Well aparently I did get lost because well its been a long time since I last posted anything. I have found myself and thought maybe its a good idea that I get back in the habit about posting on my poor neglected blog. <br />
<br />
This month has been rather busy for us. I did my first show for the year last weekend down on Galveston's Strand (Galveston, TX), it was a nice day and we did really well. This weekend we have another show out in Angleton, TX at the Angleton Market Days, I always have a blast while out there so really looking forward to it. Also the next weekend we have a show with the League City Heritage Foundation at the Longhorn Museum (League City, TX) . So like I said very very very busy. <br />
<br />
Along with all of the new shows we have gotten involved in I have start making new styles of dresses, mostly for a consignment shop that I have been with for nearly a year, the Cutie Patootie in Texas City, Tx. But these darn dresses are sooo darn cute that I have start to carry them with me to the shows too. My little Juleen has been such a good model that I really couldnt ask for better. <br />
<br />
So to end my story for today, here is a few pictures of my new dresses and hope to see you at show <br />

LOL. I have been doing lots and lots and lots of sewing, so much sew that I think I could sew in my sleep if I was daring enough to try, But I am too chicken, afraid I might loose a finger or two and I am slightly attached to them so not going to try it. <br /><br />My plan for the year has been to do at least one craft show/festival booth, that will allow me to carry my craft, a month. Success on that since March, soo much so that I am booked for two shows a month for the next 3 months and November. Which is good because I am getting out there meeting the customers and getting my name out there, Great. Of course the down side of that is as soon as the show is over I have to quickly replenish what was sold for the next one. But I am having a blast. On top of all the shows I have my items in two consignmnent shops and that is a blast because I get to know what the shop owners want and make new items that I would of never thought of making. <br /><br />So half the year is gone and I swear I just woke up yesterday and it was the begining of the year. Hope the rest of yall are having a blast through your year and if you arent doing craft shows/festivals yet, but thinking about it, just throw yourself into it. The worst thing that can happen is you dont and never know what you are missing out on.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-26672866904981053312011-04-08T10:32:00.002-05:002011-04-08T10:35:14.073-05:00New fabrics coming in on TuesdayI wanted to share with yall my pretty new fabrics that are coming in on Tuesday 4/12/11. <br /><br />They are all from Clothworks, so good quality fabric and I just love them. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUP4EWugRoTSJ0IDdrRi-vNaKs_dt3VLLuojbIBnh5xppT7LKIjYJgX2ZNqzNe2zP1N4gd0qx9Go04v_tvmszKQqRFpyX-oz7Ja8FPvhM6hUZlswAqWiCzIwrMMfle3IBv8gElYENk14Y/s1600/Urban-Landscapes-Y0601-37.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUP4EWugRoTSJ0IDdrRi-vNaKs_dt3VLLuojbIBnh5xppT7LKIjYJgX2ZNqzNe2zP1N4gd0qx9Go04v_tvmszKQqRFpyX-oz7Ja8FPvhM6hUZlswAqWiCzIwrMMfle3IBv8gElYENk14Y/s320/Urban-Landscapes-Y0601-37.