Where’s Your Flower?

by MCA Designs on July 30, 2010

If you know Kate, you also know that she has a fabric flower in her hair 99% of the time. In fact, she recently wore one swimming. (That did not work so well for her.) And whenever people see her without it, the first words out of their mouths are usually, “Where is your flower?”

Her friend, Megan, recently suggested that she sell flower hair clips as a signature item at the Imagine Me Set Free conferences. We thought it was a GREAT idea.

So last weekend, she and I spent the entire weekend together making fabric flower hair clips and watching a season (or two) of FRIENDS. We laughed A LOT!

(PROUD MOM ALERT: the framed drawing is the one she made me for Mother’s Day – also the one on her t-shirt)

These fabric flowers are available in white and natural here.

We also have a SPECIAL LIMITED TIME OFFER. This weekend only you will receive the Kate Carlson Signature Flower Hair Clip FREE with the purchase of her CD + T-shirt Package. This offer is only available thru Sunday, Aug. 1st.

Win the whole package:

If you already have the CD and/or T-shirt, would you be willing to tell others about it in the comments below?

Or have you worshiped with Kate LIVE?

Give her a shout out on Twitter or Facebook, and leave me a comment with your @ name.

I’ll draw one winner from the comments on Monday morning to receive the whole package – CD, Shirt, & Flower.

Pre-adolescent Portrait Session

by MCA Designs on July 29, 2010

Here are a few of my favorite shots from a portrait session with my niece.

My mom had Kate‘s portrait made prior to adolescence and wants to get the rest of the grandchildren’s portraits made at about the same age. She plans to hang them all on the wall together.

We almost waited too long for this one. Parker had braces on when we typically would have made it. She is small for her age, and truthfully, she looks about the same as Kate did in hers, even though she is a year and half older. She just keeps getting more beautiful too! (But then I know I’m a bit biased.)

We just have to make my nephew’s portrait next year, and the mission will be complete.

New Product: Purse Organizer

July 28, 2010

How many women out there have a bunch of unloved, brand new purses in their closets because they do not have time to swap out all the contents of the one they’re carrying? I have to be honest – I hate changing purses; therefore, I carry one basic purse during the spring and summer, and [...]

Quilt Along, part 6

July 26, 2010

It’s getting to be more challenging to photograph this project. And it looks like it must be harder to iron as well! I love the pieces that ended up with the little songbird in them. Ordered a perfect 1/4" foot and hoping it helps keep the rest of this thing from becoming too wonky. This [...]

Recycled Sewing Project

July 20, 2010

Recently, my mom asked me to help her recycle a personalized bath wrap. She originally ordered the bath wrap for my niece for Christmas. When Parker opened her gift and held it up, we realized that the wrong size had been sent. What do we do with it now? It’s too cute to use as [...]

Quilt Along, part 5

July 19, 2010

I finally caught up with Week 6 of Crazy Mom Quilts’ quilt along. It’s actually part 5 for me in my posting of the process. As you can see, I’ve had to get a bit more creative in photographing the quilt top as it grows. You can see more photos from the quilt along in [...]
