Good morning,

First off I really need to remember to take more pictures! Oh well I will get there…

Ok now for my story, today at the Sun-Daze Market something is going on, there is a lot of Hispanic family they are singing, dancing and cooking. I’m just hanging out manning the booth, my booth is a canopy. On the back of the canopy I have adult and child hanging half plastic mannequins, on one side I have all my cool hangers that my son made. On the other side are aprons that I have discounted for one reason or another, mostly because I don’t make that style anymore.

A family stopped by the back of my booth, they were looking at the mother daughter sets I started talking to them, when out of the corner of my eye I saw it! PINK GINGHAM!!! I pushed the aprons aside and look at what I saw! I squealed OMG! That is beautiful!! This cute little lady spoke no English she just smiled really big as her son translated how beautiful I thought her apron was. She did the girly move, you know the one where you twist your body a little, tilt your head and smile. This is what I call the girly move He told me she made it; I did the girly pose and said I made mine! He translated and from the expression on her face I do not think she was impressed I LOL! Hard. This truly was a gorgeous homemade cross stiched Apron.

The winner winner winner of “The Blue and Brown Bridgitte”

This week has been a busy week, Monday my husband got this.

Spring 2010 is my turn I will be getting my own motorcycle yahoo for me!!!

Anyway we had to take it for a ride and go show the kids and of course see the newest granddaughter.

My website is being re-done so I have had to re-shoot all of the aprons… This is to much like work when you have to do them all at once. I much prefer a few at a time.

about me

I’m the oldest sister of a family of fifteen children; I have four amazing children of my own whom have blessed me with nine wonderful granddaughters. For me sewing has always been a hobby anything that allows me to be creative. I also enjoy crafts, photo collages, cooking, gardening, decorating and photography. My favorite is making original one of a kind items. I have been making custom pieces for homes sense the early 1980’s from curtains to table ensembles, bed sets to clothes, and art for the wall using whatever is necessary for the coordinating factor. My mother was a master seamstress, she taught me how to make anything with or without a pattern. Personally I like starting with patterns then I alter to fit my needs or ideas. This saves me a lot of time. I have always been very detail oriented striving for quality. Artists are very strong in my family, my artistic talent comes out in my color schemes, altered styles and detail work.
