Busy, Busy, Busy

2010-12-14T18:16:00.000-08:00

So life has been very busy over the past six months or so, so I am sorry I have not been updating this blog with items, news, etc. I will try and do better going forward in 2011, but for now please check me out on Facebook. I have managed to find time to atleast put pictures on there.

With that said, between now and 2001, I am hitting the sewing machine hard to get Christmas orders complete & in the mail.

Have a great Christmas & Happy New Year everyone!!!

Custom T-Shirt Order

2009-12-22T18:37:00.000-08:00

Last month I was contacted by someone via a "Mommie" website that I belong to and was asked if I would be interested in making some things to go on some T-shirts that she had. Not only did I say "YES" but I was very excited about making them because I really want to be making more clothes and I knew that this would inspire me. She came to my house and left me the shirts (both womens & girls) and a list of things she likes and this is what I came up with to go on them:

RECYCLE (my favorite)

TURTLE

YOGA "WARRIOR"

MUSHROOM (another favorite)

PEACE

BUTTERFLY

CROSS

HORSE/ZEBRA

BUNNY

PRINCESS

More December shipments

2009-12-14T10:10:00.000-08:00

So after a crazy weekend of my sewing machine breaking!!!! I had to go out and purchase a new one (did not have time for mine to be repaired!) so I could get busy with all these orders. But as you can see a bunch were made and shipped. Now I am off to the machine again to complete the rest of the orders that are for Christmas delivery!!!

Beginning of December Shipments

2009-12-08T09:53:00.001-08:00

Just wanted everyone to know that I now have a friend that can do my monogramming for me and could not be more excited.

Here is a apron that I made by special request and was monogrammed by my friend.

Now for my wrap orders that are being mailed out as soon as they are made. I have gotten a little behind due to my towels being out of stock. Due to great family and friends searching all over Memphis, Senatobia & even Little Rock, Maumelle & Conway, I have what I need and all orders will be complete soon that were placed for Hanukah & Christmas delivery.

End of October & Beginning of November Orders Sent Out

2009-11-17T10:33:00.000-08:00

More October Orders Sent Out!!!

2009-10-21T18:41:00.001-07:00

So here are the most recent orders that I have completed. The 8 Pink Wraps were for a Bridal Party in Missouri, the Skull was a custom order for someone to use as a part of a Halloween Costume and also to be able to use on a daily basis. Now I just have a few more orders to go, and I will be just caught up for the month of October and then will be preparing myself for Christmas orders.

"FOR THE DOGS"

2009-10-19T19:41:00.000-07:00

This was very new for me, as I do not have animals myself, but I was asked to make the following creations for "Sassy 'n Spots Doggie Spa & Boutique". The store is set up very cute and has some adorable things to purchase for your animals. If you ever get the chance please stop by and see them. They are located across from Kroger on Ashley Cove here in Olive Branch.

What you see here are the store's towels for grooming, and hooded towels for small dogs (both girl & boy), which is what I made for them to sell at the store. (I know the towel is set up on a "My Little Pony" but like I said, I do not have animals and this was my only way to show how it fits.) Aren't they the cutest towel you have ever seen?

More New Stuff

2009-10-12T18:29:00.000-07:00

I have alot more to put on here but I am having camera problems right now :( so hopefully soon I will get it fixed or get a new one.

Latest Creations

2009-09-09T18:04:00.001-07:00

So the past month have been a little crazy but I am just about caught up on my orders with just about 6 more orders to go. The above are the ones I have worked on and have out to their new owners..... :)

Personalized Tote/Bag

2009-08-13T11:43:00.000-07:00

Here is one of my newest creations, the Personalized Tote/Bag. This tote can be used for anything from Library Books, Daycare Bag, Everyday stuff (calendar, mail, etc.) to Gameday or Overnight Bag. Personally I am using mine to carry my planner, coupons/ads, swimsuit, and a Pull-up (try to potty train my 2 1/2 yr old). They are very durable and lightweight!!!

ALL OF YOU SEC FANS - OR JUST SPORTS FANS FOR THAT MATTER

2009-07-30T12:05:00.000-07:00

It is almost that time again to get your team stuff out. Here is a great way to support your team - a Hooded Towel!!!! Can be used for after the bath or even at the game if you are a little chilly or if you are having a party to watch the game - SHOW OFF YOUR TEAM! They come with no rules attached so use them how you want. They can be purchased on my Etsy site and if you don't see your team - all you have to do is ask and I can probably get your team.

The Wrap Towel

2009-07-30T11:55:00.000-07:00

The wrap towels are becoming a big success on Etsy. The above pics are the ones I have made for Bridesmaids gift so far and have another order in for 8 to get out over the next few weeks.

