New design just listed...

BOO!
I found out since my last post that the caterpillars are armyworms (we think). Needless to say Jeff did some massive spraying (and now it is pouring down rain). We heard they will eat your yard UP!

Caterpillar Invasion...

Here is a new AC design I hope to list later today (when I get all the sizes from Jeff). We also did one more Halloween design but I'm waiting for the 5x7 to sample it. It's cute! I like this Owl - 11 steps and very simple! We've finished all of our custom work so now it's Holiday time - we have lots we want to do!!
Hopefully you can click on the below pics to enlarge. I got more Stephen Joseph backpacks over the weekend. They are SO CUTE!! Both of my boys had them (G still does) and they are wonderful for toddlers! Anyway... I have the following available for sale for $26 which includes personalization: Princess, Tutu, Airplane & Train.

And on a more interesting note... this weekend Jeff e-mailed me at the beach w/ a photo of Browder holding a few caterpillars. I didn't thinking anything of it until today when I counted 28 crawling around my garage (on the brick and in the driveway). I JUST counted over 10 on my back patio. Did a bus drop them off? Why are they here? They are FREAKING ME OUT!!

I spent the weekend in Orange Beach with 10 girls from my bunko group. We had a fabulous time!! We ate our meals at Shrimp Basket (Foley), Cosmos & Cobalt (Orange Beach) and finished off at Lulu's yesterday (which is maybe considered Gulf Shores??). All excellent!! We go on a summer trip every August and for some of us, we've been going for 10-11 years!! Once a year doesn't seem like enough for a fun girls weekend!?

And... how obnoxious is the slideshow?? It's not exactly as professional and neat as I'd like it (some of the pics are off center), but it was a lot easier than adding all those pics back on the blog! The majority of them are last year's Embroidery Boutique designs! If you don't see what you're looking for e-mail me! We'll be adding lots of Holiday designs as well as soon as possible (Applique Cafe)!

Tiara

I just added a new tiara picture to Applique Cafe, Etsy, Yahoo Group and now here! Jeff corrected the right 2 "prongs" last night so I had to sew out a new sample! Much better! The right 2 were not as pointy as the other 3 so we corrected it. It was actually the artwork we used which had it that way (uneven). We've got a cute owl to sample this afternoon and I hope to have it listed tonight. It's very simple (11 steps I think) and hopefully different (enough) than all the other owls out there! We also have a few Christmas designs and will hopefully get those done next week. We are still working on 3 or 4 custom designs for someone too, and I'm leaving town in the morning (woo hoo) so we'll see how much Jeff can get done while wrangling 3 kids all weekend.
Mallory had her 18 mo checkup this morning. Luckily my sis in law kept the boys. It was quite the challenge trying to make sure she didn't touch ANYTHING during the hour and 1/2 we were there! Of course then we went to eat at No Way Jose and to Target so they probably picked up some germs there. Knock on wood no flu yet at the Gulledges! It's all over Facebook, so I'm just waiting...
