90 pounds of fig homemade fig cookies

Thenew challenge rolls out tomorrow and here is my layout for it. Be sure and check it out...it will be a fun one.

not normal

Here lately i have no idea what i am doing or who i am for that matter. I don't know if it is the new medicine they have put me on or what my deal is....i just don't feel myself....i feel very depressed, alone, worthless, you name it i feel it. Why? {shrugs shoulders} this is totally not me. I have never been one for a pity party or one to worry or any other thing. I am a free spirit...i am always laughing, cutting up, cracking jokes....

Now I am different and it is as if it just came overnight. It has to be my new medicine....it has to be....and i am not liking it. Maybe i should go back on my old stuff. That seem to be ok....this stuff makes me not even want to get out of bed. That is not good.....not good at all....

America's Next Top Model

is Ms. Emerson. I know she loves skully's so I whipped up a few things for her so she can be my model for my etsy shop. check out these.








isn't she the cutest.. THANKS EM for being my model. :)

Thank you Lord

My mom's doctor called her yesterday afternoon and said she can sleep well tonight. It was just a "spooky spot" that was shadowing her mammy and it the further tests revealed it is not cancer again!

Sigh of Relief!!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers and sharing your stories.

Love ya'll!! :)

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

If you have been following this blog for a while you know this is the most important cause to me...It is has touched my family hard. My mom and my aunt.

My mom went for her boobie smashing this past week and they saw something that they want to take a closer look at. I am not freaking the hell out just yet. It could be some scar tissue from her last episode. I am thinking positive.

Think Positive.
Think Positive.
Think Positive.

{deep sigh}

Happy Monday!

This is what has consumed my time

Yes i have been busy. this is just a sample of what you will find in my shop. All these were custom orders from local peeps here in town.

"thor, Ethel and Sergio" are on FIYAH!! I still have quite a few of these to make to complete all my orders. Aren't they cute?

Poor Melana she is now feeling neglected because everything i make she wants to know if it is for her ..bless her heart. She only has so much room in her closet though...

so here we go

first the tutu bow holders this one is the XL and the bodice is 12 inches in height. Handpainted MDF 1/2 thick wood. total length of the holder is 34 inches. this will hold LOTS of bows. I offer Medium (8 inch bodice-26 inches total length) Large (10 inche bodice-30 inches total length) and XL. **this was a custome order**

Now on to the clothes:


This particular dress is reversible..polkas on one side and the birds on the other. It closes with the button bows that match either side. It is great because you can take the bows off to wash it.





This is my favorite of the halloween fabric i have. I just love this one for some reason. I need to get to sewing my other halloween fabric too. Before you know it halloween will have come and gone. This particular one is not reversible but could be.




This is one of the xmas fabrics i have.. I will be uploading the other ones i have soon.

These are great because you can put a turtle neck under them or a long sleeve shirt and tights or pants. These can be made as shirts or dresses. Reversible or non reversible.

My mom has been super busy getting ready for a craft fair she makes all the swarovski crystal jewelery you see in my etsy shop. Any outfit can have a made to match hairbow and/or bracelet.






Now you see why i have neglected my poor old blog {sniff sniff} i have more stuff to show but i would be here for days loading so i will load a few at a time :)

To cap this off i leave you with my baby girl in her sassy outfit


I could just squeeze her.

I'll be back soon... *hopefully* :)

Peace out!

Dear Blog

Dear Blog,

I am sorry i have neglected you. I have been really busy sewing for everyone and have not had a chance to give you the proper love you need. :(
I promise as soon as i get caught up i will show you some love.

Be back soon with pics of what has kept me so busy these last few weeks

by the way...raise your hand or comment if any of my peeps still read..LOL

My machine has a name!

So i was thinking and thinking and thinking and hit hit me...DUH!!
my machine is a husqvarna viking...umm hello.... THOR!!

Thor is his name!

HEELLLLLLP!!!

So I have 4 sewing machines….technically one I retired to sew only on paper but she is still in fine shape. Anyway….all my machines have names….

Currently I have

Lucy, Ethel and Sergio….

My poor embroidery machine is feeling left out…

Any suggestions?

Psst!! Ima tell ya a secret

Noel is taking pre orders for her halloween kit.. so far 18 have been spoken for so I suggest if you want it you might want to snag it. I doubt by release day there will be any left. So if you want just email her at noel@noelmignon.com and get it... Just saying ;)

In other news and notes…Mason broke his freaking arm last Tuesday…yep he sure did. Grrr….. so it goes something like this….

He and Melana were pillow fighting and she whacked him one good time he lost his balance and fell on my big area rug and broke his arm… luckily for us and him it is not on a growth plate and he doesn’t have to have surgery…he is however in a cast…and by all means he had to have a “casttoo”. They are really cool but geez stickers are expensive when you say it’s a sticker for a cast….
Only in the Adams house can you pillow fight and break an arm on carpet..

You can check ‘em out if you want at www.casttoos.com


Let’s see what else…ahh very busy sewing… now I understand the whole supply and demand … lol

Be back this week with new scrap stuff, sewing stuff and bow holders...
