These pictures do no justice for this gorgeous fabric collection. I am so in love with it. Not to mention, it's fun to sew because it's so bright and cute! Here are a few new pieces that will be in the shop VERY soon (maybe even tonight). As always, everything can be custom ordered in the sizes you need if you don't see them in my shop.

Short Sleeve It's a Hoot Tunic.

It's a Hoot Tied Tank Top.

This can also be made as a dress.

It's a Hoot Summer Dress

There is already a skirt up in the shop with these prints. I can't wait to make a few more pieces with these adorable prints!! Thanks for looking. Hope you're having a good weekend!

Oh.. and for those of you who ordered clips through the Baby Hunter Fundraiser, thank you again and your clips will be in the mail this weekend.

You are my Sunshine.

My only sunshine.
You make me happy, when skies are grey...


I love that song and it makes me think of my
childhood and my Grandpa Arnold. 


The entire time I was sewing 
with these new prints, I couldn't help but sing this song 
(mostly in my head, you know.. to spare my family the pain.). 


Here are the first 2 dresses from this adorable line. 
I'm so excited to share more with you. These pictures aren't the greatest. 

Luckily we'll have prettier pictures soon, taken by the lovely Tammie Halcomb of Tammie Halcomb Photography! 

Hope you love what see!

Fundraiser for Baby Hunter

A bloggy friend of mine, Crystal posted this on her blog. I'm helping her raise funds for Baby Hunter's family... so I wanted to share. She is the sweetest and is dealing with a lot right now, yet helping her best friend out in ways that most of us will never have to help someone out. When she told me about Baby Hunter, I couldn't NOT do something to help this family.... 
Posted from Crystal's blog, DomesticButNotMartha.com:Outreach.. this time for my bff

I can honestly tell you that when I fund raise for someone, my heart is with them all the way, I love you all so very much. I just never thought it would be so close to me that I couldn't manage to pull one together myself. I have no idea why I just can't think straight. I can't sit down and do my paper for college and that's going to get me in major trouble. I'm trying really, really hard. I'm trying not to sound overly dramatic but sometimes I think parts of me are temporarily paralyzed for my bestie. Here are fundraisers that my amazing besties here have pulled together in lieu of my present absentmindedness/can't focus-ness. I am eternally in debt to you all..

Alyson of Eisley Rae is selling her BEAUTIFUL hair clips for $5 each and she's donating 100% to the fund for paying for baby Hunter's arrangements. You can purchase these beauties or pick a custom one from the fabrics found here. There is also an ADORABLE set of girlie pants up! You canTweet, Facebook, & Blog Aly about it if you are interested or buy direct from her Etsy! She will be adding more designs in the next day as well. Become her newest follower and show her some love she's worth it promise <3

Andrea one of my newer but definitely very dear to my heart handmade loveys is working with Cathy of Red Rabbit Studios offering these gorgeous and cozy scarves for only $10!!! She is donating 100% to baby Hunter's fund as well. This is the darling Cathy modeling hers. Andrea can make them in any color so please stop by. Please also follow them and leave some love <3 They both have Twitter (Cathy & Andrea) and if you want to follow on FB just ask them <3

I can't really say how much I appreciate this. And I'm trying my best to find a way to tell you all! I Heart you soooo much and you all never cease to blow my mind. There aren't nicer, more caring people anywhere on the web then my DBNM readers <3 Tysm for praying and thinking of them & me and sending all the loving messages. It makes me tear up every time I read them. I'm sorry I'm quiet my mind is just wandering all over. I'm trying to get back to regular old me asap <3 If you'd like to send a loving, encouraging & positive/uplifting card or care package, etc please let me know <3
