Adding "You" to a wedding dress .client.

Recently I reconnected with a friend of mine from high school, Ashley. After a very long afternoon of stories and laughs we decided this go around we would stay in touch.

A few weeks after we got together she texted me asking if I would be interested in some work for a dear friend of her's.

Well sure.... I always love new projects...

Meet Christin, she is just about the cutest thing ever... and did I mention I love her sense of humor??
She is great....

After talking to Christin she was wanting me to make the table cloth for her Wedding cake and make some sashes for her bistro tables for the reception...

I had a blase making these things for her and can't wait to see pictures of the reception!! I do have some pics i took with the iphone but i know good and well, JMalahy Photography will get some great shots in a few weeks and I will post what he shoots later..

Now, on to that wedding dress....

Christin and I spoke after we finished the table cloth and she showed me the "inspiration" picture of her wedding dress.

She found a divine dress but it didn't happen to have the flowers on the hip like she was wanting.

That's where I had to put my head to the grinding stone and figure out how to make some rosettes.

Last weekend mom and I went to Nashville to see some of her dear friends and they graciously showed me how to make them.

Here is what we came up with...

now... just on the off chance her prince charming makes his way over to my blog... I am not posting the whole dress. We will have to wait and see Christin in it on the BIG DAY.

Had so much fun learning new techniques and figuring out how to create these beutiful rosettes.

Did I mention Christin and JR are famous??

Jumpers

Found some super cute fabrics upon a recent trip to the store and figured, hey.... how hard could it be to throw together some shift dresses for little bit. 

come to find out... so easy!!!

Maksim's Bedding

Maksim's mommy was able to snap a few quick shots of little man's room just before he arrived. 

The look of the room was very Modern with a hint of whimsy.

Curtains

It's very hard to admit this but if I didn't have fun curtains throughout my home i would probably go crazy.

Seriously!!

I just love how one little fabric can tell the story of a whole room.

Plus, its a relatively inexpensive way to change a rooms personality. 

Here is a collection of a few things we have created recently.

Our new Look

I am sure many of you have noticed our new look. We are really pleased with how everything has turned out and with rumors (almost) confirmed we are expanding to embroidery!!!

Shh.hhh...... contain your excitement!! my mom says dad is going to be begging to have the cuff of all his button-ups monogrammed. hehe.

And....... we are also expanding to making Jewelry!!!!!

{the "catalog" collection has been made and now we just need to find the time to photograph and upload to our etsy shop. Yep, etsy shop, now you can purchase your items online in a safe and secure manner!! The long weekend is intended to catch up on all these wonderful things.}

 and possibly, if we can find the time, talk Candace into  it, adding some custom paintings to the line. 

Stay tuned for all these new exciting ventures!

btw, Roll Tide!!!!

for blog design check out B's Blog Boutique, she is really great to work with and super accommodating!

Doggie Bed

Okay I swear I did not place the dog on the bed, or stage this at all, I was in the process of trying to take pictures of the bed and he walked right in and plopped down and refused to move. 

Quite humerous i must say.

Anyway found a polka dot fabric and gathered it for a unique effect.

And with the fabric left over we added it to some navy blue fleece for two throw blankets!!

He just loves his bed!
