Busy little bee...


I've made more!

Some are for our trio packs (happy, sad and angry), and individuals.

I'm currently working on the large pillow sized angry cloud and I hope to have some stars, moons and suns in the near future also.

I don't feel that my day would have been good enough if I wasn't sewing something. Yea for productive days!

New Monsters!

We're under attack!!


We have new monsters! AHHH! ::runs away screaming with arms wagging over head::



These apparitions will be appearing on our Etsy shop in the near future.
They are a continuation of our Monstrously Cute series.


What is not to love about these adorable drooly guys?

Tee shirt Recon!

I've had this one shirt for quite a few years. I love this shirt.
Never wore it.
It was WAY too short! At least two inches above my naval, but way too cute to get rid of.

I made it longer by adding jersey knit ruffles to the bottom.


The ruffles are not level, but I thought that it would be perfect for the chaos that this little monster creates.

Now it has new meaning and is fun to wear!


I like this so much that I need to find other shirts to do this too. :)

Glitter and lace!


I made a bustle! My very first one, and most certainly not my last!
I've very happy with this piece. Sometimes it feels like they are more art pieces rather then clothing because I make my own pattern and pretty much wing it.

I love the short skirt and bustle look, very burlesque but classy.

There are layers and layers of fabric. Hot pink cotton (use to be a bed sheet), black chiffon, black soft tulle with glitter bats on it, and stiff black tulle in between the layers to give that fluffy look.

My hubby said while I was making it that he didn't understand why I wanted a bigger butt.
I giggled and said that I didn't care, I wanted a bustle. It's all about the style. I LOVE it!


It was very easy to make. I wish that I was good at giving instructions, I would do tutorials all the time. But,it was that easy to make. Very simple sewing skills.

You can see a little sparkle from the glitter bats on the fabric, I layered the black chiffon under it to make it look darker over the pink.

I have some vintage hot lace from the 80's, so I sewed it on and cut it up to give it a ripple-y affect.
I also used two different kinds of black lace trim.

I'm going to make another all black and with fancier fabric and a little different style.
