I am 10 minutes away from the beach --maybe one of these days I can swing by there! Not today though I have some sewing to do.<br />
Ever since I started making purses I had a lot of requests for zipper closure but I couldn't quite figure out how to do it. I mean a recessed zipper closure where the zipper is a couple of inches down not at the very top like my wristlets. The reason I like the recessed is it retains the purse's shape and it doesn't look funny at the top.<br />
A year or so I go I had a request from a friend for a <a href="http://babycakesboutique.blogspot.com/2007/05/zippered-bag.html">zippered closure tote</a>. It took me forever to figure it out but unfortunately I didn't make any notes! Fast forward a few months back I was back to square one. There are a lot of tutorials online but it is not what I wanted. To cut the story short I finally figured out and confident enough to add it as a closure option on the site. Yeah baby!Here are some custom ones that I made:<br />

<br />
I haven't really added a lot of new bags last year but I am on a roll this month. I especially neglected <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/catalog.php?category=62">Cheinna</a> which is very popular since it is very versatile. An all around bag that can be used as a diaper bag, shopper tote, knitting bag and a school bag.<br />
<br />

</div>Here's another view.<br />
<br />
Also the <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/catalog.php?category=106">Mikha</a> bag needs some more added. This is actually oen of my favorites. I like these size for an evening out.<br />

In Florida 60 degrees is cold but today is an unheard record low of 28 degrees! My <a href="http://babycakesboutique.blogspot.com/2008/02/studio-friday-heart-of-your-studio.html">sewing room</a> was actually a part of our attic that is now connected to my bedroom on the second floor (we had to raise the floor a foot so it is level with my room). I still yet to show the whole <a href="http://babycakesboutique.blogspot.com/2007/01/curtains-for-closet.html">room</a> as only a portion of it is still not decorated/organized to my liking.Even with centralized heating/cooling system the temperature is extreme. In the hot summer months I mostly sew during the night and during the day when it is cold.<p>Okay for the fun part since I have sadly neglected my blog I am giving away one Yvette Gadget Pouch in Ebony and Ivory. Just go to my <a href="http://www.babycakesboutiqueonline.com/">site</a> and tell me your favorite. I will run this until Jan. 16 Saturday and I will announce the lucky winner here.<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aj5P3dg5VhKaqe6Sqlb_Upinb-dBlpzxax22MOvGyb_rLIcnOfSMiPhHIchHtSd3O4RBbBgbWvmkk7S5zLC9ojxU-WbQ-5NbVvmCIJMOgIYvFZZ3aHCTCKz6Qtgtk3OPRcky/s1600-h/ebonyivory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7aj5P3dg5VhKaqe6Sqlb_Upinb-dBlpzxax22MOvGyb_rLIcnOfSMiPhHIchHtSd3O4RBbBgbWvmkk7S5zLC9ojxU-WbQ-5NbVvmCIJMOgIYvFZZ3aHCTCKz6Qtgtk3OPRcky/s320/ebonyivory.jpg" /></a><br />

Everybody on planet earth probably knows about the Twilight Saga books by Stephanie Meyer. Here's my story:<p>Last year my 13-year old daughter was reading Twilight and she could hardly put the book down and every spare time she had was spent reading that book. Then she got excited because the book was going to be a movie. When it was out last November her whole class made such a fuss and went one night to see the movie. Fast forward February I rented the movie from blockbuster and wanted to know what the hype was all about. Then a mom fell in love with the movie! That same day I bought my own blu ray. My daughter persuaded me to read the book (okay-- just this first book as I don't have time to read) and loved it even more. To make the story short I bought all the books and read them in a week. I was in my own little world reading till the wee hours of the morning with my newly bought book light. I don't think I even watched television that week. I probably have reread them 2-3 times since then (I just finished rereading Breaking Dawn last weekend). Ask me anything from the book--you won't be disappointed. Hey give me a break sometimes you miss some important stuff. I have always been like these even as a young kid. I would watch a movie or read a book over and over again--you know the feeling. I didn't even know who Robert Pattinson was but I remember Kristen Stewart as the cute girl from Panic Room. <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZWiMTbMcqkmdcq5_9_JcSsjs9c1QI9thqoYA_a3d5Lf5vV7DilcVWyzwCLzD4P6L8kAHNLtklR97fvgttRi-cl6fD3IWPZPCmiF49CegylEYMyMpwdPiZPfcziv8tE5chyphenhyphenBq/s1600-h/twi1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 321px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyZWiMTbMcqkmdcq5_9_JcSsjs9c1QI9thqoYA_a3d5Lf5vV7DilcVWyzwCLzD4P6L8kAHNLtklR97fvgttRi-cl6fD3IWPZPCmiF49CegylEYMyMpwdPiZPfcziv8tE5chyphenhyphenBq/s400/twi1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348422173301391602" /></a>Need I say more?