Another Spider Treat Bag (purse or tote bag) By popular demand

Hello Everyone,
My spooky spider bag was very popular this year as a boutique custom order item. Thank you everyone who purchased my spider accessory bag.
I decided it is time for an update to my original handmade design. My daughter made a few suggestions, and this is the result. I love how it turned out!
I have one bag finished at present and ready to ship.
This bag could be carried as a tote bag, a treat bag, a purse or used as a gift bag.

**Don't worry if you didn't find this bag in time for Halloween. You can purchase it and put it back for next year. It will be a hit whenever you carry it.

My customers who have ordered this crochet bag as a custom item have loved it. I have done bags and webs in alternating colors and even did a made to match spooky spider hat for one customer.

If you are interested in this bag, you can find it in my etsy store(click picture at page right) or in my ebay store by clicking HERE.
You can find this in my etsy store as well. Click Here.

Snuggle Up With A Warm Robe

I just listed this lovely pink robe in my eBay store. It is soft and very warm. It would make the perfect gift for that special someone to keep warm as the weather gets cooler. This robe zips up the front. I have one just like this. It is my favorite! Comfortable, pretty and toasty warm.

Hairclips and Flowers

When asked to design a floral custom boutique style handmade hair clip to match a special little gals outfit, this is what I came up with. These flowers can be put on a hair clip as shown or can be added to a pony-o. I have even made them for custom orders for people who ordered them separately to sew on their own garments or accessories. Many colors and styles available.

Today is a celebration day for my very special Grandmother who turns 92 !

She is, in my opinion, the best grandmother ever!

I love you Mammaw! Have a great day!

Children around the world, ruffles, ruffles, and more ruffles!

Today, I have featured an amazingly pretty boutique set by Julia of frogbelliesandblossoms.

Once you see this set, you will understand why I couldn't pass up sharing it with you.
This set showcases children around the world in the most delightful way. Julia's set is for a boutique launch by the ebay boutique group Cherrylane with the current launch theme of "Circle of Friends."
This set has an abundance of girly, girl ruffles all made with Children of the World prints from Henry Alexander.

If you are familiar with his fabric, you are going to fall in love with this adorable set.

The skirt is made from the NieNie pattern from Pink Fig. The top is certainly a wow factor for the set featuring children around the world incredibly done in hand smocking!

Have you ever seen anything so pretty?
(The bows, which were part of a boutique collaboration, and are featured with the set are available as well. You can find out about how to get them by visiting Julia's auction for this lovely set.)
Julia's work is incredible.
I promise you, you will be most pleased with a set from frogbelliesandblossoms!!! 
This is a must see set.
You can see the auction by clicking HERE!
But hurry, this auction ends in less than a week. I think it is the best kept secret in town. This is one you won't want to let pass you by. I encourage you to take a look at the auction and see just how pretty this set is.

Way to go Julia!
Love your set!!!
Great design, work and creativity! 

Today is a special day!
It is my Dad's birthday.
I love you Dad!
I hope your birthday is a good one.

Woo Hoo, Check Out My New Ribbon!

I am a proud member of the BCMM (Boutique Custom Mini Mall) board and trivia team. Games go on for a month at a time with daily games held each day of the month. Winners are tabulated at the end of the month. I am proud to say I won first place for the month of September. I wanted to show you the ribbon I was awarded. (This is only my second time in first place.)
Trivia is a lot of fun. It doesn't really matter to me if I win or lose, but playing is a lot of fun. I have learned a lot of new things.

Thank you BCMM for the ribbon and thank you also to all the gals who played with me.

There are some really great players in the group and all do a fine job. I am both honored to receive the ribbon and to play with these fine gals!
