I am Back

Alright, so I know that its been awhile. Between moving 3 times now and just the basic everyday complications of being prego, its been a little hard to maintain my blog. I am sorry and I am ready to get blogging!!!

Its A Boy!!!

Times They Are a Changing

Well I know that I promised a bunch of fun baby tutes. Don't worry that is still on. This baby has made life a little difficult. Morning sickness is not fun. There was no morning sickness with the Pumpkin, just horrible heartburn.
Now I am finally feeling better and its just in time for us to move... again. We are moving back to my home town of Las Vegas. With the new baby coming, along with new problems and complications, we think that it would better for us to be back in Vegas. So as soon as I get back I will put up the first of many tutes and baby project ideas.

I am Back

So we are all moved in.Well kinda. There are a few boxes that I am not quite sure where they are going to go. Its been a busy couple of weeks. We were with out phone, Internet, and satellite TV for over a week. I mean really whats a girl to do. I think I watched The Pumpkin's Backyardigan DVDs over a 100 times... OK not really, but it was alot.

I also have some news for you all. I am preggers. Its not the greatest news. We are so broke right now but we'll make it work. You guys can help. I plan on making a ton of baby stuff and I need tutorials and ideas. I plan on doing a huge thing on baby tutes and projects. Some by me and hopefully a little showcase of some other really good ones.
So if anyone has/knows of any kick ass baby tutorials and project ideas please let me know.

Moving Day

Moving day is upon us. I really hate moving. Due to our current finnantial situation we thought that it would be smart to find something cheaper. So we are leaving our yellow house that I luv and moving into a smaller more economical duplex up the road. I have been kinda packing, and sorting. I am not getting rid of any FABRIC !!!! Now for the next couple of days I will be absent from the blogging world. Hahaha its not like I've been real present lately anyways. I have something really big planned for the next couple of months tho, so be ready :)

New Dress and Design

This is my latest and I think  its my favorite. Its not done yet, it just needs a bow. Its for a client . She needs it for a photo shoot. I know it might seem silly for me to get excited about this, but it makes me smile just to think of my dress in a photo shoot. This design is a little more authentic to the whole rockabilly/1950's style. I love it!!! Look for soon in the shop.

there is still more to come!

I promised more and here it is. This dress is more of a cute little sundress, still totally vintage inspired. Its not quite as spunky as my other dresses. I love the fabric. It was on clearance last year at Walmart for $0.60 a yard. AWESOME!!! I wish that I would have bought more, but back then I had no idea that I would be opening an Etsy shop.

The bodice needs some tweaking. It comes up a little higher than the others and its got a small gather in the front.

And of course a twirly shot.

Well what do you think?

Looking for Inspiration

I know that I have been absent from the blogging world. We have run into a snag. You all know that I do in home day care, well the 2 boys that I watch just kinda up and left. Ok , well not really. They were going to be leaving in September when the oldest one started preschool. The preschool that they are going to have 2 openings for them now, so their mom decided to enroll them now. Its kinda put a snag in all of my plans. I planned on doing a give away last month, and posting pictures of our new garden, starting a whole new "line" in the shop, as well as making a whole ton of dresses for a consignment shop in Texas. Its just been so hard to focus when you don't know where the money you so desperately need, is going to come from. Not only that my focus has been on trying to  find more kids to watch.

There has been very little activity in the shop aside from custom orders. I was in the punk baby swap on craftster, and that was hard. I need some drive, some inspiration, or something to get me out of this funk. Sorry to all of my followers... all 17 of you!!! I love you all.

Maybe a give away or a contest is what I need. Some busy work would be good.
