RAM 11-14-09

We had a gorgeous day Saturday at the the Artist Market. We were fortunate that they had a cancelation and moved us to a really great spot right in the middle of things. The traffic was a little slow but steady, and we ended up doing great!

We have been working on lots of great new designs for Christmas, if you are in need of christmas t's for your kiddos let us know what sizes they are and we would be happy to see what we can do! As of now we are hoping to be at two more markets Dec 5, and the 19th. So there is plenty more opportunity for you to come do some christmas shopping.

We were so happy to have our first international visitor at the market this week. A cousin of mine took a short hop over the pond to come see us at the market. Well she also is here to spend thanksgiving with family, but she had to see everything going on "mom-b".

Peace, Love, Gators.

Happy First Birthday!

One of my oldest friends asked if i would make a T-shirt for her little guy's 1st birthday! What a happy celebration, and what an adorable little guy!

It's not often that you feel like you get to be a part of something special, especially when it is something special in the life of a complete stranger.
This is exactly how I have feel today. I am a part of something special.
I was contacted a while back via e-mail from a girl who had seen our stuff at the Art market. She had the idea of telling her mother and mother-in-law that she was expecting using a custom made mom-b shirt. Of course I loved the idea.
One little hitch, she wasn't pregnant yet. We have e-mailed back and forth over the course of a few weeks, just updates and that sort of thing.
Well happy news, got the go-ahead yesterday and I could hardly wait to get these babies finished and headed to these two new grandmas.

I love the idea that one of my shirts (or two) are a little part of changing someones life in an incredibly happy way.
It kinda brings me back to what really matters in life. I have struggled the past two months with my motivation in sewing. Working so hard and seeing little real rewards for my hard work. I have considered throwing in the towel.
It is this type of sewing that I love, this type that got me hooked in the beginning. Making something for someone where each moment that you put into the piece your thoughts and energy is focused on that person. I thought about this sweet girl and these two grand mama's, about her sweet baby, and about my family.
I am so blessed.

Out with the old and in with the new!

Ok, So yesterday was our last day at Muses Corner, we loved the opportunity to show our things in a store setting but were ultimately disappointed in the marketing and our sales. Maybe it just wasn't the right fit. So, This morning Amy went and picked up all of our things and we will be spending the next few weeks getting ready for the art market October 24th. We have a few things on our calender for the next couple months and are looking forward to getting back out there and some good hard work.

In the mean time, I feel like I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to be introduced to Carol Wanstall. Carol is a good friend of one of our family friends and she owns an adorable gift shop at Atlantic Beach called ShoreThings. She saw our things at Muse and the Market and wanted to sell them in her shop. YAY!

The shop was so cute, all beachy themed things, and of course what's a beach shop without "the Original Bikini Onesie" and some fishie ones for the boys! The shop is located at The North Beach Center on Atlantic across for Aqua East Surf Shop. Check it out if you are out there!

It's fall!

Football season has started and it's time to start thinking about the holidays.

This week will be our last week at Muses Corner in Avondale, our "lease" is up on the 30th and we are anxious to get back to the art market. Stop in, between now and Wednesday to do any last minute shopping.

We are shooting for the 24th of October as our first day back at the market. We can't wait to see all of our Jacksonville friends that have been so supportive over the past few years.

Here at mom-b central things are buzzing, filling team orders, a new shop out at the beach * and we already have orders for christmas. Also some adorable ideas for the next market so be sure and try and come out and see what we have.

*details to follow.

Update and another contest

School is back in full swing and everyone needs something new to dress their little ones in for the upcoming year.

We've got you covered!

Check out our inventory at The Muses Corner located beside Biscottis in The Shops of Avondale. We will only be there until the end of this month then we are back to the Art Market!

We also have some holiday items up there that are sure to go fast, so if you are looking for something for your little one for the holidays, run, don't walk.

Drawing Labor Day:)

mom-b in the mountians

Just got home from a week long vacation in the mountians. Here are a few pictures I snapped of my little guys wearing mom-b.This little whale onesie is still a little to big for my him, but he's growing like a weed.

A little rest after a long hike.

The back says his name like a real jersey.

Muse's Corner

Grand Opening today!
Last night we went to the Artist reception at the new shop in Avondale. AWESOME, is all i have to say! There is a nice representation of all sorts of artists from all over the city.

Our space is this giant bookshelf, which we made adorable..... overflowing with mom-b. Some good friends were also there showcasing their jewelry.

Beautiful Stuff! Good luck ladies!


here is a very small idea of what you will find today at Muses Corner.

My Faves..... the felt stuff, of course (does anyone remember my felting phase :)), pet portraits, adorable purses using Amy butler and other funky fabrics, and some absolutely beautiful photography.

Oh, and I know mom-b followers will remember me mentioning the famous Carmel Pound cake from the market. Check it out!

Drop by Muse's Corner today, for the Grand Opening!

And another one...

When I say another one, I mean another WET Saturday. You may have thought we would have learned our lesson last week but we love this kind of stuff.

See how it appears we are under the bridge in this picture. everything would lead you to believe this but the 6 gallons of water that has accumulated in the top of our tent. Dripping, dripping, dripping on all of our precious stuff.

The very kind and helpful RAM volunteers helped us move to another location. i wish i had a picture of them picking up the entire tent....... clothing and all and walking across the market with it.

After the big relocation it was all smiles. We had a visit from a few mom-b models.

And the girl who was beside us at our new spot was so nice. I need to look her up and see if i can't get a link to her stuff. Her name is Jennifer and she has a booth called Nora's Knits (I think) anyways her stuff was BEAUTIFUL! Hand Knit children's clothes.... but not at all what your grandma would make, very cool funky stuff. She also sold beautiful hand dyed wool yarn (biba!!!). Yesterday was her first market, and she said she will be there next week........ so worth a trip.

OK and the art market would not be complete without something delicious and different. I am not really one to try new things but somehow each week i do. week one it was the Bison Burger! Then British Pies, Vegan Funnel cake, Carmel pound cake, the Crab cake wrap, french quarter bingets and yesterday was no exception.

a hot dog with black beans, onions and guacamole YUM!

A beautiful little one we spotted at the market yesterday wearing mom-b.

Contest winner

Beautiful preggo Ray-Ray was our contest winner a while back. She just made it Jax and was able to collect her winnings! We Loved her choice.... her husband Jon ( a Carolina Panther) was a good sport :)

Yay! We'll do another contest soon.

Is that a mom-b original at that baby shower?

What a great gift idea!

Soggy Saturday

Thank you to everyone who came out on this soggy Saturday *wink*, our little home "under the bridge"..... wasn't quite under the bridge. Actually not only were we not very covered but we conveniently had the spot where anytime a truck drove over the bridge it was like we were on the front row at the Shamu show.

Oh and did i mention the gale force winds that threatened to take us away... baby and all? But a little wind and rain didn't dampen our spirits, we had a wonderful, blessed day.

The whole thing should have been captured on video, i know we could have won the $10,o0o jackpot.

Stay tuned for what i think will be some very exciting news in the next few weeks. We are so honored to have been asked to be a part of something very cool. Can't wait to share.

Under the bridge

Come join us for another beautiful Saturday under the bridge. We will be on the north west side of the market near the bike valet. Can't wait the see you there.
