WOOHOO!!!

It's snowing!!! YAY!!!
I love snow when it's real snow you can play in, though can't stand it if it's just falling (unless you're driving through it on the freeway at night time, now that's cool!) Anyway, tonight I'm sure we'll have at least 8 or more inches to build some unimaginable creature with it and post it at the foot of our driveway (Ya know, to freak the neighbors ;) )!!

Other info that may interest you....hmmm.....think pink and green and bunches of ruffles and trims and tulle.....and Candied Apples ;) ....yeah, that's something in creation at the moment. I will finish it tomorrow or over the weekend, but I'm not going to show you any sneak peeks of it until I get the modeled pics in......unless you ask kindly (more like beg) then maybe...just maybe....

A fun spring set will be next on my to do list and something fun with Ariel the Little Mermaid. A 4 piece set more than likely, so better keep checking back
These secrets only pop out once in a awhile (or when I'm bored and forget that's it's a secret....or when I'm too excited not to share) But check back anyway and have fun reading my annoying, talking about nothing posts, which drive you to continue to read on and on hoping for some kind of words that say free or giveaway, or something that says something along the lines of if you post the word hippopatumus on the facebook fan page you might win something....but other than that there's really nothing more interesting to say...but in any case I still got you to read this....
Wasn't that fun!!!!
I thought it was and do you know what would be more funner? Actually having a winner, but we all know that's more than likely not to happen, but who in their right mind would read this long and boring post about nothing at all except about how no one reads it.
Of course I would suspect the winner would prove me wrong and maybe they would win something, but who knows,,,,this is a pretty long paragraph, not many will make it this far, since really, they most likely will just scroll straight down to the pictures and go ohh and ahh or uh, that's ugly, or hmmm, or wow beautiful, or yuck. But we all know people love pictures so here's a few for your delightment and enjoyment.
Have fun browsing and I'll have fun building some creature in the morning if the snow is willing to cooperate and stick together!!!

One long continuous unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic so no one has a chance to interrupt it's really quite hypnotic.

Just thought you'd like to know this fun and twirly and absolutely too cute Valentine's patchwork skirt is on ebay and is really low in price right now and would love for you to check it out and bid because it is the only one of it's kind that is just like it and it is also the last one of its kind and would love to have a good home living with someone you love so feel free to CLICK HERE TO VISIT MY EBAY AUCTION AND GET IN ON THIS GREAT DEAL!!!





In other news, I'm on the hunt for some local models to do a photoshoot...you'd think this wouldn't be so difficult for me but alas it kinda is since this town is really small (and boring, btw) but if you live nearby Dunlap, TN or would like to drive out here to join in that'd be great! Looking for girls around ages 1 to 10ish and a few boys 2-6ish
Email me if you would like to be a part of it... landofjas@yahoo.com

As for some non exciting news, I'll be making some leprechaun clothing on Monday while I'm sitting idle at the kids school group, that is sure to be a conversation starter....lol.
Dang, I wish I had a laptop....

Got my awesome black chiffon in today too and will get those pics for the guitar skirt set made up soon enough, I hope, just depends how much I can get done tomorrow.
Though, I'm thinking these guitar sets would go great at the photoshoot.....ugh, I need to stop thinking and just start doing, doing, doing!!!

Why can't I do graphics?

Oh dear! I thought to myself as I pictures a crazy beautiful amazing logo in my head.... I loved it and now it's stuck there. Yeah I could paint it (on a wall) but on a computer, most likely not...ugh
Maybe if I had time to teach myself I could accomplish such a task, but me? time? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!...man I'm crying myself silly.

I will try and most likely will fail miserably in redoing my logo/blog/templates/etc... I am not a tech html genius, nor do I own a digital program such as Photoshop.... be prepared to laugh (that is if I'm brave enough to show you my feeble attempt, lol).


In other news, I'm on the hunt for some local models to help me out... I have some wonderful models who live far away that I will be sending items out to, but for an upcoming project for spring I will need local around town models...ages 1 and up to about 8-10
I need to go find some willing to take pictures for my new adventure....

