Trunk show?

I am very flattered to be asked to go to Tallassee on the 6th of November and do a "trunk show" of my very own creations. I couldn't believe that Tonya thought my stuff was good enough. But she did. So I have gathered tons of stuff I have made, washing, ironing, doing some last minute sewing in preparation.

I am still in shock, but starting to look forward to it. I have order forms, a price list, business cards and I am working on a catalog-type thing.

Wish me luck.

Our God is an Awesome God!!

Our chuch has had the honor of ministering to a Muslim family for the last couple of months. They gave birth to their fifth child last week, their first little girl. She was born with heart issues and needed open heart surgery. Not quite a week old yet. This family allowed our church to pray over them this past Sunday during our worship service. Their baby girl was in surgery for many long hours today and the doctors thought at first that they were going to have to leave her chest open because of the enlarged heart. Praise be to God that when the surgery was completed, her heart was NOT enlarged at all and her chest cavity was closed!!

Not only is that the praise but this family made comments that this wonderful news is all because of the prayers our church sent up to "our" God!!!! Pray for open hearts to receive "our" Jesus Christ as their savior. He is working on their hearts and is ready to receive them with open arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jewelry party and trunk show

Kayla is having a jewelry party tomorrow (Thursday) night at 7pm at our house. It is a Premiere Designs Jewelry party and we would love for you to come. If you need directions, please let me know.

I am honored to have been asked to do a "trunk show" at Tonya's house. She has so graciously invited me to bring samples of my sewing and pictures of the rest to her house. She is inviting all of her friends with babies/toddlers and wants to have a trunk show.

I can't describe how I feel that someone thinks the things I make are good enough to be shared with all of her friends. I am still not very confident in my skills.

I am trying to gather up all of my favorite things and make sure they are clean and pressed and looking their best. Wish me luck!

What an inspiration!

A Montgomery family was recently brought to my attention and I have been reading about them. Seems I can't get enough. This family has 3 biological children and have adopted 4 more. That is my dream!!!! I think my husband would think I had lost my mind! But I would be overjoyed!!

I'd like to introduce the Portis family. Go check them out at www.joyportis.blogspot.com or their family website at www.portis.org

The Portis family was also featured in September's Montgomery Living magazine.

Read about them and see if you are not as blessed as I was. Let them know.

Halloween

Are you as excited as I am about dressing up the little ones and taking them out to show them off? I am planning on making Chloe a peacock costume. The pictures below are my inspiration from ebay....

Fall

I am preparing the babies for a trip to the Pumpkin Patch and loving sewing all of this fall stuff. Fall is my favorite time of year anyway and creating special outfit for the biggest reason to give thanks is one of my favorite things to do. I created this turkey outfit for Ethan and I bought Chloe's. Paid way too much money for something I can make.

I posted the picture on my previous post but didn't have it modeled so here it is. What do you think?


I made Anniston one too but she is sleeping right now so I can't get her to model it yet!!!

Speaking of fall, I am loving this cooler weather. It is going to be in the 50's Wednesday night. Yea!!

Fall projects and a cute pic

This is my first upcycled project. I used an old shirt of Wesleys. I took before pics but before I could get them uploaded, somebody deleted them. Not naming any names......hmmmm! It was a really nice Tommy Hilfiger shirt but apparently, he didn't like it very much.

Not a very good pic. One side of the outfit is a chambray blue and the other is a dark blue and green plaid. I used the original Tommy buttons from the shirt.

This is a reversible Thanksgiving outfit made out of babywale corduroy. I don't like the reverse side after all, so we are just gonna use the Turkey side. I usually add snaps in the crotch but since I had originally planned to make this one reversible, I didn't put any snaps. I think it's adorable.

And of course, I had to add a cute Chloe picture. It's hard to believe she is almost 2 years old!!
