Follow up on my Breast Cancer Hat

A few post back, I showed you the hat I made for my sister's friend who is about to start her battle against Breast Cancer.

Yesterday I opened my e-mail and was pleased to find this great picture of Suzanne wearing her new hat.

God Bless you Suzanne!

Ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon.

I used to say, One can never have too much fabric, well, guess what????

One can never have too much ribbon!

I had a blast taking a ribbon class with a few of my friends.

Now, they are going to kill me for posting their pictures but lets see how often they read my blog.

Anna, just loved the one Danielle made!

This is Alison's concentration face.

This is the first one I made for Amanda.

Danielle is having so much fun.

Anna's and Alison's first bow.

These are the ones I made for Amanda in class.

Made these today for Halloween. I also made a pair to match the Navy and Grey bow above.
Navy and Grey are Amanda's school colors.

One of many projects I have been working on.

As most of you know, I lost my Mom to Breast Cancer two years ago.

I miss her everyday but I know she is always with me.

My younger sister has a good friend who was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer and she is about to start her fight against this horrible disease.

I wanted to make her something special and when I saw this fabric the idea just came to me.

I hope that she doesn't lose her hair, but if she does this hat will keep her styling.



Too busy to post????

Yes, I know it has been way to long since my last post.
I have been busy with all kinds of projects, too many projects.
I have been having all kinds of fun making bows for my daughter, bows on clips, bows on headbands, bows on shoes.
I took a great class at Ribbons and Lace with a few friends and now we are obsessed.
I have also been busy making some samples for some classes I will be teaching in the very near future.
I bought two great patterns for a Funky Peasant blouse and a fun hat.
Once I get organized I will be sure to post pictures of all the great projects I have been working on.

Just couldn't do it.

So this week I had a request for a Diaper Bag made with Hello Kitty fabric.

After a few trips to the local fabric stores I found the choices slim.

Yes, they had Hello Kitty but it wasn't the best quality and it was very juvenile looking. I stood in the fabric store and thought to myself, I just can't do it !!!  I just couldn't do it !!! So I called the customer and explained my dilemma and said, Trust me, let me pick out a cute fabric and I will find some other way to add Hello Kitty.

Yes, the customer is always right and yes, the whole idea of my One of a Kind Bags is to let the buyer pick and choose what they want. Hate to say BUT , but this time I had to step in.

So here is the Diaper bag with a matching wipe holder. I found a blinged out Hello Kitty and used it for accent on the wipe holder.

I brought it to the customer yesterday and she was thrilled with the outcome.

I am so glad I went with my gut instinct on this one.

Diaper Bags and Diaper Wipe Holders

Here is another Diaper Bag with matching wipe holder.

This fabric is from the new Joel Dewberry line and is perfect for a boys Diaper Bag.

Of course I had to add a little feminine touch to the wipe holder.

There are so many great new lines of fabric out right now, I am really having a hard time going into my local quilt stores.... I want it all.





Her she is !!!

My daughter just loves the dress I made for her, she couldn't wait to wear to school.

Can't wait to get started on the next one.

Now that I have the hang of this pattern I might have to tweek it a bit.
