Lami-Nation!!!!!

That’s right Laminate is sweeping the nation!!  Folks be loving this new product and love the way it sews.  I asked  Melissa P of 100 Billion Stars to show folks what to do with Laminate and she went long!!!!!  As in garment Bag!!  She didn’t stop there she’s even offering this cool design for free!!!  This is one talented lady!!!  We all know that Laminate can be a bit pricey bit remember it’s 54″ wide and that’s quite a bit of goods to do several projects. Melissa also told me to make Laminate last longer line with less expensive fabric.  We are the cheat club!!!  Keeping costs down is our mission when we are in business!!  Thanks Melissa.  I love your surprises!!  This is so uber cool and I am enormously grateful for your amazing ideas.  A book is in this girls future!! I want a signed copy!!!  Ask her questions about using Laminate.  She is a pro and has great ideas for you!!  Painters tape..she’s got the 411!

Sequins and Felt

So here’s what’s shaking at my place.  As you know this is one of my very favorite things to do and I am having a ball with creating some stockings for next year.  Yes all year long I work on handcrafted Christmas.  I have come to a big decision that Sis Boom will only do a show at Christmas and email sales throughout the year so if we have your email you will be notified of sales in Ct.  Life is good, busy, hectic and in order for me to keep pace I’ve decided one big show is better than trying to hand create for two shows.  I hope you’ll join us at Christmas for this big extravaganza!!! I hope your year is off to a great start!!!! I have designed several lines of fabric so be watching for them.  Happy Land is next after Super Fly so be watching!!!! xoxoxoxo

Sweeter than Sweet

oh my gosh how i love to play in my studio..it completes me!  Decorating the place in hopes that everyone gets in the Holiday mood..Things we make here at Sis Boom.

Ok so you are loving the crafts

Lucky for you I have more to share..OK so you know the merit badges in Girls World well they make an incredible ornament..(my idea)..Just sayin..seriously  why not????   Grab the book make copies of Vintage wrapping paper,the cards we got as kids (some of us) or old books or antique ephemera and start having a ball.    Folks been asking try Ebay and Etsy under vintage ephemera!!!! Add tassels and personalize who doesn’t love an ornament specifically crafted towards themselves..No Brainer..I also use bits of old ornaments to create new ones and you can see glittered die cuts and beautiful seambinding ribbon make the world go round.Thanks for all your responses makes me want to give you more and more Sis Boom Love.  Questions??  We answer them.  Girls World is the best Holiday gift going and when you purchase from us you get a signed copy (worth lots of money some day) and we carefully wrap it in a piece of wonderful Sis Boom fabric to get you started making some George the Puppies.  I tell you Amazon for gently used books is quite the price and I can’t compete.  That book if I do say so myself is chocked full.  Get your Holiday on..oh and yes indeedy I am watching.
