Work status

I am on a hiatus right now as my husband is working towards juris doctorate degree at night in addition to both of us working. I decided to take a break for a little while to see how my time would be effected. Hopefully I will be able to begin taking orders again soon. Thanks for understanding.

Long over due post...

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since November. Wow! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in so long. I've actually done a few things (no orders still) including things I've done things for my daughter (sewing & appliques), presents for cousins, Christmas presents and a National Championship outfit as well so this will be the longest post. :) I'll just put a quick caption before each picture.

Here's Applique Momma's simple turkey in my favorite boy tri-check fabric.


This was actually my 3rd dress I made for Addison (I apparently didn't take a picture of the 2nd one - although I thought it was cute too!) and the matching ruffle pants. It's made out of one of my favorite Michael Miller corduroy fabrics. 


This was actually what we put on our Christmas card and I made this dress as well and modified it a little so that I could applique the simple Christmas tree (Applique Cafe) on it. I really liked the hot pink & lime green houndstooth coordinating fabrics too. 


I used Sew What Pro to add a bow (Applique Cafe) onto Applique Momma's adorable snowman.


Addison loved pointing out to everyone that she had a "snowgirl" and not a snowman. :) 


Loved getting to try out Applique Cafe's Christmas train for cousin Alex. I really like using Fabric Finders tri-checks. 

Just some of the many (I think my Mom & I did close to 20) Christmas towels. We used Applique Momma's vintage ornament and I used Embroidery Boutique's Lexi monogram. 


Addison with her elf Abigail in her Christmas pajamas I made her. 

Addison & Austin in their coordinating Christmas pajamas. Austin was so funny about not wanting polka dots but I did manage to find some lime green solid flannel for him. Although he wasn't thrilled with the fact that it was lime green - he said he wanted forest green. Oh well at least he let me do the tree applique on his shirt. :)

I decided to put the cute snowgirl in a patch. So once again I used Sew what pro and used the megaphone patch (took out the megaphone out of course) to put the snowgirl in. I love the zebra & pink combination of fabrics too. I ended up making this snowgirl patch for Maddie & for baby Lauren.   
I also made a coordinating skirt for Lauren to go with her snowgirl. 


Love the coordinating Alabama outfits for Grey, Lauren & Britt! Design wise Applique Cafe's megaphone patch and Applique Momma's elephant paw print. 

Applique Cafe's megaphone patch plus I put an Alabama A in the megaphone.

Applique Momma's elephant paw print with Alabama A.

Now for those of you who know me I am a HUGE ALABAMA FAN! I went to Alabama, my parents went to Alabama, my family is from Northport (right outside of Tuscaloosa), etc... But I married an Auburn engineer and our son chose Auburn but I've been holding on to our daughter. Alabama won the National Championship last year and I made Addison a "National Championship" outfit. Right after that happened my husband asked me if Auburn ever won the National Championship would I make Addison an Auburn outfit? I said "sure sweetie" thinking when will that happen... Well it happened so here's her megaphone patch (Applique Cafe) and I did make her coordinating skirt. At least I tried to make the orange cuter with polka dots. I have to say it was pretty hard to make an Auburn outfit for her but I had promised so I kept my promise. And Congratulations Auburn on the National Championship...

Addison's a cutie even in her Auburn outfit. :)

And here's a picture of my husband with our kids dressed in their Auburn attire. :) Maybe if Alabama wins another one I can get both of my kids dressed in Alabama attire to get a picture with me. ROLL TIDE!
