new listings on etsy




I am listing stuff again cause the sun finally came out today in Kentucky YAY!

I have a few pair of bloomers, one in flannel one in fleece and another in a muslin type butterfly print fabric. I also have a pair of bloomers in muslin I am experimenting on, but more on that later

The fleece bloomers are for the more goddess sized mama and these measure 74 inches in the hip stretched out so this would fit a size 22 and on up. I have these priced nicely as well. I got a good price on the fleece, and with fleece being 60 inches wide I can make larger bloomers like this without haveing to charge more for extra fabric. I will be open to more customs sometime in December so if you want a pair I can hook you up!







the flannel bloomers are so soft and so warm too! These are cute as can be under a skirt as shown here. this skirt will be listed very soon. its made from an Alexander Henry print I fell in love with. its a simple skirt and the print is very bold, thats one thing I love about Alexander Henry stuff. Its BOLD!

I have a similar Alexander Henry fabric for sale in my shop right now too. If your interested....



So go check out my bloomers! I am officially up to my eyeballs in a custom and probably wont be listing any more for a week or so. If ya want em come and get em!



I have new soap today as well...




EggNog! I love how this one turned out. I molded it in a square box and sliced it in slices and it looks like a cake or something. i smells just like egg nog too. great for the holidays! It too is soon to be listed







This one is originally called "Christmas Cabin" After I made it I decided it smells nothing at all like a Christmas Cabin but it DOES smell like every truck driver I have ever met. This is a cross between Brut and Old Spice, a kick in the nuts from Chuck Norris with a Karate chop to the throat from Bruce Lee. This is the manly man's scent. this is for the guy that climbs mount Everest JUST to pee off of it. This is for the guy who eats his steak raw, and uses duct tape to hold together deep flesh wounds rather than get some "sissy" stitches. If you have a manly man like this in your life, get him some soap! If he even still bathes he would love this!

More soaps to come soon! I have 7 new scents all total I will be listing all week. So check my store periodically to see whats up!

We MAY be moving in a few months!


And if we move it will be here.

This is a 4.8 acre plot of land 7 miles from my mom and about 8 miles from the river (smiles)


At the river there is fishing, and swimming....for free!

At mommies house there is good food and cakes...for free!

See why I wanna get down there so bad!




This is a view from ON the land. We walked (oh god it killed me) across one of the property boundries to see where the back of the property lie. We found it past those trees. At this point I was wishing I could materialize a 4 wheeler out of nowhere. It is hilly. They say "Gently" rolling...they havent been arthritic,anemic,and fibromyalgic walking across this thing with weeds up to their asses...its NOT gentle! But its pretty nonetheless....







This is a shot from the center of the land....almost. Its got trees across one side and across the back and the center is pretty much open. I found a HUGE variety of plant life in the weeds, so I am pretty sure the gground is good for growing. There is also a lot of rock like you find around creek beds. I found some nice granite too...and those chalk rocks. I like those. I found a big one too! I would have went nuts over that when I was a kid! LOL I almost brought it home with me LOL

I have no idea where we would put a house or barn or anything. We havent planned nothing yet. We havent even made the down payment because he was late to work and we had to rush home. We will be going back friday to actually purchase this land though. I am almost positive he wont go back and change his mind...if he does I am gonna be pissed cause I done told everyone about this LOL and I like the land a lot...but we do need a 4 wheeler. Unless I get real healthy real quick LOL.

Also in other news...I made a glove! LOOK!


I made this with some handspun wool from my favorite place on Etsy Cintia's Hippie Shop. I HIGHLY recommend going there cause she has tons of real sweet looking stuff in there, and her yarn is INCREDIBLE! The yarn I bought is the blue sparkly stuff at the top. i knew I didnt have enough to do the whole glove as long as I wanted it to be so I mixed em up, but I LOVE having that warm soft wool on my hands!




I used a nice furry soft blue yarn I got in Chicago, and a plain white acrylic held together to make the bottom part, and of course the plain white for the ruffley trim. If anyone wants to know how I did these, I will try to write out the pattern. I just made it up as I went along, and I consider myself a beginner, so this is NOT hard! LOL






I also made a glove today for mommy while we was driving to the country to look at that land we found. Yeah I made this in like an hour! The top is just plain acrylic and the bottom I used ribbon and yarn held together, and then I made a white ruffle below that part. I wish I could get a decent picture, this is the best one I got. Its raining outside again so no sun today, BLAH!

I thought mommy could use some of these gloves cause she gets cold at Bingo...hehehe. I figured she could wear these and still have use of her fingers to hold her bingo marker thingy...

Well I guess thats it for big news and big creations today LOL. I got some pants I am working on I will try to get pictures up when they are done. They are already sold so dont get excited LOL I just like to show em off. I got big plans for them

Oh yeah and if ya want them I have a pair of flannel bloomers and a pair of muslin bloomers on etsy right now! (opens floodgates) LOL!!!

