Shop talk

It's "Show us what you make/sell" day over at Kelly's blog, so I figured I'd do a quick shop update and link up! I have some new goodies to show you, so let's get to it! (And if you landed over here from over there, then WELCOME! I have an etsy shop where I sell hair accessories, pillow covers, notecards, pennant banners, and Christmas stockings, as well as plenty of houndstooth/crimson goodies for my fellow Tide fans. You can see the items I currently have listed by clicking HERE.)

First off, I'm loving these hair accessories I made out of Matilda Jane garment bags! Each piece of clothing comes in a cute mesh bag, so I figured I'd try my hand at putting them to good use-

I currently have 10 different styles on a variety of hair clips and stretchy headbands. My model prefers the headbands-

 

Football season officially kicks off TOMORROW, so I'd thought I'd do a little collage of Roll Tide goodies I have on hand-

 

 

and a little something for the Auburn fans...

 

 

 Here's a few other items I have on hand (some are listed in the shop and some are custom pieces. If you have questions or would like to place a custom order, you can email me at funnygirl33180(at)aol(dot)com. And yes, I'm one of the last humans on earth to still have an aol account.)

 

Mini flower clips- $3

set of 6 notecards- $5

need an accessory to match a certain outfit? I do custom orders...

 

 The mini-cluster headband (above) also comes in 6 other colors...

I also make custom sashes for parties, showers, graduations, and Thursdays.
This is my seester who will soon be "Mrs. Clark"in the sash I made for her Bachelorette Weekend.

If you have any hair accessory, or sofa accessory, or mantel accessory needs, or perhaps you need monogrammed notecards, or a houndstooth clip for your lapel, then I'm your gal. Feel free to browse my shop & happy Friday!

Roll Tide y'all

The big game is tonight!

Will you be watching?

You know where my loyalty lies, so I just have to share the fact that I came across a poll on one of the sports sites where I grabbed those two pics and guess what it said?

Out of those who have voted so far, 83.6% predict a Bama win!

Roll Tide to that.



I've been sewing my fingers off making houndstooth & crimson goodies!

Pillow covers, head bands, pins, clips, and *new* mini clips

Not all of these items are listed in my shop yet-

If you're local and would like something ASAP, just let me know.

In the meantime, I hope you're having a fabulous Monday!

And I have to throw one more ROLL TIDE out there.

ROLL TIDE.

(okay...two more)

New shop items and a mad dash to a clean house

Happy Monday to you friends! I hope all of you had a lovely weekend! I wish I had taken pictures at the craft fair on Saturday, but alas, I was a wee bit busy. My son, however, took tons so as soon as I go through them, I'll try to post a few. I spent most of last night listing some of what didn't sell in my shop. I still have a ton to list as it takes much longer than one would think. Listing items also means that I spent a few hours yesterday afternoon taking pictures of said items and I wanted to share a few of those-

Houndstooth banners are now back in stock. Tie them up on the mantel when you're cheering on the Tide, or hang them on your tent or RV as you tailgate, or keep it up year round because it's just so very pretty.
(grin)

Fall pennant banners-

One of my new faves-

Christmas Dot pennant banners-

Since I was taking pics of a Christmas banner, I figured I'd better throw some other Christmas decor on the mantel. Totally got me itchin' to get out ALL of my Christmas boxes and go wild, but I didn't. Next weekend maybe...

Also new to the shop- headbands

This one is a lovely shade of mocha with a bronze button in the center.

I'd also like to introduce you to my model, Millie.

She's quite punctual and so cooperative.

Thanks, Millie.

In classic Red-

and in classic Black chiffon.

Ooo la la...

I also made a few wool felt flowers in Red-

and some pins for those of you who yell, "War Eagle" instead of "Roll Tide".

I don't discriminate.

Also picked up a batch of alligator clips and I'm thrilled to say these stay put on a lapel as well as in your hair. The best of both worlds.

And...when I signed in to read my e-mail this morning, AOL threw a picture of Kate Middleton in my face and you'll never GUESS what she was wearing on her black coat-

a red flower pin.

They were all wearing red flower pins.

Classic and gawgeous and available RIGHT HERE in my shop.

Thanks Kate.

And Camilla.

And Lady Feather-hat.

And to get to the second part of my title today, I am super-thrilled to be throwing a baby shower at my house this weekend.

Super-thrilled, but also a little bit in hyper-drive as I took stock of the cleanliness situation at my house over the weekend and must report that things ain't lookin' so great. In classic MK style, I have a list a mile long of what I want to accomplish in the house (i.e.- hanging pictures, installing the last of the trim in the kitchen, etc.) and a list of things to make for the shower itself. For a glimpse at what direction I'll be taking for the shower decor, you can check out my 'Baby Shower' board on Pinterest, HERE. I'm hoping to mark quite a few things off of this mile-long to-do list in the next few days, so I'll keep you posted on how things are a'lookin.

Wish me luck...

I am thankful for a sweet friend who is letting me house vintage suitcases at my house for pictures. I promise to return them :)

 

                                              Congrats Ashley!

And I can't wait to see pics of your sweet babe snuggled inside those vintage suitcases. Almost makes me want to have another one just to do that!

Almost...

 

And if you didn't win but would still like some shop goods, I'll be at Northport Church of God tomorrow from 8:00-3:00 selling a whole lotta stuff that's not listed on etsy yet. I've been sewing like a madwoman all week on things like....

 

flower pins, headbands, and clips

houndstooth stockings

and Christmas buntings.

Everything that comes home with me from the fair will be listed in my shop,

so Ashley, you might wanna wait until after Saturday to pick out some goods since you'll have a lot bigger selection to choose from then. ;o)

I'm off to sew, sew, and then sew some more.

Say that five times fast.

Happy Friday and Happy Veteran's Day to you!



New shop items and a giveaway

Hello friends!

Sorry for my lack of posting as of late...

I'm learning how to re-stock shop items and teach full time and be a mommy full time and a wifey full time and oh bytheby the babe is teething and E and O are both coughy and snotty.

Too much info?

Sorry-

just keeping it real.

So, thank you for hanging with me while I try to sew and wipe snot off my shoulder and attempt to make something edible for my fam to eat.

Hopefully not simultaneously.

That could make for some unsanitary food.

Moving on.

I listed a few new shop items last night that I wanted to share with you here-

Finally just went with the best pictures I could get at 10:00 pm with no natural light, so the stockings are *finally* in the shop-

New flower colors are Melon-

and Mint

New flower pattern is Blue/White stripe-

and I've listed 2 wool felt flowers,

Turquoise-

and Fuschia-

**Please note that, just as it says in each of the flower listings, I can attach these to a headband OR a pin. Either one. Whatever suits your fancy. Whatever floats your boat. Whatever dings your bell. Whatever toots your whistle.**

Perhaps I should have left 'toot' out of it...

***

As to the giveaway portion of the title of this post-

I've noticed that I'm super close to reaching 200 followers on GFC, so as soon as I do, I'll be giving away a $25 shop credit-

Good for evah whatcha want in my shop.

Maybe it will happen this week?

Maybe next?

In the somewhat altered words of Antoine Dodson,

I implore you to,

"Tell ya kids, tell ya wife",

or in this case,

maybe just tell ya friends...

Happy Thursday!
