Baby Ella in her custom onesie!

You may recognize this onesie from a previous post. I gave it to Jess for her baby shower. Now Ella is big enough to wear it! Isn't she adorable!?

New Fabric from Amy Butler!

I am so excited I just got notification that one of my favorite designers, Amy Butler, has released a new line called Love. It's the perfect name because I already LOVE it! Check it out! I will be making stuff with it soon, as soon as I can get my hands on it! If you see anything you can't resist let me know and I can make something for you!

Who wants a free bag?

If you like my stuff and you think your girlfriends would like it too, you love a party and you want some free stuff I have an opportunity for you. Host a purse party for me for all of your girl friends and you could earn some free stuff from me.

It works like a tupperware/Pampered Chef/Candle Light party. Invite a bunch of your girlfriends over and I will bring over my catalogue, sample bags, and fabric. Everyone can custom order a bag that they love and choose their fabrics! I will also bring some inventory incase your guests want to leave with something that day.

For hosting a party you will receive $75 toward a custom bag(s) of your choosing. If your guests order more then you will earn more!

I will then make everything and bring it back to the host house so everyone can pick up their items. What a great excuse to get together with friends and shop and it's perfect this time of year since Christmas is just around the corner (eek!).

Let me know if you are interested in hosting a party, I will even provide invitations for you to send out.

Thanks!

Stephanie

Christmas, Christmas Time is Near....

In the words of the Chipmunks, Christmas time is near and that means Christmas cards! For those of you who don't know I also design cards when I am not sewing. I will be doing Christmas card designs for Christmas this year. If you are bored with the choices you are given at Target and Costco, let me know, I would love to come up with a beautiful design with or without your family photo! The reason why I am mentioning this now is because I need time to design, print and for those of you who love to send out Christmas cards but don't like stuffing or labeling, I can do that for you too!

I charge $30 for designing the card. Printing costs depend on the design and how many are printed. Send me an email with what you are thinking about and we can discuss price.

Here is an example of a birth announcement that I did that could be translated into a holiday card.

Does the internet ever end?

I don't know about you but I can search the internet for hours and hours! There are so many blogs out there I get so caught up going from one blog to the next. I guess you can also blame it on the fact that I get bored easily. I finished all of my current projects and I don't have a wedding, or shower to plan (would someone just get pregnant or engaged already?!) So anyways I love reading the blogs of some of my favorite designers, looking for new fabric, and finding new blogs of people like me doing the things they love!

My other search I am currently on is fabric stores in LA. Jimmy and I are heading West in a couple of weeks and I would love to find fun fabric stores out there, I know I will find some great stuff!

Well I am going to get back to my blog researching while watching America's Next Top Model (one of my guilty pleasures). I'll report back with some of my favorite blogs to get inspired by.

I love Wednesdays!

Tomorrow is Wednesday and it's my favorite day of the week. It's a strange day to love, I know but for this past summer it's been great because it's my day off of work (I work m,t,th,f,sat). My typical Wednesday in summer goes as follows:

8:30am Pilates class at Lifetime

9:30am Poolside at Lifetime for a few hours

Lunch

1:30 off to work on fun projects!

I am sad that tomorrow may be my last Wednesday to worship the sun but it will be nice to have all that time to work on projects since I won't want to leave the house it's going to be so cold! I hear from the farmers almanac that it's going to be, and I quote, 'numbingly cold'.

On my list tomorrow is a computer laptop bag, I can't wait to see what it's going to look like and I know that Stephanie can't wait for it (she just got a new mac and is in love).

I will be sure to post photos once it is finished!

Happy Hump Day!

It's been a busy August!

I can't believe it is already August 23rd! Summer goes by way too fast! Well I am winding down from a really fun weekend, my friend Alli's wedding! I was honored to be her personal attendant, I sometimes wonder if I am asked to do things like these because I am assertive and how do you say not shy? It's almost as if my friends think I am bossy! haha. Either way I had a great time and I am so happy for her and Tony. I know they will have a very happy life!

After I posted my photos of the silk flowers my cousin requested a clutch with a big flower on it, and I think it turned out great! Heather I hope you like it!

This past week I had a request for some baby stuff for a baby shower my friend Allison was going to and here is what I made her!

I love the farm scene, the cows are too cute!

I did this birdie free hand and from what I hear it was a great hit at the shower. I love coming up with new designs and can't wait to come up with more!