<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4u7BenjCRkIqd-CQvzIt0sP82lKyyVpryywWSLomaBSlsAn9hvtAxhIop2TlZ8SSN6NQdZxFd8y2f98Q7yRjwSaZuaw4bEwRIUmPz1CdTQNB6fxRWtXFTgcmgvdlUCu5s9HQ8/s1600-h/twi2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 305px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4u7BenjCRkIqd-CQvzIt0sP82lKyyVpryywWSLomaBSlsAn9hvtAxhIop2TlZ8SSN6NQdZxFd8y2f98Q7yRjwSaZuaw4bEwRIUmPz1CdTQNB6fxRWtXFTgcmgvdlUCu5s9HQ8/s400/twi2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348422046971644594" /></a>Of course every Twi Mom should have these too.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkpz-yFnKBnUh8HN0GjC4MCY9671gYHjoqe-ntIPgz5-3CloZR_iZ5dOuv2poIlvEeGOXpyS3z9oRgU-HIXypiJE8xb2hzohmrKoA5xbXWfpaHF6ewsPigkmsSGIvNB7lXzRcG/s1600-h/twi3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 262px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkpz-yFnKBnUh8HN0GjC4MCY9671gYHjoqe-ntIPgz5-3CloZR_iZ5dOuv2poIlvEeGOXpyS3z9oRgU-HIXypiJE8xb2hzohmrKoA5xbXWfpaHF6ewsPigkmsSGIvNB7lXzRcG/s400/twi3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348422038116526914" /></a>We have enjoyed reading the books so much together.<p>There's a lot of twilight blogs out there but these are my faves--<a href="http://twilight-to-breakingdawn.blogspot.com/">Our Twilight Chronicles</a>.

I don't even know what to say--I haven't realized how long it's been since I posted anything. I think this is the longest. I have finished a lot of redecorating though and will share pics with you soon. Anyway, since I have sadly neglected my blog and people really visit it as statistics show (thank you), I am going to redeem myself and do a design your own monogrammed cosmetic bag giveaway or if there's already one made that takes your fancy it's okay too and of course I will monogram it. Check out the cosmetic bags <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/catalog.php?category=110 ">here </a>and the monogram fonts <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/pages/MonogramFonts.php">here</a>. You pick any fabric you see on the site or my fabric collection <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babycakesboutiqueonlinecom/sets/72157600024807978/">here</a>.<p>Just go visit my <a href="http://www.babycakesboutiqueonline.com/">site</a> and tell me which of my designs is your favorite and why. I will run this for a week and I will announce the winner on the 16th in the morning.<p>Last December I was trying to monogram some gifts and my fairly new <a href="http://babycakesboutique.blogspot.com/2008/10/finally-embroidery-machine.html">embroidery machine</a> kept giving me an error message. It kept telling me to rethread and kept beeping. I did everything--change the bobbin, the needle, another thread to no avail. The beeping noise went on and on. Since I won't get the free one year service till June (which is about now) my hands were tied. I didn't use the embroidery feature until about a few weeks ago out of frustration and necessity and voila! It worked. I don't know what happened but I have been monogramming some stuff for my daughter and I nonstop. I was told it might that particular brand of thread or it was just one of those things! In retrospect I think it might have been the bobbin thread. I was using a not so good brand. So I switched and it might cost more money but worth it. There's so much to learn with embroidery--I guess I will learn as I go along and I have a really helpful forum that I can run to.<p>I will be back --promise!!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340166570543919976noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28863554.post-30863449409055485612009-01-20T12:32:00.006-05:002009-01-26T09:56:41.206-05:00The Runaway BunnyI am just loving this weather! Last week was cold--35 degrees! Our bunnies seem to sense the change in weather especially Pumpkin. She's very frisky and wriggled out of my grasp last week as I was taking her out. Since Miko and Bella were already in the cage outside I can't leave it open so she can just sneak in. She just stood there close to the water her fur blown by the howling wind.