Happy Halloween!!!!!

Folks go nuts over Halloween! I personally go nuts over the candy. Which I will TRY not to do this year!!! I swear this is the day that kicks off the season of winter weight gain. Every year I put on between 5-10 and that is NOT cool! I drop it again in the Spring but the ups and downs is a pain in the neck.

Nyla and I are going trick-or-treating today. She isn't going to be anything special by way of costume this year. I did'nt have an ounce of time to make her a costume. I did make a cute Halloween outfit that of course she probably won't be able to fit next year so that is what she will trick-or-treat in. It's cute and it's appropriate, and it may even get me more BIZNESS!!!!!! YES! I've already handed out several cards to admirers.

Look at this shot too.....I couldn't get the pic directly on the screen so follow the link.

Here's Nyla from last year's Halloween. Of course she was Lil Red Riding Hood. Cute!

Pillows, Pillow, Pillows! Up to my ears in plush!!

I'm a bad blogger I know. It's part of my ADD and general lack of organization! LOL.

I have been up to my EARS in pillows! Jazzi Girlz latest offering is our Identity Pillows! They are fun, cute, and colorful! Each one is handmade, unique and they are great keepsakes! I have been swamped with orders! Yes, the pillows are a lot of work with all the details, applique and patchwork, but I do love the fact that I'm creating something that children will love, cherish and keep (hopefully) forever! Meghan, the daughter of one of my clients is so in love with hers that she insists on bringing it in the car everywhere she goes! She clutches it dearly and THAT is part of why I do what I do. Sewing not only gives me a creative outlet, my clothing and other creations stand out and are as unique as the children I design for!

Take a look at some of the examples. Again, each one is uniquely individual and never duplicated. I use lots of decorative trims, buttons and ribbon to add the "Jazzi" factor to each one. And YES I do make them for boys even though I don't design clothing for boys.









I'm taking a limited number of orders for these pillows so that they can be done before Christmas. If you are interested in a custom order of your own please email me at Tanayaparker1977@hotmail.com. Each pillow is $35 ($5 extra for names over 7 letters). You have your choice of colors as well!

* I take out-of-state orders too, but an extra charge of $6.50 for shipping is added
