Talk to Me Tuesday: Dazzling & Dapper style

Welcome to Talk to Me Tuesday!! Today we are meeting the very talented Katy of Dazzling and Dapper. She is really gifted with bow ties, suspenders, skirts, and embroidered items. I love her shop because she has cute things for boys!

Welcome Katy! 


Tell us about You!

 My name is Katy and I am a wife, mommy and crazy mind behind Dazzling and Dapper. My son is a crazy 2 year old redhead and as a family we love playing outside. Besides sewing, I am a geeky gamers. My current game love being Skylanders!

Tell us about your shop!

I run Dazzling and Dapper and I make clothing and accessories. I started by only making girl items, mostly bows and flower clips. Then I realized that I couldn't find what I wanted for my son and my boy's line was born. It has ties, bow ties, and suspenders. I recently added an embroidery machine and can do the whole outfit!

What is your favorite thing to make?

I love making the boy items and the birthday shirts. I think that both really embody a child's personality! 

What is the hardest part of owning your own online shop?

Time management, some days I seem to spend all day on the computer and the next I just want to sew all day. 

Do you have any advice to share?

Set realistic goals and keep at it! It takes time but hard work will pay off! 

I completely agree, Katy! Goal setting is very important but to keep them where they are attainable. It takes time to grow. Thank you so much for coming and talking to us today! I learned more about you and am so thankful you are part of my crafting, indie shop community. You can find and follow Katy at her SHOP | FACEBOOK  | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM
 
Make sure to visit her and tell her a crafty 'Hi!'

#happyhandmade week 23

Kona Lion

Hi! Do you wonder where the week has gone?? Well, I DO!! Wow! Times is really starting to fly fast! Not sure if it is because I am getting older or if it my kiddos getting older. Hahaha, toddlers, they keep me on my toes! This past week has been full of fun and teething. One day it was Monday the next it is Sunday! How did that happen...life happened I guess. Here is my choices from Daft Crafts #happyhandmade week 23. Now I will admit there are so many AWESOME, AMAZING things that it was super hard to choose!! But here are my favorites.

First, I love LOVE LOVE this new shop Pour No more!!! They take old glass jars and things and recycle them into amazing #handmade home items. I love the etching they did on this set of drinking glasses. So pretty, so elegant for any home.

Second, I LOVE LOVE Just for Littles! They make the cutest little hand painted banks for children! They painted this amazing treasure chest. It is a wonderful way for a child or adult to store their "treasures"! 

Third, I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Mollie Shop!!! She makes the cutest bows and dollies!! She has a bunch of new bows ready for the start of school!! I love this one - the pencil ribbon is darling!

Now there are so many more wonderful things at #happyhandmade week 23 over at Daft Crafts.
