Never in a million years

did i think when i showed some people my pillowcase dresses and my skirts and britches and bloomers and all that jazz did i expect to be so busy.

It's a good thing. I am loving all the custom orders I am getting.

This was a recent one from a girl at work who's baby girl is turning two.
She wanted a party outfit so that is what she got. This fabric SCREAMS party to me.




I made the flower pin out of the same fabric. And because every girl needs some bling on her birthday i added the glitter 2.

If anyone would like anything you can visit me at www.kidology.etsy.com
I am loading stuff all the time so add me to your favorites :)~

What's everyone up too? You can see what I have been up to and I still have 5 more custom orders to do. Woo HOO!!!

Custom Orders



These were 2 custom orders for Michelle for her 2 princesses. I am currently working on other styles of clothing at this time and cannot wait to get a few pieces done.

I have loaded a few more things in the shop but i still have plenty more sections to get samples done...i need 7 or 8 more hours in a day {deep sigh}

These are some of the bows that were custom made for a few locals as well



Of course when i make sample i have to make them in Melana's size because she wants one of everything i make...as if she doesn't have enough....I have a clothes horse on my hands people and that is not going to be a good thing for mama's wallet.

This was one that she NEEEEEEEEDED...she is such drama and cracks me up daily with it.



I am loading stuff in the shop as I make it. I am going to upload quite a few things this week as well so if you are interested check back. I am working on being a one stop shop. Clothing, accessories, bows, bow holders, things for mom, ect...but only so many hours in the day :(

I am also really excited because i have teamed up with Lucky Kaeru Fabrics so if i don't have the fabric in stock I am confident she will... I love the variety she has to offer.

Well i am off to bed...i just finished a top and i am tired.

See ya in a few days with some scrapage for the new challenge that will be rolling out on monday.

See ya then

*peace love and chicken grease*

Altering things that were yucky

This week I am bringing you some altered items using the 5 foot 2 and eyes of bluekits.
There is only 1 main kit and 8 add on's left so if you want it now is the time to get it.



I made tis for my friends little girl to hold her ribbons and bows on. I know you can't see it but i have ribbon of all colors hanging from the bottom so she can clip them on and off easily. Now only will it be a ribbon holder but a cute piece to hang on her walls in her room for decoration.


This poor little fella here looked really bad before i got a hold of it. Remember those nasty "wood looking" frames but it was wood it was like that nasty contact paper covering it? yeah..well i peeled that mess off, sanded the real wood underneath it a bit and spray painted this baby with a semi gloss black paint (not digging the semi gloss all that much but i didn't realize it would be that glossy..next time i will use satin spray paint) anyway.... i flipped that nasty dingy looking matte over and painted it an olive green. Cut some paper added a few embellishments put it back together minus the glass and now i have a nice piece to hang on my fireplace.

I have 2 canvases i did as well i will upload those later...

but here are 2 pillowcase dresses i did...also for my friend who wanted the bow holder...
she order one that i just finished as well except it is going to be a shirt instead of a dress and paired with some shorts....as soon as i put the finishing touches on it i will upload. that is just a sample of what is coming to my etsy shoppe soon.




If any of my readers are interested in having one made email me at greta.adams@gmail.com.

Happy Sunday!
