First off, we made an Etsy sell, couldn't come at a better time, and if your reading, thank you!

So, this is what I have been working on tonight. It is frustrating me to no end. There are elements about it that I love, and also that I hate. I'm not sold on the different sleeves, but I was trying it because Alexia wants it on her next competition dress. I think it will work fine with a more dynamic pattern.

It hit me tonight how deeply happy I am to be designing. This is what I always wanted to do through school, but then life got in the way. Now I have my huge organized craft room, and my giant sewing table (read living room, and giant desk), and I love it so much.

This dress is mainly just playing around learning my new serger, so it's okay if it doesn't blow my socks off. Of course, as a perfectionist, it better!

So, just wanted to share with you all (again), thanks for reading.

Well, we are busy as little bees this holiday season!

We're kinda pressed for cash (like most of America), so we hand-making most of our Christmas gifts. We are having lots of fun doing it together as a family though, and our creative juices are really flowing.

I got a serger finally. I should have waited, but I thought I had more cash then I did (ooops), and I went ahead and bought it. Honestly, I don't know how I ever lived without it, and after Christmas (when we can afford thread), we will be flooding our ETSY store with all kinds of cute clothes made of my tons of stockpiled material. maybe someday we will even sell something.

Everyone LOVES Lexi's orange ice skating dress, and are so impressed I made it. That is worth 30 ETSY sales to me! Now I have a serger, I will start making some ice dresses to sell. I need some different patterns though, the one I have is too simple, and kind of boring. Once again, after Christmas.

I am also considering adding bath salts to our line of creations. It looks like everything is lining up for that, so hopefully, we can have some romantic gifts before Valentines Day.

anyway, we've been very busy, and just wanted to give you all a quick update.