More boy stuff!!!!

2009-07-30T11:45:00.001-07:00

Above is a shirt that I made for one of my Husbands best friends little boy - it is very whimsical with the Retro Robot head - I will be creating more of these in the future and will be listing themon Etsy FOR SALE.

Here is another boys outfit that I have made. This is a really fun outfit with the large side pocket which is perfect for boys - plus my son loves Firetrucks!!! I will soon be listing these types of outfits on Etsy FOR SALE so please keep a watch if you would like one. Although there will only be a few as to this fabric is no longer in print and very hard to find. I think I have enough fabric for maybe 2 more outfits.

Motorcycle Shirt & Board Shorts

2009-06-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

OK - so the reason I started sewing in the first place was because my son was hard to buy for because he was big for his age. Now, I am finally getting around to making "Boys Outfits", which was my whole goal with "Camela Sky Designs" in the first place and somehow got started on the towels and pushed the outfits behind. Well, not now, this is the first of them with more to come. He just loves his Motorcycle outfit - in fact the first time he wore it, it was for almost 3 days straight!!!

THE WRAP TOWEL

2009-06-01T08:10:00.000-07:00

After initially making the wrap towel with velcro, I decided that I just did not like it due to the snagging that the velcro would do on the wrap and other towels in the laudry if you did not make sure it was closed and if you are like me, you just toss everything in and start it up. So after a little playing around I came up with "SNAPS" - they work great and no more snagging on things. These wraps can be made with the towel & ribbon choices from the side and I can also do a coordinating letter/name in a fabric to match the ribbon.

Hooded Towels

2009-06-01T07:33:00.000-07:00

Here are more of the Hooded Towels - this will show just about all of the material that I have.

BEACH TOWELS

2009-06-01T07:14:00.000-07:00

So here is my latest creation for The Beach Towel. The towels that I use are lightweight and they are 5 ft long. we are already using them at the pool and now there are no more fights over who's towel is who's.

Booth Setup at Olive Branch Mayfest!!!!!!

2009-05-15T22:06:00.000-07:00

So this is how my booth looked all set-up. All in all it was a good day. On Friday night, my Mom and my friend Stacy came over and helped me get some last minute stuff done. Oh yeah and I had to borrow Stacy's "Ole Miss" tent because my new one that my Dad bought for me at Sportsman's Warehouse (which is now out of business) was completed broke and could not be used. So then on Saturday morning, my Mom & Melana came over and we started loading stuff up around 6:45am and headed to our spot at the Olive Branch Mayfest. We had light rain but not much. As the morning went it started to look kinda bad in the sky and got kinda windy but then it turned out to be a very pretty day.

For this to have been the first time to set-up at a Festival, which Olive Branch Mayfest is really not that big, I think it went pretty well. I had 6 sells and have had 3 more orders this week.

Olive Branch Mayfest - Sat, May 9th 9am-3pm

2009-05-04T12:23:00.000-07:00

I will have a booth set up at the Olive Branch MayFest. I am really looking forward to this and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it does not rain!!! So if you are in the area please stop by and show your support.

Time of the Event: 9am -3pm
Admission: FREE!!!!

Here is a link that will tell you more about MayFest in Olive Branch, MS.

I will be taking pictures at the event and will be posting those as soon as I can.

PERSONALIZED HOODED TOWELS

2009-04-29T19:52:00.001-07:00

This is my favorite item that I am making right now, the Hooded Towel. All of my kids have one and they range in age from 2-7 and all love them!!! There is a story on how the Hooded Towel came about. I am the type of person who likes to try and do things differently from everyone else and my girls wanted a Birthday Sleep Over for their birthday party. This meant that I was having 11 girls in my house, which I might add is not very big, and I needed to come up with a "COOL" gift bag for them. The ages of the girls were going to range from 5-9. So my Mother-In-Law had given the kids Hooded Towels months before this and I thought "Why not?", and began coming up with a pattern for them and next thing I knew I was sewing 9 towels for the girls to take home with them. This was a big hit with them all and so I decided to fancy them up going forward and this is what I have come up with. Each Hooded Towel is a Full size Bath towel and a Hand towel for the hood, I have added material to the trim of the hood and customize the towels with either an Initial, Name or Design, which is heat bonded on and then machine stitched to add that extra flare. They also come in a Reusable Mesh bag.

BABY BLANKETS

2009-04-29T19:39:00.000-07:00

So here are the baby blankets that I have made. I do not have these listed on my shop right now but hopefully at the end of the summer I will get some on there. But I can make them on special request until then.
