Sooooo Busy!

So many last many things to do for the Beehive Bazaar! So excited to get them finished... Lots of anxiety. If I could leave the world behind (kids- husband) I could be finished in 2 days. But since I can't do that (in more ways than one) I will be working up until the last minute. I have to say my little sister Andrea is an angel for helping me with the kids this last week & hopefully this next week.



enjoy these pictures my mother in-law took. I was super sad I missed taking any pictures this fall- it was an especially vibrant one this year. I'm so glad she was so taken by the beauty of these trees to stop and take some pictures. love he

Adam's Fast Car

no this is not a car commercial- this is adam's relatively new hobby. in this clip you can see a GT3 & a ZR1 letting him by, which is supposedly as good as passing. yes he's showing off - top speed is 140mph, but "its the braking and cornering that takes skills."

P.S. this is filmed with adam's Iphone

Dress design for Shabby Apple dresses

Dress design for SHABBY APPLE DRESSES

leave it to me to find out about this at the last minute & of course have a crying baby all night didn't help me get it finished.

i'm pretty sure i'm too late but i thought i would post this anyway. shabby apple is/was having a dare to design contest & so here are my designs. you'll have to use your imagination quite a bit since my drawing skills are very limited...


imagine this first dress with a super soft flowing stretch knit- i was inspired by the pink striped material i have (second pic) doesn't this look comfy? the large ruffle reminds me of mexico & the elastic waist band attached breaks up the dress for those of us who need a little help in looking leaner. i would add a cap sleeve under the ruffle to make it a bit more modest. ;) ;) nudge, nudge...




the top of this dress is a comfy t-shirt (stretch knit) material with the sleeves a tiny bit puffed. the shoulders have a bit of a rouched look and the cuffs on the sleeves are about an inch long. the skirt & belt are attached & is a little high waisted. the zipper would come up the back maybe even sewn on the outside for a little edgy-er look to this dainty looking dress. i love when stripes are sewn to look the the old chevron signs. i'm thinking white on top and navy blue in the stripes & maybe a red or navy blue belt or flip all the colors around. anything works for this.
