Why do I love my customers?

Yesterday afternoon my photo shoot session was interrupted by the door bell. When I opened the door there was this cute little package from Jelly Belly waiting for me.
Ready to see the content??? Yes??? Look further then!

The packaged contained a huge tin of jelly beans (shaped like a giant jelly bean!), sock with jelly beans designs and 2 jelly beans key chain, one in red for Gabriel and one in Purple for Michelle.
Surprised but slightly confused, I dag the rest of the package to see who was from and found a sweet and lovely card for my recent customer, Gail, thanking my for the hard work in serving her.....woot!!!

So, let me get this straight....I got the change to make some wonderful items, expanding my limits and play with new media and supply and for it not only I got paid, but I also got a jack pot prize???? I guess I died and went to heaven! Hoe did she know that I like to wear silly socks is beyond me. We exchanged emails and talked about fave colors (that's why she knew which colors my kids love) but the socks thing was completely a guess and she guessed right!!

And that's why I love customer orders, it really creates a connection between me and my lovely customers.

What I've been working on

As many crafters, I have many projects laying around and personally I have the habits to start 2 0r 3 at the same time, so I can switch from one to other when I get bored (rarely lol)
My last completed project was assigned to me from my mother-in-law.
She bought me the pattern and all the necessary supplies to make a 4th of July outfit for my daughter Michelle.

I know it's a bit early for the 4th of July, but the colors of the outfit fits the Memorial day as well, so I saw it fitting.
Plus I really couldn't wait to show it to you....and neither could she! Do you think she likes it?

The dress is basically a t-shirt with trims and comes with a matching shoulder bags that made my daughter feels like a grown-up.
The details includes a white star applique on the front left (the side of the heart) and I used the same star design to make a hair clip since she likes to have her hair up.

I'm considering offering the design for sale in my shop, what do you think?
I see a very simple white T-shirt spiced up with bright orange and hot pink for summer times or a pink and brow theme for a....well a cupcake! lol

At the moment is available upon request for an intro price of $50. You might contact me at piccoladonna2006[at]hotmail[dot]com of thought my blog at any time if you're interested :)