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593236584686061554" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9XgBJp_Mye9e3TNKKduh1YrPmg0rZr6u412J5yJtozEXI0-Lk1WLp3gGnsL2njizj5Ia_a-qtUmdJchJB2jfQAiY1nCiK7KvxWT0YxaLERsZXKCNc-x9q94KlWqsm3ExuL1ajhH5rDnI/s1600/Fleur-Nouveau-Y0473-20.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9XgBJp_Mye9e3TNKKduh1YrPmg0rZr6u412J5yJtozEXI0-Lk1WLp3gGnsL2njizj5Ia_a-qtUmdJchJB2jfQAiY1nCiK7KvxWT0YxaLERsZXKCNc-x9q94KlWqsm3ExuL1ajhH5rDnI/s320/Fleur-Nouveau-Y0473-20.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593236582696233794" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2d7z0oTurGldnfqhPcihGqAEnJByfNcn7fSwXVUAF8wV-fxBYLHX-LDIZGDBIa8TvNr7rOZLToK7UCAvHt_KJAESPrGw9Rhyphenhyphen-VSRX3WdYKBN4GopZGxs6udZAQfMQscKmV3DEbLEns0/s1600/Junes-Backyard-Y0462-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ2d7z0oTurGldnfqhPcihGqAEnJByfNcn7fSwXVUAF8wV-fxBYLHX-LDIZGDBIa8TvNr7rOZLToK7UCAvHt_KJAESPrGw9Rhyphenhyphen-VSRX3WdYKBN4GopZGxs6udZAQfMQscKmV3DEbLEns0/s320/Junes-Backyard-Y0462-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593236581763442866" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlUF1IQ1bF-BvJUYmhd1EE0E74LiixmAyOqMXkXmIYAfXXMU2-izMMhV10aR5FQPrna9Wtf6aH0NnvJXG31C2DcqtyFnlbD-a4PfHtKmcfl48w3HxvPQW30OBxS6ZuG2IzHS2eCWhees/s1600/Blue-Bouquet-Y0454-9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 278px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitlUF1IQ1bF-BvJUYmhd1EE0E74LiixmAyOqMXkXmIYAfXXMU2-izMMhV10aR5FQPrna9Wtf6aH0NnvJXG31C2DcqtyFnlbD-a4PfHtKmcfl48w3HxvPQW30OBxS6ZuG2IzHS2eCWhees/s320/Blue-Bouquet-Y0454-9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593236578887620146" /></a>Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-17142807699933213532011-03-31T18:54:00.001-05:002011-03-31T18:55:16.188-05:00Super momFor several years now my mother in law has called me super mom, I always took it as a compliment, that is until recently. I have gotten to be too super. <br /><br />I am a stay at home mom with two kids. My son is 6 and my daughter is 17 months. I earned the title super mom when my son was 2 and half, I had started babysitting some of my friends kids and managed to keep the house clean and diner on the table. Then shortly after my son turned three, I started my own business. It started out small, just sewing in my spare time and during nap times, I was still babysitting so couldn’t sew with 3-4 toddlers running around. Well I have been running this business for a little over 3 years now. Things have definitely improved and I have grown. My business has grown, my family has grown, my children have grown and now I sit here screaming slow down. I know growth is good, but sometimes things seem to grow too fast. I will not complain, tooooo much but I am just blown at how fast things grow. <br /><br />It feels as if yesterday I started this business and to see where it is today, I am proud. To know both my children are receiving the benefits of my business is also something that makes me proud. It makes me thrive and makes me want to work harder knowing that one day this business may grow to a point that I will need and be able to get a larger space to work in and many other things that I only dream of right now. <br /><br />SO now I don’t take being called as a compliment, I feel I have earned it as a title and enjoy hearing my Mother in law call me by it and my children too. <br />PS: although food is always on the table, now we don’t always have a clean house. Please don’t think I am MEGAMOM.