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...

Busy, Busy, Busy

Most of this past weekend was spent getting ready for the Sketchworks Art Mart on Saturday, and I feel like I was pretty productive. Saturday was not productive, however, in that respect, but it was still a fun day. We went to the Inman Park Festival, and it was great! Bought a cute little dress for Pookie (which I forgot to take pics of) from hipkiddie and a matching hairclip from Poopadoop. I'll be sure to post pics of the model in her new outfit soon. I also got the requisite kettle corn...man I love that stuff. So we walked around and got all worn out, then pretty much napped the rest of the day. That Market is so huge, and there are so many fun things to see. The food prices were ridiculous though: $18 for 3 corn dogs and 2 lemonades. That's almost as bad as Turner Field! Anyway...

I had taken off work on Monday to do a few things, and I was happy with the result. My embroidery machine was working hard almost all day. I finished 2 burp cloths, and 5 or 6 bibs. Of course I didn't take any pics last night or this morning, so I'm waiting for my VP of Marketing & Promotion (aka; my hubby) to take some today while I'm at work. Lots of cute stuff!

**EDIT** Pictures!
Here are the bib designs I was working on yesterday...Aren't they cute?

I was doing a bit of Etsy shopping (Etsy-ing?) last week and stumbled on this fabric, and I had to have it:


It's from Luminous Threads, and she has a ton of wonderful fabrics! I'm loving the Heather Ross stuff right now, so there may be some goldfish and/or bicycle fabric in my future. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out what to do with my new gnome fabric. Suggestions?

If only...

If only I had thought of it first, I would be a millionaire! Let me start off by saying that I love Babylegs, and my daughter has 4 pairs that are cute as can be. I think it's such a great idea! But lately I've been seeing non-Babylegs baby leg warmers all over Etsy and Craftster in such cute designs, and was like, hmmm.. Well they make them, why can't I? So after browsing around I found a tutorial and was off to the sewing machine...after a trip to Target, of course, as I generally don't keep a stash of knee socks lying around. About an hour later, much to my dismay, I had produced my very own baby leg warmer! I say dismay because I was actually impressed with my ability to follow the instructions that I found. See pics below!

I'm still honing my sewing skills, and I had never sewn a cuff before, so it's a little rough, but it was only my first try. I don't think I'll be selling these, but you never know what might pop up in the shop! For right now, Rebecca will be enjoying these heart-warmers on Valentine's Day! I love putting her in shorts and leg warmers.
