Surf's Up! at Boutique Vixxens

Boutique Vixxens June auction starts tomorrow afternoon. The theme is Surf's Up! There are so many Cute items listed. I have two different auction listings set and ready to go. One is a pair of Beach Princess toddler's flip flops. The other is a necklace and sunglasses Hello Kitty themed set. There are many cute items listed. My favorite is a cute baby mermaid set that would be an adorable prop for a photographer. Please stop by and check out all the great items these ladies have created!

Surf's Up!

Things have been busy here lately. We did our first show at Legacy Traditional School in Casa Grande AZ. It was a fun day. We got to see all the kids and mom's who love our products. It was nice to see fans face to face for once. I think Sweet As Steel will be doing more shows and festivals in the future! The store front on our facebook has gone over a make over and many items are being added. We'll have lots of new items as well as some of our fan favorites. We're working on a big sale too, I'll post more info on that soon! Stop by our fan page and say hi! We love hearing from our fans!!

In A Pear Tree has moved to a larger location. They are just a couple doors down from their original location. It's nice because they now have more space for classes. And if you are really nice I may host a class or two this summer. Then you can make a little Sweet As Steel of your own. We recently added pettiskirts, lacee rompers, and zipper pulls to our stock in there recently. Look for feather extension kits this summer!

We have once again partnered up with the wonderful ladies at Boutique Vixxens for a fantastic auction. Every item in the auction will be made to go along with our theme, Surf's Up! We're all very excited to share our creations with all of you! These ladies have worked hard to make some amazing items for the auction. The Auction will be held on the Boutique Vixxens fan page. It will begin Friday, June 1st at 4:00pm PST and it will end Sunday, June 3rd at 4:00pm PST. To participate in the auction, all you need to do is like the fan page, then leave a comment with your bid on the photo of the item, along with your bid amount put your email address. When the auction is over the Boutique for that item will send the highest bidder an invoice through paypal. All bids increase in $.50 increments. You can bid as often as you like, on as many items as you'd like. I hope you can stop by!

A change is coming :)

I have neglected this blog far too long. So I am going to change things up a bit. When I started this blog I was just a stay at home mom who made crafts. I tried to share fun tutorials, as well as items I had been working on. But since then my little hobby snowballed into a growing business. I have decided that I will use this blog to keep my customers informed on any news related to my shop. As well as posting the random tutorial from time to time. So to start off I am going to share some pictures of some of the newer items I now make for my shop :)

Homemade Christmas and Birthdays

My husband and I never planned out when we were having our kids. It just so happens that between Dec. 20th and Jan. 24th is all three of our children's birthdays and Christmas! So I always try to find deals through out the year and such to save us some money when trying to throw together Christmas and Birthdays. Well this year I didn't buy much at all. So here it is half way into Nov and I have NO Christmas gifts and only Birthday gifts for one child. My youngest is going to be three in Jan. I remembered that a couple years ago I got on a felt food kick and made a bunch of donuts. I also got together with a few crafty moms and did an exchange. Her brother loved the stuff. I had made him a camp fire with all the fixin's for S'mores. It was adorable. So I started looking for stuff for my daughter. I came across this fantastic shop on etsy with amazing patterns Gulf Coast Cottage. There are things for boys and girls. There are a couple different specials too. One is a buy 4 tutorials get one free. Or there is a bundle set on their store front that is for 10 patterns of your choice for $45. What a great deal! Thanks to these patterns I now have my soon to be 3 yr old's birthday gifts planned out. If you have a little one who loves to play pretend check out this shop and their adorable patterns!
