<br />
So, a funny thing happened last week. I made a leotard for my daughter and posted it to Facebook and it was a big hit. Friends started wanting to place orders for their children. One after another I started taking orders for leos, until 8 days after I made my first leotard I had already sold 22 of them. I am having so much fun making them and I have so many ideas. I told my husband right after I made my first leo that I knew I just started making them a couple of days ago, but my goal was to be the #1 leotard designer in the world. So far, the feedback has been great, and I have many more orders on the way. This is going to include DESIGNING and making a set of leos for a gymnastics team to wear to NATIONALS!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Interesting how this all has transpired, and I think I may have found my niche. I give all glory to God for teaching me these skills, and then placing me in times and places for my talents to be realized. Here are some of my leos I have made and listed in my shop this past week!! Of course modeled by my little gymnast daughters!<br />

I am having fun getting my sewing room set up, and I am working on many many projects. On top of homeschooling and commuting my little ones to various activities, I have been busy making ruffle skirts. My ultimate goal is to have several ready made skirts available to purchase in my store of various prints and patterns, but for now I am fulfilling orders for friends. I have a huge HUGE selection of fabrics that I am making all of the pieces with. Here is what I have come up so far.<br />

Well hello there blog readers. What a year it has been since I last updated this blog!! The last time I wrote was October 2013. Since that time I had a new baby!!! Yes, that is baby #6!! We also packed up our family and moved to CT for six months living in an RV for that time. That was an adventure in itself! Now we are settled into our new location of Virginia Beach for the next year or so. I have JUST set up my sewing room and am getting my shop back in motion.<br />
<br />
During the course of the last year I have been listing a few crochet items here and there, so I will be featuring those on the blog for the next couple of days. Today I am showing the new Rainbow baby star blanket that I am modeling with my new baby boy #6. Someone shared a picture of this pattern and I thought I need to make that now!! Click on the picture and it will take you to the listing in my shop to purchase.<br />
<br />
This can be used as a blanket or worn over a sling and buttoned in the back.<br />

Why not make some things for my house and also list it in my shop for a home decor line. I spoke with some other people on Etsy about it and they thought my shop name "Sweet Home Boutique" lent itself well to the idea of incorporating home decor. So, about 2 weeks ago I started to slowly adding home decor items to my shop. I started with valances and soon added a piano bench cover and curtains. I really like how things are starting to come together in our newish house, and I have so far had a great response with my items on Etsy. I already made my first sale in this new shop section, and will be soon adding more options to spruce up your home with. This will include new fabrics as well as scalloped banners in the print of the valances, table runners and more. What do you think of what I have got started with up to this point?<br />

I am currently in a season where I can't get enough of them! It might have something to do with our area. I have noticed that a lot of women in my circles wear skirts and it is quite modest looking. The most comfortable skirts ever I think are shirred waist skirts pictured below. I have made several the past week, and have plans to make many more. I also really like yoga skirts with a band, so I will be working on them as well as maxi skirts. Here are some new skirts I have made lately, what do you think? They are all available in Sweet Home Boutique!<br />

I have been having a lot of fun staying super busy with my shop. I have created some new designs on my own as well as helped to design custom pieces for my customers special events. One that I am really excited about it my new line of flower girl dresses (below) that I created with a customer for her wedding! I also made a matching mother/daughter set of dresses for a vow renewal ceremony. The neatest thing that I have not done before was to sew in a special piece of jewelry that the bride had on her wedding day. I thought that idea was really neat and very unique! I also made some milestones in my shop this week with making it to 300 sales. I am now at 303, and looking forward to many more customers trusting my artistic hand to their style. My personal goal for the month of September is to have 215 items in my shop. I am currently at 181 items, so I am making my way there. Here are some new items I have added below. To check them out in my shop, click on the pictures.<br />

