THE BEEHIVE BAZAAR!!




Beehive Bazaar Going on now thru saturday till 8 o'clock!
Alright, so I had heard that this show was pretty crowded...but I didn't realize that it would be completely out of control --jam packed, full of people to the point where it was difficult just to walk around!! Oh my goodness it was crazy, but it was pretty fun anyway. The line was pretty insane as well. I think that is why stuff would just get randomly put back in the wrong spot. I had a bunch of other stuff set on my display that wasn't mine...and I would also see some of my stuff just set down on other people's displays...it was like, "Hello, this isn't a store...you can't just set something down where ever you want!" Then my mom was sure these two ladies were shoplifting, because they were putting things in their pockets and purse??! Yeah, I don't think that is a normal thing to do if you plan on paying for something?! Anyway it was like, well what do you do when you see that? If you confront them they would just deny it and say they were planning on buying it. So I hope they get what is coming to them if they were stealing. Shame on shoplifters--especially at a handmade market!! Security at these kinds of events are reliant on people being honest. So it made me kind of nervous that maybe people were just walking out with stuff, and not paying for it.

RUFFLE ONESIE

Another simple onesie that anyone can do. Just add a ruffle down the side out of some white jersey cotton. I just happen to have lots of white cotton jersey on hand, so I have been having fun with different things...well and I have a ruffler attachment foot for my machine, so that is fun to play with too!

MODERN QUILTING


The quilt was finished a couple days before I went into labor. Me + my mom worked on it pretty much straight for two days. It was a fun little project to work on before baby came. We ended up hand stitching it, and I am glad we did. I attached the binding by machine, it was quick and it turned out really well.

DIY BABY SHIRT


A little shirt I made for Ella. It is just a Gerber brand kimono shirt I bought on clearance and then dyed it chartreuse and the trim is a bunch of little flower shapes cut out and sewed on in a row. Really simple to make.

A QUILT FOR BABY

...............................................................................................


My mom + I worked on this quilt for the new arrival headed my way. We have so far just finished the quilt top. I am still debating how to finish it off. I think I may just machine stitch it, but I like hand stitching so much more, that we may do that. It makes a little more special for baby! I am crazy for zig zags lately...don't know what it is, but here is a good tutorial if you want to make yourself a nice little ziggy zaggy quilt!

Preparing for another Showcase....




These are some of the things that I have finished for the fall Piper + Chloe gift boutique in Farmington. It will be held November 6th + 7th. The burp cloths + towels are new items that I haven't made for this event before.
I am waiting for my Hable Construction fabric to arrive, then I am going to try and make a diaper clutch and changing pad, maybe I will get to it before I go into labor...!

Chartreuse + Pinks








Wedding I did at the end of July. This bride wanted flowers with a vintage feel, and pops of chartreuse and pinks. She supplied the silver vases for the tables. The wax flower that I used this time was really pretty, it had a distinct pearl shimmer to it.

Purple + Orange

:: Ribbon for the bridal bouquet::
Wedding flowers that I am working on right now. I just thought I would post some pics while I am waiting for the lillies to open...probably should have got them a day earlier, because they are not opening very fast...!

PKOLINO TODDLER BED


::P'kolino Toddler bed::
I have been searching for a bed for Jimmy... I like this one, I am still trying to convince Matt on it! I like that it converts to a chair after you are done using it as a bed. The only downfall for us, is that we would have to get another crib mattress.

Paper Clips...





Really, I would have never thought to make a paper clip into an animal shape! I think these are sweet! You can find them here from the Hanko collection.
