Happy Turkey Day!

Original title, eh? Not so much.

Super busy this week - Trunk Show next Thursday!!! I've been so busy getting everything prepared it's making me crazy! In fact, I shouldn't be blogging at all, I should be SEWING! I see a light at the end of the tunnel, though. Only 2 more CuddlePods to finish (and they're almost done) then I have 5 Fuzzy Wuzzles, 2 Miss Tilly Rose Rompers (one is super duper itty bitty - for a 3 month old!), a Haylee Honeydew top, an Olivia Tea Party dress (super itty bitty also), 1738 headbands, a pair of khaki cropped pants, and a whole bunch of stuff for Scarlett (my thank you presents for Brooke, who is hosting the trunk show). All before next Thursday...that is totally doable, right?

Also in Crazy Daisy news, I'm proud to announce that my stuff can now be found at www.waytutucute.com. You should really check out the site because it offers a wide array of cute things for infants, girls, BOYS, and moms. I know I keep saying it, but I really do hope to add to the boy section soon! Did I ever show you my first Daisy Dudes piece?

Here's Rowan modeling his new Daisy Dudes shirt:


I promise promise promise that some day I will make more of them! I also have begun work on a pattern for cargo cords...if anybody is willing to volunteer as my slave I am happily accepting applications!

Not much to report since I'm not unveiling anything new before the trunk show. Well, that's not completely true. After making some new outfits for the Australian uber order I've decided that some of them are way too cute to never make another one. So I added the Chinese Kids Miss Mamie and the Chinese Kids and China Doll Cuplets to my website as well. I also plan on adding a couple more items but you'll have to wait until after the trunk show before I announce which ones they are. In the meantime, here are pictures of what I've been working on (these are all part of the Australian uber order):

I never got a chance to put these on my model...she protested so much that even the promise of cake didn't sway her.


Yes, world's worst picture. And now she's taken to covering her mouth when she doesn't want her picture taken...








I love the behind pictures of the Miss Mamies! Does that make me a weirdo?


I think she was trying to tell me she was done...




Love this one - didn't think I would!


Love it so much I'm putting another picture up...

Hope everybody has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Trunk Show!!

I'm going to be having my first trunk show! Woo hooo! It'll be held on December 3rd along with another designer, Rachel, the maker of Bumblecovers. Check her out! www.bumblecover.com
It'll be a night of cocktails, cookies and couture!

Needless to say, I've been over the top busy trying to get ready for that...I want to make sure I have a large selection for people to see. There are so many of my designs that I feel need to be seen in person to appreciate. This is my chance and I don't want to blow it!

Last week was one of "those" weeks. I not only had to finish the uber order, but I also got a mini uber order from Indonesia and I was all set...I had everything cut out and ready to sew...and then...my serger BROKE! I literally screamed bloody murder and nearly started bawling my eyes out. So I tried to calm myself down by telling myself I would just order the part I need and get on with everything. Well...I called the company to get another part (which is a discontinued model and all parts shipped from Sweden) only to find that it will take TEN WEEKS to come in! I had only just finished screaming (again) when my phone rang...turns out my darling teenage son got into trouble on the school bus and was being suspended from school for 3 days.

Well, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade (I actually used that term in front of my daughter who informed me that all I had to do was squeeze them...duh) and I did something completely irresponsible but necessary. I bought a brand spanking new serger! Yes, I made my son wait in the truck with the girls for a solid hour while I carefully decided on which serger to buy. :D Now, when the part comes in for the other serger, I will have two sergers and will never have to scream again! Well, I know I will, but it won't be for that!

I'm not going to be unveiling anything new that will be at the party, but I will show you this. It's probably my only "real" Christmas piece for the season (I know, I'm lame, but I'm BUSY!). I still haven't even decided what I'm going to do for my own girls this Christmas! Nothing seems quite right, but picture time is coming so I'd better get a move on it, huh?




She was so cute in that outfit - she pranced around like a little reindeer!

Also still working on a large order (the one with the 8 Miss Mamies!). I finally convinced my little model to pose for a few pictures. I still have more to make and even more to photo, but this will do for now!
