November

Trying to figure out what you want to do for Thanksgiving? I know I am! With work and everything else going on, I usually never have things figured out til about the week before. But I figure if it ain't broke.... well, you know the rest. lol

The hubby and I had a great vacation over in California... so much that we really didn't want to leave and head back to Florida! We will definitely have to go back as 6 days just wasn't enough...

In CN news, I have some new Thanksgiving/Fall applique designs up and ready to go! There are so many things that these designs would look good on that I'll have to narrow it down and make up a few samples for everyone to see. I will also probably be making up some new bib and burp cloth sets along with some onesies and tees for the holidays. So if anyone has any suggestions/ideas of what they'd like to see, please send me a message!

I'm still working on getting some add'l designs for Christmas so please check back in the next week or two to see what's new.

Have a great week!

Design a gift : Halloween!

Trick or treat bags are here! Pick your favorite Halloween applique and personalization/phrase and you're done! With so many designs to choose from, the possibilities are endless. The canvas bags are available in black, natural and white, measure approximately 13.25" tall by 13.5" wide and are priced at $15/ea.

Design your own t-shirts are now available as well! Pick the type of tee you want (infant/toddler/adult), a holiday applique of your choice w/personalization and you're set. Infant/toddler sizes range from NB - 7T and prices start at $14. Adult sizes range from S-4XL and start at $17. (Shirt colors and measurements will be posted soon... In the meantime, they can be sent to you by request.)

More photos coming soon!

October

I think that October has always been one of my favorite months of the year. So in honor of Halloween, I've pulled together some cute appliques and designs for the upcoming holiday. I'm currently working on some designs for infant/toddler tees & onesies, adult tees and trick or treat bags. I should have these up and ready for sale (or to order) this upcoming week.

In the meantime, please check out my new additions to the blog... I've created sections at the top of the page so you can now see all of my applique, embroidery and monogram designs as well as fabric choices for custom orders. I've also created a new photo gallery section as well as a dedicated page for pre-made items that I currently have in-stock and are ready for delivery. (A few items with existing initial appliques are also on sale.)

As always, feel free to message me with any questions about items or special orders. If you live in the Orlando area and already have something that you'd like to monogram or put a cute applique on, I'm happy to meet with you to avoid shipping charges.

Also as a reminder, I will be on vacation starting Wednesday, 10/20 through Monday, 10/25. All pickups/deliveries will be cancelled during this time as I will be out of town. Deliveries will resume Wednesday, 10/27.

Have a great weekend!!

Blog changes

Pardon my mess while I add some new features to my blog. If things seem a bit in disarray, please check back later as I should have things back to normal by tonight!

Thanks!

Getting ready for the holidays

Happy Friday!

I can't believe that it's already September! I know the holidays will be sneaking up quickly so I better get a head start on those holiday projects...

Today I'm picking up a few new blanks (onesies and t-shirts) to make some cute samples for Halloween and to test out some new appliques that I've gotten. I've also got another sewing/applique project planned as well but just need to pickup a few more things before I can start it. (Hint: tooth fairy)

Lots to do so I better run for now... Hope everyone has a great weekend!

What's new

Well, the back to school rush is winding down and it's giving me some time to catch up on some much needed projects... yay! During the past month or so I've purchased the above appliques to add to my well rounded collection and have already started planning how I'm going to use some of them. Now to just set aside the time the bring out all my fabrics and start sewing....!

The holidays are right around the corner so I've also got to finish and post the holiday schedule for this year. Like I said previously, my hubby and I will be taking a much needed vacation near the end of October (which I'm REALLY looking forward to) so the schedule will have to be re-arranged slightly around then. But not to worry, there will still be plenty of time after that to get Christmas orders going!

I'm also starting to look around for some additional vendors to help get my future website up, running and stocked. So if anyone would like to recommend a website/store or possible idea please let me know! I welcome your suggestions. :)

What a crazy year its been....

...so far! It's already August and I've been so busy that I haven't been able to update the ol' blog. My apologies...

Earlier this year my trusty camera died which has prevented me from taking any new shots of things I've been working on and about a month ago, my laptop (that I do...errr, DID all of my editing on) crashed as well... So it's been a sad year for technology around here to say the least!

This year has kept me busy though... I've been working on some new accounts, various projects, tons of back to school orders and have recently purchased some new applique designs that I hope to have up here in the next month.

I will also be posting a new production schedule for the last quarter of the year soon. It's always been a chaotic time around here so I'd like to get it out there ahead of time to make sure everyone will be able to get their items/orders in without stressing about the turn around time. One thing that will be new for this year, is that I will actually be taking a week long vacation near the end of October so orders placed around that time will be delayed. More later about that though...

Updates coming soon!
