New begininnings

I want to thank all of my loyal customers and new customers for a very good 2010! I am excited to bring new items to my Mosspink customers in 2011. I hope to make this coming year a year to remember for Mosspink clothing! Thanks again!!!

Coming soon

I plan to list Valentine skirts in the next week or two!

More Holiday skirts

I added a couple more skirts to the shop today. :)

It's a blue Christmas

Typically I don't choose a color theme for Christmas. It is usually a very colorful hodge podge Christmas in my home. This year, however, I am in the mood for a handmade blue Christmas. Luckily the internet has a plethora of handmade Christmas tutorials. I stumbled across a very easy, budget friendly tree tutorial. As I blogged about in a previous post, I am all about yarn lately. I have more than enough yarn to make 2086430956849 yarn tree forests! I am really slacking with decorating this year as well. Besides the yarn wreath, this is the only decorating I have done so far. Oh I almost forgot to mention. Notice the nice apothecary jar filled with Martha Stewart glitter ornaments?? I picked that up at Goodwill for $1.99!!

Holiday Collection

I added some Holiday ruffle skirts to the shop this morning. Check them out!!

Yarn wreath

I have the craft bug. I always get it around Christmas. I just love creating things to display in my home for the holidays. After Christmas last year, I decided it was finally time to retire the worn out fake pine wreath. I wanted something a little different this year. I am really into yarn lately so, why not a yarn wreath?!?!

Christmas skirts

I currently have 8 Christmas ruffle skirts designs ready to be purchased!

Christmas ruffle skirts

I have been working feverishly on Christmas ruffle skirts.

A giveaway at Vintage Pearl

Yet another awesome giveaway!!

Complete

I completed the advent calendar last night! I'm so excited to share my finished product with you all! I am pretty happy with my first quilting project. It is quite addicting!

Advent calendar progress

As promised, I am posting an update with the progress of my advent calendar. I finished the quilting this morning. Now I need to bind it and decide how I want to hang it.

I really should have followed the advice of a friend and quilted it with straight stitches but I like a challenge. I am also a perfectionist so I am a little dissappointed with the uneven stitches. lol I need much more practice. Also, I am aware that the numbers are not in order. As I said before, I like a challenge and I like to challenge my children. I think it will be fun for them to find the correct pocket each day.

Ready to quilt

My advent calendar is ready to quilt! I am a bit nervous! I have learned one thing about quilting from this project so far. You have to be meticulous about the measurements and cutting! My poor pockets are wonky! That's okay, it doesn't look too bad for a first timer. ;-)

Trying my hand at quilting

I have been making clothing for a little over a year now. I feel like it is time to step out and try something different. I absolutely LOVE Christmas so when I found this cute advent calendar on SewMamaSew's blog I had to try it. I have created all the pockets, I am now piecing it together. I don't know the technical terms yet. lol I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Halloween Special

Stop by my Facebook page for a special code! Mosspink

Earflap hat

This earflap hat was made from the purple yarn I posted a few days ago.

Yarn dying

I love yarn. I have wanted to experiment with dying yarn but I was a bit apprehensive. I bit the bullet and bought some greener shades dyes. I was very pleased with the way it turned out.

New items available now!!

Trunk show

I am excited to announce the first ever mosspink trunk show!!! We will have a small fashion show and many items will be available for purchase. I will be debuting my new Timeless Collection along with holiday ruffle skirts and hair accessories. Visit my Facebook fanpage for more information!

Timeless....

New for Fall 2010.......The Timeless Collection.



These classic circle twirl skirts fall just above the knee. They offer the same elastic waist available in all of my skirts. This timeless collection of twirl skirts will be available in sophisticated prints and solids. The petticoat is not included but can be purchased separately. The petticoat is a circle skirt with 2 rows of off white eyelet lace.

More upcycling

I made another attempt at refashioning/upcycling. I really like the results and hope to offer these in the shop this Fall.

Refashioned

I've recently found the refashioned clothing love. The environmentalist in me hates to throw out clothing that has a small stain or rip. So, I've begun refashioning my salvageable clothing into gorgeous items for my daughter.

This is a shirt that had a small stain on the collar, refashioned into a stylish shirred top for my sweet daughter.

Grand Opening....tomorrow!!

Don't forget about mosspink's hyenacart Grand Opening tomorrow at noon! In the mean time, stop by and check out the items that will be available. While you're there why not enter to win a ruffle skirt!

New skirts

I added a few new skirts to the shop this week.

Boys item

Finally, an item for the boys! I'm so excited about this. My boys are jealous that I am always making clothes for their sister. I finally made something for them! I love these board shorts. The pattern is by Figgy's Studio. I am in love with this fabric also! My husband thinks it is too girly.....what does he know? lol

New items and more skirts

I listed some new items today......flower pony os! My daughter and I LOVE these!

Easter Dress

I created a beautiful Easter Dress for my sweet girl. However, she didn't want to wear it on Easter! I made the best of it anyway. We went to a beautiful place and did a photo shoot. Easter outfits are more for our pleasure than the kids anyway! lol

SALE

All hats in my shop are on sale today and tomorrow! $15 each (regular price: $20)

They're back!

I have been working on my Spring Collection. I have reintroduced tops to my line! I love the fit. They look great with jeans or leggings! They pair perfectly with my new flower hats. ;-)

Spring hats

I'm working on a new hat pattern for Spring.

Are you ready for Spring??

I am over all of the snow we have received this winter! We have received a little of 200" of snow this season! I have had alot of time to sew and work on my Spring collection. I listed a few items in the shop this week and hope to add more soon!