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-IOBDVqq6Uc8LKumadRprJxvVG_0ulPQBriCXez-UtsDaiWZEl2jjYvIwBppkx3xZLfvx2-lq8xmf9YqcLFKU15jjF22eYuv0mDN8wUYNHLUe4HUXUNlJLtDG824JwVBbdBV/s1600-h/pumpkin1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-IOBDVqq6Uc8LKumadRprJxvVG_0ulPQBriCXez-UtsDaiWZEl2jjYvIwBppkx3xZLfvx2-lq8xmf9YqcLFKU15jjF22eYuv0mDN8wUYNHLUe4HUXUNlJLtDG824JwVBbdBV/s400/pumpkin1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293430914166311506" /></a>She was so close to the water's edge I was holding my breath just in case she slipped!<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMQNPh19mU4UPEDCEPijIaLt7TYq0aSESVTHywO71eg9nirAYycsZdi1mC3tU1Rt0hjMlpG2Db3Vx61riSD1MUcOhkdfDZW-FyJo_hJ8xdaPkkuEtgypbw2nEeVdrwJZDqsDB9/s1600-h/pumpkin3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMQNPh19mU4UPEDCEPijIaLt7TYq0aSESVTHywO71eg9nirAYycsZdi1mC3tU1Rt0hjMlpG2Db3Vx61riSD1MUcOhkdfDZW-FyJo_hJ8xdaPkkuEtgypbw2nEeVdrwJZDqsDB9/s400/pumpkin3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293430916124179970" /></a>Just taking her time sniffing the air.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBupFDNyX-GJGtqV-4dp2-N6x8o3deo_uwWSYZ6dqmEudM8PBFS4aSC0ewM3BNOKROmYScI4034-YhiDC8QVQcM0L-68-evLX0Ap0G_XIqWPcc43sDp3_WiXFEthWxAnDchNi/s1600-h/pupmkin2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBupFDNyX-GJGtqV-4dp2-N6x8o3deo_uwWSYZ6dqmEudM8PBFS4aSC0ewM3BNOKROmYScI4034-YhiDC8QVQcM0L-68-evLX0Ap0G_XIqWPcc43sDp3_WiXFEthWxAnDchNi/s400/pupmkin2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293430919512149234" /></a><p>She must have been just sitting there for a good 15 minutes.

It was a key chain with a pink butterfly and some plastic beads strung together. I thought it was really cute and would make a nice zipper pull. That was my main idea--start adding zipper pulls to my silk wristlets (I still have to add some to my site!!). I wanted some glass beads and maybe some Swarovski crystlals. Before I knew it I had accumulated so much stuff I decided I'll make a couple of earrings and charm bracelets for my daughter and I. The thing with beads is you just can't buy a couple of stones but you have to get a whole strand. To cut the story short one thing led to another and I decided I had spent so much on supplies I might as well start selling them. <p> Photographing them wasn't that easy. The purses are lot easier. I just go in the back and shoot. So I had to buy a small photo tent and some photography lights (an added expense, mind you). Removing the backgrounds was a pain ( I did a couple) but I have been looking online and I have seen that most have backgrounds that had been artistically blurred. I think it is really pretty and requires less time for me to prepare the pics for my site.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyEHNU_atmNMwOLBsDVA6EVnhpSz2EWQ-7sCtkiRpYA_ic3by_q-Y5_JRHkkIHQcXEi_JmWeCmJEeCsknYZP4aMLrqW2IqLyq4VlRqB9jcMgBsGXRQ3n6BIPT0VCnfAfrhacT/s1600-h/unakitacorn2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgyEHNU_atmNMwOLBsDVA6EVnhpSz2EWQ-7sCtkiRpYA_ic3by_q-Y5_JRHkkIHQcXEi_JmWeCmJEeCsknYZP4aMLrqW2IqLyq4VlRqB9jcMgBsGXRQ3n6BIPT0VCnfAfrhacT/s400/unakitacorn2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272612716682195858" /></a>Small acorn earrings with unakite stones.<p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLFAhhAW1snYO1GmKxEEkac0WbkJ2OjIScq_cqyC8YBchU4gs6zAxLxhaFxS0O6ZCDGBXdBAFY8OGVuUGypdiRD1zteyIWwp0gVYBrhdh4eo2a86vCAS7eFp_92y3eddwyuVt/s1600-h/weddingbells2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghLFAhhAW1snYO1GmKxEEkac0WbkJ2OjIScq_cqyC8YBchU4gs6zAxLxhaFxS0O6ZCDGBXdBAFY8OGVuUGypdiRD1zteyIWwp0gVYBrhdh4eo2a86vCAS7eFp_92y3eddwyuVt/s400/weddingbells2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272612716289113298" /></a>Love these frosted lucite flowers I call "wedding bells".<p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWgagMEA0zHSDfHQKJXOFHIbdoKgjCLfU-NywvYc1x7MAvsL9oP-YO6vyd3LJwcwqUyXV4Z5yYia1ysSb9uFqFgHLjr7mUgAiWX6p4g4DAKl-sArQVfTB1TQ0IE_Dppv3kYGDF/s1600-h/purpleearrings.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 348px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWgagMEA0zHSDfHQKJXOFHIbdoKgjCLfU-NywvYc1x7MAvsL9oP-YO6vyd3LJwcwqUyXV4Z5yYia1ysSb9uFqFgHLjr7mUgAiWX6p4g4DAKl-sArQVfTB1TQ0IE_Dppv3kYGDF/s400/purpleearrings.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272612711665191650" /></a>Amethyst Czech fire polished glass beads.