I was feeling horrible, but decided to go to church anyway because I thought getting out and about would make me feel better. After walking out halfway through service to go warm my chilled skin in the sun outside I decided I needed to go to the ER. At the ER to my surprise they diagnosed me with pneumonia! I never usually get sick, and when I do it's pneumonia! My body does not mess around when it get's sick..ha ha. After spending several days in bed, I eventually got up and started slowly back to sewing up new items. I have so many ideas in store, but here is what I came up with so far. A polka dot dress for women, a red bird dress, Christmas dress, and adorable corduroy shaw jacket for girls! I am really in love with that style and will also be adding it in women's sizes as well. Here you go, tell me what you think?<br />

Fall is coming so I am getting ready. Usually the southern heat makes me very ready for the mild temperatures of fall. Even though I homeschool this time of year bring back so many memories of being a child and starting fresh. It was a new season, and a new school year. The temperature was dropping and the leaves started to die and fall to the ground. I can still smell the aroma of jumping into a huge pile of leaves as a child. Fall inspires me as a time of gathering, hope, and refreshment. So, to get things ready for this wonderful season I added some festive fall fashion to my shop for children. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Besides crafting for my shop I also craft for my day job, homeschooling. We are studying the earth and are going to be doing an experiment with the layers of the earth. The materials called for 3 colors of play dough red, green, and blue. Since our store bought play dough is all mixed together and crusty I pulled out this fabulous <a href="http://musingsfromasahm.com/2012/02/easy-homemade-playdough-recipe/" target="_blank">play dough recipe that I got awhile ago on Pintrest</a>. It is very easy to do and the thing that takes the most time is getting together the supplies. You probably have most supplies already in the house except cream of tarter. Cream of tarter can be found in the spice section at your local grocery store. We also found something to do with our old broken crayons! I had my children take off the wrappers and break them up into little pieces. After that we melted them in little heart shape cookie molds. The result was cool multicolor heart shape crayons. This was also another Pintrest idea! </div>

Things are getting settled here at home again after our trip to Ohio last week. Most of the children in the neighborhood are starting school next week, and I have pretty much started homeschool with my children as well. I gave them each a list of new hats I am making and let them pick which one they wanted to claim for their own (I give them the samples). My 6 year old daughter wanted the unicorn. I finished it today and listed it in my shop. Here is my oldest modeling it for her. She brought her Native American flute with her. Normally I tell them to put their props away for pictures for the shop, but I actually think the flute worked for the unicorn. What do you think?</div>

While traveling back from Ohio we let our children watch the movie Stripes. It is about a zebra in a horse race. I can't say that I was a huge fan of it because the language, but I turned it into a teachable moment when I heard negative words spoken. Like, "Do you think that was a nice thing to say?" etc. So, despite the negative language the zebra proved a likable character, so when I mentioned that I would be making a zebra hat my oldest enthusiastically announced that was the hat she wanted. I think it turned out quite cute, what do you think?<br />

My son 5 agreed to wear the pumpkin hat, and my 3 year old decided a turkey hat was for him. My baby was undecided so I will make him a puppy hat this year. Those hats are in the works so stay tuned for them in upcoming blog posts.<br />
<br />
I did whip up this snazzy aqua and orange granny square blanket for my son as well. I have since added an aqua border which evens things up a bit. I need to update the pictures of it in my shop. I added a new style to my granny squares by crocheting them together in sets of 3. I like this a lot better, and it lays very flat. I think I will be doing this on my granny squares from now on.<br />

Before I opened up I felt inspired to make everyone in my extended family afghans. The nice thing is that I can make gifts for them, and snap some pictures and list it in my shop as well. We just recently took a trip to Ohio from South Carolina with our travel trailer and five cute children. I was the passenger seat warmer and got some of these afghans made and or finished on our trip. I am also making several new hats to add to my shop for the upcoming fall and winter season. This includes elf, zebra, apple, pumpkins, unicorns and more. I am always so grateful for the privilege of selling things on Etsy. Here are some of my new listings!<br />

Can I just say that I love my new neighborhood! We were able to get together today for Memorial Day and let our kids play while the adults got to visit and grill out. It reminds me a bit of get togethers on Little House on the Prairie which to me is pretty awesome!! I am so grateful for all who have served and are currently serving including my hard working Husband who serves in the U.S Navy. His dedication to his job and the uniform makes me so proud to be his wife! So, while my dear husband is away at work serving our country, I stay home and teach my babies and make lots of cool clothes for Sweet Home Boutique. Here is one of my new items, a sweet summer cherry dress available in size XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL in my shop!<br />

