Ready to Shop?

June 2012 Art Show KBAF Booth

Hairbow Rainbow Wall and "buckets" of magic wands.

The rainbow wall again ( I really loved this and it made the booth seem so bright and happy)!

Crochet Clips

Princess Crowns/Veils & my new banner...wanted to actually have the costume there but it was way too windy and Melanie broke :( I will have to find a new one now.

Lined Clips w/ no slip grips

All the embellished snap and alligator clips- plus embellished bobbi pins.

Mini Korker Bows

The luggage tags made another appearance.

Crayon Clips

Days of the Week embroidered hair clips.

Embroidered Snap Clips - I LOVE the swirl design!

Full frontal...check out that banner! I am so obsessed with embroidery!!

Close up of my custom

"KISSED BY A FROG BANNER"

that I made with my new embroidery machine.

My CUSTOM (made by me) banner to let everyone know that I am "SPECIALIZING IN CUSTOM ORDERS" complete with my little frogs!

My next show is not until September and we have plans to make more boy items (that are absolutely adorable). Plus, I will have more one-of-a-kind costumes and embroidery. Hmmm, maybe I need a bigger booth. HA.

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures. Now you know where I have been for so long.

Hopefully, over the next few weeks I can figure out how to get my etsy shop in order.

HUGS~

Drum Roll Please...

So the time has finally come to announce what I have known for weeks. I cannot tell you how exciting it is to be able to share this with you all...

In Nov. when I created the Glam-pire costume for One Month to Win It I was so proud of myself. I thought everyone would love it as much as I did. As you know, to my disappointment I did was cut the first week. :(

However, I entered the costume in other costume contests. When I never heard anything I figured I was biased about my creation (aren't we all). In January, the same week I had my surgery I got a phone call from Simplicity Pattern Co. letting me know that the Glam-pire costume had been selected for TOP 5 in there costume contest! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGosh...
So, I sent the costume off for finally judging in NEW YORK!!! WOWZA. It is so surreal to send something I made to MADISON AVE. New York, NEW YORK!!
Then I waited...

When I was waiting for a connecting flight in Dallas on my way home from Arizona I called home to check in and my husband told me that Simplicity had called once again. I was expecting the usual "thanks but no thanks" message. Instead he told me that I won SECOND PLACE!!! ME??? ME????? I WON?? HOLY COW!

SECOND PLACE!!

OMGOSH!!

I am pretty sure I am still in SHOCK from the whole thing.

Anywooo, if you want to check it out...
