Kirkwood Spring Fling

The 9th Annual Kirkwood Spring Fling is Saturday May 14th! Here are some of the things you'll find in our booth, if accepted:

Hope to see you there!!

Crayon Rolls, Key Fobs, and Lunch Totes, Oh My!

Wow. It’s December. Christmas time. The most wonderful time of the year. I seriously don’t know what happened to the last 3 months! Well, I shouldn’t really say that; I do know what happened to the last 3 months. I have been super-duper busy! And that’s definitely a good thing.
So, what have I been working on, you ask? First, lunch totes. Moms are discovering that personalized lunch bags make excellent party favors. I had two large orders of them that were used as favor bags, with lots of goodies stuffed inside for the party guests. Ages have ranged from 1 to 10, and then some! I introduce more designs whenever I can, and of course I’m always open to suggestions. The most popular designs have been the train (new!) for boys, and daisies for girls. I’ve started using a new kind of bag as well. They’re the same size as the bags I offered before, only now I have more colors (yay!) and there’s a pocket on the front of the bag. So cute!

What else have I been working on? Key fobs, key fobs, and more key fobs. I’m still working to complete a very, very large order (for me) of personalized key fobs, both wristlet size with a full name, and a mini-size with one initial. Key fobs are one of my favorite things; I just think they’re so much fun. Everyone should have one (hint hint). I was also very excited to make a new discovery when I was searching for a new webbing supplier. Glitter! I’m now offering Glitter Key Fobs, in either size, in pink, blue, silver, and gold. I haven’t even had time to get these up in the shop yet, but look for them soon. If you just can’t wait for them to appear in the shop, shoot me an email!

And last, but certainly not least, crayon rolls! I had a special order for Christmas crayon rolls, and we decided to use Riley Blake’s ‘Be Merry’ Fabrics. They are so freaking adorable! With it now being so close to Christmas and with me being so swamped, I don’t think we’ll see these in the shop. But you never know…

So that’s what’s been going on. The shop is looking kind of bare at the moment, since I’ve been so busy, but if you’re looking for something, just let me know!

DEADLINES: For custom/personalized items, the last day to order for guranteed Christmas delivery is this Friday, December 11. For non-personalized items, the last day to order for guaranteed Christmas delivery is Wednesday December 16. If you don’t have a deadline, order away!

CURRENT TURNAROUND TIME is 7-10 business days. Please be patient! I appreciate your business, and thanks for reading.

Coming Soon!

We'll be back soon, I promise! The last 6 months have flown by and lots has happened, but we're gearing up to get the shop open again ASAP! There will be new crayon rolls, new totes, keychains, bibs and burps, and lots of other fun stuff! Something new that's a personal favorite is...Monster Pillows!

These are the cutest things, and kids just love them. They can even be personalized, if you wish! I'm also working on Crayon Roll Party Packs, Birthday Party Packs, and Craft Kits of various sorts.

So, stay tuned, and be on the lookout for our Grand Re-Opening, happening soon! There may even be a sale...you never know!

Here's what I have been working on while the shop has been closed:

My little man, born April 16. Gush!

Baby Legs!

New! BabyLegs (r) are now available on the website! There are so many styles available that I haven't gotten them all up yet, but I'm working on it! Most of them are there now, and the rest will be added in the next few days.

BabyLegs are wonderful for babies and toddlers. They have so many uses! My own daughter loves them; she's worn them since she was just a baby, and now she's an active toddler. Here she is sporting the yellow and black stripes as part of her Bee Halloween costume in '07:

They're a perfect match for tutu's and pettiskirts, too! Okay, enough of the selling. Check out my site for more info!

In other news, I'm diligently working on the website whenever I have a chance, and will soon be adding more of my handmade items, such as crayon rolls. Custom orders through the site will also be available soon, and will include personalized bibs and burp cloths, as well as personalized crayon rolls.

Stay tuned!

Upcoming Shows

Well, we finally have a few things nailed down for the Holiday Season. Check out the 'Upcoming Events' section over to the right to see where you can find us live and in person! Our first market is this very Saturday, Nov. 8th at Mary Lin Elementary in Candler Park (intown Atlanta). Come out to see us! We would love to meet you and show off our latest goodies. Katie has been knitting up a storm and turning out super-cute baby hats and booties. I watched her knit a hat yesterday, and it was adorable! If I had thought about it, I would have snapped an action shot. Next time! As for me, I've been working on crayon rolls galore, and am hoping to actually get at least 2 tutus made for Saturday. No promises, but I'll do my best! If you're interested in a tutu, let me know, and I'll make one up especially for you.

I also have to show off Pookie's Halloween costume, since I'm proud to say it was made entirely by me. :-) I was happy with how it turned out...it was my first-ever attempt at clothing of any sort! Thank goodness for Google, is all I have to say.

Until next time...

They're Back!

When I first started making things, I made fun crayon rolls. A few of them anyway...I never really made very many, but I had planned to make at least a million. Funny how plans change and never really come to fruition! But, at long last, Crayon Rolls are back at Sugar Plum Delights!

I'm making them a little smaller now, because do you really need more than 8 crayons when you're on the go? The process has also been streamlined a bit, so I can crank them out a little quicker, and I love that. They're available with or without personalization, but why not go for it and add a name? These would be excellent party favors for your kids' birthday parties. Each child can have their very own, with their name on it! Have a party theme? Rolls can be made to match! If you have a special request, please email me, and I'll see what I can do.

These three rolls are available now in the shop! I also have another super-cool crayon keeper up my sleeve, but for girls only (sorry guys). I should have that one available within a week or so.

I've been very happily busy with Monogrammed Badge Reels lately, so I haven't had a chance to work on some other new stuff I'm planning, but don't worry, it'll be here soon!

Happy crafting!

Not a lot has been going on with us lately..I took a break from sewing after the festival rush, but now I'm back with all sorts of ideas! Yesterday I whipped out a super-cute Cowboy Crayon Roll that my nephew fell in love with, so now he has to have one! Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of it to post, but I will get some tonight and add them in to show off my handiwork! I think I did a pretty good job for my first roll-up! Until I get the pics added, here is a sample of the fabric that I used:

Cute, isn't it? I love Michael Miller fabrics! The original plan for this fabric was to make a diaper bag, and there may still be one of those forthcoming. Just wish I had more time to sew!

Also, a new wipe case made by Katie will be added to the Etsy shop. Check it out!

Until next time...
