Busy Busy Busy

Mr Digger leaves tomorrow for a month, and things should slow down (I hope!)

Been working on a few things (about 25 of them) for different people... sibling shirts, birthday sets, and more ball shirts. Working my regular job and chasing kids as well.

Life never slows down right? :)

Make One

It leads to many!


I made the one bathrobe for my friend's son Frej. That led to another one... for another friend's son Donavyn... which led to 4 more orders WOOT!

Plus a few pillow case dresses ;)

Finished :)

Bathrobe complete :)

Work in progress

Lil dude and I finally got to the fabric store to get red marabou today for the birthday hat he designed for his 7th birthday, which consequently is still 2 months away. I discovered a couple things. First, if Im going to make birthday hats and sell them, I will be finding a wholesaler for marabou feather boas. $5 each is high, at least it is to me, since its just chicken fluff!

just sharing--- the bathrobe I have been working on as well--- should have it completed tomorrow, as soon as the owner of the bathrobe lets me know if she wants pockets on it, and if she wants a hood or a collar :)

So this went smoothly enough, I plan to list them on my site...

One can always tell

When my life ends up overwhelmed.

Finals are coming. Indeed they are. Im feeling prepared enough that my studying has been few and far between. In the meantime Ive logged record hours at work, and run kids all over the place... and made a handful of pillowcase dresses in my spare time.

I stalked my friends, looking for little models for my dresses, I am planning to list them, at least on my FB store, but maybe on my Etsy as well.  I know I know... crazy taking on yet something else. I do enjoy sewing though, and have just decided I need to make the time to do the things I enjoy. So this is it----

Pink Flamingos in a 2T

Cowgirl in a 3T

Then my sibling teeshirts. Still have 2 to make for lil dude and devil child (have to find some blank tee-shirts... who knew they were so hard to find these days? Everything is screen printed :/ )

For Freddy the littlest sister :)

For Baby J, the middlest sister

For Willie the soon to be lil brother :)

Small town, no choices

Sometimes I adore our small town life. Other times it feels like a curse. Today was a curse day. The cake was ordered over a week ago. When my oldest daughter went to pick it up, the bakery had lost the order. No where to be found, and no first birthday cake made or decorated.

This isnt the first time we have had issues with the bakery at Walmart, having no other options for decorated cakes locally (or semi-locally) Im sure it wont be our last problem with them. For devil child's 3rd birthday we ordered a fancy princess castle cake. When the employee stuck it in the box, she told us it wasnt the right box but it would be just fine. The cake made it to the party, but just barely before it fell over on itself. It was uneven and poorly made. Any time you pay $50 for a cake, it should at least make it an hour to the party and time for cake cutting, but apparently that isnt the policy with Walmart bakeries.

We got something off the shelf, that was as close as we could get to the colors of her party. The baby loved it so, in all I guess that is what matters.
