Reversable Halter Style Apron

I've been wanting to make an apron for long time but have been searching for the perfect pattern to do it with. I found it thanks to Tenth Muse Studios! You can check out the blog at http://www.tenthmusestudios.wordpress.com/. I simply loooove this pattern. It is a reversible apron styled like a halter dress to make you feel fun and flirty in the kitchen. I went straight for the heels the first time I put this on. My fiance can't wait for me to make dinner in this....in fact he just wants me to wear it all of the time. lol And so do I. :)
Here's the black with white polka dots side with red accents:

And here is the red with black with white polka dots accents side:

Halloween vest

My Nana had purchased this "pattern cloth" a while back from a craft store. She asked me to put it together for her because somehow how she got the idea that enjoy sewing and stuff (wink wink) and with delight, I accepted. I've never seen a pattern like this before where it's already on the material. Cool, huh:

After all of the cutting and pinning and stitching...

The vest finally came together in all its glory with plenty of time before the holiday...

Nana enjoyed it. Isn't she so cute?

Cupcake purse

This bag was requested for a little girl's birthday. I was told that she was a cute, petite, girly girl. The bag measrured a little more than half the size of the normal crochet totes that I make. This one is sporting a cupake in one corner on one side, and the little girl's initials "BB" on the opposite corner on the other side. So cute.

Cashmere Breeze Scarf

Here's another scarf outta the hat. I made this as a Christmas present for a friend last year...just didn't get a chance to picture it until recently. It was one of my favorites. Click here for the pattern.

50th Birthday Pop Out Cake

Sunday was my daddy's 50th birthday...whether he will admit it or not. We had a nice family get together with a home cooked meal courtesy of my sister while I made the birthday cake. When asking my dad what he wanted for his birthday cake, he said, "All I ask is that you make a cake that your mother can jump out of." And that is exactly what he got... he he he.....

My new logos

Hey y'all, it's been a little while since my last post but I've got plenty to update with. But first...my new logos are in! I absolutely love them! Simple for now and maybe when things start taking off big time I'll change it up, or not. :)

More Beanie Pics

I love it when my customers express to me their love for my creations. The requestor of the crochet beanie, Robert, has sent me in some pics of him, ahem, "modeling" the hat ;), lol. Thanks, Robert! Enjoy.

Crochet Beanie Hat

I know winter is still a ways away (hard to forget with the scorching Arizona heat out my door) but I received my first "male" order which was for a beanie hat. I guess he just wanted to be prepared for the first chill. :) I'll probably be making more of these closer to the fall and winter.

Baby Cardinals jersey into a toddler tshirt

I received a request to convert another onzie into a todler t-shirt. This one specifically for the die hard Cardinals fan. May I make a suggestion to save you time should you try this at home...jersey material doesn't do well with sewing machines (some of your more experieced crafters may already have known that). Anyways, I learned my lesson but I was still able to get the same effect by sewing by hand. Success!

Veronica's Birthday Card

For my birthday, my wonderful fiance gave me a Cricut Expression. I was extatic because it can do almost anything craft related. My first project was the birthday card for my little niece. I like to make cards instead of buying them because, not only does it save money, but it also provides an opportunity to make something from the heart for the recipient while being able to release some creativity.

Pretty in Pink Purse Cake

My adorable little niece, Veronica, just turned 2 this last week and her mommy is having a birthday party for her today. Veronica is wild and crazy but she is also super girly so at my sister's request, I made this purse cake for the party. It's a white cake with vanilla pudding mixed and marshmellow fondant. It's my 2nd attempt with fondant, my 1st attempt alone!
