DIY Tent Weights

We recently purchase a new event tent for this year out at Portland Saturday Market. We were pricing out weights to purchase for our new Event Tent
and found that they are very expensive. Each tent leg is required to have 20 pounds to help stabilize the tent. We found a few weights that we liked but they were outside of our budget. We took

Teal Towel Wrap with Butterflies

This is a new towel wrap design. This one was created on a teal terry towel. I've added a pink
casing down the front with a matching rose ribbon around the top. I created a new design with butterflies and swirls in various pinks.

New Towel Wrap IV - Final

I thought after a whole month and a half
I would show you the final version of the first towel wrap. 

This towel wrap was finished the day before we took it out to Portland Saturday Market. PSM approved towels wraps as a new product for us out there. It was approved in the morning and it was sold by afternoon along with two other towel wraps we took out there that day. 

Never fear, I've already made another one similar to this one.

Vegetable Garden

This is our greenhouse, isn't it cute!

My grandpa grew up as a farmer in Arkansas. He was in his 90's
and still growing vegetables out on his farm here in Oregon every year. He was giving us advise last year on what we needed to do or not do to grow some vegetables. He died a few months ago. Every time I go

New Towel Wrap Part III

As you can see we have added an Eiffel Tower to the bottom of the towel wrap. The Eiffel Tower was embroidered in black.

After we got the Eiffel Tower embroidered onto the towel wrap we felt there was something missing. We need to add something that links the Fleur de Lis design at the top of the towel to the Eiffel Tower at the bottom. We are not sure what exactly but we will figure something out, I'm sure. ;)

New Towel Wrap Part II

In our last posting we showed you the pink and black towel wrap we started making for our Portland Saturday Market product line. 
Now we are starting the embroidery. So far we have the Fleur De Lis at an angle in the upper corner. We are keeping to the black theme with the embroidery.

New Towel Wrap

We have been working on a towel wrap for the past two weeks. This is our first one for our new product line for Portland Saturday Market. As you can see this one is in dark pink and black. We are using a plush pink terry towel. So far we have black binding on each of the edges and a pretty ruffle ribbon for the top. The bottom is surged and hemmed. There is sewn in-cased elastic in the back to make this wearable for a few sizes. This one will fit a size 6 - 14. The towel wrap has a Velcro, hook and loop closure.
