Are we doing this for every holiday?

We had such fun with the summer pillowcase dresses, but now the weather is turning cold. What is a little girl to do? How about pillowcase dresses or shirts with leggins or tights? Granddaughters are such good models! And they are such good advertisements plus the fact that they are appreciative and VERY CUTE!! Generally, they are happy to perform, but you can see that apparently, one little one is not happy about it at all. Perhaps the pay was not up to her expectations!! The Halloween PC Tops are cute, and we're on to Christmas!!

My Favorite Design

I did a HUGE job for our local Chik-fil-A's 50's Week. Lots of Poodle skirts, but they had cows instead of poodles. Complete with a pocket that said, "Eat more chicken." They asked if I could make poodle skirt aprons. I made, remade and cut and recut until I had the "perfect Poodle Skirt Apron." After I finished all the CFA stuff, I decided to take the apron to a new level. I put a poodle on an PSA (poodle skirt apron), and it looked very cute. However, my mess when I cook is always on the front, I need a bib front apron. So I went "retro" and made a funky bib for my PSA then added "retro Christmas" embroidery designs. It's become my favorite thing I've designed. I begged Bekah to model it for pictures. She agreed if I wouldn't get her face. Don't tell her I accidentally (he he) got her face in one of the pictures!

Since I wrote last, I've had to come up with yet another design for CFA who wanted all three of their Santa's helpers to have different aprons. I like the snowmen because it lengthens out how long you can use the apron. Some folks seem to think a Christmas apron is not very practical! But as one friend pointed out "Christmas comes every year!" So I now have Christmas ornaments in bright colors, a Christmas tree, and the snowmen.

Is this Child Labor?

I've made string backpacks for all the grandson's this year with their names on them. Now that Bryson is being potty trained, mommy has him carry his own extra clothes. He looks very proud of the fact that he carries his own "stuff"!! But my question is: Is this child labor?!!

NOTICEABLY NANCY GIFTS AROUND THE WORLD

Recently one of our coaches was tripping around the world setting up some Special Olympic Gymnastic and Equestrian venues and doing some competitions. She called me to bring over some of my smaller items--she was in a hurry and didn't have time to go out and shop. So off I went to the gym for "shopping made easy." She bought numerous items to take overseas as gifts. Imagine my thrill when I got a note from her saying: "Hi! I gave everybody the horsey bookcovers and the horsey camera cases today & they loved them! I told HRH Princess Lalla Amina that the gift was specially for her...She was thrilled that it had horses on it. So-many thanks." So now there are Noticeably Nancy gifts in Slovakia, Austria and with a princess in Morocco!! How cool is that?!!!!

Royal Baby Bedding

I call this the Royal Baby Bedding --because, well, it just looks "royal" to me. It was more involved than a lot of the other bedding jobs I have done, but the new mommy was very creative with her fabric choices. I think she did a great job, and I think we made a good team. I'm always happy when my clients are happy. A quote from her thank you note read: "Thanks for your hard work on the baby bedding. I LOVE it! You did such a good job. The time, attention, and care you put into it is clear." As I said, I'm always happy if mommy is happy.

Casing The Baby

Am having fun with the pillowcase dresses. We discovered that the little American Girl pillowcase dress fits our new baby Anela perfectly!! Who knew we were actually making dresses for newborns?!

Isn't she cute? Although she looks bored with the entire dress-up process.
