The 4th of July definitely ranks pretty high on my list of favorite holidays. For me I feel like it marks the official start of summer. I know technically Memorial Day is but I am also a huge fan of fireworks, so maybe it is the presence of fireworks that seems to make it more of a kickoff to summer!
My holiday weekend didn't start off so great as I clumsily injured my pinky toe while working in my yard. Thankfully, it is starting to feel better. This injury reminded me of a few other 4th of July injuries that required trips to the ER, I am glad this did not warrant that. But in case you were wondering, your pinky toe may be small, but when injured it HURTS!
Today my plan was to stay off of my foot and do lots of craft show prep since I have two back to back shows coming up starting next weekend, as well as a 100 custom embroidered keychain order. Just as I was about to settle in and star the sewing madness, my 6 year old reminded me that I promised her a trip to the movies. After carefully weighing some other times this weekend to go I decided to just let the sewing wait another way and spend some time with my little one! We went to see Toy Story 3. It was so completely adorable and like everyone else I cried at the end. I saw it in 3D and found nothing 3D about it, so if you go save a few bucks and see it on the normal screen. At the end of the movie, Bella gave me a hug and said, thanks mom for taking me to see this today. Ok, well that made it all worth it!
We happened to catch a 7pm movie so we were home around 9pm. We kept hearing the sounds of fireworks, I was feverishly online trying to find out where they were coming from when I made a spontaneous decision to just get in the car and find them. Mind you while I am in my pajamas, we dash out of the house and just start driving. We stumbled upon a location where we could view the fireworks that were actually in the next town over. To my surprise there were other cars in this spot too, I wondered if they were on the same mission as us. Bella was loving it and I of course loved watching the fireworks. It was a clear night so the stars were out, I overheard her wishing on a star and my heart melted. The apple doesn't fall to far with this one!

Since we were already out and about I decided we might as well finish off the night with some ice cream from our favorite local place. I didn't tell Bella where we were going I just started driving. She was very excited to discover we were getting ice cream. I broke my major rule of being out in public in my pajamas to get us our ice cream but some things are worth breaking rules for!
My Ice Cream of Choice: Chocolate and Vanilla Twist Custard with Chocolate Jimmies!
In the car on the way home Bella told me that this was "The Best Day Ever" and I would have to agree. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up in my to do list that I forget that sometimes I just have to put the list down and enjoy some simple and spontaneous times with my kid. The reward of doing that always seems to outweigh that of crossing things off the to do list. Take some time to enjoy the rest of this holiday weekend too! Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!

A New Kind of Bridal Fabric Flower
One of things that I love about having this business is the chance to do custom orders. Some are definitely more challenging than others, but something positive always comes out of it. Be it a new accessory to add to the shop, a chance to learn a new technique, or an opportunity to think outside of the box even more.
Back in February I received an email about my white satin bride hair flowers. A customer wanted me to make something similar to accent her daughters wedding gown. It seems that they did not order the dress with the flowers on it but ordered some extra fabric in the hopes of finding someone who could make the flowers for them. Wow! They sent me a picture of the gown and I made two sample flowers in the hopes that one of them would work. This is a picture I took with my phone (which explains the poor quality), it shows the flowers on the dress I was trying to duplicate.

The other flower was adapted slightly from my other hair flowers, see the Purplelicious Bride Hair Flower Blog to check out the flowers. The one I created based on some of my original designs is the one they ended up going with.
I have to say it is a complete honor to be asked to make anything for a bride. To know that your creation is going to be a part of her day is an amazing feeling. I was a little bit nervous about actually making these flowers for a gown! For some reason that seemed like a bigger deal than make a hair flower. It was also really fun working with the fabric that was used to make the dress, I could just feel the quality of it. Below is a picture of the finished flowers. The bride's mom found rhinestone centers to use that matched the bride's earrings, so they got sent as is.

But I thought it might be fun to see what this flower would look like with one of my rhinestone buttons, don't be surprised if you see this show up in a certain Etsy shop sometime soon!

I have been having a lot of fun making fabric flowers and have a bunch of ideas for some new designs. But like usual, I've got plenty of ideas but not enough time to make them all happen. With a big craft show coming up I might find the time and will be sure to share whatever I come up with!

"The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog" Cupcakes
It is just terrible that I have not posted a blog since January. I would promise to try to get better at it but I don't want to let you down. I do have some cool projects I am working on that I want to share with you so there may be hope for me yet!
A couple of weeks ago, I picked my daughter up from school and she was beaming with excitement. It was finally her turn to be student of the week. She was actually the last one in her class to have a turn but I was told later by the teachers that being the last kid is a good thing. It means they are patient enough to wait for their turn.
The first project was Bella's all about me page. For this I took out all of my scrapbooking supplies. This is where I am grateful for my craft supply hoarding tendencies. You never know when you are going to need fun paper and letter stickers! We also used some crayons and Bella really enjoyed making a rainbow design for all of the borders. My favorite part about this is when asked if she had one wish what she would wish for, she put Sun and Hugs. That's my girl!

