So when you open it up, it "resembles" and oval. Next, (with material still folded in half) fold bottom, straight edge in an accordion fashion; then stick your pin through all layers. I used basic straight pins.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once the pin is securely through all layers, fan the fabric out, so that it looks like a flower petal. Then simply insert pin into ball. Continue in this fashion until you have covered the ball. I used many different patterns, but I think it would also be beautiful with the same fabric covering the ball.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lastly, I used a piece of grosgrain ribbon (cut to desired length) and secured with a pin.</div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvrvN7frpCqGhjM1S6_xKZQxGz4uVKy5OHOAlNLDzxIQSDBDl95JCAkEMV4CICO2QlpACnFu4aNwD5j6oVrzDWzgEM1OldfbmZ6Bk3l0IczyHjLi_7a9HaQyuue9LjdlZiR4GCmPXAyY/s1600/IMG_6033.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHvrvN7frpCqGhjM1S6_xKZQxGz4uVKy5OHOAlNLDzxIQSDBDl95JCAkEMV4CICO2QlpACnFu4aNwD5j6oVrzDWzgEM1OldfbmZ6Bk3l0IczyHjLi_7a9HaQyuue9LjdlZiR4GCmPXAyY/s200/IMG_6033.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579526889233312658" /></a>And there you have it.

Saturday, February the 12th.<div><br /></div><div>First of all, I'm going to be honest. I'm beyond happy that this show is in Florida. I need a little sunshine in my life, on my face, my body....everywhere. I'm growing a bit weary of the cold, snow, and temps never getting above 35.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Secondly...I know it's going to be a really fun show. A High School acquaintance of mine, Michelle Parparian has a hand in putting this show together. So, if she's still as funny, crazy and original as she used to be back in the day...it'll be good.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, if your in the area, come out for a visit. Tons of vintage and handmade items.

I took a creativity course from her af ew months ago, and this quote has just followed me around ever since. It resonated with me, it fit with where I am in my life. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">"<em>You must give up the life you planned, in order to live the life that is waiting for you."</em></div><br /><div align="right"><em>Joseph Campbell</em></div><br /><div align="right"><em></em></div><br /><div align="left">Aren't we all a little guilty of too much control? I know I can be. Especially since starting <a href="http://sugarkids.etsy.com/">Sugar</a>.</div><br /><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Actually, maybe it's gotten a bit worse since then. I've felt the need to have a plan, for everything, sometimes feeling out of control if I didn't. One of the hardest things for me to give up was well..doing everything. When <a href="http://sugarkids.etsy.com/">Sugar</a> got to the point that I just couldn't produce EVERYTHING by myself, I had to start looking for help. And boy, letting go of seeing every single stitch made wasn't pretty. I'm sure my wonderful, fabulous, awesome seamstress' had times where they wanted to tell me to shut up! Or yes Caroline, for the 100th time...I GOT IT! </div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">It took time for me to get to the point of letting go with that area of my life, but I did..and it has made me stop and look at other areas that need letting go of. (Is Colin ever going to hit the clothes hamper????)</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">So, again Thank You <a href="http://scoutie%20girl.com/">Tara</a>! Because everyday that I remember that quote, I learn to let go a little bit more, learn to take the time to look around and see what's "in store" for me.</div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"><em></em></div>Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189429614694674339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903383484053621624.post-17165508831143148342010-12-10T07:02:00.000-08:002010-12-10T07:22:43.943-08:00Hot Iron Handmade!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn7i9hfO-9951-Gbq8EHjfxqvwVDUC0fIihCPOufDn7z1yiiYtcR8xaFgqlSmEh7Xpe5skclhOZWRD4k__I717UpO38wddOcxYdZpQNdoqP_XWYsj84y-n6I-kRueNHqocSrgeXAZAB2Q/s1600/hotironhandmade%255B1%255D.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 95px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549071133243486706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn7i9hfO-9951-Gbq8EHjfxqvwVDUC0fIihCPOufDn7z1yiiYtcR8xaFgqlSmEh7Xpe5skclhOZWRD4k__I717UpO38wddOcxYdZpQNdoqP_XWYsj84y-n6I-kRueNHqocSrgeXAZAB2Q/s320/hotironhandmade%255B1%255D.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#660000;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhae7g4EBHZXDQjSIIihr9vOK3TgcHjpOvHA4xWuEXBjQuo4vShJG4rb_VPyljplbCpdStB1pMldGEVzSX8edBoQnKnExBsEOJacAS_WUu5G4sxFr9rwmR9ID7J4nrwgiHWjS3c_Gqb64/s1600/hot+iron+studios.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 120px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 129px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549069641924419442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhae7g4EBHZXDQjSIIihr9vOK3TgcHjpOvHA4xWuEXBjQuo4vShJG4rb_VPyljplbCpdStB1pMldGEVzSX8edBoQnKnExBsEOJacAS_WUu5G4sxFr9rwmR9ID7J4nrwgiHWjS3c_Gqb64/s320/hot+iron+studios.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div align="left"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none" src="http://www.blogger.com/" />The folks at <a href="http://hotironstudios.com/">Hot iron Studios </a>have graciously decided to sponsor the <a href="http://hotironstudios.com/">Hot Iron Handmade</a>.</div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><span style="color:#660000;">WHAT: A holiday art & craft show.