It's been awhile! Well I have finally bought an embroidery machine a, Janome 9500 ( about 2 months ago). I have always wanted one way before I started making purses. Since the closest Janome dealer is 2 hours away I decided to buy it online. I paid it off right away and I am so happy with that. I have been very good with not using my credit cards. My new motto--if you can't afford it, don't buy it!<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0S_2wSfcJTx5Hm4GVU8yBkE-R4SHflfHeXHAa6OtmEhtuQ2jt55-DH42YKyxTxA2hLlI66JFxpr-Z9MvEqwBawCq-qZITnyp5RDBD5vTckHXmCytjxYeHQcejZZhV_GKBK5C/s1600-h/janome2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW0S_2wSfcJTx5Hm4GVU8yBkE-R4SHflfHeXHAa6OtmEhtuQ2jt55-DH42YKyxTxA2hLlI66JFxpr-Z9MvEqwBawCq-qZITnyp5RDBD5vTckHXmCytjxYeHQcejZZhV_GKBK5C/s400/janome2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252575479118001234" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDYqw7jt7CowOQByZB2sTG4gYePmUPbh5yLL5djUo2YYz2NyDih_KdS4ZwZmzuetKepDccIfdPRm9mcxI0NCRzWyzfJyLBhsvv_IE2o88wjNcX8sPaKW9tXe21NtlWhSeAmWz/s1600-h/janome1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnDYqw7jt7CowOQByZB2sTG4gYePmUPbh5yLL5djUo2YYz2NyDih_KdS4ZwZmzuetKepDccIfdPRm9mcxI0NCRzWyzfJyLBhsvv_IE2o88wjNcX8sPaKW9tXe21NtlWhSeAmWz/s400/janome1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252575478657983618" /></a>I was sitting by the kitchen waiting for the UPS guy.

