Emelia's dress will begin shortly!

Emelia has chosen the Amy Butler Belle Chrysanthemum fabric for her dress so now I can start making plans to make the dress. I looked up elastic smocking on the internet and found great advice for doing this since it is a new technique for me. Here is the link: www.thriftyfun.com/tf67395276.tip.html
I also looked up boning because this dress has this also. Hopefully I can find all the supplies! Anyway, I'll keep you up to date with my progress. Slow but steady!

Joining the blogosphere

Hello,
I joined the blogosphere today by claiming my blog on Technorati. Cool! I need to work on making my entries a little more interesting to the general public! Anyway, I sold this cute little number!

Workin' hard

Wow! I have a lot going on, fun!! Right now, I am almost finished with my first organic cotton baby outfit, want to make more. I am making a porch glider cushion for my friend Gail and hope to start work on a dress for Sharon's friend Gale. Also, I'm making a dress for daughter Emily. I am planning some other new stuff:
1. Girl baby outfits
2. Baby hats
3. Cool skirt from Anna Maria Horner
4. Long sleeve kyoto tops
5. New kimono patterns for toddlers
6. Amazing vintage pattern dress

So much to do...so little time.
Anyway, it keeps me out of trouble. This dress is so cool, I want to try something similar.

More work more ideas

I sold the wrap skirt the same day Sharon bought her other skirt. I was happy as I needed that boost. I have started reading a book on internet sales and hope to get some more ideas. I think I will do some shows this fall and see how that goes. I am not one for craft shows but I'm thinking about it. I am now working on a big project for Sharon's friend Gail. I am remaking a dress she really loves and I think it is going to be a challenge. I am going to look for fabric today or tomorrow and get a pattern too. Also, I finished a skirt for Suzy although I may still have to make a few alterations. Hope to get it on the site tomorrow. Anyway here is a skirt I made for Sharon. I love it!

Still plugging away!

Still at work adding to the inventory of my store. I made a skirt for my sister Sharon and sent it 2 days ago. She should get it today. Can't wait to see what she says. I am still working on the real focus of my shop. I had thought children's clothing maybe or babies or ladies. I have looked at bags and wallets. I need to settle on a focus and work on that more. I am going to explore other shops more to see their focus and if they have a wide focus or not. I love creating and that's why I'm working on this. I have added a few new things, the blue and green kyoko dress and the cowgirl skirt, both of which I love. Suzy wants a skirt so I am going to the fab shop this weekend to find something she would like. I also want to work on my sewing space to make it more user friendly. (Me=user)! Maybe I will take before and after pics of that and post them. In the meantime I am having a Yart Sale at my site and I want to start a Facebook page. I'll let you know how that goes!
