Boo!

Here is a link to the new Halloween/Fall listings I started today.

Halloween Ebay listings


I love making these personalized applique tees, they are always so special & unique for each child. See my Etsy page for a bunch of other styles!



The skirt is a one-of-a-kind and features lots of patchwork fabrics along with Euro trims, handpainted pumpkins and endless twirl.

This comfy set is extremely versatile for mixing and matching. Wear the knit hoodie dress along, pair it with the flyaway jumper top. You could also wear the top over a tee with jeans for a completely different look.



Isn't my little model adorable! She and her brother did a fantastic job for me...you'll see his Nightmare Before Christmas inspired tee next week!

Dolly & Me

Just listed for Wisterialane's mini-launch, Dolly & Me! I have this fun little handmade Mermaid dolly and a coordinating sundress using the popular Aqua Divas fabric and bright sherbet-colored solids. See the EBAY link on the left to find the listings.

Fairy Garden

Looking for a sweet and lightweight sundress for the summertime? This one is comfortable, with an elasticized back bodice and adjustable tie-straps and the fabric is darling. Click on the EBAY link on the left to see the auction.

A Happy Collaboration

I am over-the-moon to have collaborated with Angela of dandelionavenue on this Bluebird of Happiness set. Angela made the gorgeous smocked outfit, I painted the matching tote and Tracy of creme*de*la*gems made the sweet jewels. You can see everything up close and in detail by clicking my EBAY link on the left.

Emptying my thoughts

I can't decide what to write about today. Should I mention to vote, today being the culmination of 18 months of political pummeling? Should I write about how instead of watching the polical race on television tonight we are going to the casino for dinner? (bring on the buffet!) Should I mention that my Gymboree online shopping cart won't let me remove anything? I have to completely log out and start over and can't remove anything once I put it there or have to start all over again, anyone else having this problem? Maybe I should talk about how I'm wearing a sweater for the second day in a row, that it poured rain this morning and how we finally are down in the 70s after having months of 90 degree weather? I'd love to talk about how I want to buy my boys a Wii for Christmas (I mean, Santa wants to bring the boys one...ahem!) but unless I get a bonus or sell like crazy on Ebay, I don't see how I'll be able to swing it, so that's just frustrating. And talk about frustrating, don't get me started about how my divorce paperwork is going!

Well, I guess I didn't have any problem writing once I got started, did I? :)

DESIGN YOUR OWN TOTE!

I've had so many requests for just one more custom tote that I had to do an auction. See the Ebay link on the left!