I am working on a custom dress right now for one of my sweet neighbors. She is being whisked away to Paris with her husband for the 32nd wedding anniversary. How wonderfully romantic is that? No, I have never been to Paris, but thanks to her my dress will now go! The day she was over at my house getting her measurements taken we were strumming through some cherry prints, and came across the fabric below. She went with another print by Michael Miller in Fruit Basket, but after she left I kept looking at this retro kitchen like print. It kind of reminded me of a grandma tablecloth, and with that I decided I must have it in my shop. After the fabric arrived I could not decide whether to use it for women's clothes or children's. I thought for my personal taste it might be a bit much for a dress, so I sewed it up into a pretty flounce dress. </div>

I also sewed up a red cap sleeve Tee (which to me looks like a modest tank top), and listed it in my shop as well. I am really excited that I can now sew knits with ease and professional seams. I guess that is one advantage of getting older...<u>mad skills</u>...<br />

Anyone can make plain shirts, skirts, and dresses, but to stay with my brand my clothing needs to have some stunning fabric. Yesterday after sewing cutting, and experimenting I came up with this dress.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/150855721/plum-retro-dress-womens-summer-sundress?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnPxxwLRE_F3Y7cbGR79lKCKIgF3i-0w_DM7elivjvLzbA0Z99G_paUbKqq2DoFFkLgP4ge5rh57hsWEPWD9tRi-8zURSRZLZCpJYf6wgYKErpyVHHiZW0atlhUv4wtOSXlRG3d98VvYU/s400/IMG_1435.JPG" width="303" /></a></div>
First I made a light grey cap sleeve top, and then attached a skirt to it with elastic thread.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I didn't think that it looks complete so I attached a matching purple sash that can be tied in the front or the back.<br />

I really really like this super comfortable dress. I had it on for pictures and was going to change out of it so that I could wear it on mothers day, but it was so comfortable I kept it on all day. So what do you think? Would you like to see more dresses like this with interesting fabrics in my shop?</center>

So, where to begin. On the way home from the children's homeschool co-op I decided I would pull off the road and look at this new housing complex. It was a great trip and we were all full of oohhhs and ahhhhs, so I thought I would swing by the office and grab a packet to look at. While going up to the door I was ambushed by some selling agents who wanted to show me some houses, and the kids and I agreed that it would be loads of fun. One step in the new houses door, and we knew we wanted to move. So, here we are about 4 months later settled into our new home with new neighborhood friends, and a garden to boot. In the process of all of the hectic-ness I closed up shop again indefinitely. I found out right before our move that I was also expecting baby blessing number #6 and was over the moon excited. Everything was going great! We had our beautiful new home, baby #6 on the way, close to everything and then I started to bleed. Sure enough at 10 weeks pregnant I found that my baby had passed away. I lived in darkness for about 3 weeks after that, and was really thinking myself in circles over the loss of our baby. I knew I had to do something, anything to get my mind out of the tornado of my miscarriage. I would have tried anything, and all of the sudden the thought came to me to open my shop again. That was the best decision I could have made. I went from crying nearly everyday to lunging my mind full force into my sweet shop. When I opened it up I wanted to hug it. It has been my friend now for over 2 years. I have opened and closed it many times, but every time I come back it is so good to me. My customers are so good to me. In fact, my first week of opening back up was one of my most successful week ever on Etsy. I love Sweet Home Boutique.<br />
<br />
Some things with my shop have changed. Since our move I no longer have our wooden privacy fence that is the background of many of my pictures. We do however have a beautiful neighborhood that I am exploring to find a good place for pictures. We have a nice tan color garage door, that I know lacks creativity, but I thought it created a nice non distracting background for my clothes so my first new items were in front of my garage.<br />

Today I completed our mother/daughter dresses for family pictures next week, so my girls and I grabbed the camera and explored to find a good place for the pictures. We decided that a bridge out in the woods over a creek was a really pretty spot, so this is what we came up with.<br />

