My latest purse creations-

You can't really tell but these 2 purses have the same coordinating fabric

Here is the fabric close up, the red cloud looking material has gold bling on the outline.Here is the purse, I wish the lighting was better in this pic because it looks better in real life.

So here are the ruffle bum pants I've been wanting to make!!

Look at my sassy little girl in her cute new pants! I found this pattern on the web site http://www.youcanmakethis.com/
The same lady also designed the twirl pants that I have made tons of! This pattern is a little more intailed. They definatly take longer to make than the twirl pants but I think they'll be worth it!


Check out all the ruffles!

Baileys Dress

Here is a dress that I started for Bailey in the middle of June and it literally sat in the sewing machine for 3 weeks or more. I finally took it out when one of the Elders needed a hole fixed in his shorts. I then decided to take my sewing machine in to get a little tune up because it needed it and because I knew I wouldn't be using it anytime soon. Well I got terrible news, the machine I've had for 14 years was not fixable. I really was devastated as funny as that sounds but it has really rattled me. I now have to get a new machine and figure out how to use a new machine. At the time I am employing my mothers machine so it is getting a little more love than it is used to! This dress is ankle length and looks SO cute on her. When I took these picts she was already in bed so here it is on the hanger!

Here are some of my newest purses!

Here are my newest purses. I have had alot of requests for yellow and black or here are a couple.
This one I love, if I don't sell it I won't be upset it will be adorning my arm! Such fun bright colors!

What I had been up to...

Here is one of the MANY purses that I have made. This one was gone within a days time. Very cute! Here are many of the Twirl Pants that I have made...
These sold right away to Maddies teacher, very fun fall print

Here is a very cute owl print that I still have on hand

I can't believe that I still have these cupcake ones. They are the cutest!!

Here are some little birdie ones, I too thought these wouldn't last as birds are SO in right now.

These I made for my girlfriends niece they were only a size 2 so cute!

These I sold to Kodies speech therapist they too were only a size 2.

Some butterfly sparkly pants that Maddies preschool coordinators daughter decided she just HAD to have!

These SO cute owls with brown background and bright pink polka dot trim

These are one of my favs-cherries with red plaid. SO CUTE!! Maddies teacher bought these!

I have had a blast seeing how all these combinations have come together. I have gotten a little addicted. I have MANY more projects coming in the future!!

So I have taken a little sabatical for summer-

So I had been very busy sewing up a storm but since about the last week of June I haven't really done much crafting. I did get a night out with the girls for scrapbook club night and also a night to just scrap. I ended up catching up on my scrapclub pages from 2 months past. I will get around to posting pictures soon! I am currently revamping my craft area, cleaning organizing that sort of thing and my sewing machine is in to get a much needed tune-up. I haven't had it looked at for 3 1/2 years and I have probably sewn more in the last 3 1/2 years then I have since I bought that machine 15 years ago so it was time! I am hoping when my space is clean and organized that I will have a renewed creative spark that will get me back in the swing of things! Hope you are all having a fabulous summer and check back for some new picts!
