Terrific Tuesday - Do Over :)

Okay, I'm a little ashamed of my last post that I did this morning! I am really in a good spot right now just a little overwhelmed by dealing with so many things out of my control. If you don't already know I'm a little bit of a control freak and I don't like it when I don't know what's going on or when I can't get everything done that I say I want to have done. Like my wonderful hubby says, I'm a bit of an overachiever. I don't go just half way in. Problem with that is I get a little crazy every once in awhile! :)

Enough said! I am moving on to bigger and better things. Today I got a lot of time to work on my orders. I have some very special satin Easter dresses that I'm making and I have one very close to being done and the other is about 2/3 the way done. I am loving these dresses! It's the Pretty Little Dress in Yellow Satin with Chocolate Brown sash and bow and the same dress in Pink Satin with the Chocolate Brown sash and bow! They are so adorable. It's making me rethink the whole practical cotton print dress for the girls! Oh well!
I also got a chance to go to the fabric store and I purchased some fabrics for orders as well as some Khaki twill to make another pair of The Chase Pants! Here's a great picture if you haven't seen them already, oh that's right, I didn't get them on the blog cause it was not cooperating, well let's try it now:

Love them!

I also have the fleece for the Urban Hoodie to try out too so I am hoping to get that done this week, but who am I kidding. It's going to be next week! LOL!

In other news, mark your calendars to see my lovely shop hosting a giveaway on Making the World Cuter next Wednesday April 6th and on Whatever DeeDee Wants, She's Gonna Get it.... on April 11th! These are bigger giveaways than I have done here so make sure to check them out!

Happy Tuesday everyone and I hope that you have a great night! Be back again on Freebie Friday! Maybe sooner, we'll see.....

Jenny :)

Terrific Tuesday

Okay, I hate to be a negative Nancy but right now about the best thing about it being Tuesday is that it isn't Monday anymore! LOL! Okay, I am actually happy how things are turning out and you guys make my day each and every day. All the messages and posts on my Facebook page make me realize how lucky I am to have my friends around.

So obviously I haven't got the blogger picture thing fixed but I do have all the items up on Etsy that I have made so far. The Catie Dress and the Urban Hoodie should be done by the end of this weekend and I'm looking to add another pattern or two in the very near future.

So as much as I love you guys, this morning I have two very happy, very talkative girls that I think I need to go snuggle!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Sunday Funday - CLOSED

EDIT - This giveaway is now closed!

Okay, you will have to excuse me....I'm a litttle sleepy. I had my youngest decide that 3:20AM was a perfectly natural time to get up in the morning. Good thing we are going for a very long car ride today. Both mommy and babe will be napping! :)

So I have been racking my brain on what to do on this Sunday Funday. I have been busy getting fabric selections ready and getting new pictures and items on my Etsy Shop and of course, right here. Still hadn't come up with something until a few minutes ago...

Happy Sunday Funday!

Hope you all are having a great weekend! I can't wait to get the chance to hang out a little more with my family. It is supposed to rain all day so that must mean comfy clothes, movies, and lots of snuggling!

I have a great new program that I am implementing today. I think you will all enjoy this! Our very own Affiliate Program starts today. What does that mean for you? FREE STUFF! Here's how it works:

1) Send us a message at jennysies (at) yahoo (dot) com and let us know that you are interested in our affilate program. I will send you back your super special code that helps us track your in store credits.

Some changes...ALL GOOD!!!!

Okay, so I went off the deep end two weeks ago and set up this blog and facebook page and realized that it is definitely not worthy my fine friends, family and new clients. So over the next week and a half I will be revamping and making it look beautiful and oh so easy to use!

Technical Difficulties

Boy oh boy! Do I wish I would have paid better attention in all those computer programming classes I took. Although things have probably changed in the 12 years since I took them.

Unfortunately anyone who hit the like button on the side bar is not linked up on facebook because I cannot understand the programming enough! I thought I had it but apparently not! So I can see the first few, but all others, who ever you wonderful people are, are lost in cyberspace!

If you could go to facebook and like me on there I would really appreciate it, then I can make sure that you receive updates and new product information as soon as possible!

Thanks!
