Embroidering birthday dresses, Doing Custom Embroidery, selling Girl Scout cookies and being a mommy, life is good!

One of the birthday dresses I did today

Here it's me again to let you know I am still hanging around :)

Oh boy it has been crazy on Zee's little corner of the world. among Family, Embroidea Custom Embroidery , My First Birthday Dress, Pilot International, the Non Profit Organization I belong to and friends I  have been juggling  back and fourth. Sometimes I have no clue if I am going or coming LOL. No I am not complaining just thinking out loud :)

Zee has been embroidering a lot of  Birthday dresses lately and lots and  lots of Custom embroidery work. I think my Customers have decided to test me the  two last weeks. First the National Guard soldiers with some custom order for gift and yes it was to reproduce a flag so that they could  give as a gift to their fellows who are retiring. That was a challenge, I worked on the for a while but when I was finally done, I was so proud of myself...  at the end it is all worth of the hard work. Seeing the satisfaction on my Customer's face. Now, tonight I am working on a Golf bag. http://www.myfirstbirthdaydress.com/Silver-and-Pink-Polyester-Princess-Birthday-dress-p/d202.htm and this is how my life has been going LOL.

Trying to hoop the golf bag

When the Customer called me I told him it was impossible to embroider on a golf bag, I suggested patches but, he said no, he wanted me to go ahead and try it. Oh dear Lord, my hands and finger are so sore but it has coming along so well. What a challenge. I work for a while on the bag and then take a break to embroider a birthday dress

I guess that all this work is what keeps me going. Juliana took a picture of me on top of the table trying to hoop one of the flaps of the bag.. We struggle and laugh at the same time because  you cant imagine what Zee goes through to have all the beautiful embroidery work done :)

Also, other then all those work, I have been trying to get the word about My First Birthday Dress website out there. Oh boy... That is another challenge. I think I need a vacation LOL

My work  and the competirors

Did I tell you guys also that I have been helping my daughter Isabella who is a brownie to sell Girls Scout Cookies. We had a goal to sell 100 boxes and so far we have sold almost 300! Yep, I want to teach my kids that we have to always shoot to the moon, the worst that could happen is to lend among the stars as the old saying :)

Well, I better hurry and finish working on my golf bag and will  be back soon. BTW Would you like to buy some delicious Girl Scout cookies ? ;-) LOL

Enjoy life and smile no matter what.

Life is a beautiful thing.

 

God Bless

Happy Valentines Day from the First Birthday Dress lady :)

It's Valentines Day. I have just finished embroidering a last minute Valentines gift.

Oh well, it made me happy to be able to help that lady to have her gift, as she said "just perfect"

How has been your Valentines Day? Mine has been really good. I was able to get some work done, even if I haven't been feeling that great.

 Isabella, our eight years old girl comes from school with a cold and three days later she is all good to go but mommy, oh boy it hangs with me for a while.

I am so glad it is just a cold though... It will run it's course and I will be feeling great again :)

Nothing special happening in my corner of the world, daddy took Isabella to the mall to help her Girl Scout Troop sell cookies and seems like they have been doing pretty well.

Tamy, our oldest daughter who is  twenty two, drove to Saint Louis for the weekend. Oh boy with all this snow on the ground it really worries me... I guess that is what we all mommies are for, to sit, worry and pray for our children.

No, we aren't doing anything special for Valentines Day. All I feel like doing is getting under a blanket and cuddling on the couch with our fur baby :)

Dear Lord, please bring our Springtime back, I need to see some green, I need to get out of the house a get some sun, plant my vegetables in my garden. I really need that dear Lord.

I am not the kind who asks too much, I am more like thanking for what I can get but, I am done with this cold weather now...

We have been changing everything here in the  Studio. Now, our living room became the office, our dinning room became the room where we keep the first birthday dresses to be embroidered and all the embroidered done and my embroidery room has more space now.

I have been trying hard to figure it out how to drive traffic to my website. I have been researching, reading, watching videos, etc. There are so many things to be learned and so little time.

I wish I could wake up one day with the answer to my questions... So many ideas but not quite sure to to make them work.

Meanwhile, I will keep on working..

I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day! Enjoy some time with the ones you love, today is all we have gotten, let make it count.

Take care kids...

Blessings
