Back To School They Go!

Today was the girls first day back to school! They were both very excited and a little nervous. Xiera is now a fourth grader. She told me that when you are in fourth grade, backpack book bags are out and messenger bags are in. I found her cute messenger bag on Artfire.com. The bunny is the artwork of Chibibunny.

Zella insisted on dressing up for this special day and picked out a zebra printed dress to wear. She said she wanted to look fancy for her first day of first grade. She wanted a unicorn book bag this year and I was able to find one at Hanna Andersson with the lunch bag to match.

They wore their fancy footwear that they picked out.

And off they went onto that big yellow bus.

A Busy Crocheting Week

Cool fall weather is fast approaching and the custom orders are beginning to pour in. I have been working on something new every day. I finished two cute cloche hats this week for a dear customer of mine. I haven't made them in awhile so it was refreshing to make these. The first one is the Euro Garden Cloche.

The next one is the Whimsy Fun Cloche.

Both of these cloche hats are available in my Etsy store.
I also worked on two adorable purses. It had been almost two years since I had made a fairy mushroom house purse so it was exciting to make another. I just love this purse.

The latest purse I finished made me feel ready for fall. The cute little pumpkin purse is always a fall favorite of mine to create.

Both of these purses are available in my Etsy store. Now I am ready for a cup of hot apple cider and my favorite fall treat; candy corn.

The Minions Have Arrived!

Sugar3 Boutique on Facebook is having their Villainous Launch going on right now. Karen of Layla*and*Stitch and I collaborated for this fun launch. Karen made the shirts and I made the hats to match.

I believe the shirts are already sold but if you are interested in them, you can contact Karen on her business page on Facebook, Layla and Stitch Children's Boutique and ask her if she will be making anymore. Two of the Evil Purple Minion hats have already been purchased with Buy It Now, but once I am caught up with orders, I plan to list these fun hats in my Etsy store.


This collaboration was so much fun! I always enjoy working with Karen. She has been making beautiful boutique clothing for my girls for seven years now. She is very talented and her designs are absolutely amazing. The Sugar3 Villainous launch ends tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. CST so if you get a chance, please stop on by. There are a lot of wonderful designs available for this fun launch!