Living in gorgeous Florida is synonymous with tropical storms and hurricanes. We are not in the direct path of Fay but we will experience wind gusts of about 50 mph arriving midnight. I went through Andrew in 1992 and two back to back hurricanes (within 20 days each other) Frances and Jeanne in 2004. I am proud to say I am as prepared as I can ever be. Unfortunately for some they do it when a storm is approaching. I should have known better than to go to the grocery last night. On top of back to school shopping people were doing hurricane shopping and I was in line for half an hour at the check out counter!<p>I have been doing laundry because power failure is expected. In between loads I was trying to finish orders so hopefully they can go out on Wednesday.<p>My daughter is supposed to start school tomorrow. She had everything ready--uniforms pressed, new backpack filled with tons of pens and fancy binders--oh well she got an extra day of summer vacation!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340166570543919976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28863554.post-8690524339771312902008-07-29T22:02:00.003-05:002008-07-30T15:32:50.789-05:00Website Disaster!!!It is 11:00 Pm EST and I just made a big mess of my website! I just want to shrivel and die. I had a new template installed and everything was fine and dandy a few minutes ago and I was trying to put in the Paypal logo and my biggest nightmare just came true. When I do some changes or additions (I haven't for a long time) I usually leave two similar windows open. If I made a mistake I would just go to the first window, update it and it would revert back to the original. This time though my brain wasn't functioning properly and I got confused. I have been working with my web designer most of the day and I guess it got to a point that my brain got fried. I just emailed her and hopefully will get back with me soon. I feel so embarrassed as she had been so helpful and patient with me today. I surely will have a restless night!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340166570543919976noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28863554.post-18088295673848870062008-07-18T10:18:00.011-05:002008-07-18T10:56:09.945-05:00Tadpoles!! Day 1I was pulling out weeds yesterday morning when I noticed some black wiggly things in our water fountain. Upon closer inspection I realized they were tadpoles and lots of them! I didn't notice any eggs in there (they look like tapioca suspended in sticky white froth). My daughter freaked out though--can you imagine how many frogs will there be? It is a treat to me though. We used to have a couple of doves lay eggs in the Spring. They loved one of our orchids pots hanging up front. One time they never came back but the eggs hatched. We had to call animal control so they can remove the poor chicks in there. <p>Anyway back to the tadpoles. In 4th grade we had a large aquarium where we had to observe how the eggs evolve into tadpoles and then to frogs. It was so much fun watching them hatch, see the tadpoles slowly lose their tails to be replaced by legs. We had so much fun. My question is do I leave them alone or put something to feed them? Any feedback would be wonderful. I will keep you posted.<p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNDbwLh9Uql4nRaInI5c-gkMeUCqyD5VpaJtxX7cMye3VtrmlPuNF-zDY7Ljrf9Bc00ZsMLaq0JgHRm4MbOkktR5KWm7wtRbX9NWSGWJN6t6o2aVziQjJ9USsq7l2qDisXG5y/s1600-h/tadpoles-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCNDbwLh9Uql4nRaInI5c-gkMeUCqyD5VpaJtxX7cMye3VtrmlPuNF-zDY7Ljrf9Bc00ZsMLaq0JgHRm4MbOkktR5KWm7wtRbX9NWSGWJN6t6o2aVziQjJ9USsq7l2qDisXG5y/s400/tadpoles-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224374063859593474" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO2OCepaD1cl4tqjnO-txrhjTUm3w3-0kGsOHE5KYWnMAlfz6jMz2C9UULafOKZZif5F_y07_bC31r3J5jJJmDl-ndCSUA0emgH6y7vNjrOpEZT_k2bqV6USSmRj-VgZn_nYem/s1600-h/tadpoles-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO2OCepaD1cl4tqjnO-txrhjTUm3w3-0kGsOHE5KYWnMAlfz6jMz2C9UULafOKZZif5F_y07_bC31r3J5jJJmDl-ndCSUA0emgH6y7vNjrOpEZT_k2bqV6USSmRj-VgZn_nYem/s400/tadpoles-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224374062566740578" /></a>Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340166570543919976noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28863554.post-12174180113339558202008-07-11T08:35:00.000-05:002008-07-18T10:54:15.062-05:00New Fabrics in the House!Hello everyone it's been a long long time!

It is such a beautiful day. We have an unexpected cold front at this time of year. Mid 50s. Yeah! So I went for a walk at about 9:00 and it felt so invigorating. I really have to make time as I am lucky enough to live where walking or biking is very conducive. I know I should do this everyday but sometimes I have to finish some orders before mail pickup. It is so convenient nowadays--just print your postage at home and schedule a pick up. No need to wait and save money and gas! My lady carrier, Carol is so sweet and I love chatting with her once in a while. <p>The lucky winner is---elliemae! Contact me within 4 days and tell me which one you want. Thank you to all . There will be another giveaway soon. Have a great day.Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340166570543919976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28863554.post-27607906352746563142008-04-03T14:10:00.008-05:002008-04-03T16:25:40.022-05:00Meet Yvette--Cell Phone/Gadget CaseMy 12-year old daughter had been asking for a pouch to put in her most precious possessions--camera,cell phone and iPod. Even during my craft shows last year people were asking. After numerous drafts and 5-6 sample pouches it is finally ready (well almost as I still have to put them on the site). I love pockets and this is a great add on as well as a decorative element. It can be hooked to a purse strap or through a belt loop.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7u2hT7WApiINOVtYonWIHV9btrZ6XNmtFEyjNxyUkX6a4Naz2Vj6-agRt_UhwsqlrstU8IB0ZEhUE4ux_z3325JsUG341Bc8OCHyhlfW4K5E34amlLIlC06_A-Y6lhpAzHHg/s1600-h/Mocca-grass.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr7u2hT7WApiINOVtYonWIHV9btrZ6XNmtFEyjNxyUkX6a4Naz2Vj6-agRt_UhwsqlrstU8IB0ZEhUE4ux_z3325JsUG341Bc8OCHyhlfW4K5E34amlLIlC06_A-Y6lhpAzHHg/s400/Mocca-grass.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185102669533110738" /></a>One of the sample pouches.

