New Pictures of Lap blankets & Prayer Shawls

Since my model doesn't live near me I have to wait until she comes to town to take more pictures. I don't wait to post products because I need them posted right away so I use a mannequin in the meantime. My problem is I'm not a professional photographer. When I looked into my camera screen in the back the pics look best on mountain even though we are indoors. In reality they weren't best without a flash and many of my photos aren't usable. One of these days I will get this photography thing figured out.

New Vintage Halter Apron

I just love vintage sheets and the cute designs on them. So I decided to make a darling halter apron with some sheets. I made a totally reversible apron that is as cute on the front side as the back side. Frankly, I can't even tell which is the front or back. LOL This is how it turned out.


Bust here is Navy with flowers, skirt turquoise blue daisies and light blue waistband.


This is the reverse side with the Turquoise blue daisies on the bust and the navy and flower on the skirt. The waist band is the same light blue.

It's waiting for a home at my shop.

New Items

I was on vacation last week at the Comanche Pow Wow but I found the time to make two more boa scarves. It's great way to keep warm and show your team spirit.


Orange and black colors are popular for our local team OSU, but it can work just as much for a fashion statement. (the orange is a little darker than shown here)



Red and white boa is great for supporting OU or any other teams with these colors.

Art Smocks for Children

Children love to be creative but they can also be very messy. Arts and crafts, including painting can be a chore for moms when their child's clothing get messy. I have designed my own craft smock. This is the perfect thing to help your child stay clean while mom stresses less on clothing.

Most art smock patterns are for small children from 3 to 5, but children beyond that age like to be creative too. These aprons are durable and machine washable and for ages 5-10. I can make them smaller or larger for your child.

I just love vintage and especially aprons. Those sheer organza aprons with all the frills just remind me of being a little girl and mom having such pretty aprons to wear. I want to keep each and every one of them but need to share them with others so they can experience the fun of being sexy and hot will serving food to your family or at your next party.


Such lovely embroidery detail in this pocket.

Sharing love through prayers!

I've had a vision for over two years to share love through prayers and tangible objects. I wanted to be able to give away something that would encourage those who are sick and in need of healing. While praying and sorting things out I came up with prayer shawls and lap blankets. Now I don't know how to knit or crochet but I can sew. So with some divine inspiration I came up with fleece blankets and or prayer shawls with embroidered inspirational words.


My first challenge was to buy an embroidery machine. Two years ago I went to a local sewing store and the sales person told me I could not buy a machine for under $7,000. Now that was way out of my budget. So I kept praying and kept searching for a machine under a $1,000. And I found many machines under $1,000 brand new on the Internet. I really think the Internet can be a God send if you don't allow it to control you. LOL

I got my embroidery machine in November of 2008, and just recently learned how to use it. I believe if God gives as a vision for something he will provide a way to attain it. God is so good.

So now my adventure begins. I sell prayer shawls or lap blankets to bring healing and inspiration to those who wear them. I use only one word for positive affirmations so they can be given to non believers and not be offended.


I have chosen to use colors also as inspiration in choosing what positive words to be sown on the blankets. Listed below are the colors and their meanings. You can pick your favorite color and have one of the words listed added to your blanket or you can pick a word and find out what color goes with the word. I take custom orders. I sell these blankets so I can make more to be given to those who are sick, morning or just need a touch. 20% of all blankets sold will go towards making more blankets to be given away. All prayer shawls or lap blankets have been prayed over by my prayer team, Christian Women's Outreach Inc., CWOI.


COLORS AND THEIR MEANINGS:
Red: blood, love, passion, war
Wine: blessings, mercy
Pink: hope, love, passion
Fuchsia (Hot Pink): love, joy, compassion
Orange: fire, harvest, praise
Gold: glory
Yellow: friendship, happiness, joy, celebration
Green: growth, life, prosperity
Aqua/turquoise: healing
Light blue: heaven, heavenly, peace
Medium blue: faith, happiness,healing, life, loyalty, water
Dark blue: loyalty, truth
Navy: warfare, worship
Purple: justice, power, royalty, strength, victory
Lavender: grace
White: faith, hope, purity, perfection
Ivory: beauty
Silver/gray: wisdom


God brought special miracles when prayer covered handkerchiefs, aprons, towels, and wash cloths were placed on the sick then diseases and evil departed.

About

I learned to sew from my mother in my teens. Later, I sewed jams (shorts), and dresses for my daughters when they were little. I love crafting so I made all kinds of items from flower wreaths and swags, fans, Christmas stockings and many other items for gifts for family and friends and sewed very limited at this time.

I began sewing instead of crafting as a need for myself because I was looking in local stores for aprons with themes for seasonal wear and could not find any locally. I finally realized I really love sewing and it gives me such satisfaction seeing the finished product that I wanted to share my lovely aprons with others. I began my business to help others find the aprons they are looking for too.

As a seamstress I specialize in handmade aprons, hooded baby towels, swaddle bath aprons, and accessories. I opened my etsy shop in the fall of 2007. This blog is dedicated to showing my work and connecting with my readers.
