I stole some time this Labor Day weekend to sew for myself!! This is a horrible picture of me (I think I had just gotten puppy nipped), but it shows off my new, super cute Minnie Edmonson Peasant Dress/Top. I stumbled upon Minnie and the wonderful shop she teaches at, Domestic Bliss, while googling my favorite fabric designers. In fact this is how I discovered all my favorite blogs. Unfortunately, Minnie, Domestic Bliss and all the great fabrics are in Mesa, AZ. I am not, but not to fear, they were kind enough to let me order. Check out both of their blogs here and here. They are so much fun, and delicious eye candy. My new obsession is getting to Mesa to actually take one of the classes. My travelin' mister's office is in Phoenix. I might have to tag-a-long on one of his trips (he'll love that. hahaha).
Domestic Bliss carries Heather Bailey, Amy Butler and Jennifer Paganelli among others. You would think I could find these fabrics somewhere in Dallas, but I have had no luck. Just look at this cabinet full!! They also host all kinds of special events check out their Blissful Living blog for a schedule of upcoming festivities. You Arizona girls are so lucky to have these talented, creative people near you.
The fabulous Minnie in one of her darling creations. This looks like such a fun group!!
Thanks, Minnie for putting together my patterns and fabrics. This pattern was so quick and easy, and it fits like a dream. My hubby even likes it! I can't wait to see what you're up to next!!!

Welcome, friends. I am the mother of three very lively children, two english bulldogs, one very spoiled baby chihuahua and one hunting husband in the process of staring his own business. I spend my time designing exquisitly unique handbags and clothing. I am trying to ignore the negative economy as much as possible, so I don't panick over an up-coming college tuition and on-going private school tuition. Join me in my desire to connect with other creative souls that will be inspired by me and me by them! Enjoy and visit often!
