Thank You!!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience while my family deals with a personal issue. I can't say much, but things are getting better so that is very positive. Thank you to my customers for having patience with me getting behind on orders. Thank you for your well wishes.

I am almost totally caught up this week, which is a huge relief. Only a few more skirts! The company that I order from has new colors (very cool!) and I have ordered some to have on hand. The periwinkle is very pretty- it is a light blue/light purple mix. It reminds me of fairy's. Also, the marroon is beautiful- very deep. Check out the color chart on the right sight of this, you can click on it to enlarge it.

As always, please email with ANY questions. Again, thanky you to everyone for being patient with me while dealing with our family emergency. Thank you!! Carla

June Already!

I cannot believe that I didn't enter any posts in the month of May. And now June is in full swing! What have I been up to? Plenty. I did some really cool skirts for Rebekah @ ImagesEverlasting.com. Fun! And now I am finishing up some awesome skirts for some ladies attending CONvergence July 1-4. I have to get my butt in gear and finish those skirts! Those are fun! Fuchsia and bright mint, solid fuchsia (to go under a skirt with a bustle)that matches her super cute corset- fun combinations and colors!! I will post pics when I am all done. Off to sew....

Sunday, May 2, Tillies Bean

Wow, the time is just flying! I will be doing a "trunk show" this Sunday, May 2, 12-4 @ Tillie's Bean:
1931 Nicollet Ave, 55404 (just north of Franklin)

http://www.tilliesbean.com/

I am excited! I will be with Valkyrie Design Studio and Tout de Sweet. I will have a pretty good selection of skirts with me, but as always I prefer to do custom skirts. There are SO many color combinations (and sizes) that it would be hard to keep everything on hand. I am really excited because I have a few new skirts that I have done just for this show. One is fuchsia over white with TONS of ruffles, another is mermaid (like Tiffany blue) with white. I also have some solid colors made up as well.

I hope to see you guys there! Tell your friends! Also, Tillie's bean does not "use any ingredient that a five year old cannot sound out". Awesome! Keepin' it local and simple.

St. Paul Art Crawl

Busy, busy, busy. Wow! I am getting ready for the St. Paul Art Crawl which is coming up next week already. I have SO many ideas swirling in my brain, but just not enough hours in the day to complete everything!! Why do I need sleep, why?!

The Art Crawl is April 23,24,25. Different times, check the website: http://www.stpaulartcrawl.org/

I will be in the Carleton building, 1st floor. It is right off of 94 and 280, on University. There is a map on the website of the Art Crawl- right hand side. Look under resources, then catalog or map (catalog has some awesome pictures and a listing of the artists participating). I will be with 2 other artists: Tout de Sweet and Valkyrie Designs. Amazing, specialty chocolates and beautiful, creative jewelery and hair pieces and more.

I am really looking forward to this, but I wish I had more time to prepare. I will get done what I can and that is all I can do. :)

Amazing Hair Bows and accesories

I just got in an order from another stay at home mom who has her own business. She makes AMAZING hair bows! Her name is Victoria, check out her site: http://www.totsinpolkadots.com

I have a good mix of bows, blinging flowers, crochet headbands, and some hats for sale. Please contact me if there are some that you are interested in. I have priced the blinging flowers and hair bows at $6 each. They are beautiful and go perfectly with my skirts! The bows are on french clips, the flowers on an alligator clip. The cool thing with the flowers is that you can clip them onto the waist of the skirt (where the satin meets the chiffon) to give it an extra "pop" of cuteness! :)

Leopard and Zebra and new solid colors, Oh My!! :)

I am really horrible at blogging! I think I just need to switch to an online store instead. Why am I horrible at blogging? I have been busy. Plain and simple- just busy. I actually made these skirts well over a month ago. I love them! They are both adult sizes. I also made a child's 2/3 with zebra and fuchsia. I love it! Next on my agenda, zebra with candy pink.
I am also working on skirts for the St. Paul Art Crawl which I will be participating in. I have so many fun skirts for that. (Several "Alice" inspired designs! Some red and black combinations, some classic blue and white.) I love that I can be so creative for this! I also have some beautiful combinations in the works with chocolate, mermaid, rich purples and pinks. Fun, fun, fun!!!

OMG where has the time gone it is almost February! I think because we have had such mild weather lately I feel like it is almost spring. I have been busy sending skirts out the door, which is awesome! I had a good number of orders for the holidays to keep me busy!! I did get the zebra and leopard material in, which are absolutely beautiful! So much fun! I will post pictures of finished skirts when I am done with them.

Above is a black lace over white mini petti, size 6/7. I made two of those for two little girls that saw Miley Cyrus in Atlanta. Black and white, goes with everything. The teal, purple, bright mint skirt is a size 2T that I made for Ella just on a whim. I paired it with a beautiful teal satin that has sparkles in it. The middle layer is actually shimmer tulle so it has a sparkle look to it also. It is so fun! She loves it and we get so many compliments.
