Tuesday's Treasure Sale!

Tuesday's Treasure Sale!!

With life the way it is, I have decided that some of my treasures need to find new homes, and to help them on their journey I am going to feature one item each week and put it on SALE on Tuesday!

Today's Featured Item is:

Queen Size Quilt, Purple Pin Wheel Pattern

This beauty is a tri shade lavender Pin Wheel Pattern Queen Sized Quilt. This quilt is brand new and has never been used.

It has a hand pieced, machine sewn top, and is machine quilted.

The backing is solid white, and there is a thin layer of 100% cotton batting between the top and back.

I think this pattern is fun and whimsical, and would make a great addition to your home!

This fabulous quilt would usually sell for $240.00 in my shop, but for THIS WEEK ONLY, it is on sale for $200.00! (standard shipping rate of $18.00 will be added to purchase price, unless you are local and wish to pick it up from me directly! Please message me for this option prior to purchase so I can change the settings!)

This is a one of a kind piece... once it's gone it's gone so don't miss out!!

Go HERE to purchase this great quilt!

Gift Ideas!

Recently I have had some birthday parties sneak up on me and catch me unprepared!

The first one was an 8th birthday for one of Audrey's friends.

I knew about the party, and even what I wanted to make the little girl, but then all of the sudden it was ON me and I wasn't ready!

The sweetheart loves purple, and like dresses and skirts, so I wanted to make her a little skirt. I guess either I don't love purple, or I like it so much I use it all up, because I had a HARD time finding purple fabric in my totes (and when I say my totes, we all know that mean at least 10 HUGE totes, right?) But any who, I can up with these two purple prints and combined them... I think it came out cute!

And what skirt is complete without a matching hair accessory??

Audrey went through my yo yo box and found the center one that she thought looked good with the two prints I was using, then she picked out buttons too! I think she has a good eye for cute things... kinda like her mommy :)

**if you like this combo, watch the Etsy shop, because I made a second set that will be listed in the next few days :)**

The other party was for our neighbor boy... he was turning 3 and I was drawing a complete blank for a three year old boy....

Then I came up with this... a personalized super hero cape!!!

This was super easy to make and SUCH a hit! I think I have a new go to gift for boys!!


Actually, this was so well received that I have orders for two more and I decided to offer it in my Etsy shop HERE!  I am excited to do more of these, it was so much fun!

AND I learned a little secret with this project.....

Wanna know what it was....

I got my Cricut to cut fabric!!

I have been trying and trying to get it to cut fabric, and I FINALLY got it to on this project! So exciting!!!

What are your go to gifts when your children are invited to birthday parties???

Spina Bifida Awareness!!!

I am SO EXCITED to be working with Jamie (another Spina Bifida mom!) to bring this line to reality!! I really hope you enjoy it and are blessed by it!

Each piece that is sold will:

~Bring awareness to Spina Bifida, especially as we wear it and share what these things mean to us in our lives.

~Help support a family with a child with Spina Bifida
(that would be us, the Soares Family!)

~Contribute to the adoption fund of a child in India with Spina Bifida who desperately needs a forever family.

Who wouldn't want to support such great things and people?

~


Each piece will have a HAND STAMPED  plate with either the word "COURAGE" or the word "SPINA BIFIDA" on it. Please make sure you indicate which word you would like when ordering. All silver is 24 gauge Sterling Silver!

For an addition $5.00 a tag with three letters (or so...) can be added to every bracelet. All pictures that have the tags on them are simply to show the tag, no piece has the tag included in the price.

New Hair Pretties

I have been on a creative kick around here!

The kids have been sick, therefore we have been stuck inside, and I needed a project that was easy to set down and pick back up again so.....


 I tried this idea for Pin Wheel Hair Clips...


Aren't they JUST PERFECT for summer???


I think they will be adorable and Audrey has already claimed some as her own!


This fabric combo is Audrey's favorite, the pink has butterflies AND glitter on it, what little girl won't like that?

After I played with these for a while I worked on another order for a local boutique that carries my hair pretties....


But of course I over created (what can I say, I was in a mood!) so some of these will be hitting the Etsy shop soon too! The rest of them can be found at Fairyscape right here in Los Osos!


While I WILL be putting these in the shop soon, if you see anything you would like please leave a comment and I will get back to you ASAP :)

The summer Pin Wheel Clips will be $5.50 + shipping
And the treasures in the basket range from $3.75 to $6.00 (the sets) + shipping

What have you been creating recently???
