Az State Fair Fashion Show 2010


I love seeing my students participate in the fashion show at the Az State Fair.

They work so hard on all their projects and this

is when they get to show off

the hard work and have some fun with it!


Nicole (15)

She made this entire dress & headband out of duct tape.


Marissa (18)

She embroidered the design on this apron.


Blaire (16)

She made this dress in record time to wear it to her spring formal.



Kennedy (10)

She made this darling zebra skirt.



Emily (10)

She turned an ordinary pillowcase into this fabulous skirt.



Katelyn (11)

She made this soft robe out of zebra fleece.



Brighton (10)

She altered this dress pattern to make it more her style
& made the bag to match.



Rylie (10)

She had so much fun making this poodle skirt.



Madelyn (10)

She made this cute dress with buttons.

The woman who made this all possible. The Superintendent over the
Creative Arts & Crafts Division

MaryEllen Simmons.
(a.k.a. my mom)


She has worked so many hours to pull this all together. And it turned
out wonderfully! It was nice to get to see her too. During the Fair time she lives down there.
No really, she bought an R.V. and lives there. For those of you that know my mom.
You aren't surprised. The Fair is her passion/obsession.

Thanks mom!

He has no choice but to work here!

What a good husband.

So this is what the rides looked like that my older kids went on.

I kept watching for a child to fall out.
Please don't let there be a bolt loose!

I was sick just watching it.



They loved it.


And this is what my younger kids went on.

This is more my speed.



Still thrilling...to a 3 & 4 yr. old.

Mark had to do a starfish too.

(He pretty much does whatever Sophia does)



What a great day!
I love the Fashion Show day at the Fair!

Support Handmade

I was able to participate in 7 different boutiques this season. One thing I noticed was the lack of handmade items. So many booths had retail jewelry, purses, clothes etc... Which is fine but, since I make all of my own things I can appreciate the work that goes into creating all of these fabulous products. I found this great purse for my daughter for Christmas at one of the boutiques. She loved it! It is well made and was only $36.00!! With all the classes and orders I have to make I don't have the time to stop and make something like this. It was worth it to me to buy it. Here is a cute little wallet that she picked out to go with the purse. It was cute and only $6.00! I absolutely love these!! My aunt used to send me her homemade washcloths every year for Christmas. She has gotten older and hasn't been making them lately. I picked these up at a boutique as well. The round scrubber is a washcloth on one side and scrubber on the other. If you have not tried these you are miss

From Drop Cloth to Painted Rug

I had a wheelchair ramp built going into my house for my 6 yr old who is in a wheelchair. I have loved having it. He is getting so big that it was getting difficult to get him in & out of the house. This is so much easier!   Here's the problem:  It's ugly and my welcome mat/entry rug doesn't fit! No bueno!!   I looked for a rug that would fit but didn't want to spend a lot of money on it. So...I decided to make my own.   I got a canvas drop cloth from Lowe's for just under $10.00.    I gave it a good ironing to get the creases out.   I had some white house paint from another project and painted the drop cloth. (Tip: Even though this is a drop cloth the paint soaked through to the backside. I put a plastic drop cloth under it to protect my table.)   Then I stenciled it.  I was going to do a different pattern and transfer it on to the drop cloth but I already had the stencil and let's face it...
