We are finally moving into our new home here in CO. For those who dont know, we moved out of CA on May 26th and have been living in hotels since! We were very blessed to find a house to buy quickly with only a 3 week wait until closing. Well, we close on our new home today (yay!) but I will be without internet access for the next few days.

I finally finished writing up the Valentine Halter Top I started last year! Can you believe it? I had it all written up while I crocheted it except for the edging and the different sizes. It took me a year to finally sit down again and finish up the pattern. Good thing I still have the original crochet top to look at!The new pattern can be found on my website. I hope you all enjoy it.

I have lots and lots of updates! I have been very busy over the last week or so! I am sewing a lot more now, and have made some cute outfits for my daughters baby doll. I was trying to make a simple doll dress and thought I would try my ruffler foot again because the ruffle strip was very long and it just wasnt pulling right to ruffle. I found this ruffle tutorial on youcanmakethis.com by Carla C

Look at this super cute dress I made for my youngest! The patterns came from youcanmakethis.com under clothing creations. I used the pinafore dress pattern and the peasant top pattern to make this set. Now Im addicted and will be making more for her! I also plan on making my girls their Easter sets this year too instead of buying them.

Well, it's getting to be that time again! The weather will be warm and it will be spring before we know it! Well, here in California the weather is already getting warmer. Those who remember, I said last year I believe that I was working on a Valentines Halter Top, but it was a hard pattern to write out because of the way it was worked. Well, I pulled the top out of my yarn closet and took

Ok, wishing you a happy new year a little late - but better late than never, right? :o) What has everyone been up to? I have been doing a lot of sewing! Cabbage Patch kid clothes that is! I started crocheting a top for my daughters cabbage patch and I wanted to sew some pants to go with it, well then I went and sewed a top for her also! I've made about 4 outfits now, and have started selling them

I have been having fun lately with my jewels! I made my daughter a gymnastics bag for when she goes to her meets, she can put her warm up suit and grips in her bag. The team doesnt have a team bag yet, so I made her this so her coach doesnt have to carry around their warm up suits all evening while they compete!Here's the shirt I bejeweled for myself when we go to the meets ~And the girls'

I have used my bejeweler a few times since I got it over a year ago. Last week my daughters' gymnastics coach asked if I could bejewel the Jets name for her to wear on a black tank top for the first sanctioned competition this season. Well, I thought how am I going to do that and still make it look good? I came across a few tutorials online that shows how to attach the rhinestone jewels onto a

If I created a tutorial on how to make crystal/beaded little girls earrings (ok, because I wear them too they arent just for little girls)? I thought about creating an e-book complete with plenty of pictures, list of tools & accessories needed to create the earrings, where I purchase my supplies, and offer it as a free e-book with any crochet pattern purchase.

My girls are entering this gymnastics season as Level 5 gymnasts and will be competing at sectionals and will try to qualify for state. Along with that are also regular (non sanctioned) meets to give them the practice for the sanctioned meets. For both girls to compete it will cost us up near $2,000. If they dont compete, we still have to pay coaches fees for the meets and whatnot. Their leotards
