Some Halloween fun!

Ok so I just finished this super fun BOO shirt for my friend Keri's daughter Katie!  I love it and I hope she does too.  I thought the fabric was fun but wasn't sure how to make it "girly!"  Well here ya go!!




I bet she will look adorable in it!  Although she may need to push up those sleeves for Halloween in Florida!!!  :)

I will get this....

Ok I promise I will figure out the Fabrics page.  Blogging....sewing....crafting I can handle.  Apparently I am not as "computer savy" as I thought.  But hey I will get it figured out maybe with the help of the hubby!

So excited for a few things today....

Hubby is getting off early.
Picking up our new car.
Actually getting some laundry done.
AND finishing some fun fall projects today!

Lately I have been trying a lot of new things in the sewing/designing world and it has been a blast!  I am seriously just 'winging' it and turning up with some really fun designs.  I am working on getting prepared for a few craft shows/fall festivals that I have entered and it has been interesting.  This will be my first one so I am not exactly sure what to expect but I am really excited. 

A couple things I know for sure will be there....

Tutus (various sizes and colors)
Key fobs
Initial onesies
some festive fall and Christmas shirts and onesies
Hair clips (not the usual flowers/bows....although there will be a few of those.)

I was also thinking about having an order sheet for custom items, um, and some minor things to bring attention to my table like a fall/pumpkin smelling flameless candle. 

I just really need to figure out how I am going to display all the items.  I would love to hear ideas of what you think needs to be there or any other fall festive attention getters.  You can just leave them in the comments section. 

It is November 20th so I have a little less than 2 months but I really want to have fun with it and not get all stressed out at the end.  Lets face it.....when it comes to some things I am a great procrastinator BUT I hate saving things until midnight the night before (although this happens way too often).

As soon as there is more info about the craft venues I will keep you updated because I would love for you to just stop by to say HI!!!

Working on fabrics tab

If you are coming to this blog to look at fabric choices just click on the fabric tab.  I am still working on getting this organized so please be patient as I am not that blogger savy yet!!! :)

Up and Going...

I have been working hard on getting everything up and running for Qtee Pa2tee's Boutique as well as filling orders while I go.  Oh and being a wife and a momma to the 2 crazy little men in my life.  I have created this blog to keep you informed on the new and exciting things that are going on with Qtee Pa2tee!   


To start off with.....I started this blog.  Yippee!  

Tomorrow I plan on turning in my contract to have a booth at the 18th Annual Oak Park High School Craft Fair.  I figure that will be a good start in getting my name out there.  I also have a few things in my friend Shannon's salon.  (Thank you Shannon)  I was very excited to take some of the onesies, tutu and hairbows to her place. 

 Also I got a etsy store going and just tonight put a little more on there.  You can visit that in your spare time.  Here is a preview on some of the things that are in there ...








I am really having a lot of fun with all the new creations.  Of course I can't stay out of the craft stores and online.  Just Saturday my loving husband ;) took me out to OPKS to some very fun fabric stores where I had way too much fun. 

Saturday I also got my hardware in for some very fun new key fobs that I am creating.  These are so cute and make carrying your keys a little easier (ok,ok I know that is not a hugely difficult task, but they loop around your wrist & hey they are cute!) 

I will hopefully know something quickly about the venues for my fall shows.  I may also try to have an open house, we shall see.  You will have to stay tuned to find out. 

For now I am going to try to peel myself away from this new world of blogging, etsy, facebook and much much more to go get some zzzzzzzzz's before those two crazy boys wake up.
