I am ready to scrapbook!

Hello there! So sorry for my tardiness. I have been sewing like a wildwoman, and catching up on all sorts of things here. Now I am ready to scrapbook! I have a guest artist spot coming up before long, I will share deets soon. I have been playing with some fun product though, and realllllllly enjoying it. In the meantime, I will share some pics of things I have made in the last month. You will notice they are all fabric related.  :)

Sewing up a storm!

Woo, I have been sewing up a storm, and making loads of fun baby and children's items.  It certainly is wonderful when you have little ones to inspire you!  Our oldest grandchild (granddaughter) is now three years old, and the baby is a wee bit over one month old.  The little man is now two, so we have quite a fun variety going on here.  My daughter and I finally started adding some things to our etsy shop, take a peek  ~ AlaPamala .  We have BOATLOADS of things ready, now we are just trying to take pics, and list them.  WOOO, exciting stuff for sure.  Here is a pic of the baby wearing some of the hairbows we made, isn't she a cutie?? (not all the pictured items are listed yet, but will be soon) ~





Of course, each time we make hairbows, we make multiples, one for each grandbaby, and some to sell.  Here is a pic of Kaya wearing one of our hairbows and headband ~


This was the best shot I could get, she was too excited to play at Mimi and Puppa's house to sit for pictures for more than .5 of a second!  Goodness she is full of energy.  :)

Hopefully by this weekend we will have lots more listed in our shop. Besides hairbows we have belts, minkie cuddler ribbon tag soothers, diaper cakes, burb cloths, bibs, flannel wipes, tote and diaper bags, and more.
We are working on our facebook page too, Cort has been a busy little bee ~

So that is what we have been up to lately.  No time for scrapping recently, but I hope to squeeze some in as soon as we get things caught up a wee bit.  I miss playing with paper and adhesive! 

Thank you for catching up with me today.  I hope you have a joyful and creative day ~ Pam

Lots of pics to share :)

Hello!!!!  How is everybody today?  Hopefully fabulous!  I finally have some pics to share, so sorry for the delay.  Here are some of the baby items that were made for little Hollyn ~
first the quilt ~
here is a close up view ~

 here is a pic of her diaper bag and her hairbow holder (not sure where they got the cute little penquin hooks, they are adorable though) ~


there are boatloads of pockets in the diaper bag, here is a close up pic of one end, and each penquin is actually a pocket~


here is a pic of her name in her room (it is really sparklie irl)~

here is a pic of sweet little Hollyn (almost three weeks old, she is wearing a big flower clip I made) ~


here is her hairbow holder when it was empty ~
close up pic of the top ~


Of course I had to make a hairbow holder for her three year old cousin Kaya~


and a french memo board for her two year old cousin Cooper~

I have been making minkie tag blankies for our etsy shop AlaPamala.  When I took them over to show my daughter (who is also making things for our shop), three year old Kaya told her
brother, "don't touch, these are for baby Hollyn." :)  She is saving everything for the baby, he he he!  Here are a few of the oh-SOOOO-soft tag blankies for the etsy shop so far (I have boatloads more, since I have been sewing like a wild woman lately) ~

another monkey minkie, this one with lighter brown for the back  ~



I have also been making the cutest little belts and hairbow sets ~

So as you can see, we have been pretty busy.  I have lots more photos, but will share them in the next few weeks.  I am actually hoping to scrap a few cards tonight if I don't run out of day.  There was a butterfly project blog challenge, and I hoped to participate.  However, the day has gotten away from me, so we will see.  I also signed up for an online book club at BizChicksBlog on facebook (check it out, lots of great advice there), so I need to read my chapters.  I better get busy!  :) 

That is it for tonight.  Take care, and I hope you all enjoy a joyful and creative week!  ~ Pam

How did I come up with Pam's Eclectic Stuff?

Pam- that is me. :)

eclectic --adj.- selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas
*Since I like a huge variety of arts and mediums, this seemed perfect, we will talk about the best of various styles or ideas.

stuff- The noun stuff has 7 senses -
1. material, stuff -- (the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread")2. whatchamacallit, stuff, whatsis, sundry, sundries -- (miscellaneous unspecified artifacts; "the trunk was full of stuff")3. stuff, clobber -- (informal terms for personal possessions; "did you take all your clobber?")4. stuff, stuff and nonsense, hooey, poppycock -- (senseless talk; "don't give me that stuff")5. stuff -- (unspecified qualities required to do or be something; "the stuff of heros"; "you don't have the stuff to be a United States Marine")6. stuff -- (information in some unspecified form; "it was stuff I had heard before"; "there's good stuff in that book")7. stuff -- (a critically important or characteristic component; "suspense is the very stuff of narrative")

*What more needs to be said? I really thought about using Pam's Eclectic Sundries, but I thought that might be tough to remember. :) Stuff is easy and conveys a variety of meanings. I like the definition- miscellaneous unspecified artifacts. I also liked whatchamacallit, but that is a lot of typing. :)

So there you have it!