For the rest of the week we needed to send in various things that are Bella's favorites. The "main event" of the week was when I got to go into her class and read them a story. This also entails bringing some sort of snack for the class too. All along Bella knew she wanted me to make cupcakes but we were a little undecided about what book I was going to read. Being the last kid, a lot of her books were already read to the class with the exception of the Pigeon books, by Mo Willems. Those books are pretty much our favorites around here. I like the pigeon because he has so much attitude and it is really fun to bring that out when you are reading them. You can read more about them here: http://www.pigeonpresents.com/
So being the overachiever that I am I decided to make cupcakes that matched the books. Being the last student of the week I felt it was a go big or go home situation. After a consultation with my fellow baker brain stormer, my sister, she sent me a picture of a hot dog made out of candy. It was decided. I would read the 4 pigeon books to the kids, finish with "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog" and give out the cupcakes!
Here is how I made the "hot dogs". Again I will add that I did not come up with this idea, it was based on a picture I found on flickr. Basically you need circus peanuts, tootsie rolls, icing tinted yellow, and green sour patch kids. It is a pretty easy process. Cut the circus peanut in half, but not all of the way and then work the tootsie roll in. Pipe a little yellow icing to look like mustard, then add cut up green sour patch kids for the "relish". Here is a picture of the "hot dogs" all lined up and ready to be cupcake toppers.
For the cupcakes I made a batch of vanilla and a batch of chocolate. With 26 kids in the class, there is no way around making 48 cupcakes! I just swirled some homemade vanilla butter cream on them and topped each cupcake with a "hot dog". Here is the final product.

I had such a blast reading to the kids. I was a little nervous at first, I am not sure why. But I could tell for Bella it was so amazing to have her mom come in and sit in her teacher's chair and read to her class, even though I embarrassed her when I really got into acting out the pigeon! Here are some photos of us reading to the class. They were scanned so I apologize for the quality. The kids got a kick out of the cupcakes and so did the teachers. Even though right after this I had to rush into work and had 30 minutes to prepare for an impromptu meeting, it was completely worth taking the time out of the day to be there for Bella and also a great excuse to make another creative cupcake!

Happy New Decade!
The fact that we were about to start a new decade did not even dawn on me until I was on my return trip from Orlando after Christmas and I was reading a People Magazine. I know, you are probably thinking, "What does she live under a rock?". Well I actually do. If by rock you mean a full time job, combined with single parenthood, combined with running a small business. It was Christmas, I was busy. December was pretty crazy for Purplelicious, it marked the most successful holiday sales season to date! Awesome!
In addition to making fabulous holiday gifts for everyone I got to work on some new stuff too! For starters I got to work on my first sorority keychain order! I hope these Alpha Sigma Alpha ladies love their sorority wristlet keychains! I personally love the fabric and thread color combination!

I also designed a new fabric flower pin. I made this one using Christmas Fabrics but have a few non holiday ones cut out. I am excited that I have found another thing I can do with my fabric scraps! FUN!

I spent Christmas in Florida with my family. While I was there I embarked on a new creative journey I like to call Lego Building. I don't think I even remember the last time I put a Lego kit together or even built with Legos. But on Christmas morning when my nephew/godson asked me to help him, I could not resist him or the challenge. And challenge it was, I honestly did not move from the kitchen table all day. I now have a love/hate relationship with Legos but managed to put 5 pieces together for him. I am resting up so I am ready to tackle more kits for him when I visit them again! Thankfully my little one has not taken a liking to them, I think I will try and keep it that way!

I guess I am supposed to set some goals for the new year/new decade but I am procrastinating like usual. I do know that I have a lot of new accessory ideas and am trying to think a little more outside of the box. I know that to keep a business growing innovation is key. Wow, look at that, I am already goal setting! Before I get out of hand and end up with an "impossible to achieve" list I will quit while I am ahead and wish everyone a Happy New Year (a couple weeks late!) I look forward to sharing more Purplelicious stories with you through this blog and making many fabulous accessories for you in 2010!

Turkey For Two!
About a month ago when I was talking to my mom I realized that there was a pretty good possibility that I would be alone this Thanksgiving. Most of my family was going to be out of town visiting other family members. I had the opportunity to go to Florida with my parents and join the rest of my family there but since I just started working again, I have limited vacation time and would have had to fly out on Wednesday. NO THANK YOU. Instead I saw these couple of days an opportunity to spend some much needed time with my little one. With me working and her being in school we are lucky if we get an hour a day together before we both fall asleep and start the day over again. I am so very grateful that I got many other offers to spend Thanksgiving with others but chose a relaxing day with my favorite person on this planet!
We started the day with a trip to the movies. We went to see A Christmas Carol in 3D of course. I thought the movie was very well done, the actors did a great job, and the 3D effects were really awesome. But it was kind of dark and Bella was scared for most of it. I could feel her shaking at some points. During the movie I felt bad for taking her but at the end when I asked her if she liked it, she said she really did. She was surprised that I was surprised by her response. I guess if she liked it then that is all that matters!

