tutu cute and co. :: stylishly sweet custom boutique creations ::

happy christmas y'all!

2010-12-04T07:36:00.001-06:00

It’s snuck up on me again.

Already received the first one in the mail!

The traditional family Christmas card, that is :)

Oh yes – since little tutu has come along, I have been on the personalized, photo-mania Christmas card wagon & this year shall be no different!

Is it this big a decision for everyone as it is for me?? I like our card to at least have a hint of our family (you know, besides that ga-jillion pics I’ll put on it) – I like them to be ‘our style’ if you will.

So, I’m branching out of my ‘usual resources’ this year & am heading over to Shutterfly!

And so far… I like what I see!!

I’m LOVING this christmas card & the fab zig-zags (did I mention this is on paper stationery?? LLUUURRVVEEE!) :

I think this card is so adorable, as well! Love those bright colors! This one is on photo paper, too, so it's nice & shiny :)

...and since NEXT year, we’ll be really settled here in the new house – we’re totally going to throw a holiday party (don’t worry, the hubs doesn’t read my blog :) however, I will refer to this particular post when I bust out the ‘but I totally told you last year!’) can’t decide if it will be ugly sweater, cookie swap, or just an excuse to have a shin-dig – but I’m liking this invite none-the-less :

All these possibilities get me so excited to make our family card this year! I've already been over to Shutterfly & pilfered around with some of the cards - adding pics & cropping & editing...
yep, that is officially what i'll be doing this weekend :)
Now if only i could find a card that read 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!'... ahhh - perfection.

{and shutterfly is so awesome, they are giving me 50 free holiday cards just for gushing about how great they are... like that was hard! :) }

monday - november 15th is THE DAY.

2010-11-05T15:26:00.000-05:00

hello?

hello??

is anybody still there???

{insert heavy sigh here}

i feel like the biggest blog slacker EVER.

i blame moving - not the extended stay in manhattan - MOOOVVVVING.

we have entirely too much stuff.

i am thisfar from putting it all out by the road with a sign that says 'FREE!'...

people around these parts really dig that kind of stuff.

pretty sure they'd dub me their Queen.

i digress...

i have SO MANY pics to get caught up on it's ridiculous - but I WILL because you just HAVE to see the cuteness that so many have requested!!! seriously. beyond cuteness. there are some pretty stylin' little ones out there if i do say so myself ;)

which leads me to my next topic - christmas.

oh yes - after i get through NOVEMBER in which we celebrate THANKSGIVING - i will be focusing on christmas - and not a day sooner! ;)

however, MONDAY - NOVEMBER 15TH will be the deadline to get your orders in for christmas! so if you're wanting some sweet tc&c goodies under your tree, please let me know by then!

now - i'm off to see how many more things we can really fit in this place...

if you see a sign on the side of the road that says ~~15 miles to the love shack~~ FREE STUFF! you'll know i've finished unpacking ;)

hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!!

well, it's got blue on it.

2010-10-18T08:00:00.000-05:00

oh yes. i made a panther shirt for a customer. yes, it did almost kill me in the process, but i aim to please - even if it means making things for opposing teams!! HAHA!

* this shirt has a big panther paw prin in blue & white on the back - i couldn't get it to upload properly! *

for those of you not familiar with HS football around my part - the panthers & the eagles are BIG TIME rivals!!

needless to say - i'm an eagle through & through ;) don't get used to seeing too much blue on here - hahah!!!

hope you love it, a.!! ;)

2010-10-17T22:04:00.000-05:00

sweet baby zoey is 3 months old now, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need some goodies!!

i managed to squeeze in a sweet message to her on one of the ribbons on her lovey blankie -

'sweetie loves zoey'

with ruffles, no less ;)

2010-07-12T09:40:00.001-05:00

when my little girl was a baby, i made her several lightweight 'stroller blankets' because she was born in the warmer months and i just couldn't justify putting minky dot on her in the middle of summer!!

i had a request to make one for another 'summer baby' who is due soon & forgot how much i absolutely LOVE them!! needless to say, i have made SEVERAL since i did this order & they are now one of my most favorite things to make!!

and since his nursery is done in a sports theme - had to throw in a 'summer pastime' burpie!

{ habit forming }

2010-03-09T10:24:00.001-06:00

I played Soccer for 3 years while in High School.

I also played a little Softball and dabbled in Basketball, too.

In P.E., remember how they made you 'run the straights & walk the curves'?!

Ugh - I hated those days on the track...

I've never had the desire to run.

Ever.

Even in playing those sports, I some how weaseled my way out of running each time & could count on both hands how many times I ran during games {yay for defense!}

My Mom, Gigi, did a Running Clinic when I was in Jr. High & I can remember going with her, just not being an active participant. She's really gotten into running the past few years & is the most fit she's ever been in her life!

Gigi just completed her first 1/2 Marathon this past Sunday {Woot, Woot!} and the next time she runs it -- she'll have a partner.

Oh yes, I have taken up running.

And, so far, I like it :)

I like it enough that even if I have no one to run with, I get up, put my hot pink running shoes on, grab my iPod & hit the road solo.

I know, I know, for those of you who know me well -- I'll wait while you pick your jaw up off the floor....

and while you get yourself back together from laughing so hard...

Running is something I thought I'd never do, much less enjoy - ever.

So with that said, I'm not the fastest runner you've ever seen - not in a long shot, but at least I am enjoying my new habit thus far. And as you see the shirt above with the tortoise & the caption 'don't rush me' -- that's my new motto :)

Any tips, tricks, tunes or fabulous sites for running apparel are welcome :)

I'll be back on schedule for bloggy posts a.s.a.p.!

In that same aspect, I can't wait to catch up on everyone's blogs & learn more about you, too!

2009-12-08T07:45:00.005-06:00

This Custom Pillowcase Dress is not for a little girl, but is actually more of a tunic top for a dear friend of mine!! She had wanted this to wear to the games & we had actually talked about the concept since last year's football season & we finally got around to getting it done - ha!

It is sooo cute with leggings underneath & - since we are now having some colder weather - would be so cute with a shirt underneath, a scarf, a long cardigan, leggings, & some Uggs!!

Isn't it adorable?! The little witches skirt has a layer of tulle on top of it!

Of course, her name on the back of it :)

And here's my Little Piggy with her fabulous Trick-or-Treat bag!

She had a good time, though - we visited the Grandparents & she came home with quite a haul!

If y'all have found my blog via Kelly's Korner - I AM SO GLAD YOU DID!!!

Here's a little about me to get you started:

I asked for my first sewing machine when I was 10 years old {inspired by my Grandmother} and have really grown to LOVE sewing :)
I took to painting in Jr. High & haven't put down a brush since!
I was 'that girl' in school who gave everyone 'homemade gifts' for Birthdays, Christmas, Graduation, etc. It thrills my heart when my friends tell me they still have them :)
I am a SAHM to a wonderful little girl {aka 'Tutu'} who loves to have me make things for her - and at 3 years old, already has plenty of paint & even her own pink sewing machine!
I specialize in custom creations - I update {as time allows} with finished products frequently, so please check back! Also, since everything I make is on an order-by-order basis, no two things are ever truly the same - rest assured you're getting something unique, created just for you!

Please take a minute or two to look around & leave me a comment!! I'd love to hear what you like, what you'd like to see or even what you don't like - I'm not opposed to constructive criticism ;)!

A big 'THANKS!' to Kelly for providing an avenue for others to find such wonderful sites - isn't she just darling?! Mention you found me through Kelly's blog & receive 20% off your order placed now through Sunday, October 18th!!

I L.O.V.E. how this bib turned out!! The ribbons all around are just precious!!
