The Dying Swan

This year my husband got me the best Christmas present ever!!!! Two tickets to see the Russian Ballet perform Swan Lake at the Strand Capitol Theatre! It has been a dream of mine to go see this ballet since I was about 7. When we lived in Saudia Arabia a friend of my mothers went to Russia and the ACTUAL Russian ballet. They saw Swan Lake and (gasp) secretly videotaped it. They came over one night and we all watched it together and I was hooked. The beauty of the ballerina and the heartbreaking story went straight to my heart and stayed there.  I will never forget watching the main ballerina (Maya Plisetskays) and being taken with her amazing beauty and grace. When she fluttered her arms you could see the Swan coming out!


As a girl the story of Swan Lake....a handsome prince who falls in love with a beautiful princess who is bewitched by an evil sorcerer..captivated me. I prayed to find a love like that. Well dreams do come true....because next Wednesday I am going with MY prince to see this amazing ballet!!!

where have I been??

I just realized its been awhile since I posted....I have sew (heehee) much to say. I had a wonderful time at the Women's Show and sold ALOT!!!! If you haven't checked it out yet go see my new website....it was  designed by the wonderful PolkDot Dandy. I will post more with pics later....I have lots to show!

womens show preview

phew! what a busy week. I finally got my "big" order done....all 20 chicken print bags. A wonderful man named Bud buys them from me 20 at a time. He works for Tyson Chicken in Georgia thus the chicken print!

And as most of you  know I am participating in the York Womens Show this October so I have finally begun to get started on all the stuff I need to make.  Here is my newest bag pattern....I sooooooo love this!

I have never carried a bag with a zip top before...seriously....but now that I make them this way I LOVE it...no more stuff falling out.

this is also another pattern......I adore bows and think this came out really cute

and of course I got started on accesories. I've wanted to make a pleated wristlet for awhile now but just couldnt find the time....I'm glad I did....

I put 2 pockets in it....one for your liscense and credit cards and another for a cell phone....its what we cant live without these days huh?

and I got around to this......a square makeup bag....

fully lined

 

thats alot for one week....but I am on a serious time crunch! I also got my new website up an running....just not with any products yet..lol....I am hoping to have that all done by the 1st of October.   I would love if you checked it out and let me know what you think!!! http://www.bumblebeebagz.com/

As always all patterns on my blog are my own!

I'm so excited!!

Well I took the plunge and signed up to do a show.....a big show....this fall.  I am going to be in the York Women's Show at the York County Fairgrounds.  It is the biggest event of its kind on the East Coast!!! I am so excited to be a part of this. They showcase everything from makeup...to fashion....to decorating....all for the woman! It is a great way to meet all the local business and really get to networking. They do all the advertising for you and your business...from the web to newspaper...to RADIO!!!  Can you imagine? I think I would have a heart attack if I heard my business name on the radio. I have so much sewing to do to get ready for this but I cannot wait! Go check it out and if you live anywhere near this......you have to come. I will be giving away tickets for the show later on so check back. When you go on the site click on "Exhibitors" and scroll down to Clothing and Accessories and you will see ME!!!  Did I say I was excited?