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-61505503597662517452011-03-28T08:07:00.004-05:002011-03-28T08:17:25.286-05:00Angleton Tx Market Days<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2caBLqn2tWgBQB7TExK59nvQ2bzlWTwRAbLGcgBh9u0REJopkcfzw6Pt6iU2GbHlnK2_J-NqZp4nem3-WjKmQtdg1QeBY32LzSywaHxNP3yxk7bPvSvKHaCDJL9aQwvl1wzucHV0JeqU/s1600/Picture+1040.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2caBLqn2tWgBQB7TExK59nvQ2bzlWTwRAbLGcgBh9u0REJopkcfzw6Pt6iU2GbHlnK2_J-NqZp4nem3-WjKmQtdg1QeBY32LzSywaHxNP3yxk7bPvSvKHaCDJL9aQwvl1wzucHV0JeqU/s320/Picture+1040.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5589117146314178658" /></a><br /><br /><br />We spent the weekend at a new market, and it was great. It was fun to stand in my booth and watch all the passersby, most of them greeting other family members or friends from the community. I must admit when we signed up for the event, I did not know that this was their first show and I had never been to Angleton. I will also admit that this was the nicest event/show I have done. Of course I dont have a ton of experience in doing these events, May last year was when I did my first one but this one beats all of them by far. And of course we made new friends with the other vendors, which is always fun. <br /><br />We will be returning to this lovely event in November and I think we will be really enjoying it. Its a nice close knit community and everyone is very nice. Even when we were all tearing down our booths everyone helped one another. Lovely Lovely Lovely.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6EYpGvVSj-nb7Ai5dCejesfY8SQAtWGxCsLjTY2wJDUw5L20qTYsWg1pNVNnsyDu-Gu6csEzWQsbi6HTZG-n0hkHuvu6aNy0Jpb78xgDU-nnXGWin2Z1-RrHFz2-d32TNjF-Z2LSsyzQ/s1600/Picture+1042.jpg"><img style="display:block;

LOL. And I dont really recall the break I had before that. <br /><br />So while Hubby was in class me and the kids had fun all day long. We did a lot of swimming, went to the zoo and on the way home we went to dinosaur world. When we got home, some distant relatives were visiting so we played a couple more days with them. The kids really had fun with all of their cousins. <br /><br />Now its Monday, get back to work day and I am finding it a little hard getting back into the groove. The kids too are having a hard time not running out side to play but we will get there eventually. <br /><br />We did get to have an amazing vacation and with a little one it wasnt too hard on the brain driving there and back with her screaming in the back seat. <br /><br />Here is a pic of Davin in a Dino Mouth from our trip to Dino world. That was the best part of the trip in my opinion. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYpb-J-a8XNhyqYo8pDW6WXTLHu9En_rS25GtjIETsTKOfdG049wyZKvrmOR8zRM_YmiDR9OTmh_dJmhYc_jIYGlKMtmYJRH9brDG96O7nlI3gXXQQn9_4-WnAnRJ3pLTjY-MJFdWlil8/s1600/Picture+986.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYpb-J-a8XNhyqYo8pDW6WXTLHu9En_rS25GtjIETsTKOfdG049wyZKvrmOR8zRM_YmiDR9OTmh_dJmhYc_jIYGlKMtmYJRH9brDG96O7nlI3gXXQQn9_4-WnAnRJ3pLTjY-MJFdWlil8/s320/Picture+986.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586611045316134802" /></a>Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-49214299156989683852011-01-30T10:02:00.002-06:002011-01-30T10:04:16.344-06:00Mail ChimpSo I am trying to add a quarterly newsletter to my to do list.