The <a href="http://upstatewomensshow.com/">Upstate Womens</a> Show. 8000 women or more expected to attend. To say I'm a bit nervous is an understatement. Honored as well. I hope everyone will love what Sugar has to offer. Sweet, simple, handmade clothing. I just love what I get to do everyday. And...even though I don't always seem to radiate it..I am blessed.<br /><br />I would also like to talk about the show I'm doing Labor Day weekend. In Highlands... A friend of mine (Cynthia Strain) puts on a FABULOUS show, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. And, I am OH SO LUCKY to be a part of it. Wonderful artist and crafters abound. Be sure to check it out...Saturday, and Sunday. Labor Day weekend. Pine Street Park, Highlands North Carolina.<br /><br />Of course you can always find me at <a href="http://cashiersvillage.blogspot.com">Cashiers Village Hillside Cottages.</a><br /><br />And last but most certainly not least, I would like to take the opportunity to THANK the amazing women who support me in my endeavor.<br /><br />Natalie, Vick, Stephanie, Susan, and...of course my MOM (Ann). Thank you so much for your willingness to do...well pretty much anything. Stitch, listen to me bitch, make buttons, man my shop, pick up random items..this list is really endless. Thank you for supporting, and believing in Sugar. Without you, I'm just a good idea. I love you guys.<br /><br />Now..come out and shop!<br /><img style="border: medium none;" src="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=4903383484053621624" com="" albums="" rr70="" studiochicdesign="" jpg="" />Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189429614694674339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903383484053621624.post-59722001043515786642010-08-03T06:40:00.001-07:002010-08-03T06:57:44.032-07:00Fall Fabrics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3pHlvaeEopWg6J4ZTxyzniuGHUg-KctWIpPCyp4pv0VE2HLnt9pBqhXRgnP2SOl9L-vxcxSobIM0zOWHMcwMbRzFzCb4MN0coagaV_dBHw5wukR4N-tbBfih2azDou7mR4zOq0Wb9Gz0/s1600/ah3.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 105px; height: 105px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3pHlvaeEopWg6J4ZTxyzniuGHUg-KctWIpPCyp4pv0VE2HLnt9pBqhXRgnP2SOl9L-vxcxSobIM0zOWHMcwMbRzFzCb4MN0coagaV_dBHw5wukR4N-tbBfih2azDou7mR4zOq0Wb9Gz0/s320/ah3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501180849702540594" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm really excited about the arrivals of my fall fabrics.

I mean most people would think I've got it made, I work from home, and I do what I love. That I am grateful for. But..sometimes, I just feel sort of alone....disconnected, forgotten, unappreciated. And about that time.....<br /><br />I look over and see these two. I know they're so cute. And they are not even mine. I am lucky enough to have a good friend of mine, Mike who (by chance) moved in next door. And with him came these two. About the time they leave for work, Pabst (yes the beer) and Te Bo (not sure if thats spelled right) Can be found making the morning wake up,.. your coffee's not that important,... give me a goodie call. They are the best! We go for walks, have major scratch sessions, and an occasional nap together. All the perks of having a dog but, at the end of the day off they go. Well...except for when they smell the grill, or hear the refrigerator door open.<br /><img style="border: medium none;" src="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=4903383484053621624" com="" albums="" rr70="" studiochicdesign="" jpg="" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcte8wfrQLE8wkamHws_30ZEC_kuH6M3bUWHY9R2ZipYdM_UWENmqtp1vFr1vhRgwUY6YoyGpMEMppFMfL8las4h16LYexQA1Q54rT_0a-deLZHEUR3opFdG94Gx7YlaXAPOAEREPmT4/s1600/IMG_4959.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcte8wfrQLE8wkamHws_30ZEC_kuH6M3bUWHY9R2ZipYdM_UWENmqtp1vFr1vhRgwUY6YoyGpMEMppFMfL8las4h16LYexQA1Q54rT_0a-deLZHEUR3opFdG94Gx7YlaXAPOAEREPmT4/s320/IMG_4959.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471282722691979282" border="0" /></a>Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189429614694674339noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903383484053621624.post-88317837805107481752010-04-26T06:26:00.000-07:002010-04-26T07:25:08.069-07:00Sugar at Cashiers Village Hillside Shops!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGS9coRueNIWGIxd9lQjPHouS3GQ1U5qlBc3DcansF6bjVNS1hYh2Shh18Di-ytGuL0d58INFhBO1e-Qsrkw1MG3dHTDIW3-gZmjjnqvGLd1PDUTDc8AB9Qjoj120EO2icKJvpNB2yFUs/s1600/HillsideShops1.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGS9coRueNIWGIxd9lQjPHouS3GQ1U5qlBc3DcansF6bjVNS1hYh2Shh18Di-ytGuL0d58INFhBO1e-Qsrkw1MG3dHTDIW3-gZmjjnqvGLd1PDUTDc8AB9Qjoj120EO2icKJvpNB2yFUs/s320/HillsideShops1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464449631331022642" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSP2JpmXh74J-bNsG1OEj3ii2vMyjJyXxGAW30biWyl0rpwYFSrdaWEjRMNgkGvyaksGz2VF1G8R1JEqZICW0AP_XfqSOpoNnv3kUtrw9iOHsAxulXRLhja5Pie16uLSbx-OjVRam0kZY/s1600/WeiszEarthworks.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsiDiaW5XT0iiZ6jNybamO6iGhJl2qgyB2yxXp-WA0sQUlKWGvxHU6JSvKl3OPaxFjUkIazC7bTWi78hK-31q2Pr-q1Myawv-tyvxsbaDnjkocbuLJrn-cXqF0taRP1OPt_ehg8aan0jE/s1600/HillsideShopsSnow.jpg"><br /></a><br />I'm so excited about being a part of the Cashiers Hillside Cottages this season!<br /><br />For those of you who are not in the "know" about these cute as anything cottages... here ya go.<br /><br />They are a collection of eleven sweet little cottages.
