LOVE everyone participating in buying Handmade for the Holidays!! So special to give a gift that is unique and specially made for them!! Here are a few custom orders I have been working on!!

Girl Cape!!!! Glitta Glitta Glitta!! You can't see it in this picture but the inner layer is Polka Dots with a Glitta Shimmer to it! It will be perfect for this one of a kind little lady!

Corduroy Jumper!! Can't wait to see Lil C in her Christmas Dress!

Can't think of a better gift for a new addition to the family! So True!

I have been in burp cloth heaven this month. One order included 5 SETS!! I LOVED how this Boy set turned out!!

Another Girl Cape! Thought Wings on the Crest would be appropriate with the Owl lining and of course Glitta Trim on the bottom!!

Another Custom Little Lady Cape, Went with a flower crest to coordinate with the lining again! Her favorite colors are Orange and Red!

Girl Version of the Vinyl Snowman with a Fabric Scarf!!

Onesie Version of the Snowman Face made with Vinyl

New Design!! Burp and Onesie Set!!

I had enough time to squeeze out a tunic peasant top for a VERY special little lady with some corduroy that got lost in the piles last year!!

Gobble Gobble!!!

Whipped up these cuties today!! They are all T-shirt vinyl, the "girl" version has rhinestone eyes and the "boy" version has a vinyl bow tie. I can always add a saying "Wobble Wobble" "Gobble Wobble" "Turkey Tot" or their name at the bottom!!

KEY FOBS!!

2011-10-19T21:02:00.000-07:00

I originally made these just to put at the Beaucoup Boutique Booth in Edmond but, why not offer them EVERYWHERE?? They are a HOT item at the booth. Here are some that I have made.

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

2011-09-01T13:39:00.000-07:00

I have FINALLY made the plunge, thanks to my dear "Sister Wife" Miss Laura for pushing me over the fence, and rented some space in a Market Boutique here in Edmond, OK. Miss Laura herself is a budding crochet artist as well as craft diva (It's contagious ;) ) We decided to go in on it together, I will have some of my Kalicocraft items (gotta be careful of too many baby vendors in one place ;). I will still be taking and accepting custom orders of course. It is were I get to be FREE and learn new stuff. My Fans are the best and challenge me everyday! We are planning to have Ribbon Wreaths, Large Fabric Flower Totes, Snazzy Wood Picture Frames, Key Fobs, Miss Laura's Crochet Caps (Babies, Kids and Adults). For now I am going to carry Kalicocraft Crayon Aprons, Paparazzi Shades, Minky Blankets, Hoodies, some Tees and Onesies too. The Vendor Market (Beaucoup Boutique, on Lincoln just South of Bouncin Craze) has got some GREAT booths. Perfect to go and find a Gift as well. I think we are going to have a great time!! Beaucoup Boutique is going to start having "Trunk" shows as well. There will be an additional 25 vendors there on Saturday September 10, 2011 from 9:00am - 6:00pm. Should be a GREAT opportunity for y'all to sneak out for a bit and browse the booths. Really there is something for everyone there, great atmosphere etc. Questions or suggestions please let me know. Come check us out we should be up and running (hopefully) by Thursday, September 8th!!! Just in time for the trunk show and our space will be right before you walk in to the Trunk show!! SO EXCITED!!!! I better get to work!

Some new designs!!

2011-08-23T19:24:00.000-07:00

I was making my son's Party Favors today ( he is having a Ghostbusters Party and I made tees for each of his guests) and decided to make some new onesie designs while I was in a groove.

I am in LOVE with owls...who isn't right now? So, I just had to make a onesie and add a little Bling! to it!

FINALLY created an Artist Statement

2011-08-16T08:55:00.001-07:00

Artist Statement

Sewing is my sanctuary it brings me peace and makes me whole. I am free and in my element when in my Sewing and Craft Salon.

As a lifelong athlete, sewing was the furthest thing from my mind until I become a mother for the first time. Using skills my mother tried so desperately to get me to love I started to create what I could not find in the stores. The visions that were in my head came to life and what an amazing feeling that was and still is. I started to offer custom work and I now give their visions life. It brings me such tremendous joy to do that for others and see them enjoy and cherish my finished products. My mediums and skills are forever expanding and I will try to breathe life in to any vision that someone may have.

Crayon Aprons!

2011-08-03T20:02:00.001-07:00

My cousin emailed me with a link (as SO many of you do) to a Crayon Apron and asked if I could make her a couple for gifts. As usual I said sure, I'll give it a go. I made a test run apron for GFunk, in Monster Truck fabric of course! He thinks it is the coolest, we even use it as a Crayon Roll too. They are 10 inches wide, 8 inches long, with a 5 inch pocket, 16 crayon slots, and a 44 inch waist band.Here is a picture of one that I am going to list in my Etsy shop. Of course these can be custom made!

Halter Pillowcase Dresses

2011-07-29T20:07:00.000-07:00

I had a request for a Halter Pillowcase Dress. Why not?? So, I just took the Peasant Dress pattern and changed it a little here and there and added a ruffle at the bottom. I made one for my littlest one first and it is a GO TO in her closet. So stinkin' cute on!! Here are a few that I have completed in the last couple weeks. Sizes are 6m-8years.
