Sew worn out
This is the last package from my Trash Ties give-away I had on ebay last month (thank you Heather!). I sold over 30 dresses (and then filled all those orders) and I'm spent! Gone I tell ya! Kaput!
This dress with the cute little bird and mouse (and some other characters) was by far the most popular and I lost track of how many I've made. Sweet, but I definitely need a break from it.
On another note, my sweet 16 year old Olivia (who just had her birthday and I can't figure out how I got to be the mother of a 16 year old what the heck's up with that would someone tell me please oh Lord is that another wrinkle?!...) has been doing some pretty things with Trash Ties. She has very long and thick hair so I'm glad she she has a way to whip it into shape, especially when she's running out the door to class. This is a kind of classy "Olive Oyl" look.
Here she added a blue ribbon. Nice.
Anyway, I need a bit of a break so tonight I'm making 3 crockpots full of chili so I won't have to cook dinner for the rest of the week. My family will love me!
Hi Jona,
I just found your blog via Heather's blog, and have read a bit back. When I read about you having 1 of your 4 oranges, I thought hmmmm, "I wonder if she lives in CA, AZ, or FL? I know Heather's in AZ, and I think because I linked to one of your auctions, I see that you ARE too. OBTW, did you know that there are three SAS's in the Valley?? I've had various success finding fabulous stuff at each of the locations at different times. Just when I think I'm not going back, I'll stop at one or the other because I'm in the area, and find something great. I love the birdie toddler dress. I can see why it was a good seller. Good Luck in you endeavors. Oh, and once your kids hit the teen years, time really flies!!!!
