New Pillowcase Dresses are Here!




New Pillowcase Dresses are here! A very talented Mom Paula is making them for us. I really like these because they are not just plain pillowcase dresses. They have the monogramming and applique on them to make them extra special. A name can be added underneath the applique. If it warm, wear this dress alone with a pair of sandals. If it is cold then pair it with leggings and a turtleneck. Too Cute! All seams have been professionally finished. Ribbon has been heat sealed to prevent fraying. Find them toady on Belladue.com

More New Items on Belladue.com!


I hope you are enjoying the warmer temperatures!  Spring has sprung!  Easter is a week away.  It is hard to believe!  We have added a few new items to Belladue.com.  A talented mom has added a new chalkboard place mat design to the site... Zebra stripe.  These on-the-go place mats sell or $16.50.  They provide a place to draw, write, and play games while waiting for food at a restaurant.  One the food arrives, simply wipe the chalk side off with a napkin, flip the mat over and you have a clean surface for meals.  These are perfect for restaurants, car trips, doctor's offices etc.  
We also added a new birthday shirt to the mix.  This adorable appliqued t-shirt can be customized with your choice of fabrics.  Add your child's name for that special touch.  
If your little one is turning one we have a new bib for that occasion.  The cupcake can be made from whatever fabric you choose.  We then can add a name and a number.  Too cute!  As Always thanks so much for everyone's support!  Go handmade!

I love these hats!!!!




I actually will be sad when winter is over!  Besides that fact that I hate and I mean HATE hot weather.  The clothes are just cuter in the winter.  We just got these hats in and I will be sad when they won't be needed in the upcoming months.  My kids will be wearing theirs well into April.  They get so many compliments on them!!!

Monroe county YMCA Fair

Well it is the start of a new craft show season.  This year I tried a new show on the Illinois side.  The Monroe County YMCA has an annual Ladies night out with vendors and food.  It was a great time.  I always love seeing everyone and catching up.  I was right next to The Bumble Bee Bowtique.  The owner Shannon was super friendly.  She makes tutus and hairbows.  You can check her out at Bumblebeebowtique.   
Once I get my show schedule a little more figured out I will post it here.  I also created some new Easter shirts.  Once I get pictures taken I will post them.  Hope to see everyone soon at a show!
