Fruits of a Journey continued.....

I found this wild and fabulous blog this morning and fell in love with it and her....JuJu!!!http://www.bellejuju.blogspot.com/. SHE is so full of life and has the same loves as I in other artists....She loves Gibbous Fashion..and so do I....She loves Magnolia Pearl and so do I............How wonderful is that! 

My journey has been long and scary but I have found over the years that The Big Journey is what we are all to explore, examine, use all the senses for and in the end that is all there is...The Big Journey..that has taught everything we need.

We may enjoy, we may scream and cry, we may love or hate and over time it all becomes mute..for the Universe brings you what you ask for and I have asked for the perfect husband for me and the perfect son for me and the new business I have created.....all just for me. And.....that my friends is what I want to share with you....Prairie Child Design

Prairie Child Design is setting on a rise looking down on the surrounding area and in a sweet little log cabin backed up the woods. There is a rock wall behind it and the land behind the wall is higher. There in the edge of the woods is an old concrete picnic table with seating and it all covered in moss, fallen leaves and the cool moist smells of the woods....can't you see it?

I have wanted this building for years and years and years....and finely, finely the Universe calmly said... yes.  I have worked for two weeks in getting things set up for my little boutique at the edge of the woods, so now finely I am open and ready to show the world just some of the results of my continued journey.
I hope you will enjoy the continued journey with me...Prairie Child

BUSY...BUSY...BUSY.....

                FINELY A DREAM COMES TRUE....MY VERY OWN SHOP.                       WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE......

Stop by my little boutique..PRAIRIE CHILD DESIGN 

It's right off I-65 back behind the Cracker Barrel @
1221 Kelli Dr. #A
Athens, AL

I have been in the process of setting up shop keeping. I found the most wonderful little log cabin and it is in a fantastic location.

I am just starting to get things somewhat organized, SO THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME!!!


 Everything in the front area will be my up-cycled work.. Remember to reuse...recycle and re-purpose.....ALWAYS!!!!

 I really want it to have that old 20's to 30's feel. With just a touch of, 'rolled hard and put up wet', look...if you can imagine that....lol

THE COUNTER..I plan to wrap all my sold clothing...in paper.......            like they use to do back in the day.

 This is going to be a little seating area. I put news paper and old photos on this corner of the shop..to give it that touch of desperation in a brothel fashion.


I mentioned the front area....
There is a back room as well and I will have consignment there.

 My plan is to have all things 'woman'. 
ALL handmade items...such as purses/totes with a vintage look, that special jewelry, wonderful smelling soaps, soy candles that can be used as a lotion,etc...etc...

There is a third room......
I will have my sewing studio at the shop as well. On certain days I will be sewing only and on other days ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING!!!!!

LATEST CREATIONS....

I recently finished this lovely custom jumper and the client loved it.


 She provided the embroidery place mats. They were lovely...I almost hated to cut them up....She tried it on and fell in love....


 This lovely crochet over blouse was a first for me. I used all vintage pieces to create this beautiful top. It is for sale and can be found on my Etsy page.........SOLD


I created this 1920's style shift with a dress and curtain panel. It has a nice flow when you twirl. It can be found on my Etsy page......SOLD


I have been collecting vintage crochet pieces with green for a while and I finely found a dress that would go with the green. It had a second layer so when I cut the hem of the dress to create the blouse I left the
under layer longer to give the new blouse much more umph....lol The neckline, sleeves and waist all have elastic and are very expandable.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED....EMAIL ME....

CHECKING IN...

It has been a few days... since I last posted on here...

Here is an example of my latest work...



              This lovely started out as a double lined lace long john shirt.

 I cut the collar, sleeves and hem off. I ripped the under shirt up and sewed it to the neckline and down the front. I also added a bit of lace here and there. I used some of the cut hem to make the bow tie at the neck.

 After all this I tea dyed it and dried on delicate..

All my clothes can be dried on delicate...as wash and go...no ironing needed. Just something to remember....easy peasy...SOLD