Love you guys!!!

Three tiered skirt plus more new stuff!


So, I get this fabric at the store...its premade patchwork. I have went crazy over this stuff and have some more in my stash just waiting...I found some in ALL PINK! Its just for me though hehehehe. ANyhoo... I got this stuff here to make some pants...but the more I got to looking at it the more I thought it should be a tiered skirt. So here it is in all its spinny goodness. You can also see more of it in my ETSY SHOP!







I decided to do something different with the bloomers. I always thought this style was cute so I tried it and I have to have me a pair of these. Wouldnt these just be precious under a skirt thats about knee length?!

These are made from a white quilters cotton that I dyed myself. Yes, I tried tie dying again and you see the results...obviously I need to go back to the drawing board, but they turned out a lovely shade of purple anyways. I adore this purple. I also "tie Dyed" a couple of my ratty looking white t shirts I wear like a uniform and they are also this shade of purple..its a really nice color. Not too bright, not too dark. Just purple. You can see some streaks of white in these in random places where they were ALMOST tie dyed...but not quite.(sigh) You can see more pictures of these in my ETSY SHOP TOO!



Here is a skirt that for some reason I have had in my inventory box since winter time. The listing for this expired and since the pictures of it did blow all to hell and back I figured I would redo the pictures and try again. This skirt has an applique done by *me* that I have been doing for years. This is my mommy's favorite applique of mine so thats one reason I keep recreating it. Its always a little bit different than the last time.

This is also available in my ETSY SHOP! for only 60 bucks. I am listing it so low because we kinda neeeeeed the money.The price in no way reflects quality, so dont let the somewhat low prices fool ya! I do all french seams in my stuff except where otherwise noted. All other seams are topstitched.


And these adorable bloomers here just made me think PUNK ROCK GIRL! My favorite song by The Dead Milkmen...does anyone out there even KNOW who the Dead Milkmen are?? Does Anyone remember??!! If you was part of the skater scene of the late 80's early 90's then you know who the Dead Milkmen are hehehehe. Anyhoo, I kinda broke away from my usual stuff here by making these, it was fun and I am sure this shocks my usual customers LOL. If these dont sell pretty quick I may just keep em and grab my old Suicidal Tendencies Skateboard and go skate!


These have little skull beads on the sides, and a star button, and a cute white bow. These are really adorable in a goth/punk sort of way. These too are up in my shop!



This skirt was "sold" a while back but the buyer didnt come thru...she decided to open up a garage with her hubby instead. Some people! I swear. Pass up this skirt to have her own business...the nerve! Anyhoo....this is another project made with that cool premade patchwork fabric. This is in purple plaids...I got this thing with purple and plaid lately Hmmmm....Anyhoo, this has a roo pocket, and I embroidered a fairy sitting on a mushroom and a buncha little mushrooms on the pocket...the pocket is made of corduroy and fully lined too.

This is Maylee laughing cause I look stupid in the picture. Aint she a doll.

This will be on Etsy probably tomorrow (sunday 8-03)
I am trying to space out my listings over the whole weekend to keep my stuff fresh in the searches.

Plus Size Bloomers Custom made for YOU!

I have noticed lately that a LOT of people are wanting BLOOMERS! I just wanted to put it out there to the world that, YES! I make them! I can make them to fit anybody no matter how big...now if your small we may have to talk LOL Small sizes scare me.

Here are some pics of bloomers past to give you an idea of what they turn out like




I also make petticoats! I dont have a pic of a full length one cause its usually something I make to go along with another order, and so I dont make them just to sell...I sell them, but you know...I dont list them...LOL

This is a short one I did as a custom order and just happened to take pics







I can make these in any length with any length of ruffle on them. This one was short to go under a pirate skirt....I like pirates, and ninjas too. I married a ninja because of his skillz...no joke! He really is part Ninja.....Ok no one believes me (sad face)








Anyhoo back to the bloomers and stuff. I have a
Listing on Etsy for ME to make YOU a custom pair of bloomers OR a petticoat whichever you like. If you click the link and the item is sold, just look in my store Auroras Garden and there will be a new listing to take its place, if not I am slippin' just send me a message thru Etsy!

The catch is to get it this cheap it HAS to be made out of Muslin. I can do bleached or unbleached and thats your only choice for fabric LOL. I can make them in other colors of course but the price is different because the fabric is more expensive....you get the point.


I specialize in plus sizes...dont think your too big for me to make you something either...I can do it! I love making my big mama's feel purty. Thats my goal in life...to beautify the plus size mama!

If your really small, like I said we will have to talk. I feel scared making something so tiny I cant fit it to make sure it "works" but I have made bloomers for the skinny before and they love them, so if your a size 14 or under just send me a message first auroras_garden@insi
