Happy New Year!

Hope you had an exciting new year.  We were invited to a family s'mores party, wich was very fun and then we came home to blow up stuff light off fireworks with the neighbor kids.  It was fun times for all, although FREEZING.  I got my ski coat out for the first time since 1996 - and it still fit - yeehaw!   Anyway, I digress...I was asleep well before midnight - I choose sleep over fun, as I knew the kids would be up plenty early and they didn't disappoint!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a very Merry (I just typed messy on accident, freudian slip?!) Christmas!  We went small scale this year and it was great!  The kids got enough, we got enough and everyone was happy - even the cat (hey, what cat doesn't like catnip?!)  We even let the kids decorate the Christmas tree this year - that was my idea, I was beat by the time the dang tree was up with lights on it.  I thought it was cute that there were no ornaments from the middle to the top!  Anyway they had a blast and were very proud of themselves.

My plan was to make a holiday tutu this year, but I have been having health issues for the past two months and never got around to it.  I guess I will have to save my ideas for next year!

Rush Orders

Oh how I hate love rush orders!  I love to create awesome tutu's for customer's, but sometimes its hard when I get last minute orders.  I had about three of those in the past week and I was a bit stressed out over it!  The stinky thing was, I didn't even get to take pictures of the tutus to share with you all, I just had to ship them out asap.  On one of the orders, I got to the post office at 4:59 p.m.  Whew!!!  I know other tutu makers charge extra for rush orders, but I don't.  As long as I can still do rush orders, I will, but at some point I might have to rethink that policy!

Thanksgiving

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We always enjoy eating a bunch of great food, oh yeah, and spending time with the family as well :)!  My husband always participates in a Turkey Bowl he coordinates through his work, so he was gone in the morning, then we went to my family's house for the meal.  We were most thankful that my MIL was able to get out of the hospital on Thanksgiving eve just in time to be able to celebrate with us.  She had been in since the first of November, so we were all very happy (most notably, her!) 

Unfortunately, turkey day colors leave much to be desired when it comes to tutus, so I've got no new Turkey Tutu for you, although it would be kinda funny-brown and orange with a feathery bow :).

It's Boutique Time

I've participated in two boutiques this month and I have one more next month so it has been very, very busy around here!  I sold about 9 tutu's so far and 20 cornbags*!  My best seller was Sassy Pink and people seem to really be enjoying all of the sports tutu's.

I'll be explaining the cornbags further in another post.

Happy Halloween!

Well, I hope you all had a very wonderful Halloween with your family.  We usually go trick-or-treating with our kids in our neighborhood and this year was no different.  My goal this year was to not spend any money on costumes and do everything from stuff we had at home.  Fortunately it worked out with my oldest going as a football fan and my youngest going as a baseball player.  I just used sports clothes we had from home.  It worked great!
