Todays Friday Fav

I can never remember to pick up All You Magazine b/c our ingles here at the house doesnt have it - so tonight we were at Wally World (I know, I know) so Ster could cash his gift card from Uncle Jon and Auntie Heather - and when we were at the check out I looked over and saw it and grabbed it - so here it is - I think Im supposed to be in the March issue also - the last time I was in it was March of '06 as you can see below. For those of you who read the magazine - Im on page 176 of the December 18th issue!

NEW PICS FROM MINDY!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE when I get an email notification that Miss Mindy has posted something on my wall because I know its rock out pics and I just about break my neck trying to get from my phone to the computer so I can see the big version! XOXOXO Mindy - you ROCK!

This weeks challenge review!

here's pics of this weeks challenge review and Im moving right along with class - ive discovered through process that I do NOT want a retail shop at this time - but I DO need a dedicated website that ROCKS and lots of mktg - more to come hee hee

Dr Boyd ask me to make an outfit for her new nephew - and I did....
so she loved it and ask me to make another for her niece - whos mother is a horse breeder and rider and so i found 2 fantab fabrics and made it reversible....

Which led to a reversible skirt frenzy for my inventory for the christmas bazaar!

Week something of the challenge!

Im still wandering around aimlessly in homework land...but here's what I managed to squeak out last week - LOL!

This was actually part of my class...so i guess its a bit of a cheat...

These two nights I made a custom set for Kristen

and then played with some ruffled bloomers - but I hate them~!

and then I made a skirt to go with the AWESOME supermom wool sweater
it is my favorite sweater of all time~

Week 6 & 7 of the Challenge

....for those of you who thought I was invincible...I'm not - Ive officially been taken down by a business class. For those of you who don't know - I work full time for a Genetics Center so the only time I have to sew is at night and on the weekends - of course in the evening we have dinner and homework and the general day to day - well I was having no problems keeping up with the challenge until I started business classes 2 weeks ago - the homework is taking up all my time and I'm totally bummed - it's a necessary evil - so i can really get my biz off the ground (so I wont HAVE to work full time anymore) but I feel like a total looser! for the last 2 weeks all I have to show is a dress that I designed for next summers line and I'm working on a sweater (((SIGH))).

The bright side is the class is only 8 weeks and this will be week 3 so only 5 more to go - of course, I may, in fact enroll in other classes once this one is complete!

You can see how everyone else is getting on with the challenge HERE!!!

Week 5 of the 365 Challenge

First of all I LOVE the circle tail skirts Ive come up with for the shop - same idea as a poodle skirt but shorter and more practical! Hangs really nice and is GREAT for twirling!

....and the hits play on in The Jump Off...

Intertwine red and white ric rac and you get some super cute Candy Canes - I was going for a 'tree' candy cane look to represent Candy Stick Lane...

I needed something to do with the t-shirts Ive acquired that have holes or stains which prevent me from using them in a dress or skirt...solution ....BIBS OF COURSE!

and last but not least - I turned one of Krystal's sweaters into a 12-18 month turtle neck sweater dress. It will be going to Miss Isabel to try it out!
You REALLY must join the Challenge! Don't miss out on the fun!!!

ROCK ON!

My Co-worker Camila asked me to make her friend Cheryl an outfit for her new baby girl! Cheryl was gracious enough to let me use the pics - THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me share! Of course if you have any fav that you'd like an outfit from - I can hook you up!
BIG thank you to Joan for turning the album art into a transfer! XO
