Holiday Fair a go go

Yesterday my neighbor hosted a vendor fair at her home here in NC and although we didn't have a crowd every second it was OK because I got to know a few wonderful ladies and had a blast chatting. The gals and I showed our stuff and sold some goodies to a few sweet neighbors and friends that stopped in to support us. Thank you to my friends and neighbors for the support.

I set up early and once the day had started I got all caught up in meeting, greeting, chatting and looking that I did not get any shots of the pretty jewels, Thirty One fun, homemade sugar scrubs or tupperware! Boo sorry gals I'll definitely remember next time ; ). Here are a few pictures of my booth.   Happy Holidays!

Day by Day Mantra

Haven't posted in a while. Today I am working on dresses, aprons and hair bows for an upcoming event in the fall. While sorting through fabrics and organizing notions I was doing a little thinking. I have been committing myself to quite a few things lately and not following through, this does not make me feel good. In realizing this I decided to take a step back and really think about why? Now it isn't like I am busier than the average stay at home mom, in fact it may be the opposite, my kids are good kids they play and cooperate {for the most part} and give me time to do "me" so what is my problem? It is definitely not the idea {I sometimes think I have to many spinning around my head at one time} it is the execution. So how do I fix this? I am going to take some advise from one my favorite presidents Abraham Lincoln "I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end". This will be my new mantra.

Opportunity knocking...

The studio tides are changing! I have recently be offered an awesome opportunity to start a new venture which means my endeavors will be totally streamlined and my focus will change! This should all be happening by the end of the week! I am excited and a little nervous at the same time! I''l tune you in... if I don't get cold feet ; )!

Resolutions and seasons for change

Twinkle Design Studio is an ever changing studio! Now under the umbrella of Twinkle Design Studio™ we have: Dabble Homesewn Goodies™ {homesewn goodies and fabrics galore}, Tangled Noggins™ {crochet and knit goodies}, and Smitten Stationery™  {custom stationery designs for all occasions}.  News just in! This upcoming 2012 I am launching in January  an online gallery and storefront where you can buy an item already made or place an order for a custom made item! Sounds exciting and confusing!! I still have a few details to work out but that is underway. I think this will be a big year! I am even looking around for a little extra help!

hobbies to love

My sewing & blogging over the last 6 months has taken a backseat to a few new and fab hobbies!

{ The first } obsessing over getting my little ones {and myself} settled and adjusted to living in "The Queen City"! Well that is going great, Charlotte NC is a great place to live with great people to meet and be around {I mentioned my awesome neighbors in an earlier post}... We are having so much fun meeting new friends and getting to know people. I still have to chill a little with the NY snarky attitude but I think it is dwindling, only to rear its ugly head when I am stressed and rushing! "Slow down, enjoy" is my new mantra.

{ The second }  my latest love to ... crochet! I have been having a blast whipping up some cute hats, a shawl and other little goodies { in the works: a rose granny square afgan for Ellie's room, turkey hats for the kids for Thanksgiving, Christmas hats, socks, mittens!} Here are a couple examples:
**note the adorable models

Ellie {my sweet baby girl} 

Maddy {our delightful neighbor}

 {The third }  still Pinterest! Sometimes I will just loose time on there. I really am becoming somewhat obsessed with it. I can put everything I want to do, go, eat, try, make and see in one place! I never realized how much I want to do, go, eat, try, make and see! and I keep finding more!