I will say I love the green of the woods. I was born in the woods, and my earliest memories of exploring the lush green of the forest and the trees. So every time I am out in the woods I feel like my soul is nourished! So what do you think of the new backgrounds for my clothing? Do you have a favorite one? Do you think I need to keep looking? I look forward to getting more items made and listed in the coming weeks and months.<br />

I am was so excited to be on the front page of Etsy a couple of days ago. My shop views in that day alone were over 4,500, and this is with only 128 items in my shop. I also packed up and shipped out my first wholesale order to Texas this weekend. I can't wait to hear how my things are received in Texas, I think it will do well!</div>

I had January goals for my shop and so far I have met most of them, and there are still 11 days to go. My goals were to have 1000 Facebook fans (done), have 1000 shop admirers (done), make it to 200 sales (I am currently at 195), and get 150 items listed in my shop (I am currently at 130). I am just so excited about all of this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, during the past week while I have not been updating my blog, I listed these garments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is an ivory and damask dress, that I LOVE! I actually bought this fabric to make a belt, and after seeing it I quickly ordered about 6 more yards. I think it is just so gorgeous. I also have this same dress already cut out for girls that I need to sew together. So, I will also be adding this dress in another mother daughter set.</div>

This black and white chevron tunic I made as a custom order for one of my customers. I just loved it so much I decided to put it on a dress form, take pictures, and list it in my shop. It has already proven very popular with selling 2 in the past week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here is another funny story. I was going to make this little girls dress very simply. In my design process I apparently sewed on the the wrong skirt pieces that made the dress to short. I did not want to take it all apart again, so to add length I made a yellow ruffle to place at the bottom. I actually think it turned out way better than my original plan!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With my leftover black chevron I made a classic A-line shirred waist skirt. These skirts are so comfortable and cute!<br />

My husband surprised me with an awesome Christmas present that I am using right now to type this, A Macbook Pro. It is so lightweight and smart, wonderful. I guess that's the reason that they say, once you go Mac.....<br />
<br />
We also packed up our family and traveled over 2000 miles tugging our travel trailer behind us. We made stops in Huntsville, Alabama, Tallahassee Florida, and St. Petersburg Florida. We visited with a lot of family which was awesome because it was the first time that most of them have met my 3 youngest children. My awesome husband drove the entire time so I sat beside him up to my knees in yarn and happily crocheted. I sold several crochet items before I left, so I first made all of those up. I then made 4 crochet animal hats, 2 infinity scarves, 2 pairs of boot cuffs, and started other things. I got some of my new items up in my shop, so here they are...<br />
<br />
Sleepy Owl Hat...<br />

Tomorrow we are going out of town for Christmas, so I wanted to get all of these outfits listed before we leave. We are taking our travel trailor and five children and headed to Alabama and Florida for 8 days. Great times ahead. I will not be bringing my sewing machine, and I already had these patterns cut and ready to sew. So, here they are.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I listed this little black dress in corduroy. Very different than my typical colorful clothing, but I wanted to have some solid pieces in my shop also. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This dress is a bit shorter than I normally make also, but because the dress is so dark I thought it needed to be a bit shorter to look pretty.<br />

My next new items is a chevron yellow, grey, tunic with solid yellow sleeves. I really like the yellow chevron, but did not like it by itself, I thought it needed some different fabrics to make it more interesting, and this is what I cam up with. <br />

And here it my final new listing until January. A classic red chevron dress with a denim belt. I love red, white, and blue together, and I find the red chevron print to be striking. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I finally got around to listing a women's crochet hat! I have tried many styles, and I didn't like any of them. I thought they were either not very flattering or to too juvenile. I found this hat to be a perfect style for a classy woman. Here it is...<br />

I also listed this purple and teal damask print tunic with coordinating lilac pockets. I just like pockets of all kinds, so I try to add them to my clothing here and there. I think I need to start adding some to my children's clothing, though I really don't like it when children stand with their hands in the pockets. <br />

So what do you think of my new hat, and tunic??<br />
<br />
I would also like to add that I am very sorry for the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting. I have two daughters 6&7, and I could not help but think about what the parents are going through. It reminded me, again, that I am glad to home school.<br />

