bummed she is leaving, but I'm super excited to visit her someday down there.

Jade brought her embroidery machine over the other day. She figured she'll get more use out of it here. I have to admit, it is so much more fun to have someone to sew/craft with. We spent the day yesterday making lots of things.

I made the cutest ruffle pants for her daughter Hydie.
Jade made her lil onesie and I put together the hairbow for her. So, then she was just too cute to not take pictures of.



I made Bubba some pirate jammie shorts and Jade made him the cutest shirt to go with them. He was so excited we found BOY fabric at the quilt store.




A couple days ago Lisa and I made pants for Abby and Maddie. I love this pattern! I found it on www.youcanmakethis.com .


I think that is about all I have pictures of for now. Lisa and I made purses yesterday, too, but I haven't taken pictures of mine yet.

I am planning on making some peasant tops/dresses today for the girls along with some more pants. I need to do some serious bow production, too!

My craftroom

I love my craftroom!!! My husband has been great in making things for me.

I use rain gutters to organize my punches and my ribbon! This was my best organizational idea I think I’ve ever had.

This is the workbench my husband built for me. I love it because it is tall enough I can stand at it to cut fabric or to stamp. I can seat 12 around it too for my classes.

I store my fabric underneath in totes.

Here is my ‘office’ area.

I have another table like the white one that I use for my sewing area.

I also have an 8’x4’ sheet of pegboard on one wall. It is great for getting things up off my tables.

Bows, bows and more bows!

I have discovered a new love! MAKING HAIRBOWS! I am also rekindling my love for sewing. I am working on some really cute boutique outfits for Maddie Grace. We made tutus and hairbows for the girls at her birthday party. They were so cute and so much fun to make.

So, follow along on this blog, as I discover yet another hobby/passion in crafts.