Otherwise, I'm working working working!! Minnie set is almost done, Guitar sets are done except for one shirt(ack, and the petticoat, waiting on the mail!), and I have a few orders I need to complete and ship out.
Then a Cinderella set, Ariel, set, Some spring sets, might do an Easter set...maybe...I usually always skip Easter, last year I made a set, but only sold the sample...just a holiday I wish wasn't so ruined by consumerism.... :( Really, all the fluffy bunnies and eggs makes me dizzy.
I feel better just by thinking I will skip Easter sets and just do spring/summer/Disney

As for other useless news.... my leprechaun still needs his clothes made, but I bought his cage the other day ;) now if I could only find a mini lounge chair, a mini goblet for his rum, and maybe an old vintage bunny ears and all tv (gotta give him something to do besides talk to me!) Yeah...he's gonna be great!

Want a sneak peek?......



Oh, and I forgot to post my gardening aprons here.... aren't they cute?!! Cheap too! Email me if interested.. landofjas@yahoo.com

See I told you I would write more!

Finally bought that chiffon I needed, and thankfully prevented myself from buying other fabrics, lol. It was hard, yes it was.
And I'm afraid I deleted a whole bunch of stuff I had favorited and won't be buying it, sorry sellers. Though I do have a select few I kept which I still love and if all goes well and I still love them at the end of the week, I will be getting as well. :)
Fabric shopping is like Christmas

Working today on some things so maybe I'll have new pics to post soon.
But here are some old ones for your viewing pleasure....

More ramblings!

I'm feeling a tad bit creative.... (actually I'm about to explode with creativity!)
Tomorrow is Tuesday which is in fact the first day of my work week, since Monday's are spent at the kid's homeschooling classes....well, actually Sunday would be first..but I don't count that, that's supposed to be a day of rest, right? (Rest?? WTH is that? Do I need that?)

Tomorrow I'm going to start on some new Disney sets and finally cut into some BEAUTIFUL AWESOME fabric I bought about a month ago for a spring set!
And finish up another set that's just patiently waiting on the side. And maybe start another Half of it anyway, since I can't finish it until I order that black chiffon I need to buy (which I still haven't bought, but going to....if I can keep myself from buying the listing next to it). Lol....I told you I have a fabric addiction :)

Anyway, I sketched some pics of what I will be making (unless I change my mind) which include a fun Minnie set, possible a way over-the-top Cinderella princess set. An Ariel set which looks so cute on paper and in my mind, btw! And I really really want to do some Toy Story stuff for gorls and boys, but I'm still working out what I want them to look like.....
Ideas for my Toy Story sets include..... 1) A fun green and blue twirl skirt set with green underskirt...those cute Buzz Lightyear aliens on it. A halter to match, though not sure what to put on it???
Maybe a Woody twirl set with the cow print fabric, maybe the horse and some rope/hat/accessories on the skirt part...but maybe not, idk...
For a boys set, I want it insanely crowded and colorful... not just a few appliques here and there, I'm talking a few pieces of clothing showing out from behind all the appliques, lol. Maybe all Buzz with aliens, rockets, etc., etc., etc......and/or do a complete TS set with Woddy and Buzz on the top, and more characters on the pants/shorts......
Yeah those sound fun..... and luckily I have a model on hand to get me some pics! And most likely he won't want to keep them so I can sell them to you guys for a low price on the sample set ;) ....that is unless he likes them and does wear them...then you're just out of luck until he outgrows them...and assuming they are in resellable condition afterward, you get them for dirt cheap.

Ok enough ramblings about that....how about checking out my listings! That IS fun NOW!!!...
Go HERE for my ETSY LISTINGS (which are cheaper!) ;)
GO HERE for my Ebay listings (which are more expensive because ebay is more expensive...(so expensive I could choke!))

Want some random pics? I do...here ya go....















TTYL!!

OH NO!!!!

Okay, so the title reads...OH NO!!!!
If you're wondering what exactly that means, it's plainly the fact that I went to etsy.com
What's on etsy.com you ask, besides people's handmade junk...well, to put it simply....my addiction....- FABRIC!
So there I am simply looking for the rolls of nylon chiffon I need for a petti skirt. Along with the fact I like to stop by my favorites page to double check nothing was lost (I would freak out!!) since I love to look more than buy ;)
Well, I like to watch, and if I can't stop wanting it after so long I buy it kinda stuff, lol.
Anyway, back to the point. So I clicked on one of my favorited fabric listings to relook, and well, those little boxes on the left that shows what else the seller has showed me something else "neat" and so I went to there, so on and so forth and now I found at least another 5 prints I LOVE!!!! OMG!!!
I just can't seem to keep away from it, lol.
The only reason I haven't bought anything yet is the fact my paypal account only has maybe $15 left in it (which will be spent on shipping labels) So I have no money at the moment to spend on the "coolest fabrics ever" that I discovered today.

