So, just like everyone else I am also doing a Black Friday Sale.  I have never liked getting out in the crowds to fight my way through a store to get those envied sales items.  So, I always have resorted to the internet.  It is my easy way out - no stores, no people, no lines.  Anyway yesterday I told you that I was working on a elf Christmas stocking and here it is....

Each stocking is personalized.

I also have this peasant tunic list on my Facebook fan page.  I made one of these for my daughter, my niece and my granddaughter to wear to church last Sunday and they thought they were just awesome in them.

I love the detail these fabric flowers add to this dress.

I can't wait to start on the new outfits I have planned for the girls to wear Sunday.  I have been so busy the last few months with homeschooling and I have been blessed to have so many orders come my way that the girls winter wardrobe had to be put on hold.  Now is their time....in between orders and school of course LOL.
I hope you all have a great weekend, don't fight the crowds too much, and be safe!!!

I am back up and at em..I've have been working non-stop (seams like it---NOT really) the last few days trying to get caught up.  Most of my orders have been t-shirts, but every now and then I get to throw a pair of ruffled pants in to match a shirt.  Today I finished up an outfit I've been working on for a customer. and I am absolutely amazed. I LOVE IT!!!  I'm a sucker for cute outfits, but this one is too C U T E!!!  I've been sewing for my children for years and I love tradition, but I love all these new boutique items that are coming out too.  Most of the time if I do something that's not tradition its because someone request them..which is where this one came from.  Only now I think my girls are going to have one for Christmas themselves now, instead of something more tradition (as usual).  Anyway enough talk....here's the picture


Ruffled Sleeves with rick rack at top and bottom.  Bow on each arm.
Ribbon Santa Applique


This is a three piece set that includes a swing top that has adjustable straps, ruffled sleeve t-shirt that has rick rack and bows on each sleeve, and ruffled pants to match.  Honestly my photography lacks BIG time..and these pictures come no where to doing this outfit justice.  However if your interested in this outfit or one like it, feel free to come by my etsy shop and check out this listing.

See you soon!!

I love Christmas.  I love the food, family, decorating, the smells...it makes me feel all warn and cozy inside.  I don't want to skip Thanksgiving though, so I'm working on fall orders.

Love Love Love This...Brown zebra print and orange.


I have started on Christmas T-shirt with a few outfits to follow............When I saw this design from applique corner I had to have it.  I kidda hem hawed around for a few days then I dove in with both feet and some ribbon.


 I just had to do something a little different so I made this shirt just because (my kids don't like it when I say that "just because").

These were a customer order who absolutely loved them.  He also has a set like this with a pumpkin instead of a Christmas tree.
If you like anything you see here head on over to my facebook page and check out my page and my e-shop.  Most of my orders are custom, so don't be afraid to ask.

Have a fabulous Night!!!

Today has been a long day and a very productive one as well.  I was such a good mom. Started out by making homemade biscuits and gravy, then went on to their school work..  During quite time I started on some mending I had to do (hem pants for my wonderful oldest daughter).  While doing all this I managed to straighten the house while my also wonderful husband washed clothes.  This all done by lunch time and the day just went on from there.  To make a long day a little shorter I managed to get a little sewing in.
This is the cutest top I think I have ever made!!!

This was my favorite project of the day....ruffled socks.

This was actually an outfit I made Tuesday night, but its so cute I had to share it.  Nella wore it to the fall festival at the preschool and everyone had hissy fits over it!!!!



 So now its 11:30 and I am exhausted and ready for bed, but I can't seem to stop thinking about what I want to start on tomorrow.  I'm sure it will come to me when I sit down to my sewing machine and start to work TOMORROW.

Have a great night

I have been trying to come up with an idea for a sewing tutorial..just haven't been able to settle down to do one.  I want to do one that is different from everything that is on the web these days.  There are tons of peasant top, pillowcase, and pants tutorials, so I really don't think we need another one.  Though you guys might want to throw a few suggestions out there.


Have a blessed day

How about some game day inspiration for those of us here in the great state of Alabama.  We are definitely a house divided, but we all love our football.

Come on over to Nellaboos and order one for your little one.  I can also put these logos on t-shirts and Jon Jon's for boys.

We have had a very long day.  My daughter has been sick for the last few weeks and we ended up going back to the doctor today.  I love the cold weather, but I'm not crazy about it and the rain together.  I have two new designs to post so I'll get on with it......The first is an older one from www.embroidery-boutique.com that I have used for a couple of years.  It works well for a boys or girls shirt.  Just add a little bow to its antler and you have a girl reindeer.  The second is another new one from www.planetapplique.com.  All childrens white long sleeve tees are just $15...Adults are $20.  If you would like a different color shirt there will be an extra $3 charge per shirt.  I'm not sure what my cut off date for custom orders will be, so go ahead and place your order now.  Have a blessed evening.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We went to my mom's house and had a wonderful time.  The kids including the adult kids had a great time.  They all play football in the yard until after dark.  My 2 year old granddaughter couldn't understand why she couldn't get out there and play with the big kids.  She had fun learning how to ride a scooter though so for a time she was content.  It will be a day they all will remember.


So now its time to get back to the sewing and embroidering.  I have a few new designs that I purchased from www.plantapplique.com over Thanksgiving so I'm working on t-shirt orders.  If you are interested in a cute Christmas shirt visit my facebook fan page and order one.  Just post or send me an email me at nellaboos@gmail.com.









My facebook link is http://www.facebook.com/appliquecafe?v=photos#!/pages/Guin-AL/Nellaboos/120556936371.  I will be posting more designs over the next few days.

Daddy's Little Girl
















Love these new spring outfits. They fit the season so well. Like a breeze of fresh air. The girls loved hunting their eggs in them Easter Sunday.













Had to look like the big girls.

This is such a beautifully designed top. A talented lady from Carolina Fair Designs designed this magnificent top that can also be made into a dress. If your interested in the pattern or a pre-made top or dress visit either of our etsy stores.


Pair the top with a pair of jeans or these wonderful ruffled pants that are pictured.

We're getting ready to go to the beach on Monday. This week has been so hectic trying to get everything in order to leave. Grass had to be cut, house has to be cleaned, and most important the girls need pretty clothes to wear to the beach. The boys are too old for me to sew for. Even though I wish I still could. Emily says my clothes make her the prettiest girl at school. She's beautiful, but I don't know that my clothes do that. Anyway I'm trying to spread my wings and create some things that are a little less traditional for me anyway. Most of what I sew is tradition, so I'm trying to be a little more creative.

This is the first one.......




I love these pants !!!!!!! They are soooo cute. I made these for my best friends daughter. Their grandfather was filming a commercial and they wanted new outfits to wear.








This was the one for the youngest. She loves yellow.
I just love all those ruffles. They are so girly.
