Custom Order and packaging

I had a custom order for these sweet little "Santa Gone Wild" Pillowcase dresses.  They are for two little sisters..

 I wanted to add a little suprise gift for the princesses. The oldest one, which is 5, I made this cute little envie out of a old page of story book and then I CREATed a matchbox pad and added a roll-up crayon. I thought it turned out rather cute.

 Then for the little princess I made a cute little stuffy being she is only 12 months, I thought she might like it..

 This is how they looked when I finished with them.. I was just fixing to place in package.

 This is the package when I finished packaging it.. I call all the little customers princesses, so I added a little magic... to their package..

I do hope they enjoy the dresses as much as I did creating them for them..  Now, off to by grocheries.

CREATing

I have been rather busy the last little while.  Not only with my CREATing, but with family matters.  Here is a few things I've been working on.  This sweet little number was the "FALL" hit of the season, the sweet little candy corn dress.

 Then I CREATed this precious little tutu, hairbow, leggings and let my NOT so happy niece be the model.  I thought it turned out rather cute.

 My brother and sister n law are "hunters" so I thought I'd make this cute little camo dress and get her name Monogramed on it, so she could join her mom and dad on their adventures hunting. lol

 This tag was my BIGGEST seller for Halloween.  It did turn out rather cute.

 This one came in second..

 Come flat notecards I created for a teacher.  I personalized them for the teacher with the school and her name.

 Well, this is the first using this fabric... The flannel is eas but this minky stuff is really challenging. I started out making a blanket, but I didn't like the way it looked so I cute it down and made burpies or lap blankets for babys.  They sure are cuddly and I wouldn't mind wiping my face with them.

 Then I just started using some fabric I've had for a few years and started sewing, sewing, and sewing.
This fall colored one is a cute little number.

 I adore anything "VINTAGE" and it was so hard for me to cut this and turn it into a dress. But I knew it would be adorable.  I love, love how it turned out..

 Go Bulldogs.. Saw this fabric and had to see a little GA fan wearing it..

 Santa gone Wild dress...some more fabric I had stashed away... Adorable...

 And more fabric....

 This is my new design for Christmas... I just adore how this turned out.. I wasn't sure about the ribbon.. But some of my Facebook fans told me to keep it.. And I am glad I did..

 I had a birthday party to go to for a little boy it was his first.  He likes to throw things, so I thought I'd try these little blocks with his name on them.. Then I thought of making a bag with coorindating fabric to put his initial on the front of the drawstring bag.  Turned out to be so Adorable.. It was the "HIT" of the party..

 Tryed this dress with some Christmas colors.. I like the other one better..

 My very first Peasant Dress.  Again I used fabric I had for a while.. and came out with this..

 Some more fabric I had.. But I think this is my ABSOLUTE favorite...

 More fabric...

Today we find out what my daughter is having... I'm excited to see.    Thanks for browsing my little CREATing playground...

Life and Inspiration from the Honey Bee Festival

It seems I allow my passion take TOTAL control of me..LOL.. I daydream.. and totally focus ALL my thoughts, desires, will to my crafts. Even to the point of neglecting my home and somewhat my family.. My DH had a heart to heart with me.. So now getting my prioities in order so I can still be able to use my creative outlet so I want go stir crazy.. There for a couple of days I was just thinking of just quit crafting, closing my Etsy store and what have you.. I've had a DEEp PASSION to take my business to the next level and do some festivals and craftshows. I have had some offers of some local shops wanting my dresses in there stores.. But scared to take the leap.. I'd probalby have to hire some help.. But anyways.. My dh and I rode the Harley to the "Honey Bee Festival" which brought my burning passion to participate in some festivals.. My daughter and her fellower rode in the car, I got her to take some pictures. I wanted some of all the cute booths/shops. She onlly took one with all the Pillowcase dresses.. Which was totally crazy.. That Lady had been a BUSY BEE. Anyways, that totally put my inspiration back up... here is the only picture of her booth if my other daughter didnt' have my camera i would of taking so much more.. there were sooooo many AWESOME booths/shops..

And of course the Honey Bee Starting the parade off..

Now, I want to go and create but first my home needs some attention..
blessings,
