Available at   my etsy shop only...price includes shipping for this item.

Curls,Cupcakes...OH MY!!

Top bow was made for family friend. I was experimenting with a the curling technique.

The second is a curly ribbon ponytail available for purchase here for two weeks for $1.50 once posted in the store the price will go up to $3.00

The third is for my family. They just wanted a plain bow with pink middle on an alligator clip when they realized that I was out of headbands.

Cheer Bows black and white

The larger loop bow is taken by a family member. Though the smaller one is available for purchase at www.artfire.com/users/beautifulswagstore. This is fundraiser for a local cheer squad. This is why the asking prices is $10.00

Birthday Purse

So, this is a purse I made for my friend for her birthday. She got it today. She was so thrilled by it. I will be making one for myself but reverse. The pattern is personal use tou. So, I can't make them to sell.
Happy Birthday Robyn!

Baby/Puppy Sling**no longer available**

Omg. The directions for making the sling where easy to follow, however, the width for holding a baby to you is too narrow for a chihauhau puppy or any toy puppy breeds.
This is available for purchase for a short stance of person wanting a light weight sling..$5.00 this includes shipping.**This is no longer available. It has been given away as part of a baby gift set.***

Pucks For Purple

Above are two different types of ponytail holders. One is solid purple the other is a mixture of purple printed ribbon, translucent, and solid. They will be auctioned off a the pucks for purple event held in February 2011. Again the benefactor of the fund raising is the  Purple Ribbon Council. No actual information is available yet about this event. When it comes available I will post it everywhere for you to find.

Feeding Mat for Puppy Chichuaha

above is a feeding mat for our puppy. Will be available upon request.

Junior Cheer Bows

Above is the junior cheer bows

Puppy Chichuahua Blanket Coat

Above is the blanket coat I had to make for our new 3 month old puppy. This particular breed is easily cold. So, keeping it "dressed" is very important to its health. We have tried to find several xxs outfits to help keep the dog active and healthy including its collar. They are all too big for the current size dog. So, I took one of the outfits we bought, traced the outline of the outfit and downsized from there.
My only mistake in making this outfit is cutting the belly straps too small and long. Our puppy and still wiggle out of the belly part but not the head part. I had to use 2 inches of elastic on the neck to make sure it would fit over its head and not choke the neck.  Needless to say, you can see a happily content puppy after receiving first round of shots yesterday.

TGI Friday

I had my interview. I have been recommended for the position at the school. Doing the happy dance just waiting on the human resource department.

Dug out the ribbon we bought to make new hair accessories, printing off instructions for a baby sling to carry our puppy in while at the school, finishing up gift 1 of a birthday gift that I am making my friend.

Waiting on information about my banner for pucks for purple, for sales at the artfire store because of hugh clearance sale, and more company coming into town for visits.

I will be creating a new posting schedule here due to I just spent two hours reading and replying everyone's blogs I follow from about two weeks back. Way to long on the computer. So, everyone please do not be offended if you don't hear from me on comments or postings here.
