Honestly, these are the best colors I’ve seen so many will work beautifully with Circa.  I couldn’t help myself and I hope you will find something that works for you.  Feel free to call upon me for matching to Circa!!!  It won’t be long now folks it’s around the corner. xo

 

 

Sis Boom Family

Brothers and sisters can now have the Sis Boom vibe .  Check out the Hamling’s on this  beautiful spring day and you can be sure mama Jeanne made the most beautiful clothes.  This just excites me so much to see a bowtie and a shirt all from Sis Boom patterns as well as the Marissa and the Vanessa.  Gorgeous family she’s raising and I get to be the beneficiary of Jeanne’s talents.  So thanks Hamlings for this beautiful portrait on facebook so grateful to see you all!  And on top of  all that beauty the Scientific Seamstress has 30% off all Sis Boom patterns so use code TRYSCI call her nutsy!!!!!! That is a great deal!

 

Roses

I can never get enough!!!!  I would fill my house with them.  Real, artificial , dried, give them to me anyway!! So it’s my job to keep them coming.  Thanks for all the Circa Love and for being the best peeps ever!!!  Roses below, something in the future possibly??  Keep all the love coming this way, we feel ya!! We are busy making Circa prototypes so forgive us if we lag at all on the social media piece cause you are all very important to us!!!  Always enjoy dreaming of more roses!

Elf Central

As you know we are getting ready for our annual show coming up Dec. 13, 14,15th that Thursday, Friday, Saturday.  So I just want to say I’m in the speed lane of crafting and enjoying my time immensely in the craft room.  My husband Peter and my assistant Madeline are making it so nice for me so that I ‘m free to create 100′s of items for the show so from October to December I don’t look up hardly.  But as crafters all know something amazingly divine happens when we are in the zone. It’s a magical time and I have so many ideas and those ideas breed new ideas so there is no time to despair.  I hope you all our well I’ve been thinking so much about the Sandy victims and praying for them and trying to do what I can.  Before I leave you I wanted to show you the Vanessa and Bettyann ready to be launched in two short weeks and it’s a very exciting time.  This is one of the last items in our book Happy Home to be done and then all the clothes in the book will be patterns.!!!  Thank you Carla for making this all come to life.  You are the best!

 

Below is Judy /Buchanan version . Thanks Hickity Pickity.  Judy takes custom orders!!!

Vanessa is the adult and Bettyann is the child’s!

 

As for Happy Home I am so grateful to all of you for your likes and reviews on Amazon and I hope you will find exciting things to create. Remember it makes a great gift along with Girls World on special in our shop.  The Canopy and Headboard below are both part of the Happy Home book and can be done so inexpensively.  I hope your juices are flowing and you will be ready to create a space for yourself in the New Year. I am so excited for 2013.

 

Quilting Passion

What you are about to see is brilliance!!  Rachael Daisy has been creating the most beautiful of quilt hexegons and I just had to bring them to your attention. These just get everyone ooohing and ahhing ..they are like little museum pieces.  Each one just will blow you away with the intricacy of design they create on their own. Like Kaleidoscope images you just can’t wait to see come together.  These use quite a bit of vintage Sis Boom which if you are lucky can grab on ebay or Etsy..  Just search Jennifer Paganelli Fabrics.  So go check Rachael out and enjoy the names of the fancy Hexies!! Below Chocolate Coated Rosy Posy!!!  Remember Craftsy has incredible charm packs and design rolls and fatquarters which are great for a project like this.  Not to mention their great prices.

Rachael so glad for the artist in you making me look sooo good..you are a Superstar!!

 

Linda H from Flourishing Palms.. You won!!

Give it up for Linda H!!!!!!  You won the fatquarter raffle!!!!  We are so excited for you.  That was a fun raffle and you will have a ton of fun with that.

Before I let you go there are just a few things to mention here.  Found on twitter wonderful bags made with Girls World Vibe for a colorful rainbow birthday party!!!!  right from the pages of Girls World this tote is just amazingly easy!!  Angela Bowman , She goes by the name Angela B. on her blog is fun loving and gets google +..go figure, I was on there all of ten minutes and got so very perplexed and she was so kind to try and teach me how it works.  When she came over to twitter I was so excited because it’s a language I understand!!  Angela love getting to know you!!  Next up is a dear friend Jacqueline Maxman who is a very special cheerleading kind of gal that I have gotten to know from since my early twitter days.  She is such a lovebug and she floats through all the chaos of her life with such amazing grace!! Read her fabulous blog and check out what she’s done with Crazy Love!! I love these napkins!!!! Be inspired.  Georgia Pape Handy has a wonderful new Christmas Card!!!  The clothing designs by Hickity Pickity inspired a under the sea type of inspiration and all I can add to this beautiful photo is Dreamy!!!  Oh how could I forget Alana Kelly and Yumminess Textiles bringing you the ruffle bottoms!!!
