It has really been a long time.

Well since last I wrote I have sold/gifted most of my inventory and am now left with some serious sewing projects. I have some help with sales now, my awesome mom in the Philly area is selling like she gets paid!There are a few gift shops up there that are caring the three packs and the booties. Booties, that is my job this weekend.. they take so long but are so cute and in high demand. I have to give the public what they want, right? So its my mission this weekend. I will show some pictures later on this week.

Sew, that's all for now!!!!

Oh did you want your name on that!!!!



I am an old fashion girl who loves technology these days. Every time I buy a new piece of technology I do have a flash back to the first Terminator movie where the robots take over the world and that only TV show my husband I both like is Battle Star Galactic, another show where the robots take over, but I am pretty sure there will never be killer embroidery machines so I think humanity can rest assured.

So this weekend the ease of an automatic embroidery machine was amazing. I was confused for about a minute when I realized it did not need a foot peddle. I use a wonderful 35 year old Bernina for my everyday sewing and love it so much, I had no idea what all the new stuff felt like.
So I watched the DVD and read the instructions and went to town. It was the first item I had every bought from the HSN and I am impressed. Now we are ready for some business, I am doing the burpies now and will do the booties soon. Seriously my full time life is getting in the way of my crafty me-time.

To Market, To Market.....




"Ahh Snap" to quote Emily. thanks to my Burpies' Hot Mama's ( no really I am going to trade mark that name) using the Burpies in the G'boro I have got some more requests for business now from a retailer, so look out for the billboard bus advertisements!! I kid but I am having so much fun and loving all the attention (who me, really) and a million thanks to all that have bought Burpies and More and to those who will in the future, bring it on. Here are some pictures, late last night when I was packing up stuff to show today. The Printery in Greensboro did a wonderful job with my cards, Chris and Scott Hill are super printers.

Every girl loves shoes, until you make a 100 of them

it looks like we have elves. but they are very polite and take off there shoes when they enter the house.






seriously I could eat his feet up, they are so cute. I will make size 6-9 months next to keep the boy in style. Right now I only am making 0-6 month sizes.



he looks like a man in his saturday clothes. just hanging out, gona read the paper, do some yard work, watch the NCAA games. just a typical Saturday with his dad.

I read a lot of blogs and I have noticed the inner dialog that people have is extremely funny and very nice for them, see I do not have that. My brain and wants work like me driving, fast, not really paying attention and there is a real person in the passenger seat tell me I am crazy.
so I am sorry for not doing anything this weeekend that was fun, like go to a movie, but I do have these really freaking cute shoes to boot, all puns intended, infact if I love that our language allows for us to call things booties.
I got this great idea for making baby botties from Emily and off I went like a whirring dervish on a tear. ( my mom laughs every time I tell her something crazy I did or am doing like, the woman is never surprised, scared but never surprised)

okay so I thought well, I love doing the ensemble line sewing project, ( I loved to play factory as a kid, no joke I was in love with the industrial revolution, so weird I know) you know do each step for each piece all in a row then move on so I spent the entire weekend doing just that, serious same stretchy pants all weekend with a shower break for a b-day party and church (my mother in laws) okay back to me. So here are some pictures, I finally stopped last night because my special order felt ( not a choking hazed) buttons are in the mail and I should get them tomorrow. But here are pictures of my favorite model and the line of shoes on my couch.
I should have them all done and up on the Etsy website by Tuesday, they will be $12 and 2 dollars for regular shipping.
