Another Custom Order

An old elementary/Jr. High friend contacted me and asked if I would make a large tote for her to carry her PartyLite supplies in. She asked for it to have pockets, flat flowers, and sturdiness was a must. This is what I came up with...

Back to School Crafts

So, I'm totally one of those moms that decorates for every occasion and milestone my son goes through. Today was his first day of Pre-K so of course we had First Day of School decorations. Here is what he woke up to...nothing too groundbreaking but they came out cute so I thought I would share.


I love all those adorable fabric flag banners that you see around these days. I didn't have fabric in the colors I wanted so I used paper instead. I used eyelets to reinforce the holes and only used tape to attach the letters so that I could easily remove them to use the flags again ( Happy Birthday, Father's Day, etc).

Scarves Anyone?

I know it seems too soon to think about winter wear. However, winter is fast approaching and we need to be prepared people!!! Ok, maybe not but I absolutely love scarves and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. I love to knit but I wanted some other cute scarves that I could make quicker. I came up with a few cute styles for some fabric scarves. Here is a sneak peak of one...


There are a few other styles I am going to work on and should have quite a few ready for the Old Town Orange Flea Market. I will be there Saturday, September 11th!!!

More Knot Bags

These bags are already sold but I wanted to put up more pictures. I just love these slouchy, casual bags!






I am hoping to have a few more made of these for sale by the end of the week.

Etsy

Ok, I finally added some clutches to Etsy. I don't have nearly as many items as I wanted but it is a start!! I plan on adding more items soon! Lots more clutches, knot bags, accessories, home goods, and children's things!

Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto

I decided to make a felt robot for a first birthday party this weekend.
I made Jackson one and it has been well loved and well played with for sure.


I decided to shrink down the size and embellish it a little more and it seriously came out so stinking cute.

Hope the little birthday boy has as much fun with it as Jackson has!

Dreaming of Dandelions Update

Well I'm getting closer and closer to putting things up for sale. It's a slow process...especially with 1. It being Summer and I want to enjoy being out and about. 2. Anthony and Jackson are home. Don't get me wrong...they are the two best distractions in the world. I'm just hoping that once Jack starts school again and Anthony goes back to work I will be able to get more accomplished :) So I still plan on putting things up for sale very soon...I just won't have as many things available as I had hoped. Oh well.

I made a new clutch pattern last night and made one of them this morning...super cute.



A few days ago I made a large hobo style bag...I'll be making a few more soon to put up for sale.

Dreaming of Dandelions has a Facebook Page

I just made it yesterday so it's still a work in progress.
I'm doing a giveaway so if you are on Facebook go and check it out!

Woo Hoo!

Nothing like a delivery of totally cute fabric!

Planning My Next Move

Well I have 8 more clutches to complete but I'm already starting to think about what I'm going to make next.
I'm thinking all things kitchen...

Aprons for sure. Some dish towels, pot holders, maybe even some of my place mats.

Watch out Heavenly Hostess.

One Step Closer

Well I have finished a few more clutches. These sure are time consuming little suckers. So, I am almost done with my ruffle clutches...one step closer to etsy!



I think this one is my absolute favorite. Probably no shock to those that know me and my obsession with blue & green.

I still have a few more ruffle clutches to finish.

I'm excited to see the finished product of the purple and green one.
Last night I took a break from the ruffle clutches to work on a new clutch. Let me know what you think.



Don't mind that open seem I left on the last picture. I wanted to get my pics up asap so I hadn't finished it yet.
