DIY eveything!

Whew.. I have been a busy girl! I love you fall sales! :) It's been great.

Here is what is on my custom orders plate right now:

3 adult Dr Seuss Aprons
1 Skeleton Apron
1 Red adult tutu
1 adult red and black tutu
3 Children's blankets
2 Adult blankets
large towel set

That is just my Orders for October!!

I have a few for November too!

So my time is sooo full!

So all that plus helping my mom with the supplies! We run her Etsy page and a booth at the SwapSmart at 43rd Ave and Thunderbird. That has been pretty fun. It got me 2 of my custom orders up there!

I just finished this custom order.. isn't it cute!





Can't wait to embroider some more stuff!

Kayden has been soooo horribly sick! Isn't that sad! :( Strep throat.. then he had to get 9 shots in 1 day! His poor arm hurts! I got 3 hours of sleep last night with Kayden in my bed. He was up screaming all night!

I know I haven't posted in a while! I'm sorry. I've been busy! Being a rockstar and what now. haha.

I have some new really awesome aprons posted up on my Etsy and website. :) SO make sure you check it out. I got the most amazing Dr Seuss fabric! :)




I have lots of others up there too that are also AMAZING! So CLICK HERE and go check it out! :)

I also posted some Halloween and spooky hair stuff that is amazing... totally bad ass for everyone! :) I of course have more than that up there too! So yea!




I am in the process of making something new and really totally amazing... lip balm! Most people don't know yet! So feel lucky to read this! It;s going to be good. They will all be free of petroleum witch 99% of other lip balms have.. and it's bad for you! It actually dries out your lips! EAW! I do have my 1st batch of them done but I need to get labels on them!

I sre hope everyone remembers to buy handmade! Support your local artists not Wal-Mart and other giant crappy corporations!



Bye for now! Will be back soon this time!

Sorry it's been so long. I have made tons of new stuff I just haven't posted it in here. You can see it all at MY ESTY

But I did participate in the 2nd Saturdays and Sundays too even at SwapSmart. 4255 W Thunderbird Rd. This is the 3rd month I took part in this event. Sadly I did HORRIBLE. I spent more money than I made.


The 1st thing I did was pay to have an ad in a free newspaper in September. It is called Billards Table Talk

So everyone make sure to check your bars hotels whatever in September to see my ad! They print 10,000 copies so lets all REALLY hope that it does well for me. They compete with the New Times.. which all my AZ friend know is super bad ass. Heres to hoping it wasn't a waste of my hard earned money!



I did buy some really cool art though. It was spray painted onto an old record. YAY for upcycling! It was $20 for both of these and they will go perfect in my pool table room! Since I am decorating it Old Hollywood. You can get one or look at the others by clicking HERE!



I have some wholesale packs in the SwapSmart aisle A in the craft mall on consignment so please make sure to stop by! Amazing wholesale prices for everyone!

And I have lots of cool pre-made things at Girlfriends Craft House located at 7163 N. 58th Drive in Historic Glendale. So make sure you go there too! Here is my booth!



And well that is about all for right now. So I will leave you with this picture of the lovely Maddy in a pretty picture wearing one of my pretty $1 flowers!

Oh no! I can't sew! Well at least until Aug 5th when I get my lesson for my new machine. I'm so sad.

My older machine that I have been using isn't working too well right now. I need to take it in a get it serviced!

I got that bad boy in 2000! It's very sad I know. SO I hope my lesson doesn't get canceled again!

On the plus side I got the Etsy supplies shop up and running! :) See it HERE

I'm going to the place that I am taking my lesson at this weekend so I'll make sure they didn't change it again.

I am working on getting flower like this for my shop. Aren't they cute?

Hi! Sorry it's been a while I've been busy! I just wanted to post 2 quick reviews for 2 craft shows I attended.

The first one is Art in the Park. This is located at Wheeler Park in Flagstaff, AZ. I attended this show same as I do every year but I did not have a booth here. This year was a pretty good year! There were lots of new vendors there. I attended the 4th of July weekend there. :)

This show is great! All the vendors are friendly and the work is amazing. There are lots of expensive things there and many reasonable items there as well.


Here are tho goodies I got!
The frame has my son's name in it.. Kayden :) I was excited he had it spelled right! He does custom orders and bigger frames for wedding and ext. You can email him at dkocchi@gmail.com

The bobby pins are cute silver bobby pins.. the same ones I use on my hair accessories! with blow glass on them! There were tons of cool ones there I got these 2 and my mom got 3! :) I love them. They also have earrings and other jewelry there! The website is glennsglass.com but looks like they don't have anything up.

I also got pasta.. I got 4 of them but only pictured 1. I have purchased this pasta before and it is the BEST! You could order some for yourself at http://www.deciopasta.com Decio Pasta is the best! :) mmmmm

I also participated in 2nd Saturdays and Sundays too at SwapSmart! It is the 2nd month they have done this event and the 2nd time I was a part of it.

This show is cool. There is tons of stuff to buy there. There are always normal vendors that have booths set up there with all kinds of things for sale and food.. including Hello Cupcake the BEST cupcakes! :)

When the craft people are there it's fun. Everything is nicely made and totally affordable! The vendors are all nice and it's great to sit by them for 18 hours! :)





I got this rad cigar box purse! I love Marilyn Monroe! I love it! It's so pretty and the best part is the lady who made it.. her name is Norma Jean! :) I don't have a website for her. :( Sorry.

That's all for now guys! Will talk to you soon!

I am addicted to fabric!

Fabric, sheets, pillowcases, `fabric and fabric and fabric!

I can't stop either.. I just keep buying more and more and more. Here is 1 pic... of just cottons... but I have about double what you see it just didn't fit! This is cotton that is 1 yard or more.



I have other shelves full of fleece, flannel, chenille, satin, fake fur, remnants, a huge box of tulle, and a shelf full of random things like knits, terry cloth.. ext.

I know! I just can't stop! I see it on sale so I buy it... I think it's alright. Fabrics get discontinued all the time so I would rather have it than not have it!

Anyways.. last night I went to cut out this pattern I had drawn up for a dress.. it was going to be the prettiest dress you ever saw! I was tired though... so I totally messed up the cut whoops! I'm gonna turn it into a skirt and it will either be the ugliest or coolest skirt you have ever seen!

Kayden is walking! :) It's so amazing! He's getting way too big! His 1st Bday is in a month.... isn't that crazy?!

Well I am off to the thrift store... have to get something to hid the ugly spot of carpet my cats insist they pee on! :(

Well I try and stay busy! Do at least 1 craft thing a day.... still trying to get some sales... gotta start making some money!

I have a few new things up in Etsy.. and I made a few cute things today that I didn't post yet. So I will share them here first!

I am totally into that vintage look right now... if it looks vintage I like it! SO I made some accessory sets! :)
