*additions to the shop*
{i create soooo many bibs in a huge variety of fabrics and usually i don't have the time to photograph them...so i'm finally getting around to adding some more options to the shop! and hopefully more to come!!}*Happy 5th Beehive!*
{this past saturday, b and i got to help the beehive co-op celebrate it's 5th year being opened!}
{we got ready, took some outdoor pictures and then went to the hive a little early to help set up...}
{the hive's manager, mrs. malene davis (lani to me) and myself. i was so excited to finally get our picture! luckily we took this before the party started! lani and i have been friends since day one. lani-girl is an amazing person to have as a friend. she's like a book of knowledge you want to keep in your back pocket...i try to be a sponge and soak up whatever she throws my way. she has been such an enormous help to me and my company....she's my lani-girl!}
{we couldn't go without a shot of me by my booth...i have since updated and changed things around....hehe}
{the food and dessert set up was amazing. i couldn't eat a whole lot due to some medications...but the items i did have were wonderful! the cupcakes pictured above were from our fellow beehiver, pink butterfly sweet shop...they are actually delivered fresh every day at the beehive! oh and they were gone by the night was done! not surprised! this way too cute cake pictured above...was created by another fellow beehiver...jacqeline sanchezjust for the party!}
{the event was so much fun. being able to talk with other designers and meet their husbands was a real treat! b and i left the party right before it ended...we were so glad we could be apart of the beehive's celebration! Happy 5th Year Beehive!!!}

*before the weekend...*
{i wanted to get your feedback on this new tee...}{first let me tell you i used this fabric that is shown only because it was the first fabric i put my hand on...looks kind of like a Christmas fabric...but this applique is not intended as just a Christmas applique...with that said...}
{my intention on creating this applique was to dress up a simple white tee. i create a ton of appliques for little girls...but i was thinking about creating an applique that could be used in multiple fabrics and one that would look dressed up enough to wear to a party or sunday service (e.g., a skirt and pair of tights)...or worn casually (e.g., a pair of jeans and a cardigan). my idea was a ribbon...a ribbon can be dressy right? i sketched a ton of ribbons...the more i sketched...the more i liked this Laura Ingalls type ribbon. to me it felt dressy and yet playful. so i'm thinking this can be done in a ton of fabrics (basically any color you can think of) and it can be created on long or short sleeved tees, lap tees and even one-pieces.
so what do you think?
love it? hate it?}
*a peak at some fall colors*
{we took a drive this past weekend and as we were leaving our neighborhood...i could see the beautiful fall colors starting to peak up over the hill....}
{as we drove farther down the street...we could see that some of the trees were already in their glory...}
{this one was one of my favorites....hope you all get a chance this weekend to take in all the beautiful colors fall has to offer...Happy Friday!!} *$100 Gift Card to Aunty Olllie!*
-we all love giveaways...and Grosgrain always gives us the best giveaways....but i thought this one was extra special...here's why...(via groisgrain's site)...Aunty Ollie came to exist after creator, Jodie Hampshire, adopted three beautiful children in 2007. You can imagine how much children’s bedding and clothing she and her husband had to buy! Most of what she found left her wanting: no to superheroes! No to clothes that made a child look like she was about to go clubbing. (amen to that!) Quickly she moved from bedding into clothing, as these beautiful prints were just begging to be used in children’s clothes! Friends started asking for clothes for their kids (and themselves!), and Aunty Ollie was born in 2009. here are some pieces from Aunty Ollie... 
what's the giveaway? click here for more information.... *40 years??*
{i guess it makes sense that Sesame Street is celebrating it's 40th birthday....i mean...i grew up with Big Bird...Bert and Ernie...back in the early 80's...so okay...40 it is...
well Happy Birthday Sesame Street!}
{you didn't see this type of post coming did you? lol.}

*don't forget the kids & the leftovers...*
{okay...so i'm really not trying to bi-pass Thanksgiving...i mean don't get me wrong...I LOVE CHRISTMAS....but i do like Thanksgiving...there are the awesome side dishes...i'm a lover of sides...don't really need the turkey...just give me some sweet potatoes...green bean casserole...corn bread stuffing....oh yummy!!
but if people get too full...these lovely containers are perfect for taking left overs home...}
{don't forget about making the kids feel apart of the holiday...don't just stick them together at a boring table in the corner...}
{make them feel like the kid's table is special for Thanksgiving. i'd gladly sit at the kiddy table if it meant i could doodle while eating my mash potatoes and corn. ;) }

*found them!...oh wait...*
{i often tell my husband that i think we need new bed linens....but i can never find ones that i really like...if i do happen to see ones that spark my interest...they are usually too expensive. like these....i love these...they have the look, the colors, the patterns that i love....but they don't fit into our budget...darn!}
{found these via print & pattern...love that blog!}
