Changing your mind!

Changing your Mind is a Woman's prerogative.
Well I change mine quite often. Here is a little
update on my Beach set. I have decided against Shabby Roses
and am placing Bullion Flowers on the Bodice and Crocheted
Flowers around the hem and adding Pearls to each one
I am also sure I will be adding more Bullion Flowers
on the hem as well. At this rate I may never finish.
This will definitely be an OOAK!

I am quickly becoming addicted to making these fun
Bullion Flowers! I think you will be seeing these
on many of my sets!

A closer veiw of my work in progress

Crotched Roses will be sculptured to the Hem
of the Skirt


A simple Elastic back for a Perfect fit!

Beach Portrait set

I am working on my listing for theChicks "See Ya At The Beach " Launch.
I wanted to share my progress.... I know it is not much but I am so excited
about doing a portrait set.
The Bodice will be embellished with hand sewn Pearls
The Pantaloons turned out so fun!
I wish I would have purchased more
of this fabric!

I am making Shabby Roses and each one will have
a Pearl in the center and wil be added to the hem
of the dress and I am also hoping for a hat embellished
with them!

Easter at Mimi's and M2MG Tropical Gardens

TheChicks are having an M2MG launch and I have this Sassy
Little Skirt Listed on E-bay! It is an OOAK 4 5 6.
I had a blast using scraps of Moda and Free Spirit Fabric to
Create this Fun Skirt! Abi was quite disappointed it was not
going home with her! I love Bright Colors! I am determined
as soon as I get caught up to make some more Scrap Skirts!
I love the challenge of mix and matching fabrics!


We had a wonderful time Easter. The kids came over for
Lunch and an egg Hunt! My Son in Law smoked the most
awesome Pork loin and Brisket! We all ate way to
much!
Andrew finding an Easter goodie!

Nathan was more interested in his basket
than the hunt!


Abi finding her own goodies!


AWW! I wish my Daughter Jessie and Hubby
Could have been here. Just had to add her picture
Snuggling with the kiddos!


Checking out the Stash!

Look who ended up with all the goodies!

I had to add this picture! We planted a Cherry tree two years
ago and it is just starting to bloom! To bad it will not
produce cherries in Texas!

A finished product!





Have a Blessed Easter!


I can not believe Easter is so early this year!
I am loving the Spring Weather and all the
beautiful blooms. The Azaleas are blooming and
our Cherry Tree is just beginning to bloom.
I am ready to plant some Spring Flowers!


A Finished Project!

I love a finished project! I fell in
love with this new fabric when I saw it!
it is so bright and cheerful for the Summer!
I listed this OOAK sweet Ladybug set last night
on Ebay.
Peyton was such a sweetie to come by and
model for me! Now if I can just get my customs
finished I can play some more!

I plan on doing several OOAK Beach/Cruise Sets.
Here is a peek at what I am working on
Now to decide on buttons and embellishements!


A few fabric samples I am hoping to get time to do!
Abi Loves this Fun Fishy fabric!


I thought this would make a cute coverup for the beach

I splurged just a little on this Beautiful fabric. The pre ruffled piece will make
adorable bloomers, the other is a gorgeous Moda fabric I fell in love with and had to have
for my "Beach Portrait" set.
not so sure you can see the details but I am so excited about this set.


Mickey and Minnie

My great neice and nephew are heading to Disney so I whipped them up some matching mouse sets
