HOUSEKEEPING

Order CUT OFF DATE will be APRIL 1st, 2013 until after we move and get settled in Californ-I-A! With a goal of all orders being complete by the end of April. At that time I will be concentrating on our move and will notify all once back up and running. Do not be surprised if it is not until the Fall of 2013!

I need to clarify the Order Process: 

Once we have confirmed your order details I will send you an online invoice. That invoice is to be payed promptly (as in within a few, few being 3 days). The "due" date that is confirmed in discussions is based on this. If you delay your payment, your order is then delayed. I cannot guarantee your order will be received on or by your "due date" if you delay payment. I will no longer order items or materials BEFORE payment is received. 

On to HAPPIER Notes!! I am off to Californ-I-A with the Hubs next week to take a peak at what and where we will be living in a few months. While I am gone I have decided to have a CONTEST!! It will be on the Kalicocrafts Facebook Page.

Here is the FB Post:

"While I am out in Cali next week how about a contest???? Thinking about those who have received or purchased a Kalicocrafts item can enter by posting pictures of the item they purchased in use!!! I know it would make my day while I am stuck in a car looking at RIDICULOUSLY priced housing! It will start on Monday, March 4th at 12:01am eastern and end Monday, March 11th at 12:01am eastern. Post pictures to the Kalicocrafts page and whomever gets the most "LIKES" WINS a $30 credit!!! TAKERS???"

So get your Photo Shoots scheduled, you have a few days til we start!! Can't wait to see them all! After you post your photo(s) you need to RECRUIT for "Likes"! Most "Likes" wins!!! Good Luck!

Here are some recent orders:

I am now offering MORE items such as Totes, Duffle Bags, and Backpacks to be personalized

They wanted an Elmo Shirt for Elmo Live! I found this at H&M while on the hunt for a Blank Tee. I added the name in Heat Vinyl!

Have You Heard?

BACK UP AND RUNNING! Accepting orders for end of February and Beyond! Get them in! We will be moving across country in May.

The Giveaway went great. So fun to hear of all the new babies that are expected this year. Especially some of them being anounced on the comments as well. Next one we will try to bring in some other AWESOME Mompreneurs and have a basket of goodies! Here is what the winner chose!





I have been doing some private requests along the way. I just can't stop doing what I LOVE completely. My amazingly talented BIL asked me to make a special gift for one of his friends in Portland. But, of course! I love working out custom orders and trying to make someones vision to life. He wanted something edgy for this little dude. Here is what we came up with!

He wanted purple so I did a online search and once I saw this purple flame KNEW we had found it. I instantly had this skull in mind. I have wanted to use it for a while but just didn't know for what. Urban Threads is a great shop with edgy designs. I then went with Purple/Black Minky swirl for the underside and Silver Satin Trim. I just LOVE how it all flows together and is a complete package. The skull did take 75 minutes to stitch but there was not going to be a substitute. It was too perfect. Definitely a project I will remember. Check out my BIL masterpieces as well. He is located in Portland but, don't let that stop you from commisioning him on a piece. www.koldshoulder.com

2013 Babies Giveaway!!

Lots of exciting stuff happening around here. Even though I am on "Hiatus" still. I was lucky enough to make an great trade with another crafty lady. She had bought a Brother PR1000 (10 needle Embroidery Machine) but, had not been using it as she had hoped. I needed to upgrade...again. We struck a deal and I now have a 10 Needle Embroidery Machine!! I can embroider and Monogram almost anything! So excited to use this time away to get acquainted with it and when I come back it will be better than ever.

Our move will be here before we know it (off to Northern California this time). Lots to do before that happens which is the reason I am not up and running right now. I have been able to work on a few projects that I hope to have perfected when I come back.

I decided last night in the spirit of the New Year why not celebrate all the new little miracles joining us this year. 2013 Babies Giveaway.

Most of you are aware that the Hubs job has him away a lot which leaves me with the kids the majority of the time. I work at Nap time and Bedtime on orders. Since we have moved to Georgia it has been a constant struggle for me to balance it all. I am going to take some time off from Custom Orders and focus on my kids, and the home. With another move on the horizon I am not sure when I will be back to taking Custom Orders. I will keep my Etsy shop open as most of the items there are Ready To Ship. I hope you all will understand and stay with me when the time is right to start at it again! I can't thank you all enough for your support and love you have shown by sharing my little hobby with others. If you have placed an order it will be completed. I am always available for questions or concerns at kalicocrafts@gmail.com

October FUN!

I don't remember if I posted pictures of this Custom Pillow or not but, these are with the Good Camera! A friend asked me to make a pillow that coordinated with her sons bedding but, that was functional as well. I had made a heat transfer onesie for them with this design. Of course he ruined it before he left the hospital as most newborns do. LOL! So, I recreated it on the embroidery machine and added a solid Minky back. This is one of those projects that when I finished I couldn't wait for her to see!!

My youngest just had a birthday. After asking her at least 100 times who she wanted on her birthday shirt she consistently answered with Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba! She's had a recent LOVE for him. Here is the design I came up with. I added a little Mylar to his eye to make it shimmer a little since the cotton fabric had some shine to it already. 

                                          

Here she is in her shirt and ready to celebrate!

Custom Dora Birthday Tee

 Another Creatively Amazing Friend wanted to make a Snow White Cape for her daughter. I made her a 6x10 patch to put on the back! Can't wait to see the final product!

Jasmine Birthday Tee

Cookie Monster Birthday Onesie

Happy Fall Y'all! I added Mylar to this as well as an experiment. There ended up being a little shimmer to the design.

Thor Hammer Cape for my cousins son who is going to be Thor for Halloween! LOVE how this turned out!

Brother and Sister Birthday Tees. Mom had already bought a Hello Kitty iron on to add to the Pink 3!

Something Fun! Ran across the idea from Pinterest and when I saw these socks BAM!, I had to do it! these are an Adult pair of socks sewn into a pair of toddler tights!!

Custom Onesie! I added Glitter Vinyl to the design!
