AHES Holiday Boutique - December 2, 2009

This year I will be participating in my first ever Holiday Boutique. This little cutie along with many of her 'friends' will be there. It's on Wed. December 2nd from 4:00 - 8:00 pm at Anaheim Hills Elementary School. I'm excited to be part of this very worthy event to help raise funds for the school. Come stop by if you can!

Tegan, Bella & Emma

Awwwwww.... some more cuties just went home to their new friends. This pink one is for a cutie pie named Tegan (love that name). The other dolls are for Bella & Emma! So sweet. I've been busy with lots of custom dolls these days.

I'm participating in my first ever Holiday Boutique this year. It's a little nerve racking. I've become pretty darn good at juggling. I must admit, I sure will be happy when my 'to do' list gets a little shorter.

I will also be creating some exclusive pillow designs for a specialty company in Boston. I'm very excited about this new business opportunity. I'll keep you posted.

Back to more dolls!

DRAGONFLY DREAMS!

A sweet little creation for Evi!

This pillow was so much fun. Whew, so glad to see it done though. So much detail went into this one.

November is here and I am hard at work at my sewing machine. The holidays are just around the corner. It doesn't seem possible. Seems like just yesterday I was getting ready for my big Easter Celebration.

Now it's time for family, fun and lots of good food! I feel very blessed!

Falling in love with FELT!

I have been a big fan of wool felt ever since I was a little girl. I'm very tactile. I can spend hours in a fabric store walking up and down the isles just touching all the different materials (strange?...maybe!)

Some the newest items making their way to my shop are my wool blend felt flower hair clips. Super sweet! Here are just a few samples. Hope you enjoy!

Fall is Calling!

Next to Spring, I must say that Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the changing of the leaves (which is barely noticeable in California) but if you look closely you can still see it. The Floss Silk trees are in full bloom with their pink blossoms fluttering in the wind.

I love the smell of scented pine cones and getting ready for Halloween. Something strange happens to me this time of year. I go a little nutty with arts and crafts for the kids. I get in full blown holiday mode, making cupcakes and cookies. I pull out the decorations. Sift through last years costumes and can't wait to see what the kids want to dress up as. It gets me all giddy inside.

With all this said, there is not much time left for sewing. Maybe the wee hours of the night? I'm still amazed that anyone can sleep through my late night sewing fits. I've had lots of dolls, pillows and bears on my cutting table these days. Finally the dolls and SOME bears are done. Here is a sneak peak. Enjoy and HAPPY FALL!

I HAD A DREAM

I've been dreaming alot. Creating not so much... not intentionally, just because life has gotten hectic as it often does this time of year. I finally finished off a stack of dolls. Super cute. Prettiest ones yet! They will make their way to my shop in the next couple of days.

If only there were more hours in the day. Stay tuned!

Summer coming to an end...

Wow... August 19th today, where has the year gone? I can't believe that tomorrow my son officially starts third grade. Seems like yesterday he was just starting pre-school. I get a few weeks of some quiet time with Emma before she starts preschool. I'm looking forward to some girl time alone. In September with them both at school I'll get the chance to work alot more (hopefully). There are lots of creative ideas running around this brain of mine waiting to come out!!!!

Check out these beautiful new fabrics from the FRENCH HAT BOX COLLECTION by Tanya Whelan . Aren't they delicious? Her fabrics are just glorious. I love them all.

This little pillow for Aliza turned out super sweet. Hope she loves it! Maybe one day I will have a camera that will take a decent picture... oh well. I have fabric scraps to remind me =)
