This picture totally made my night...

2009-02-01T21:59:00.002-05:00

I seriously teared up when I saw how cute these 2 dresses looked on Michelle's little girls... they are just adorable. It's seeing pictures like these that make it all worth it. Thank you!

New peasant dress...

2009-01-25T12:22:00.005-05:00

I finished this last week for Logan.... she loved it so much that she wouldn't take it off that night to switch out for PJ's..... so comfortable and sweet....love these and will be making lots in the future!

Another peasant dress (top actually...it's just too big on her so it looks like a dress)

I finished in January

Knot tops...

2009-01-25T12:22:00.004-05:00

How cute are these three knots tops I finished recently and the little ones wearing them (Thank you again Andrea & Jen!)? I love each and every one of them! I've been working on my new website trying to get all my pictures uploaded. It's pretty much complete for now except for the fabric collection album. I probably still have another 300 or so pictures to add... but definately check it out!!

Logan's Christmas dress

2008-12-08T21:18:00.006-05:00

I finished this for Logan this afternoon! I think it came out gorgeous and can't wait to see how our Christmas pictures come out this year. I'm back to work on all my other orders now though... :)

I've been busy!!

Trying to catch up on Holiday orders and some other customs. The kids are excited about the holidays... we put some more ornaments on the tree this morning and set up the little ice skating rink. Here are some of the pictures from our cookie baking day at my sisters last weekend. :) They had a great time!! Logan would not smile in front of that tree for anything.... she is so stubborn!

Cookie Day today!!

2008-11-29T08:56:00.002-05:00

Thanksgiving was nice... we went to Dan's parents and also to my sister's. Reilly went over to Great Grandma's and decorated some gingerbread cookies with her. I left Reilly at my sister's so I could come home and finish off a few sewing projects but am headedback up there today for the INFAMOUS cookie baking day!! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures of the kids decorating the cookies with WAY too many sprinkles... lol.

There are somedays I wish I could do over...

2008-11-19T21:02:00.003-05:00

Today was definitely one of them... We just got back from the ER...Logan decided to sew her finger in my sewing machine this evening and got the needle stuck in it. So we took her to the ER for removal.... poor baby. Please, please remember to completely unplug your machines! She turned it on and was able to make the needle move by using the back button and needle down button... :( Here is a pic for the not faint of heart....

It snowed today...

2008-11-17T23:48:00.003-05:00

We took the kids out to Costco after Reilly got home from school and on the way there it began to snow.... I was shocked. By the time we got out of the car it was coming down pretty good but melting right away. The kids were great in the store, except for Logan constantly darting in front of everyone's cart as she zigzagged her way through the isles. It's almost midnight and Jack is still awake and curled up near my feet watching the Food Network with me. He is such a sweet child. Very sensitive and friendly. Always smiling and eager to help others. I can't believe how quickly they are growing up.

Such a Friday....

2008-11-14T18:53:00.005-05:00

I thought yesterday was crazy with taking the twins to the doctor for their 3 year checkup (of which Logan screamed the ENTIRE time). Today, Jack was sick and I'm getting a cold. At least I finished off some sewing projects today and got a bunch of Ebay pictures done. I even added a handful of auctions. While I was taking pictures this afternoon Logan wanted me to take her's.....she is such a cutie. Oh yeah.... Can I go back to Cancun????? Pleeeeeaaassseeee!!!!! lol

Welcome....

2008-11-11T14:57:00.003-05:00

Welcome! Today is the first day of the rest of my life..... okay, not really but it is the first blog. :) I've had lots of people ask me about how I manage making clothes and 3 kids (2 of which are 3 year old twins). Somedays, I don't. They manage me! Logan and Jack can be quite a handful at times. They can also be my two favorite things to watch and help me put things back into prospective. Right now they are rolling around on the floor in a couple blankets and pillows "pretending" to take naps...lol. I'm lucky if one of them takes a nap most days. They are wonderful playmates for each other and find enjoyment in even the simplest toy. One of Logan's favorites "toys" is my pin cushion....lol. Which does not make Daddy very happy when he sees all the pins on the floor. Something tells me I'll be the one with one in my foot though. :) Thank you to everyone who's supported me in this new endeavor with the customs world. I've truly enjoyed taking my knowledge of children's clothing and making it into adorable clothes for your little ones. Here is Kim's adorable little Rylee in one of my favorites!!
