I was Tagged

Ok so I was tagged & I'm new to this blog thing so I had no clue what that meant haha!
So here goes the 10 things about me

1. I am 28 years old and a mother of three who married her high school sweetheart.

2. I started sewing at the age of 6 on my Aunt's "My 1st Singer" sewing machine. Sewing is my hobby. I make all my items in my free time.

3. I love Punk Rock & Alternative music

4. I love to be different and I hate stereotypes. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

5. I love tattoos (my left arm is almost covered)

6. I firmly believe that life is what you make it. It's 10% of what happens & 90% of how you react to it.

7. I love to ride my quad at the dunes with my family.

8. I was born in Bountiful Utah and moved to Vegas when I was 11, and have lived here ever since.

9. I am a bookkeeper & own my own business doing books for a few attorneys here in Las Vegas.

10. I...ummmm man this is hard haha... I think that friends and family are the greatest treasures anyone can have.

Whew... I didn't realize how hard it is to write about yourself

ok so now I am going to tag these people:

"Love Tattoo" Diaper Bag/ Large Purse/ Tote




I've had this fabric for awhile just sitting in my closet begging to become something haha! I finally got the urge, and some time, to just sit & sew (These bags take about 2.5 hours to make...whew!)

Anyways, I love this Tattoo Fabric. It's slightly different from the very popular Alexander Henry Tattoo Fabric. If you're anything like me you like to have something awesome that not everyone on your block has. I love to be different & this bag is just that.

It was fun to make & I just keep looking at it :-)

Little Miss Sunshine Booties






This fabric is soo cute but I only had a little piece so I made these booties mostly out of black fabric, but the yellow is such a contrast that it stands out really well. I added little bows to the toes of these booties because I was experimenting with ribbon & I really like how they turned out.

I had just enough of this fabric to make a little dress too so keep your eyes open for thet I will be posting it soon :-)

Dragon Baby Dress & Booties




I have to say Alexander Henry is my FAVE fabric designer!!! I love this fabric so much my mom & I made my king size comforter out of it & 2 other Alexander Henry designs.

Anyways I made these last night & honestly I LOVE the booties. The dragon face just looks awesome on the front of the booties, but I'm not so sure about the dress. I think I should have done the top in black to better contrast with the dragon fabric.

It might like it better after I get pictures of it on my niece. She makes everything look cuter! haha

Traditional Tatto Style Baby Dress & Booties




So I just finished these about an hour ago. I love this fabric!!! My husband & I have a lot of tattoos and our favorite style is the traditional tattoo art. This fabric is exactly that.

I really like how this dress turned out. I tried something new with it that I have never done before which was adding the ribbon and bow around the waistline & I am really happy with how it looks :-)

Check these cute items out in my shop!!!
