I received the box today. What a nice surprize when I opened up the box and everything was so neatly, professionaly packaged. It looked so nice I did not want to disturb the pink attached ribbons!!
Thank you so much for making such cute dresses, belts, and hats. Everything turned out wonderful. You made my day!! Thank you.
Now we are full of smiles and relief... An order that big can make anyones day and so far and few so we tend to stress because omg we would love more work like this. So a major congrats to Jorge and now I'll share some fun photos...
We are so honor and greatful for this order - you have opened many doors for us and we can't thank you enough!!

Today is the day we get to open the box and feel/pet and aww's at the fabric Jorge gets to work with. And then it's measuring Trixie's body from head to toe. Trixie's body is nothing like Reese's body at all. Trixie is a classic a 1958 remade in 2007 where Reese is a modern 2009. There is slight difference in the measurements but they bodies are a bit different as far as feel is concerned. Trixie is a rubber while Reese is a plastic feel. Makes a huge difference on how you make the dress.
We love Trixie's hair style and we have decided she is going to photograph very well and we are happy to work with her. We now wish to share day one of Jorge's important contract (lol he says of his life - nah the customer is awesome to work with).
Jorge is making a demo dress first and if it passes then it becomes my job to cut all the dresses patterns (30 of them 10 in each fabric) out and then he can begin his work. We hope he can push 5 a day (remember folks he has RA but that won't knock him down he welcomes the challenge) he says maybe more - of course weather has a huge impact because while he is working on the demo dress it is 101 inside the rig and on cooler days he'll be able to work faster - but we have plenty of time for this order and no need to rush - a rush order is a messy order. This week will be a hot for us so things will be on the slow side but at least I can cut patterns outside and that is half the battle of the work!!
Trixie came to us naked but this is a family blog and so we put a outfit on her...
Demo work first for any customer - it would stink to make a huge order and it is not what the customer wanted.. Jorge loves his customers and treats them right!!
You will have to wait a day or two to see what is next!! Got to keep you coming back don't we?
From time to time people will take the time to email us with suggestions of new items to make or colors to use and such. Well this morning was one of those days. Pink!! Must have more pinks in the stores... Well which is funny because my friend Holly of Mission Montana Blog had order some products from my store and she asked me if I did cozy's for cups? ummm yes once but they where for kids. So I offered to make her some for FREE (after all she's my friend and expert to sizing up things and offered to let me know what she thought). Well I did her package and it's in the mail and with today's email I thought "I've got to make myself my own cozy". I like one of the styles I did for Holly and made the same patterns...
What do you think? I was seeing what they go for on etsy. And almost all of them where going for $10.00 - in which I will sell on there for BUT if anyone orders through my blog I will give it to them for $5.00. I only take paypal for payments. So comment me - email me if you wish to order.
Now Jorge my wonderful husband got in on the act today as well. Going with a pink theme he decided to do an outfit (he would of done more but the winter boss really needed his help - he's out there now making noise with the weed whacker) well 2 outfits but the same material... I so love the tube top stitching. And later today I will put them up for sale.. But what do you think?
Aren't these just so cute... We need to have 75 different outfits done by July 4th - just in time for the Christmas Season. Of course any and all sales are welcomed year-round.
I was reading a blog about YARNBOMBING http://yarnbombing.com/ and it will be part of today's question... I just want to say from my personal feelings - that if this is done for charity and with the permission from the property owner, I support this. But when these individual trespass and do this form of art - they are forgetting one thing - it's no longer art but vandalism.
A happy buyer makes a happy seller. I want you to be a satisfied customer, so please contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Ask a question and you will get an answer :)
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What do you think about YARNBOMBERS?
Would love to hear your comments..
Just a rememinder keep comment clean. We do get a lot of young people that do follow this blog and hateful and disrespectful comments will not be posted. You can have strong views and I welcomed that but don't hurt someone's feelings proving a point... Thanks!!
