Tampa


Off to Tampa for a few days with my daughter - she is performing in the Florida All-State Honor Choir. Boy, are we proud of her. But, along with this big performance comes hours and hours of rehearsals. So... I've geared myself up with fabric and thread and plan on making tons and tons of fabric yo-yo's. No, not the up and down on a string thingy dingy. Rather, the little round baubles of fabric fun. Not sure what I'll create with them yet... maybe a dainty little bag.

Happy New Year!


Well, the year is new and I sure am ready for it! The holidays were hectic - I sure was busy! The ladies I made the 36 aprons for had a blast at their Christmas party. They loved the aprons and had a fabulous time fighting over them. I was sent a couple of pictures from the big apron extravaganza and hope to be able to post them soon.

On the same day that the big apron order was due, my sister sat at a craft fair booth in NC for me. She sold quite a few bags and I even got a custom apron order out of it! My sister is my new Southeast Region Marketing Manager! Thanks Robin!

I've posted a photo of the custom apron order - a very sweet woman, Fran ordered the apron for her daughter as a Christmas gift. When Fran received the apron she left me the nicest voice mail I think I've ever gotten. She was very happy with the apron and was extremely complimentary. The message was so nice, I saved it on my phone to listen to again when I need encouragement and a little pick me up! The photo is of Fran's daughter wearing her new apron. She looks so happy!

Now that the holidays are behind me, my goal this year is to finally get my website up and running. Now I just have to produce the inventory to stock my new shop. I'm so excited!