I am sure the last 14 days will be just as great as the rest of the year. <br /><br />With the awesome success that this year has brought I am looking forward to next year and with that I have posted in several places my goals for 2011, so I wont bore you with those but did want to add that I would love to be able to add some personal goals to my list. <br /><br />I have so far only listed what I want to do with my business for next year. Personally or family wise, I would love to stay on top of homeschooling my 6 year old. This year we have been lax and did it only when we felt like it. So far this week we have done great. Every day we have done at least one lesson. So YAY for us. LOL. I would love to also make a few more items for my kids, and not everyone elses kids. LOL. I love to make items for kids and usually I start with projects for mine but this year I seem to have focused more on the shop than my babies, so I want to do more for just them. And lastly we need to take a family vacation this year. We havent had one since I got preggers in 08 so we are definately due for one. Not sure where we will try to go but we need to go somewhere away from the computers and maybe somewhere without cell reception. <br /><br />Alright I feel much better about getting some goals down now to get back to playing with the kids before I need to start dinner. <br /><br />I hope if you have goals for 2011, business wise or personally, you can reach them and maybe even get more out of them than you hoped.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-90996646941599640142010-12-02T12:46:00.002-06:002010-12-02T12:50:13.064-06:00TomorrowWe will be at the Holiday in the park festival in League City Tx. I am hoping for a fun exciting festival, it will be the last one we do for the year. The last one we did in Katy was pretty good but I am hoping for more fun, and the weather looks like it might be perfect for all activities. Weather man says we are looking at Low 70's for the high and low 50's for the lows, so I might not freeze too much. Still trying to finish a few more last minute things tonight, but It should really be tons of fun.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-53229370401448487822010-11-24T12:53:00.004-06:002010-11-24T12:57:16.388-06:00Sooo much is going onNot that I am complaining.<br />We have a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale starting Nov 26 ending Nov 29.<br />Also We are offering coupon codes, Fall10 will get you 10% off items purchased now through the end of the year, also Cafemomteam will also get you 10% off till the end of the year. <br />We have an awesome feature or spotlight if you will over on Morgan's Bubble<br /><a href="http://morganbubble.blogspot.com/2010/11/holiday-showcase-childish-thoughts.html">http://morganbubble.blogspot.com/2010/11/holiday-showcase-childish-thoughts.html</a>, feel free to come check it out and leave a comment.<br /><br />On a fun note we are taking the kids to the circus this weekend.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-12642632128241126232010-11-22T10:44:00.003-06:002010-11-22T10:52:12.839-06:00An Awesome WeekendThis weekend was great. We had a gift market that we were vendors at, it was pretty good. <br /><br />Every day we drove an hour to get there, which wasnt too bad. Traffic was not bad either. We met a lot of new people, made friends with some of the other vendors. Friday was a little slow but that was sort of expected, Saturday was our best day and Sunday was slower than friday, but all in all I think it was great. Got some feedback from customers that I would have never met before. And learned a few more things to do to help my booth out. <br /><br />The kids got to stay with grandma and coming home was amusing. Both kids would drop what they were doing to run to me and get hugs and kisses, made me feel soo loved and special, because when I am home all day with them I dont get soo much loving. LOL<br /><br />And I now have some inspiration for a couple of new items to add to the shop.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-39578872704986628372010-11-16T14:41:00.003-06:002010-11-16T14:54:49.971-06:00It has been a whileThe last time I posted anything was back in June so that is just crazy. <br /><br />I did good while the baby was little but now that she is definately mobile it has become much harder. <br /><br />I wanted to get on here and let you all know about our Holiday sale, it started yesterday and ends Nov 25.

It was a bust but I had fun. We were there from 8-3 and it rained 60% of the time. They are supposed to try to do it again in a few weeks. Learned several things from this though. Since it rained we bought some sides for our pop up canopy, so everything doesnt get wet again. And we learned our tables we dont like. LOL. So now we are going to go get some better folding tables, and hoping to do a few more craft shows here soon, just going to keep learning as we go. Hopefully next time it wont be raining as much and we will have a better experience. We did manage to sell 2 items in the rain. Tons of fun, my 6 month old loved it, my 5 year old not sooo much so we took him over to my moms house.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-90816417243694951152010-04-16T09:53:00.003-05:002010-04-16T09:57:47.198-05:00This allergy seasonI am sure everyone is paying for it, physically or mentally. LOL. This allergy season is killing me, and my kids. Me and my son both have asthma and now my 5 month old is being tortured by it all. I have spent the last 3 days watching her cough so hard she is throwing up, was hoping it would go away, lol, tried the humidifier and the cool mist humidifier but neither has helped. All she can do is toss and turn while trying to sleep, and all I can do is sit her and watch her be miserable. Well I broke down today to take her in to the doctor. I also had to get an appointment for my son because he is out of asthma meds and although he went in Feb to see the doctor she wants to see him again to write him a refill, I would be mad but both of them are on medicaid, if I had to pay out of pocket I might try to break someones leg. <br /><br />Well all of you that are also suffering from allergies, I wish you some relief soon.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-39329324946101476122010-04-01T10:37:00.006-05:002010-04-01T10:45:35.836-05:00All sorts of custom itemsAlright, I have been busy making all sorts of new/custom items.