Then I had the thought of selling my "no longer that cool to me" fabrics, which in then turn I could buy the ones I LOVE!!!
Even if I sold 10 yards only to buy 5 that would be great!
So who wants fabric?!


I'm going to post pics tomorrow (unless I forget or don't get time to do it)
I need them gone, so they will be CHEAP!!!
Better yet if you like a print and want something made out of it, I can do that too, for CHEAP!!

Example 1- Cute pink flowery fabric $3 a yard or I can make you a twirl skirt out of it for only $10.
Example 2- Blue butterfly fabric $3 a yard or I can make you a peasant top for $10.
Example 3- Sparkly pink Skull fabric $3 a yard or I can make you a(input something here) for really CHEAP!!!
Use your imagination, as mine is already designing stuff for the fabric I don't have yet ;)

A few pics for fun!

Pictures!!

Yay for pictures!!





















Aren't pictures fun?!!!!

New changes!!

Well, I've decided (and don't hold me to this as my mind changes with how I feel, which happens to be constantly) to expand a bit.

First off I need to rework this blog and write more, post more pics, share more stuff that I do, even if I don't plan to sell it. Need a new picture too.....and here comes the "Dang I wish I could make graphics" saying that peals in my head every time I see such cool looking blogs or whatnot. Makes mine look so-so.

Well, anyways.....I'll get to that right after I finish everything else that seems to demand more of my attention, unless I forget or change my mind, or anything else happens that prevents me from doing such.
Of course I'm always making stuff...even if I end up throwing it away (because some things just don't match up compared to the vision I had of them in my high-def mind). My latest recent projects include making a freaky little leprechaun. Yes, a leprechaun, one of those green guys from Ireland that supposedly has gold.
I got this idea of his creation while visiting ChristmasTown at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, VA....blame Ireland Town and all that fancy celtic music (which I love by the way!)
So this leprechaun, the idea is to make it (well, the rest of it since I've already started!)....and sell it on Etsy...though I'm really hoping that it will make it's debut on Regretsy.com ...since it's going to end up as one of those whimsical *uckery's they seem to devour over there. And of course mr. leprechaun (who hasn't recieved his name yet) is anatomically correct ;)
Well, correct enough to get the idea, though the sewing craft was quite messy and unprofessional....so sue me.

So, going to sell that little guy and if not, I can tuck him away in the shed and one day when I have grandchildren, let them find it and tell them a fancy story I will surely hopefully remember by then about when I caught me a leprechaun.....

Really now, enough of my lame ranting, you want to hear about clothing? Right? Working on that too....posting stuff here and there, on etsy, ebay, facebook, and here. Browse around, as I won't post everything I list or made on every page I'm supposedly the operator of....I'm a stay-at-home-mom who works and homeschools...I don't have time for such fun (hahaha yeah right!) copy and paste on all these boards adventures....I'd much rather play bejeweled on facebook and rightfully make sure no one is ever able to think they could ever beat my score ;)

So go look for me everywhere!!!!

As for other projects, I'm planning on doing some room decor as well!!! Which is really exciting to me for some reason!! Can't wait to find something I can work with....that or talk hubby into getting me a scroll saw...which I will buy after income taxes if I can't find a cheap one before then....because I've got stuff to make!!!
One of those things you can't get out of your head until it's complete sorta things.....reminds me of a saying I read off one of Hobby Lobby's weekly newsletter ads a few weeks ago.... (yes, unfortunately I retain imformation off the most craziest sources!)
"Never give up on something you can't go one day without thinking about."....I can't remember who said it, but that was it (or close enough to it). Yeah, that's so me....and that's also why I feel like I'm going crazy, sinceI've got so much going on in my head, yet only so much time in the day to get it out!

hmmmm...want some pics? Let me go find some for your viewing pleasure.....though you know if you are browsing my stuff you will quickly find the link to my photo album HERE<<<<<<<<<<<<<---------------- ... see that wasn't hard LOL!

Go there or on etsy or ebay and buy something....I need to pay for my dog's vet bill...since he so kindly came home with a severed achilles tendon which had to be surgically sewn back together and you all know that's not cheap!
Well, enjoy and sorry if my long boring post was lame....you'll get over it :)
I'll post more stuff soon and enthuse you with more unamusing rants in the near future, along with pictures of some new aprons I've made for kids!!! Which by the way turned out freakin adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait!! Can't wait!!!!
