"i hate headbands!!!" (problem solved)
i've had a few people request headbands, but i hate headbands. they never seem to fit right or they are always falling off or giving me a headache. i hate putting them in my little girls hair. i believe in doing her hair once a day and i shouldn't have to fix it over and over!!!!
problem solved!!!
after getting a few ideas from a friend and her sister my little kenmore popped this baby out. i wore it all weekend to test out my prototype and i loved it!!!! it didn't squeeze my head, it didn't fall off, and there was no headache! and today i let kamryn wear the same headband. i did her hair once and it stayed all day.

Inspirations and cravings...
When you think about crochet booties don't you think it would be something your grandma might pick out. Not these. I think these booties are the cutest thing ever. Just imagine the little toes they'd cover... You can find them at: http://kellymccaleb.typepad.com/ or at her Etsy store (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10366150).
How cute (and different) are these hair clips. This lady has some darling clips!
http://www.tatertothairclips.blogspot.com/ This is just one of the many aprons that I love. Everyone is different! I believe that aprons are like potato chips, you can never have just one!

All Tied Up
Finally Done!!!
Saturday, March 15, 2008
This first picture is of the paneling. It wasn't quite in the budget (or should I say I didn't quite give my hubby the heads up that I was redoing my sewing room) to put up new walls. So I just painted and put a glaze on them.
I'm ready to redo the entire basement now just like this (another project for a time the hubby leaves to play with the boys for the weekend- he doesn't dare leave too often)

Quilting 101
Just check out these yummy fabrics up-close!
The back is made of Minky. I love that you can see the stiching so well (although I can't take credit for that- the actual quilting is sent out- I just piece the top and bind it)
Seamstress???
I am an ARTIST. I love what I do. Sewing is not only an 'out' for me, but it is therapy. Because I am not formally trained I can feel that I can create with out limits. Where you might see a dress, a 'seamstress' might see fabric, notions, measurements, and a map from point A to point B... I see the off road version of that map. Uncharted territory. Like the seamstress, I start at point A, but I take the scenic route to point B. I like to create my own path, add my own touch, and create my own style.