Then it was time for me to get cooking. Bella requested that I make turkey for Thanksgiving. Now I was not even sure if she would like it but I made it anyway. I bought a little 7lbs turkey breast and made us a little turkey dinner. I roasted the turkey with baby carrots and potatoes. Last time I checked she liked carrots and potatoes but all she ate for dinner was a few pieces of turkey and refused to let me put gravy on it. She is SO picky. I can honestly say that she does not take after me when it comes to food! Overall I think our little turkey dinner for two was quite delicious! I can't wait to make my favorite turkey leftover sandwich tomorrow!

We ended the evening with one of my favorite activities to do with her...bake cupcakes! We made devil's food cupcakes. I taught her how to crack eggs tonight and she did one perfect on her own. My little baker prodigy! I decided to make homemade chocolate buttercream icing because I love it. And I remembered that I bought a new large star icing tip that I had not used yet. I LOVE how the icing looks using the bigger tip, they look more professional. They taste so good, I need to find a way to get them out of my house so Bella and I don't eat them all!

As much as I am thankful that I have a great family I can honestly say that I truly enjoyed having a day that celebrating my little family. Sometimes it is nice to take a break from all of the craziness and enjoy the holidays for what they are about, celebrating with the ones we love. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Working, Running, Creating, and Reconnecting!
Oh My…no way I have not blogged since August. Sorry about that! I do have a good reason for it, I am now employed and forgot how working completely sucks away ALL of your free time! Clearly it took a little time for me to get adjusted to working again, something I forgot since I was unemployed for 11 months. This adjustment was further complicated with the addition of my 5 year old starting Kindergarten AND me training for a marathon.
Even though I have taken a little break from blogging, I did not take a break from being creative! For the Marine Corps Marathon I made myself a Camouflage Ribbon Athletic Headband as well as made our shirts. I appliqued 26.2 numbers made from camouflage fabric to a running shirt and added an American flag patch on the sleeve. The shirts looked awesome and my sister and I both had great marathons! We both not only finished but BOTH got PR’s. I beat mine by best marathon time by 12 minutes and my sister beat hers by 45!!! The Marines put on a GREAT marathon, the course was beautiful, and the water stops were very nice as well! ;-)

Coming right off of the marathon was Halloween. Since I have nothing but free time I volunteered to make the soccer team Halloween costumes for the fright night. Fright Night was a big event at the soccer fields with trick or treating, a parade, a team costume contest, and a game. So the challenge was making a costume that the kids could also play soccer in. One of the parents came up with the idea for them to be M&M’s and said each parent could make the shirt. Since I was in it to win it and am a bit OCD, I volunteered to make them. The kids were M&M’s and I made the coach the bag, I made them using t shirts and felt. I had the kids wear their black soccer shorts, black long sleeve t’s, and bought them white gloves. They looked adorable! Oh and did I mention we won first place! This Soccer Mom thing is not a bad gig!

November so far has been off to a great start! I fortunately was able to return to my Alma Mater for Homecoming and a reunion with my sorority sisters. I am not sure if I had mentioned this before but my sorority is the reason you see all of this Purple and why my business is called Purplelicious! Tri Sigma’s colors are Royal Purple and White. So naturally purple is one of my favorite colors! One day I was running and listening to Fergalicious, combined the two and Purplelicious was born! Anyway, back to the weekend! It was so amazing to be back together with my girls. Within minutes of seeing each other we were hanging out like no time had passed. When we headed back to campus to tailgate it was so incredible to be back there. I forgot how much I loved that campus and how beautiful it was. You can’t really top a campus that has palm trees. Tailgating was an entirely new experience since Coastal Carolina University did not have a football when most of us attended. I made adorable hair flowers in black and teal (school colors) with purple Tri Sigma letters on them. You can see me wearing it in the picture below! I was talking to my sister as I was getting on the plane and she said, “You are going to have the best weekend because you get to go back to a place where you had some of the best times of your life.” And she was right. Not only did I get to go back but I had a chance to make some new memories and reestablish some great friendships!

I know I always promise to be better about keeping my blog up to date but maybe it is more fun to keep you guessing as to when my next blog will be. Until next time, stay fabulous!

HeadbandsbyPurplelicious now on Artfire
In an effort to continue to build up my web presence, last month I finally caved and opened up my shop on Artfire! I have seen so many of my EtsyNJ friends making the leap but what sealed the deal for me was that Artfire donated 100 Artfire bags for the goodie bags at the Handmade Faire last month. Now that is just cool!
Artfire claims to be extremely seller focused and they ARE! Not only is listing a new item so simple, SEO functionality is embedded into the listing set up. Setting up my market was so easy and within a day of getting my shop set up I already started showing up in google searches! Good stuff!
As if I wasn't already happy with Artfire the other day they released the Artfire Kiosk application for facebook. Now customers can shop directly from my facebook profile and fan page without even going to Artfire. You can even buy items right there through a secure server. Yay!
Check out my new shop on Artfire by clicking here. And if you want to take advantage of easy shopping through facebook, become a fan of Purplelicious by checking out my Facebook Fan Page and checking out the Artfire Kiosk tab.
Happy Shopping!
