Anyone Still Out There?!

It has been a while since our last post (like a year and a half while : )! Life has just been going on and we took a break while the kids were growing! We are back in full swing and super excited for the new items in the store for Spring/Summer!

We are so happy to be back, busy, and sewing again!! Keep watch for many more things to come. Check out our Etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/poseypocketboutique or find us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Posey-Pocket-Boutique/168481496144?ref=ts where we currently have some great March madness special offers!!!

Ahhhhh....did I mention how good it is to be back!!

Christmas is just days away!!

I'm the worst blogger ever! A lot has happened since the last enty. My girls turned 4, we went to Disney for 3 days, ate entirely too much at Thanksgiving, and we started doing bags and bibs for the store. After the craft show we realized we needed some lower costing items and some things that appealed to boys too. We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary and slowly learning along the way. We'll get it and are enjoying the road!! It's been a huge learning experience and hopefully in the new year, we can up our sales and get our name out there a bit more.

Here are some pictures of our bibs and bags. Check out details of all at http://www.poseypocketboutique.etsy.com/!!

We have a super busy week this week filled with cookie making and gift wrapping!!

Here is a recent pics of the kiddos, now 4 years old!! I'm in shock.

Happy Halloween...well, almost anyway : )

I'm pretty excited about Halloween and the girls are too since I told them I would put a little blush on their cheeks! I'll post pics over the weekend of them all done up. Now that they are almost 4, I'm hoping the big kids' scarey costumes don't scare them as bad this year. We try to get our being out done pretty early and it's usually little princesses or super heros at the time we are out.

My sewing machine officially is not working. I told her (yes, she is my baby) I would take her to the doctor first thing next week, but it might have to wait until January, after Christmas. If we do get any custom orders, it will be trips to my mom's which no one will mind a bit.

The girls' birthday party is about a week away and I haven't even begun to really plan for it. We are going to Disney the day of their birthday and staying 2 nights!!!! We are WAY overdue for a family vaca and we haven't told the kids we are going!! I love huge surprises! We are going to wake everyone up early, pack them in the car, and head to Orlando, all the while still keeping it a secret!!! I'll be sure to post tons of pics of the looks on their faces when they figure it out!

I hope everyone has a very fun, very safe Halloween and I can't wait to see others' post pics of their little ones all dressed up! So much fun!

We're back

Well, we will just say that the craft show was a huge learning experience! I believe we were with the wrong crowd and didn't sell much due to folks not having little ones. But we learned a lot and if we go back to that one next year, we will take much different items!!

Things are getting back to norm somewhat. Halloween is this weekend and then I'm down to one week before the girls' birthday party and still have so much to do for it! Then we are off to Disney for 3 days, 2 nights!! I can't wait for the girls to see the princesses for the first time! They're little expressions will be priceless!!

My oldest niece turns 14 today. Boy time flies. It really was just yesterday that she was the same age as my girls. She is gorgeous and I'm so proud of the young lady she is.

Here is a pic of the craft show...




We also went to the pumpkin patch. Here are a few pics from that! We had a blast. I can't hardly remember the last time I carved pumpkins! I forgot how much fun it is!!

***Sigh of relief***

Well, I got my last piece done with time to spare. All ready for the show Saturday : ) ***great big grin***



The girls are going on their first big camping trip with my parents for the weekend. No mommy or daddy for 2 nights! They are such big girls and I'm still in shock that they are growing as fast as they are. Can't wait to start planning for their birthday party in a few weeks!!! Just got to get through this craft show. One huge thing at a time is all I can handle.



Here is the last dress...





The picture does not do the colors in this dress justice. They are so rich and GORGEOUS!!!

Deep Breaths

So I'm trying to finish up my last pieces for the show Saturday and last week my serger knife went dull. I ordered a new one that didn't fit, had to send it back, then had to order and wait another week for the correct one to arrive. Then Sunday my sewing machine started making really loud noises. I oiled it and yesterday it seemed good to go. Well, the noises are back. I only have 4 pieces to finish up. Please say a little prayer that my machine holds out through the week. I'm taking her into the doc next week but just need her to last through these last few items! PLEASE!! I'M BEGGING!!! Breath, breath, ahhhhh.

Craft Show this Friday!!

I've been pretty busy trying to get ready for our very first craft show but thought I would take a minute to post some things that we will have available. You can also find them at http://www.poseypocketboutique.etsy.com/!! Check us out anytime! You can also find us on Facebook! Become a fan to get discounts and specials!!

Click on the pics below to see an up close shot. You are able to really see alot of the detail in most of the items below.

I made the purple/ivory outfit with pants for the show instead of capris.

This is a sample set, so will look just like this.

Here are some other items that will be there but you can also find in our store!!

In looking at these, I can see how much I really, really want a new camera. I can honestly say the pictures do not do these bright, rich colors and detail justice. On our etsy site, there are much better pictures! Check us out and wish us luck for our first show!!! I'll take lots of pics and post them this weekend!
