I'm Back.....

Oh, it's been way too long, hasn't it. I stopped updating my blog mainly because I needed to take full-time work and learn the job. It was overwhelming and very tough on me. Needless to say, I lost the job after 5 months of struggling to meet the demands. It really stung at the time, but I do believe that things happen for a reason and this just wasn't to be my future. After that experience, I decided that I was going to work at something I loved instead. I have always had an Etsy shop, which has been moderately successful. I have put full force behind it with better results that I reall anticipated. However, it wasn't going to generate the income I needed. In a brain-storming session with my oh-so-creative sister, we came up with an idea for a business. The result? The Wedding Sisters

We have just begun our first advertising campaign and have all our fingers and toes crossed in the hopes that this will make a go. We are specializing in linen rental designed for that special event in your life, whether it be a wedding, anniversary, birthday, you name it. If it's special, we want to be a part of it. I've loved designing some very special chair accessories, too. Here is the first one rolling off the assembly line. I call it the "Rosette." I'm so proud of this one. Proud enough to put a copywright on it!

And this little number we are calling the Demi Chair Cover.

We are currently working on a wedding for mid-August. Here's a sampling of the bows currently in process for that wedding along with our logo tag, which I never tire of seeing!

If you live in the Greater Phoenix Area and know someone who might just really love to use our services, send them our way!

Her First White Dress

Not only do we have an beautiful, perfect granddaughter....

She rocked an awesome

dress

on her blessing day...

made by your's truly.

Okay, maybe that's a self-serving post.

Sorry.

She just looks so darn beautiful in it.

Seriously,

I've made a lot of beautiful white dresses -

many wedding gowns

and even a burial dress for a sweet baby

who left this mortal life too early -

But this was a wonderful experience.

I look forward to making more

for other granddaughters

in the future.

Break Time

As you can see, this is my first post in quite a while.

My absence from my blog has caused me quite a bit of guilt.

I had intended for this blog to be a sharing outlet for all my projects,

which it will remain,

but life has thrown me a curve ball

and I'm working full-time again.

While I am thrilled and very thankful for this wonderful job opportunity,

the training has been grueling and time consuming,

and there just hasn't been any time at all for crafting and sewing.

So, I'm taking a little break, hopefully not too long, until I get a grasp on my new job and all it entails.

When I return to blogging,

I will bring you some tutorials that I've had sitting on the back burner for a while

get you all caught up on things around here.

'till then,

Sew Happy,

Flower Monday

 A bright bunch of Sunflowers.

Perfect for late summer days.

Our weekend....

I can't remember a weekend with so much going on at once!

First, the arrival of Cooper Joseph in the wee hours of Friday.

Then, that same evening...

Matt and Britnie

tied the knot.

followed by quite a p-a-r-t-y!

Our family had a blast

and my husband showed off a few dance moves

that haven't been seen on a dance floor since the 70s. (grin)

Then,

the next day

around 11:00 am,

my oldest

graduated from his master's program

in occupational therapy.

So proud of him!!

Wow!

I'm ready for some quiet time this weekend.
