The Red White and Blue Festival in Bullard was so fun! I love this festival. It's my second year to be involved over there and both times have been fantastic-- well-organized, well-advertised, and just loads of fun. It was only a one-day event this year, so not as exhausting! I'll definitely keep it on my very short list of shows for the future. My husband keeps telling me to stop doing outdoor shows, but I just don't listen! Well, honey, I'm starting to hear you... now that the weather is getting cooler (can't say cold exactly, since it's still high 70s here in TX in November) but the thought of dragging all the tables, tent, boxes, and racks out for a day of unpredictable weather, and even more unpredictable sales, does not appeal to me. Especially when I have to put off my list of special orders, which currently is quite lengthy.

SO... I'm hunkering down for a winter sew-in now. I've got a few deadlines to complete -- some self-inflicted, and some buyer requested-- that I'm going to be working toward now. I am absolutely still open to orders, so browse, buy, order, and share! I'm already working on a spring line, and am excited to see how that turns out. Times are fun!

Festivals

The Rose Festival was a wash.... again. I will not be participating next year unless it is moved back to Bergfeld Park. (My husband tells me I said that last year... well this year I really mean it!) It didn't help that the fabulous weather forgot to show up and it was cold, damp, and generally icky outside.

I have another show coming up next weekend, November 7th, in downtown Bullard. This was my favorite and most successful show last year, so I am looking forward to it again. And my friend Shelly will be sharing booth space with me, so even more fun will be had! Nothing like hanging out with a crafty friend, although Shelly will tell you she is anything but crafty (she just hasn't realized it yet!!). Come out and see us Saturday, November 7th from 8-5ish, right smack in the middle of downtown Bullard!

And now I'd like to share a few photos of new things I've done recently! I've been very busy sewing and embroidering, so haven't had the time to photograph and list everything until now. I'm still working on getting all this up on my Etsy site, but until then, if you see anything you need, just email me. All these items are IN STOCK and READY TO SHIP (or deliver, free locally!)!


This Prince/Princess design is available in almost any color, and I CAN add a name monogram to it as well! (It would then read, "Princess Carly... etc.")








Crowns in Shimmer Silver or Gold:




Bibs and Burp Sets:

(Name monogram is included in the sailboat design's price)




(name monogram is included in the butterfly design's price)



My latest craze: Trendy Cross Appliques!!
























Skirted Onesies:






Don't forget the Boys!














Christmas onesies and Tees -- Front says "nice." Back says "(naughty.)" Love it!

Rose Festival Arts and Crafts Show

I will be participating again this year in the Rose Festival Arts and Crafts show! It will be at the Rose Garden -- NOT at Bergfeld park!-- on Saturday, October 12th and Sunday afternoon, October 11th. I would love to see you stop by!

Cradle Bedding

Jess at Sparkles gave me 60-something vintage chenille squares and asked me to make some bedding for a cradle she did.. and the end product is great! It is on display at Sparkles in Flint... I am thinking Jess decided to keep it for herself!



















(And I WILL be getting started on that crib bedding set soon!)

Welcome Home Daddy!!

Made this outfit for my girl Kennedy. Well I guess it was really for her mama! Kenners wore this to welcome home her Daddy from his second tour in Iraq just last week!! So glad it made it all the way to Europe (where they are stationed) on time!!

Welcome Home Brian!! We are so thankful for you!!

Miss A's Patriotic Pillowcase Dress

These pictures come from North Carolina from my bud O'Neal and pictures of her sweet Ansley. I made this dress for her LAST YEAR, and it still fits this year, and probably will fit again next year, and possibly the year after! The BEAUTY of my pillowcase dresses... they grow with you!
