December already!

OK, I'm not sure where the time went, but I've found myself unprepared to send out hand crafted Christmas cards, as I have done for so many years past. This year has been so hectic, I have decided to keep the Christmas cards simple. I still need to get photos of the girls in their Christmas outfits too!

Although I don't make daily (or even monthly) entries on our Blog page, I do try to keep the photo albums (see link to the left) up to date with photos of the girls, so we hope you enjoy viewing those.

I'm finally caught up on my orders for now (and a few birthday gifts for Haley's friends), so I'm taking off tonight and giving Janome a rest (that's my sewing/embroidery machine). It seems like as soon as September hits, we have a birthday party to attend almost every weekend, so with that in mind, I created a little birthday dress for Haley to wear (and also to sell on my site). Here she is modeling it:


Next, I am going to start building up an inventory of items that I will be selling at craft shows. I have one scheduled for November and will work to schedule additional ones before the holidays.

Not too much to update on... just doing a ton of projects. Oh ya, I did manage to start to organize a 'sewing studio' in our spare bedroom, which I'll share half with the girls for their playroom. This will allow me to 'clean up' the dining room, where my sewing machine rarely left. :) Here's a picture of where I am so far... I have a lot more organizing to do:

I'm not really sure how many people are actually visiting this blog space (gee, I need to figure out how to add a counter so I know if it is worth updating or not...)
I have been trying to keep our photo's updated, so you can always check those out on a regular basis... just click on the link to the left or here

HaleyBug Designs Takes Off!

Last week I was contacted by a local company which designs specialty fabrics and have been asked to provide tote bags and some other boutique style gifts. They found me through the internet. I met with them last week and we discussed some of the items they were looking for and the particular style of bag. They sent me home with a few yards of fantastic fabric to 'create' a prototype and some other sample items. Needless to say, I've been super busy working on these projects and haven't had much time to keep our blog updated. Here's a sample burp cloth with the fabric they provided to me.

Smile Lola!

I finally went to the photo studio and had some photos taken of Lola. Here are some of the proofs:

Slip and Slide Time!

We broke out the slip and slide to help Haley cool off in the hot Florida sun. Last year she barely slid on it, this year she has mastered it. Check it out at YouTube

Who's Who?

I've been trying to get photos of Haley and Lola at the same age, so we could do a comparison of how similar they look. Here's one I took today of Lola and one I had of Haley at approximately the same age....
