I just can't stop myself...

I bought more soap!

I am so addicted - there are just so many beautiful ones to choose from on Etsy that I had to get a few things from 3 more sellers to try them out...I am not sure what I am going to actually do with all of this soap...but I will find something LOL

From Etsy Seller SpaTherapy:
Face Soap to try (and a few other goodies :-0 )


From Etsy seller naiad:
I also bought 2 all natural unscented soaps - cant wait to try them...

From Etsy seller CrowleyManor - doesn't this look lovely?
She also does some Goats Milk soaps which I am super excited to try...

Apples & Pears...the 2008 version!

I have redone one of my most popular sets from last year.
The Apples and Pears Tiered Twirl Top and Applique Jeans....this year in Pink!
Featuring the ever popular fabric from Alexander Henry

While browsing Etsy last night I also found the Cutest Bows that were made to match this fabric. The sellers name is Ellie-Jayne Designs and her store can be found HERE

My new obsession...

Handmade Soap!!

If you haven't already checked out Etsy you really should - you can find ANYTHING handmade - from clothing to paintings to baked goods (I found some really yummy Gluten Free Cookies - check out her shop if you are looking for some - Renots Handcrafted Goodness).

Don't they look yummy??

I have been trying to switch over our household to more natural products - I have already forbidden artificial sweeteners and HFCS in our kitchen, as well as most pre packaged products and things made with White Flour. Now I am moving to natural body care products - Toothpaste, Deodorant, Hair care, and my new obsession Handmade SOAP!
(Check HERE for a link to all of ETSYs Bath and Body care offerings).

The only problem I am having, is that there are so many wonderful sellers that I cannot decide!
So far I have bought from 2 wonderful sellers:

Crazytimescandles and SoapScentsations

I am loving this unscented soap from Crazytimecandles:


I cannot list all of the great shops, but check out my favorites for a few that I have looked at.

Happy Friday

Good Morning!

I am so happy to not be up at 5am today, sleeping til 7:30 is SO much better :-)
Today is the second to last of our Childfree days --Anneke has been at Oma's since Sunday. And tomorrow we are heading down to pick her up. We are going to make a stop in Solvang and hang out for the night, have a good dinner, and drink some wine, before we go to meet them in Ventura on Sunday. I guess that means I better be productive today!
So I hope to be away from the computer and actually sewing all day - we have a big group launch coming up and I dont have anything completed yet for it.....
So what is the Theme - would you believe Back to School and Fall???? It has been 100 degrees here all week long, so I am SO not thinking about BTS yet, but that seems to be what people are starting to buy. I have had a lot of interest on my Halloween set:



I should have a couple of more Halloween items for the launch.

I am also planning to redesign my popular Apples and Pears set (since I am out of one of the 2 fabrics and cannot seem to find it anywhere):



So I think it is Coffee time! I will check back soon :-)

Have a great day!

Introducing Simply Twirlable

,

I have been making these Twirl Tops with Applique Jeans for a while now. They have been very popular, because they have some great Twirl to them and they are very versatile.
People have asked me if I can make the top longer and sell it as a dress alone.....

So here they are :-)
My new "Simply Twirlable" Dresses!
Available in both my Etsy and Ebay stores....
But really I can make them in any combination of fabrics - have an idea, contact me through my Etsy Store www.annekepanneke.etsy.com




This last one is an OOAK (I have no more of this fabric)
It and the Matching Skirt set are vailable in my ebay store
