FALL!!! Gotta Love it!

It's fall, the herald of the Christmas season. The season of pies and crisp cool mornings! And the FABRICS!! Oh, goodness, see where our attention always goes?! Check out some of our fall ideas. Check back often because we have a new fabric line coming VERY soon. We are branching out into polar fleece, a warm boutique alternative and we are introducing sets and dresses made with Studio Tantrum patterns, like the Anna Wrap Dress, shown in fall colors. Jori has been working supremely hard on the BEST deco jeans. Trim, beads and flare, the girls all have their own set and we will post a picture ASAP! In the mean time, please take a peek at the batik deco set we made for our dear Allie OOP. Sorry, ladies, that one is already in happy hands!

County Fair and the Cotton Extravaganza

We had a wonderful time at the Cotton Extravaganza this year! We had four girls entered, each in two groups...active wear and party time. We took home nice awards for our work and lots of compliments. The girls enjoyed modeling and the fun of a "fashion show".

Our Roosevelt County Fair is going on and we have had NUMEROUS wins with our sewing. We'll try to get some pictures up but if it weren't for us, the sewing booth would be half empty. We each brought in about 20 items! And most of them ribboned!

We also ventured into the Fancy Cake contest. Very stiff competition from a group of senior ladies that have been dominating this event for years. We took a third and there might be some mutterings amongst the established fair goers! I mean really, who are these upstarts? They haven't even hit 50 yet! Seriously, every time we brought an item in to enter it, we were met with enthusiasm. Some of the arts of sewing and baking are dying and the older ladies are very excited to see us happily delving into the classics.

Our ducks did quite well and we are happy to say that our pair of Rouen ducks took Best WaterFowl and Reserve WaterFowl! GO TEAM!!!

We are very close to starting our fabric sales. We have almost everything lined up, but we want to do this right, so please forgive us if it takes a little bit longer. We are looking at some Free Spirit fabrics by Valorie Wells. We'll keep ya posted!

So loved by God....

Our dear Katie, our four year old Frog Princess passed away to Heaven this past Sunday, at her home in Clovis. She was surrounded by her family and their love.

We met Katie's family at Trade Days where we were able to be Dress Angels and provide Katie with the dress of her dreams.

We cannot know why Katie had such a short life. Our only thought is that she is so loved by God, He couldn't bear another moment without her. So, little Beloved, we will miss you and love you always.

To your family, may they know peace and have faith that you have a cherished spot in Heaven.

Our Summer Lines!!!

We want to show off those summer lines we've been talking about!

First is our VBS or Vacation Bible School line. This is a line of appliqued t-shirts and matching capris and skirts. All have a Christian theme and are in some of the hottest colors and fabrics of the season. We are making a bunch of shirts, but never hesitate to request a custom design, color or set!

Second is our new line of boy board shorts. These are made in fun and funky prints with an adjustable elastic waist. We have also made an assortment of matching appliqued and embroidered shirts. Once again, let us know if you are looking for something special!

And last, our Patriotic colors!! This is the only one we have pictured, but there are more to come is a variety of patterns and styles. All have individual flair!

We love to sew....let us know!
