Oh Megan Loggie is up to great things in her shop Butterfly Betsy. This you are going to love. You get to choose your silouette and then choose the size. All are made to order so you can really have it your way. We love all your creativity Megan and we love that you have developed a made to order site. It’s worth the wait. Megan uses our Happy Land Line to create a host of beautiful merchandise.
I love everything I saw!!!! Thanks Megan for your love of the cloth and your passion to create beautiful items. I love what you did with the green floral.

Circa is coming and the anticipation is building and before you know it you will be making such lovelies as these. I tell you this is a long wait even for me because I want to see your creations. We call this one a two bolter for stores because we know it’s going to fly off the shelves by all the clamor on facebook. It is Circa, it’s kind of all your faves wrapped into one introduction!! So big thanks to the stores online and brick and mortar we are so grateful to you for servicing these good folk!!! My other favorite expression is hoardworthy because we don’t want another Flower Power Fiasco. If you love it, go for it..The other day two yards of Loopy vintage Floral went for $300.00 dollars on ebay!!! Yowsers! So let’s be sensible and go for it now!! Then in 10 years we will all sell it on ebay..Me too!!! Seriously you guys make it so fun and I love to giggle with you cause at the end of the day we all love to have a big stash and the one with the most wins!!! :))))) All my love, Jennifer
By the way the first pillow is a project in our Girls World Book that is sweeping the Nation..(not kidding)

Hi! It’s Madeline! Ok– I am so over the moon with this new CLIP ART! ahh I can’t stop dreaming up ideas to share with our Sis Boom friends!
As you can see, I made more use of our Valentine CLIP ART.. I’m just thinking of Valentine’s Day as a kick off of LOVE! Why do we only profess our love so openly on this one single day?! Let’s keep it going! Even more surprising than a sweet card on February 14th… is a card afterwards just to say, Hey.. I really (still) love you a lot. It’s like a little non-Valentine’s day surprise.
What else can you do with these Clip Art goodies?
- Print on fabric paper (check Amazon for this) & make pillows! Embellish with sequins & more!
- Print on iron transfer paper (check Amazon for this) and embellish an apron, T-shirt, pillow & more!
- banners, cards, cake & cupcake toppers, garlands, announcements & invitations
- paper chains
- collages
- photograph embellishments
- the list goes on! send us your ideas!

Hi everyone- It’s Madeline here to wish you a very happy Valentine’s day!!! Did you shoot out of bed this morning only to realize, “OMG it’s Valentine’s day and I didn’t get my hunnie a single thing!!” Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered! Why don’t you make a sweet card, little banner, touching love note.. something small and special that just says, I LOVE YOU. Don’t stop there!… Send sweet notes to your friends too… broadcast your gratefulness for LOVE on this LOVELY day!
Some ideas for you:
Download Sweet Valentine Ephemera: Print on card stock OR glossy photo paper. Punch out 1″ circles with your paper punch, space circles every 5″ or so, and hot glue circles back to back with a piece of bakery twine between. Swag this sweetness in the doorway and wait for the smiles.
Download Striped Hearts: Print on glossy paper and cut around the hearts. Glue back to back with ribbon between the hears and hang vertically. Make 3 or 4 and fill your doorway with striped hearts! LOVE!
Download V-DAY ephemera: Simple print these vintage valentines out and write a sweet poem on the other side. Doesn’t get better than a good ole fashion love note!
This is what I just made for my special love using the new Sis Boom CLIP ART! HAVE FUN!

With nearly 25″ of snow still surrounding us (yes, it’s true in some parts of CT!), heavy boots, scarves, hats and jackets… it’s difficult to imagine that Summer is really around the corner. We’re actually closer than you think- right? Just smile and nod…
Thanks to our dear friend Judy at Hickity Pickity, Summer is feeling just a wee bit closer and we’re LOVING it. Check out these adorable beach photos. There’s nothing quite like a super chunky zebra print.. on an over the moon, adorable, gal.

Hi everyone!
Madeline speaking! SO pumped to be up in hurr on the blog these past few days. Jen has been uber busy in her craft room. Not sure what she’s up to, but when she comes downstairs she is COVERED in glitter. Hmmm.
So. Let’s talk Circa.. I’ve been dying to see a Circa quilt and kinda of wanted to see one NOW.. I decided to build a virtual quilt, and please… don’t judge… Admitting that the process made me sort of dizzy, and I’m not sure if my scale is anywhere near correct.. but I kinda like it!
Now I wish I had it in front of me so I could wrap myself up and have Sis Boom day dreams! Clearly I don’t have quilting talents– Let me just put it out there– I so admire all of you beautiful, talented quilters who whip of magic every day. Will you accept my virtual quilting capabilities? Please? (Someone say yes)
Happy Sunday ! Be cozy, be warm, be happy!
OK OK.. so maybe I made two quilts.. Pull my leg, why dontcha.. This one was created using what I found to be called the yankee doodle something? Is that right?!

Are all of our local friends getting ready for the BIG WINTER STORM?! How exciting is the thought of getting all cozed up by the fire with a hot cup of tea.. book in hand.. furry friends nearby. Sigh. Love it.
1. CREATE– make a project for yourself – how about #9, our free Frayed Rosettes Pattern? Curtains, anyone? How about an oblong Circa pillow with a deep blue velvet pipe? Get going- how much fun is that?!
2. REST– lean back & put those feet up on these sweet Erin Polka Dot Pillows. Linen & embroidered, these cushy statements are playful and happy.
3. READ– Happy Home is chock full of eye candy. Plan your next project and start gathering the pieces you’ll need. Not in the mood to create something? That’s ok– just flip through and get inspired.
4. SIP– we love this cool Pantone mug, part of a complete set. Now that’s how a designer drinks her tea- always surrounded by color and inspiration.
5. BREATHE– sweeten the air around you with a luxurious Illume candle. Nothing better than floating in your fave scent!
6. LOUNGE– Get cozed up on this grey velvet loveseat. Priced to sell with free delivery, this tufted piece will compliment any Sis Boom pillow.
7. FEEL– the softness beneath your feet… or on your lap.. wherever you set this IKEA fave. Snuggle up while you watch a movie. done & done.
8. TWIRL– did someone say FREE? You heard it right! Our FREE pattern download, Frayed Rosettes, will have you twirling fabric to your heart’s content. Place the rosettes on a pillow, bag, bib necklace, headband, pin, or anything else you can get your hands on! Put a Rosette on it!

Thank you to EVERYONE for the Sis Boom support and LOVE!
This was a fun raffle and we’re so grateful for each and every comment. They were all moving and beautiful. Our randomly selected, and oh-s0-lucky winner is KERRY! We’ll be having another raffle soon so stay tuned, friends!!!!
P.S. if you want to make your own valentine wreath- go for it!! It’s easy and involves glitter– what could be better?! Find an embroidery hoop, or something with a similar shape, punch out some hearts from your fave paper pattern.. and glue them along the embroidery hoop! Add some glitter for pizazz, and, of course, a big bow!
Have FUN & let the glitter fly!
