Smocking

I smocked a dress for Caroline's first birthday. It has a C in the center and cupcakes on each side (thank you Lindsay for the help on the cupcakes!).

I also smocked a one all for Luke's first birthday. It has an L in the center and geometric smocking around it. Here is how they turned out...

Caleb used coupons!

I sent Caleb to Kroger this morning with 4 coupons. They were...

2 coupons for $4/2 La Victoria Salsa
2 coupons for B1B1 Free SoBe waters

Everything was on sale plus if you bought 10 participating items you get $5/off your total order which brought his total to $0.04! That's right 4 cents!

and this is what he came home with...

I love deals! Now I think I have my husband hooked too!

Luggage tags

A customer of mine bought her daughter luggage for Christmas and asked if I had any cute luggage tag ideas. Here is what I came up with...



Her name and address are concealed inside the tag so people passing by can not read her info. You have to open it up to see it.

End of the season sale!

Can you believe it is almost Christmas? I have a very limited number of keychains left in stock. I will be selling these for $3/each. They are normally $5. Let me know if you would like any of them for stockings, teachers gifts and such.

One last Thanksgiving post

Here is another outfit I made for Caroline's first Thanksgiving. The bib is reversable and is pink with her name monogrammed on it. The ribbons on the side serve 2 purposes. On the turkey side it is his feathers (or hers since she is pink) and also Caroline loves to play with tags.

ps...this was taken with my 9 y/o's camera. Our wonderful Canon Rebel is being serviced. :(

Happy Birthday Parker!

Don't you love this fabric? I do! Bought it in the girl version (pinks and oranges) to make my sweet Caroline one for her birthday too.

Can Coozies

Wouldn't these cute coozies make a much better stocking stuffer than a new toothbrush? What about teachers gifts? Nothing says, "I took the time to pick out that special gift for you" like a personalized/monogrammed item. While you are at it get one for yourself too.
