Home, SALE and Fabrics!

After spending a wonderful week in our old hometown of Westcliffe, Colorado...we are home. It was a wonderful week.....and I am refreshed and ready to get my machine humming:)
*********************************
How about an "Isabelle" sale!?!?!
The "Isabelle" dress is typically $38 each....but Tuesday through Saturday....any Isabelle dress is
just $25
This is the only time I will offer the "Isabelle" dress at just $25.....go ahead and buy them up for the fall! You can also add a turtleneck under the Isabelle for an extra warm dress.
You can look at the new fabrics I have purchased HERE......just email me (jubug231 @ aol.com) with the size dress and fabric you would like!

I am already missing the mountains.... but thankful to be back home! We are still waiting patiently for "the call", eager to meet our newest little one and know our birthmother by name.

Thank you for being a part of our adoption journey!

Off we go! We are going on a little trip to visit some precious friends of ours.....really the only vacation we have taken as a family-unless you count that one night, $35 get-away to the local KOA:)
If you know our family...you can probably guess where we are going....or you can figure it out by watching our "Anniversary Video". If "The Call" comes this week, we will be screaming it from the mountain top...quite literally!
Be back Monday, August 30th.....unless I can't go that long without my sewing machine:)

Evangeline and I loved all of your name suggestions for the new little Flitterbugs.

This little dress now has a name:
And the winner is:

Name That Dress.....and win it!

Yesterday, I posted a few pictures of some new styles for the fall......including this dress:(Do you like little E's haircut? It wasn't origionally going to be so short....but I had trouble getting it straight. We just kept going shorter and shorter!)

This little dress needs a better name than the "3-Quarter Length Sleeve Flitterbug"

You have given me some lovely ideas so far! So how about a contest!?!
**Leave a comment or email me with what you would like me to name the dress.
It could be your daughter's name, what the dress makes you think of.....even your name:)
**Evangeline and I will pick our favorites from your comments, and put them "in the hat".
**The name we draw will be the title of this little Flitterbug......and.....
You will win one of these dresses, any size and fabric of your choice!
We will draw the winner on Thursday morning....and check in tomorrow for the $18 end of the summer sale!)

Sneak Peak at New Styles......

I have been working on a few new...and some "tweaked" designs for the fall.
I have been asking some of you ladies, and you all agree....."whimsy" is the style you like:) Evangeline was not too happy about modeling in the triple digit heat for me.
The quarter length sleeve Fliterbug Dress.....hum, need to think of a different name for it. Any ideas? You can choose 2-3 fabrics for this dress, and it has an elastic waist for a more fitted look. A turtleneck fits great under this dress....but no, I did not ask E to try that out fo me:)
Girlie Gauchos
.....come in girl's sizes 1 to 14. Choose 2-3 fabrics. Fun pockets on the front, and the waistband in a coordinating print!

The Wide Ruffle Pants
Little girlies grow up too fast.....I'm lovin' some ruffles while she will still let me!
Choose 2 fabrics, and I can make them the length you would like.
Do you love to dress your Flitterbug in the most funky of styles?!?
.....The Double Wide Ruffle Pants.....
Choose up to 3 fabrics...
***********************
more pics to come!

The kiddos and I have been having such fun this week putting up corn, visiting the peach farm and canning peaches and jams, ordering the last bits of this year's homeschooling material and enjoying (um.....wishing away:) these last few days (um...weeks/months here in Georgia!) of summer. Life is full and good...and each day that passes brings us closer ot our little one. Thank you for being a part!
