Gussied - By Erin Tagle
hand-made unique cuffs with embellishments and vintage fabrics

Beautiful 1/2" cuffs with decoupage vintage fabric

Elisabeth cuff {specially named for me} - Erin was sweet enough to send me one!  This 2" copper cuff is covered with repurposed designer upholstery fabric. Love it!

Vintage Rings - I couldn't leave out the adjustable rings. Especially the middle ring with Vintage sheet music (Melody) 

Need one especially unique - check out this one made from a vintage dog food ad. 

Here is a little blurb about Erin from Erin 


I'm just a busy momma and wife in Corpus Christi, Texas.  I've always loved fashion, cooking and baking, artsy things and unique finds, shopping second-hand, and collecting antique dishes and jewelry.  On any given day, you can find me in my skinny jeans, Tom's shoes and a white v-neck, toting my favorite accessory {my 9 month old daughter} to the local thrift stores and flea markets.  I've turned my love of fabric, fashion and jewelry into design, by using repurposed, vintage and/or designer fabrics to decoupage wide metal cuffs.  I might be a busy momma, but I always make time to accessorize!  

Here is where you can check out more about {Gussied}

Holly Craft Originals

I'd like to introduce you all to Holly of Holly Craft Originals! She makes the cutest fabric appliques! I've admired her work for a while but hadn't had a chance to purchase any of her items. Back in Nov I excitedly won a giveaway for 1 applique! I received the cutest brown and pink Owl. I should have taken pictures of it because I've sadly lost it in the midst of all my ribbon and the rush of the Holiday season. I know it's buried in the storage box somewhere. So in the mean time I'll share some of her other darling works!

She got a little something for boys and girls in her shop too. She has pillowcase dresses, onesizes, hats, headbands and cards in her shop. 

Her appliques can be used in a number of ways. I use them on my crochet creations, but you can use them in cards, scrap booking, as embellishments on clothing and accessories.

Here are some words about Holly from Holly! :)

I am from West MI...been here my whole life. I love living close to Lake MI...especially during the summer! Not so much in winter...:(

I am a stay at home mom of 2 kids who loves to do crafts! I have been crafting since I was a tween! My Mom always sewed and did other crafts too. So as kids we always saw her doing crafty things, and I became interested in it. I think that is what got me into it...:) 

I started up on Etsy in 2007 selling cards and then went to hats made from a knifty knitter loom...and that just didn't really get much interest, so I just kept trying new things...bibs, more hats, etc. 
I really started doing the appliques because I had been scrapbooking and wanted some flowers to use on my pages...I looked around and found some on a scrapbooking website...but they seemed pricey and they looked like something that I could do! So I tried! Here I am now doing many different designs, mostly because of the customers and fans asking me if I could do something...from airplanes , tractors, bears, frogs...anything they think of I try! And if what I draw up meets my idea of cute :) then I put it into fabric!

My business name is HollyCraft Originals. I go by HollyCraft on Facebook...My husband helped me come up with the originals...because everything is handmade and original...by me.

I have a small room on our porch (built on) that I use now to craft. It isn't much, but it is better than where I was working...My kitchen table! LOL...I still end up there alot, but at least the dining room isn't covered with all my fabrics, and other craft supplies!!

you can find me on Etsy and Facebook 


Please check out Holly Craft originals! I know you'll just love her work. If you ever want me to add some of her darling appliques to my hats or headbands I would love to just ask and we'll work out the details! 

Shout out - Erin Tagle Designs

I recently participated in The handmade gift exchange host by Craftaholics Anonymous. If you don't follow her blog you should it's fantastic:




I got to exchange gifts with a great designer. Her name is Erin Tagle of Erin Tagle Designs. 


She makes adorable clothing for little diva's and dudes. From Dresses , shoes, headbands and onsies. You can check out a few of her designs in her Etsy shop.


Here are a few things I received from her in the gift exchange!

I received this adorable apron. I love the colors, prints, and trim. It is very well crafted.

This was my favorite item. It's a silk flower ribbon belt. I've worn it a ton already and gotten tons of compliments. It has  long satin ribbon ties so it can fit anyone and if you need shorter ties just trim it down. It is very well put together. the flowers are sewn to felt backing which gives  is some support and not floppy. 

She also included these crayon mold for the kiddos. I stuffed them in there stockings  for Christmas :)


Thanks Erin for such adorable items! I hope you'll check her out too!

Mini Craft Fair

This weekend I participated in a Mini Craft Fair. It was mainly a group of us from the church I attend (Southwest Baptist Church OKC, OK.) We had a good number of participants from Scentsy, Pampered Chef, Beauty Control, Premier Jewelry, and then some small WAHM business such as Lil' Goody TuTu's Boutique, Emily's Unique Boutique, Posh Pooch Designs Dog Clothes, Public Safety Survival Bracelets, my Shop and a few other crafters that sold items for fun.

We didn't have a fabulous turn out but we had lots of fun, food and fellowship! If anything I got to know some of the ladies better and met some new people to network with.

I don't normally do big craft shows because I'm fearful of spending money to rent a spot and not make the money back, so the idea of this was lots of fun since I didn't have to rent a spot and with the few sales I did make and the new acquaintances that were made it was worth it to me. I look forward to trying it again in the future!

Our biggest eye catchers were the owl hats of course, along with the head wraps and cotton wash clothes.

I've linked up a few of the shops above! Check them out while your here.

Thank you Jenni and Emily for putting it all together!