Design your own Itsy Bitsy PouchI might have signed off a few times last week. I thought the start of Spring is this week and I planned to give one cute as a button itsy bitsy pouch. Anyway we have a cold front today, in the low 50s and in South Florida that is COLD. Most often than not when there's a considerable drop in temperature I get the sniffles. I can't complain, it is beautiful outside and it makes me feel happy to be alive-- until Summer when only the brave would go out in the sun and get fried.<p>Okay ladies leave a comment until April 15th and I will draw one lucky winner to get one Design Your Own <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/catalog.php?category=130">itsy bitsy pouch (Rachel)</a>.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTNTd1eBolFs-UvzLWefjaGoLb33p_H6uNv1wKM5Fj3WT-ltVRA8e9mPJXwixayUpJoiZ_x3sS0qLmngE7p1SotoWK7ZvhHxaaln0WHoqH43dzzDXCFujRmlzwGHdCaL9C4pP/s1600-h/Rachel-Ladybug-VIne-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtTNTd1eBolFs-UvzLWefjaGoLb33p_H6uNv1wKM5Fj3WT-ltVRA8e9mPJXwixayUpJoiZ_x3sS0qLmngE7p1SotoWK7ZvhHxaaln0WHoqH43dzzDXCFujRmlzwGHdCaL9C4pP/s400/Rachel-Ladybug-VIne-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181690691678593442" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnRMsUgfBh8fGrPx4O1WG9gjbtFTWl7ar5pDiKvVz-5fu_P-9YyX_xTtNP_eHqeGERkftEEjQMTj33wtEBnjdO3fu846BOhO7C68jBw8Kk3J5onmoylopWYGx6g_2URKmdVwYB/s1600-h/Rachel+Golden+Goose+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnRMsUgfBh8fGrPx4O1WG9gjbtFTWl7ar5pDiKvVz-5fu_P-9YyX_xTtNP_eHqeGERkftEEjQMTj33wtEBnjdO3fu846BOhO7C68jBw8Kk3J5onmoylopWYGx6g_2URKmdVwYB/s400/Rachel+Golden+Goose+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181689600756900242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pWMCX1BMJQh24r0oERdOboJeKPnAs4IaRsspmIV7YOLRHQj08hyVvqwvDEwW8En2CRu230LG61iQ_RkjShIUl6k8U9xou-XLGWfQJs2Gb46QlKAfKrarnjJt5epKqN17jLBs/s1600-h/Rachel-Busy-Bodies-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1pWMCX1BMJQh24r0oERdOboJeKPnAs4IaRsspmIV7YOLRHQj08hyVvqwvDEwW8En2CRu230LG61iQ_RkjShIUl6k8U9xou-XLGWfQJs2Gb46QlKAfKrarnjJt5epKqN17jLBs/s400/Rachel-Busy-Bodies-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181689596461932930" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrzTupBRZ9w8kKm7hSkQ-laT0YAXcw1o9DK1Kog93Lb45Yoeph-zBLh5UEwJaNK028xgYMWgki-W6YKJqAYJO3uoe571Rjcr-0Ox10Vb9D6d3F4p9iOe24EL4YiZgVwl9uDW5/s1600-h/Rachel-Busy-Bodies-Interi.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivrzTupBRZ9w8kKm7hSkQ-laT0YAXcw1o9DK1Kog93Lb45Yoeph-zBLh5UEwJaNK028xgYMWgki-W6YKJqAYJO3uoe571Rjcr-0Ox10Vb9D6d3F4p9iOe24EL4YiZgVwl9uDW5/s400/Rachel-Busy-Bodies-Interi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181689574987096434" /></a><p>You can choose from my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/babycakesboutiqueonlinecom/sets/72157600024807978/">fabric collection</a> (I will be adding more) or any fabric you see in my <a href="http://babycakesboutiqueonline.com/">website</a>.<p>I am off to do more sewing.
