Best Present Ever

After months and months of begging, my husband finally got the hint and bought me a french dress form to help me with my sewing for Christmas. this is by far the BEST present I have ever received!

A couple months ago my mom bought one very similar to mine, her's was more for decoration though. Anyway she keeps it in her dinning room and puts vintage dresses she collects (yes, a love for vintage runs in the family) on her. She even named her, Elizabeth Taylor. Yes, I know this sounds odd, and your probably thinking my mom needs to get her head checked, but if you saw the rest of her house you would see just how cute this all looks in her house.

I thought naming it would create some more creative juices flowing. Any suggestions

Back At It!

Well its been awhile since I've blogged but I know I know I'm really gonna do my best to get back to it!

I've been super busy working on my sewing machine and really making a conscience effort to build my business. I love making clothes and my goal for this year is to really start making my living doing just that. My focus on my blog is going to based on my inspiration and my business.

Over the next couple months I will be showing all my inspiration for my upcoming spring collection!

I currently have an Etsy shop now where I sell refurbished vintage clothing, handmade pieces and vintage patterns. Click Here to view details of my Etsy Shop!

Currently I have some winter pieces in my shop so SHOP AWAY so we can make room for Spring!

Hope to really make a commitment to blog two or three times a week. Between trying to move, be a mom to a two year old, trying to find a school for kids, and working essentially two jobs - You can imagine I'm super busy! BUT I really hope to make a commitment and build my business more!

Happy New Year All!

Toliet Paper Woes...

To my darling husband....

The next time you leave me with only this much toliet paper on the roll, while no one is home for me to call, "Honey, Can You Toss me a roll of tp?" I will hide all the toliet paper in a secret place and you will be forced to fend for yourself.
