In the meantime I have placed a ribbon order to finish the parts for the pettiskirts!  Those are on my “to do” list this week!  Hoping to do the Flea Market in two weeks!  I’ve got some more organinzing to do tonight and then back to work later!  Tomorrow I have a few errands and then I’m sticking myself in my workspace for the duration!  Thanks so much for following my blog!  I would love to hear from more fans!  Also email me at absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com for all your ordering needs!  Thank you!

I just updated a ton of pics as well as added several more product pages such as one for the Minky oufits and the Pettiskirt Pageant wear!  Lots of pictures and lots of color swatches added.  Take a look and browse around and see what you think!  Send me comments and orders to my email absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com   I love hearing from my customers and followers!  Here are a few pics that were added you can see within the pages of my blog!

Busy, busy, busy!  I’ve almost finished the pettiskirt but I have to wait on a shipment of supplies to finish it   Today I’ve picked up a few pieces of fabric for projects I have going on and then home to work!  I’ve gotten the second outfit of the Faraway set almost done. I can’t wait to post the two!  They are so cute!  I’m still taking orders on Valentine day outfits.  Starting orders for summer outfits.  Never too early to order matching sets for those Spring pictures!  Easter outfits!  Plus it’s diaper bag season!  All these long cold winter days make for lots of spring summer diaper bag orders!  Please email me with any questions you may have!  absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com  Please pass my site along as well!  I’ve backed off of eBay now that so many policies have changed and I’m hoping my site and my blog will pick up the slack!

I got all my fabrics washed, dryed and ironed!  Then I got inspired   I sat down and made an entire outfit late into the night!  It’s lovely!  Tomorrow I’m hoping to work on a new pettskirt to use for display and sale!  What do you think?

Faraway A-Line Sets

Well it has been a busy week!  I’ve had all kinds of fun things going on with the kids.  Yesterday Zachary had a chess tournament that he did great in!  I look forward to many more years of watching him enjoy the game.  I’ve also washed yards of fabrics to get started on some new ideas I have!  I can’t wait!  I’ve got tons of beautiful fabrics and I’m ready to get rolling!  I’ll be posting pictures as I go and taking orders along the way!  Don’t forget there is still time to order an outfit for Valentine Day as well!  It is still 3 weeks away!  More than enough time to get some cute outfits made!  Email me for any ordering or questions!  absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com

I went today and stocked up on some new colors of Minky!  I will be doing sets for $45 with a top or a pant in Minky and the other in a coordinating cotton.  I’ll post pics soon of all the colors I can get my hands on   I can’t wait!  I’m so excited!  They are just beautiful fabrics and so soft and comfortable!  I found out I can get Zebra, Tiger, and Giraffe as well as light pink, light blue, light turquioise, dark turquoise, lime, hot pink, black, brown, red, lavendar, purple, blue, celadon green, orange, cream, white, yellow and melon pink…  so… pretty much any color!  I can’t wait to get started with some example outfits! I also have a brand new selection of appliques’ available and will be taking full advantage of those!  Please remember to email me at absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com if you have anything you are interested in!  I can’t wait to start helping more and more people from all over with all their custom needs!

I’ve gotten errands run and some work finished   It’s been a great day!  It’s only going to get better since hubby will be home a little early today!  I’ve still got fabric for Valentine orders so email me asap!  Still trying to decide about the Flea Market this weekend… I would have to take orders and I’m just not sure that would work   What do you guys think?  I always want to leave the Flea Market with stuff in hand   Not sure if anyone would be gratified by placing an order… Just don’t know~  Take a look over all my pages!  I have the Key Fobs, bags, clothes, pettiskirts, etc!  Tons to choose from I’d love to hear from you

I’ve made a few and I’ve got pics but they aren’t the best   I’ll try to get better ones soon.  I’ve got Valentine outfits for boys and for girls!  The boys will look so handsome in the Valentine ties.  The girls in something hearts with soft fabrics and ruffles!  Let me know if you have something in mind!  Here are some pics!  Tell me what you think!  absolutelyhandmade@gmail.com

Well we had a great time with hubby’s family Friday night and then the memorial for his Uncle was fantastic!  Hubby did a great job folding the flag and presenting!  He’s done so many of the military funerals he’s a champ at presentation   He’s at drill today and I’m holding down the fort with the kids!  I’m about to get to work on some more Valentine’s Day outfits and St. Patrick’s day~  May look over some Easter ideas as well!  If I’m going to do the Flea Market next week I need to get on the ball!  Email me with any questions!  Everyone have a fantastic day!

I finally got all the fabric pictures taken and posted on my Facebook page.  Take a look and let me know!  I have some ideas for customs for little girls and little ties for little boys   I’ll work on some examples tonight and tomorrow and try to get pictures up ASAP!  School is out again tomorrow for the negative wind chill (?)  so I’ll be working with a full house again!  I might get something done LOL!  Be sure to check back to see what I can come up with!  I’ve gotten some great ideas!
