Apple A-line Ruffle Dress

I finished up the Apple Dress for my Etsy Store !

Instead of buttons I put in metal snaps and adorned with bows. 


Spring Kids Consignment Sale

2x's a year there is a local kids consignment sale !

March and October of every year.  I have been participating for almost 2yrs now. 


I take my daughter's outgrown clothes & toys to sell to buy her new(er) stuff. 

I earn 70% of what I price the items for.  Its alot more work than dumping off at a consignment store, but I make alot more money too so its worth it.  After the sale I can expect to bring home $200-$300 a sale. 

Its now time to start entering my stuff online into their inventory system for the March sale.  Sure March is not even close, but I get started now so I don't have to wait until the last moment to rush to get things done. 

Would love to do a Just Between Friends sale but they only come into the city and can't afford to drive 2hrs round trip to consign.  Wish someone would buy a franchise locally !

Apple A Line Dress



I will be finishing up an A Line Dress in this material in sz 2T tonite or tomorrow.  I've had the fabric for awhile and finally decided it would make a cute toddler dress. 

I've used the same pattern previously and made this spiderweb dress.

John Deere Girly Patchwork Minky Blanket

Feeling creative today on my day off.. I have 3 orders to make, but my minky hasn't arrived yet so I had to work with materials already in my pocession. 

I made this pretty John Deere Patchwork Baby Blanket.. 






I feel as though it needed a ruffle but didn't think about that while I was at walmart earlier today, so I decide to leave the ruffle off. 

This 30x30 blanket is now available in my Esty Store !
