So...What's New?

Wow, I've been horrible about keeping up with my blog. So, what's new? Hmm.... Well, I've managed to make over 1500 items in 2011, I have some pretty awesome new purse designs, I revamped my website and I took a little trip to England.


It was a fantastic time and it's been tough getting back to reality but I was missed--my waiting list is already long! I'm so fortunate to have such supportive and loyal fans.

My two new designs (yes, my designs i.e. I did not purchase these patterns from a store but drew them out myself) have already been blatantly copied by other businesses. Didn't take long did it? I'm glad to know that my ideas are so profitable for others. Some days I want to throw in the seam ripper and walk away but then I remember that I absolutely love what I do and no one is going to keep me from it. Recently, I had a friend from Fort Drum write me to order several items made from her husband's ACUs.  Her husband, CW2 Joshua Tillery, was KIA in Iraq on 25 January 2009. He was a battle buddy of my husband's and it will be an honor to make items from his uniforms.  This is why I love what I do. I give people unique items to honor, remember and support their heroes.  Why would I let anyone keep me from doing this?

Well, it's been quite awhile since I last did a give away and since our nation's birthday is coming up very soon I thought it's about time I did another one! Stay tuned.