Yesterday I listed another long line peasant tunic. This time I used Joel Dewberry's fabric from his collection "Deer Valley"...I also used a white lace trim on the border with a robin egg blue satin ribbon. I know that top did not need that, but I like playing around with trims. I also like the way that trims add texture to a garment and think it gives it that little handmade charm.</div>

The weather outside is cool, but not cold, and the light in my pictures reflect that. The colors are actually more robin egg blue and a dark red that I think are striking in contrast. </div>

This is my attempt at getting a close up. I have been asked, "what's up with that barn wood background"..I have messed around with different backgrounds, and wood and trees are my favorite backdrops. White backgrounds I feel stunt my creativity in my shop. I want my photo's to breath. <br />

Yes, I am putting my hair up in this photo, and thus did not put it in my listings, but I like the picture of the tunic in the back. It really shows off it's nice A-line shape. Some could call this tunic a dress, and that is fine with me. It is not up to what people do with my products they purchase. I personally would not wear it as a dress, as it's too short for me. I love tunics that go to the upper thigh because in my opinion it makes the backside look smaller and my legs skinnier. I have a thin athletic build. I was a cheerleader in school, so I have the classic cheerleader thighs.<br />

I will add that in the spring, my background will become a nice golden color when our fence is power washed and stained a golden honey color. Question, what do you think of my fence background, and would you wear this tunic?<br />

My shop was doing so amazingly well that I had to actually put it in vacation mode so that I would not get to behind in my orders. My turnaround time on all of my items are 1-2 weeks, and I would like to keep it at that. I still have several orders to get out, but I managed to get 2 more items in my shop this morning. Here they are<br />

And a new princess dress for the little girls. This is my little daughter Naomi modeling. She is wearing a 5t-6t. This is the first time that I am offering girls sizes girls sizes 9-10, and 11-12 along with my regular sizing. I use more fabric for the larger sizes, so there is an additional cost on that. <br />

I talked about the design of this top with my daughters before making it, and they both agreed that they liked an attached belt. I was going to add a grey chevron belt, but I thought it was a bit too much with the chevron base and sleeves.My next girls dress will have one :-) After taking this photo I realized we that we should do these without the undershirt.<br />

<br />
This Saturday was my husbands 29th birthday. He is such a great guy, and does so much for me and our children yet he is always behind the scenes and not really getting acknowledged. SO, this year I decided to do little parties for my children and a BIG party for my husband. I decided the theme of the party should be the super popular mustache. I will say after throwing this party and all of the planning that went into it, I would be happy to never see another mustache in my life. It was fun though and made some fun memories. So, here are the pictures from the bash.<br />
<br />
Here is my handsome husband getting ready to blow out his candles.<br />

My shop was also on fire today as I made 7 sales all throughout the day. At lunchtime I also got out all of my records, and did all of my bookkeeping for August. That was pretty amazing to actually see how much I spend verses revenue. I really feel like God is answering my prayer to become more business minded.<br />
<br />
So, here are my new listings, starting with the Chevron. I was not planning on doing this with this fabric, but as I was prepping all my fabric I had it laying next to some red broadcloth, and thought it was too stunning not to put it together. This is also going to be party shirt for tomorrow night.<br />

Next.....The sailor dress. I am married to a sailor so these types of clothes are always getting put together by me. I just adore this fabric by Michael Miller. The red fabric has little sailboats, and the trim at the bottom has a white nautical rope. I debated on whether this fabric was too childish, but it is too neat not to make something for myself in it. Especially being a sailor wife. <br />

I need to add some more close up photos from my shop of the details on the fabric. It has a very vintage look to that I adore. <br />

The third item I added was a grey and white Chevron skirt. This is how I would actually wear this outfit except I would add black boots, and un tuck the shirt. Possibly button the sweater. <br />

You can tell from this picture that it has two layers. This keeps the skirt from getting too shapeless. It also has 1/2 inch elastic which is new for me to use. I usually use 1/4 inch on everything. I actually very much like the look of 2 inch elastic, and may add some skirts with that soon.<br />
