Latest Projects/ New Product

So I have been playing around with some ideas for the hooded towels and with my moms help this is what we came up with. The bows that you see in the picture is what the back of the towel looks like.


And for those who have been wanting to see them, here are the capes. Each one takes me about 4 hours to make right now, so hopefully the better I get the less time it will take. The appliques take the longest amount of time because they are all hand-crafted. And of course I had to add in my sweet Trevor since he was more than willing to model for me, He absolutely loves running around in a cape and pitches an a#1 fit when I take it off:).

Snooks Update!

So I am way excited. I was able to finally get my business into one of the biggest Trade Shows in Texas. It is called the Canton Trade Days in Canton, TX. If anyone wants more information on the show, you can visit www.cantontradedays.com. The show takes place once a month catering to 100,000-300,000 people per day. People come from out of state just for this show! The show is 4 days!!! I will be featuring in Lot#5 Pavilion#3 next to a restaurant named Happy Days East. So if you are in for some fun and a nice shopping treat, come join us! The dates of this next show is July 30-August 2. I will not be in the same booth every month because I am not a permanent vendor yet, so watch my blog for booth location updates each month. Thanks for everyones' support along the way:) Depending on how well this show goes and how much I will have to sew this next month, the full blown website should be up soon for purchasing customers. Check back with us soon at www.snooksncrannys.

Note to my wonderful customers: A drawing will take place at the end of this next show. For every $50 spent at my booth, your name will be entered for a give-away.

Latest Project

So I have decided that all of the new stuff that I want to try for the business will be tested out with Trev first. I have been looking for a laundry basket for his room since before he was born that is way cute, but still boyish and different. Any luck...not at all. So I found this way awesome basket for $10 and all of the material was left over from his room(my mom did all of the nursery bedding, crib skirt and curtains herself) and here it is. I made my own pattern from scratch and my mom guided me on the sewing and even helped a bit. I am totally in love with it. It is different, it goes perfect with his room, it is way cute and boyish all at the same time. What do you think?

Some Friendly Quotes










Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?
They blink together, they move together, they cry together,
They see things together and they sleep together.
BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER ....
Sometimes, that's what friendship is.

A friend will bail you out of jail, a BEST friend will be sitting
there next to you saying, "Man, we really messed up this time"!

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the
world walks out."
