1st order done

Yeah! I got my first order done. I made a Kimberbell doll with two outfits for one of my mom's coworkers. If you haven't tried this pattern yet it is great. Super easy and fun. The Queen of hearts outfit and Gift giving outfit is great to. I sold this one for $45 for the set. I am trying to raise money for my daughters cheerleading. Everylittle bit helps since I am a Stay at home mom.

What I have been up to!!

Last week we had a silent Auction for my daughter's school. I hate to call businesses and ask for donations. And each PTA board member is required to bring 10 donated items. Sooo I just make things to donate. I took a bow board for hair bows, a bulletin board that said Jacks which is the peewee team for this area, a towel set that had a football player and a cheerleader that said Jacks (that I embroidered my self, okay the machine did but hey) two Kimberbell dolls one light skinned and one darker skinned each with two outfits, a crocheted bag and blanket with a little doll, a chili pot gift set, and a wheat sack and sleep mask gift set, a size 18 month outfit with a t shirt bloomers and tutu, and a baby bouquet. Plus my mom made a bracelet and two bead people necklaces. Unfortunately not all my things got bids, but we raised over $1000 with all the other things that were sold over the course of the evening. And wouldn't you know I ended up getting 5 or 6 orders from people who saw the things I had made. I had pretty much decided I couldn't keep trying to run my business and I get new orders. Yeah!!

Tie Wrap Dress It can be done in ONE night

I did it. I realized at 10 pm Saturday night I didn't buy my girls Christmas dresses for Sunday morning. I hadn't had a chance to try out this pattern yet and It looked easy enough so I went for it. I think they turned out awesome. It took me till 5 am. But they didn't cost me anything I amazingly enough had everything on hand in the right colors (since I needed matching bias tape I was a little worried) But have no fear my love of shopping came through in the end. Tomorrow I am aiming for at least one dad's tie maybe two depending how the day goes.....

Class gifts

Alright of course with all the gifts I've made I put off makeing the gifts for Kaylyns class till tonight. But I did it 27 santa bags made of felt and fur. Plus a big mess!!! I also made Kaylyn's teacher the cutest pen holder using a empty tin can and some Mary Englebright fabric I bought last year some time. Total cost for both projects 2.44 all of which was for the felt and fur. Amazing.
