Joyful Aprons, Great for Holiday gifts, etc....

I've been brushing up on my sewing skills and am now extremely obsessed in creating cute, useful and stylish aprons and etc.  As of right now, I am taking orders.  If you are interested or know anyone who would like a handmade apron, let me know.  I truly enjoying creating these aprons.  These make great gifts for the holiday, birthdays and they are a great hit at babyshowers as "Mommy and Me" aprons.  My pricing is quite reasonable and is about half the price of what is out there right now for handmade aprons. 

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/ or if you would like to purchase an apron.  I will discount the price for orders of 3 or more. 

Thank you for viewing this and I look forward to your support and orders.

Eyelash Applicator

Because I have monolids, my eyelid doesn't fold up, it folds under.  This makes it difficult to apply false eyelashes because when my eyelid folds under, I get glue all over my eyelid and lashes, or I can't get the false lashes to stick on one of the corners of my eyelid. 
Anyway,I was searching for false eyelashes on ebay and came across this little device. It is super helpful and makes applications so much faster.  I love this tool because it is like an extension of my fingers and helps keeps the lashes put until the glue sets in.  If any of you would like to apply on your lashes faster and get it right the first time, this device is AWESOME!

I bought this off of ebay for only $1.68 and free shipping! 

Well, I hope this helps!

Hello Kitty APRON

I was reading my friend's blog ( http://xongie.blogspot.com/) and read that she loves Hello Kitty.  And I guess it was meant to be because when I went fabric shopping the other day, they had this cute Hello Kitty ribbon on clearance.  And then all the great deals on fabric happened to match the ribbon perfectly.  So, yesterday I created a Hello Kitty Craft Apron w/ 6 pockets!  My friend @ http://xongie.blogspot.com/ is super creative and crafty in several things, so I figure this would be quite handy for her to use.  I hope you enjoy it XONGIE!

 Hello Kitty felt decal w/ an "X" for her name.

 Example of all the stuff you can put in it.

 I drew and cut the head, eyes, nose and bow of this Hello Kitty decal and stitched it on. 

I also hand embroidered the "X" that stands for her first name.

If anyone is interested in handmade aprons for the holiday or as a gift, let me know.  I am now taking orders.  Email me at joy_vaj@yahoo.com for rates.  Thanks for looking!