We went last night to Lowes and Home Depot. You know how they have those carts that look like cars, well Juleen was determined to sit in one, so I strapped her in with Davin and they did so well, she sat up the entire time, he helped her learn to turn her steering wheel, cute.<br /><br />Get to the next store again in the basket they go. This time Juleen gets mad because Davin wont let her have both wheels, literally had a tantrum because he told her she could only have her wheel. Never occurred to me that she would do that, She is only 5 months. Cute again, the only thing that would have made this story even more cute would be a pic of the two of them, mommy didnt have sense enough for that.Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-46420568213001212010-03-30T07:53:00.002-05:002010-03-30T07:56:37.121-05:00Cutest little pendant ever!!!!!OK mamaslittlemonkeys has been one of my favorite shops for a while now, but I got to browsing and found this in her shop and I am just in absolute love<br /><br />http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41152311<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4o32Hhz9ldjR7TYJzN-OGg630IIJK5B6_tGHjbJIdhQ9qkDMoePi3UvirMNiIzH64_gVW3FusC46nJSL63I2ETgtx_0JAoUYaFx-h3p2CMMhkYOeAJV2cQgMB16hKBGu-SwLppSB1ods/s1600/owl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4o32Hhz9ldjR7TYJzN-OGg630IIJK5B6_tGHjbJIdhQ9qkDMoePi3UvirMNiIzH64_gVW3FusC46nJSL63I2ETgtx_0JAoUYaFx-h3p2CMMhkYOeAJV2cQgMB16hKBGu-SwLppSB1ods/s320/owl.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454409767672023314" /></a>Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-68218773716621930712010-03-27T12:31:00.003-05:002010-03-27T12:33:08.176-05:00beautiful blue earrings<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtyF8Y8wucLLcwRmP9GhBWAhldkIOTpJpEn5dm4151YI9lCCPOqMeHQG5h35xhXHIOr8jC-pgbZGMw6gb0_pNVU9p8Y7Nm9hBxvYqL7Uyq1ldXMKfGV0uqwPZDnht6rnnINhfQdIZyGw/s1600/earrings.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 311px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZtyF8Y8wucLLcwRmP9GhBWAhldkIOTpJpEn5dm4151YI9lCCPOqMeHQG5h35xhXHIOr8jC-pgbZGMw6gb0_pNVU9p8Y7Nm9hBxvYqL7Uyq1ldXMKfGV0uqwPZDnht6rnnINhfQdIZyGw/s320/earrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453367777583849362" /></a><br />These are some really beautiful blue earrings<br />http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39789132Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861749038644465619.post-69488018385086737112010-03-26T17:08:00.001-05:002010-03-26T17:10:37.835-05:00Beautiful baby braceletJust found another awesome item, this time for baby.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivBGQxM-nRHFuemh6mnm-vYzW8Lb8hOXDAsviGxAyHgoszvbUIEI9A5XAlgSeDwB3-fIr6eP4UbygPj9zmg87Wi8VT2y_B9mCygm9MmTqDNSeAXpysKRRF9zv3cjPjJQ_Cj-2CXMSK_Q/s1600/baby.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiivBGQxM-nRHFuemh6mnm-vYzW8Lb8hOXDAsviGxAyHgoszvbUIEI9A5XAlgSeDwB3-fIr6eP4UbygPj9zmg87Wi8VT2y_B9mCygm9MmTqDNSeAXpysKRRF9zv3cjPjJQ_Cj-2CXMSK_Q/s320/baby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453068136186831074" /></a><br /><br />Here is the link<br />http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=32737113Joniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05326555752719317122noreply@blogger.com0
