the new "blog lift" eeeeek!!!

2012-01-04T23:03:00.000-08:00

ok so i decided to give this blog a little face lift. and since i'm kinda spazzy at using the computer i had none other than miss jodie over at jodie noted...she is an amazing and very talented designer. jodie was super easy to work with and i was pleasantly surprised that she truly does want your honest to goodness opinion, because she wants to create something that you as the client will love, but also speaks to her own creativity as a designer. she was an absolute pleasure to work with, so go on an check her out! thanks again jodie...u da bomb!

recent work..

i'm sorry for my horrid photography, taking nice pictures is def not one of my strengths especially since i don't have a great camera....but i suppose these will do!

2011-10-19T00:42:00.000-07:00

so, i've never really decorated for halloween because i just thought it was kind a silly "holiday" if you will. and mostly because i've never really cared for the decor found in the stores. well this year i was flipping through better homes and garden magazine and they featured an interior decorater whose entire theme was black and white! i loved it! immediately i started brainstorming ideas for my mantle. so, this is what i came up with. everything on my mantle aside from the bones, cheese cloth, and black crows, were things i already had...so it made decorating even better! my friend brought over her silloette and she cut out the bats and letters for us. i made the paper bat garland with simple twine. the window was something i had and i just draped the cheesecloth over it and threw the letters on and tossed in some spiders. for the twig and bone bouquet, i already had the twigs, vase, and ribbon. i put some moss in the bottom of the vase and added the bones and twigs. the crows are by far my favorite part! i found them at the dollar store!!!! they are great because they have wire attached to their feet so you can place them any way you like. for the art work on the sofa table, we placed newspaper in frames that we already had and used the silloette to cut the bats and letters, i didn't even glue mine down, just placed them randomly in the frame and put the back on. i thrifted the silver candlestick and taped the skeleton head to the top and spaced out some leftover bones on the table. i found mr. skeleton at walmart for $10. in the glass bowl is another cute little crow sitting on top of some moss, i'm bummed because you can't see him very well in the picture, but he's my absolute favorite part!

2010-10-19T11:30:00.000-07:00

it's craft fair season again! just wanted to let you all know that i will be participating in the bizarre bazaar craft fair agian this year. it will be held at the hidden springs merc on saturday november 20th from 9am - 4pm. i will be selling my current inventory as well as taking orders. so come on down and grab some hot chocolate and shop around! hope to see you all there!

hair accessories

2010-08-16T23:42:00.000-07:00

against the better advice of my sister, the professional photographer/graphic designer, i posted these pics. i know i'm seriously lacking in the photog department, but i did want you to be able to see the new hair accessories. hope you will all love them :)!

just a little fyi............

2010-08-16T23:23:00.000-07:00

so, i have added a couple of new products to my repertoire, they are; car seat strap covers to match the carrier cover and the baby sling. i thought that the strap covers would be convenient for when "spit happens" so you can just take them off of the straps and wash and replace them back over the straps, rather than tearing apart your entire car seat to thoroughly clean them. and the baby sling, its a must have for me, super convenient, comfortable, and super cozy for baby.

i am also reinventing my blankease, i'm really excited about it, i've made some new improvements to the style and convenience of it. i can't wait to post pics!

and......i'm back!

2010-07-14T11:12:00.000-07:00

i've had a little mini break and have been LOVING my time with our sweet new baby....and i am now ready to resume taking orders :)

time....

2010-07-05T19:22:00.000-07:00

so, i'm sorry that i haven't put up any new pics of the recent work i've done....but it's because i just had baby and things have been kind of crazy at my house. needless to say i haven't had much time to add new photos or take new orders, so i apologize for that. hopefully i will be able to get back into the swing of things shortly. thanks! mieko

recent work.....

2010-05-30T07:54:00.000-07:00

Car Seat Covers

2010-03-13T09:32:00.000-08:00

just wanted to let you all know that i've decided to add car seat (carrier) covers to my inventory. they are SUPER cute and perfect for shading baby during the summer or keeping baby cozy during the winter, they are light weight, breathable and one of a kind! can't wait to post some new pictures of all the projects i've been working on.

Bringin' em back!

2010-01-23T09:20:00.000-08:00

okay, so i've totally been on hiatus since christmas and let me tell ya, it has been AWESOME!!!! although i do LOVE to sew, i also love to just lay low and enjoy the company of my beautiful babies. but, i did want everyone to know that i will be continuing to work on my maternity aprons and i will post some pictures as soon as they materialize! i'm so excited and can't wait for them to come about! and also, i do still have a few boise state aprons left (which are super duper cute by the way)! if anyone is interested. until then!

bazaar info

2009-12-18T08:43:00.000-08:00

i know i said i was going to do this one last bazaar, however, i was up all night with my two year old who was fighting a fever. and i don't think i could call myself a very good mother if i made my baby sit through 4 or 5 hours of a bazaar when i know she isn't feeling well. so, if you were planning on coming up specifically for the bazaar or more specifically for one of my products, i will be home and you are more than welcome to stop by, please feel free to call for directions! i will be selling ALL of my products at a discounted price! thanks mieko

the last bazaar!!!!

2009-12-14T09:51:00.000-08:00

okay, i know i said i wouldn't do anymore of these bazaars,BUT this one is sooooo lax and sooo close to home that i just couldn't say no. there are only going to be about six or so of us at this one. it will be at the hidden springs clubhouse on friday the 18th of december from 1pm until about 4pm or 5pm, we haven't decided yet. i will have my new boise state aprons (half aprons) and couple of other new aprons. and i only have three nursing blankets left in stock and will not have any new ones for this bazaar, however, you can always order yours custom to what you like. i will also have my tutus (which are now on sale), infant headbands, and hairclips. hope to see you all there!!!

recent orders i've done....

2009-12-07T10:32:00.000-08:00

How do I place an order?

2009-11-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

okay, so i've had quite a few people ask me how to place an order. its super easy, all you do is just shoot me an e-mail at either mieks18@hotmail.com or miesew@gmail.com with MieSew in the header (that way i know its an order). in the e-mail you give me specific details of what you are interested in. for example, if i was to order a blankease i would say, "i would like a black and white blankease with big black buttons and a bold print." and then you need to leave your name and number and how soon you need your order by. its very important for you to leave your number because sometimes i go to the fabric store and they don't have exactly what i'm looking for, its nice if i have your number that way i can call you to see if something else might work. then, when i get the fabric i e-mail you pictures of it and from there you can either say no, i hate it or yes, that's perfect! so far i have never had anyone say they hate the fabric i have chosen for them. if you are looking for a specific apron style, just let me know what the style is and i can do it. so, that's it! please feel free to e-mail or call me any time. thanks and i hope this helped those inquiring! mieko

Christmas Orders!!!!

2009-11-18T08:01:00.000-08:00

i have started taking orders for Christmas!! that being said, if you want to place an order but haven't decided exactly what you want, you still have time. i will take orders up until a week before Christmas, however orders placed in that week will have an extra charge for the rush. any time after that i cannot garauntee that your product will be on time for Christmas day because of the shipping rush. as we all know things get really backed up around Christmas and the shipping is just something that is simply out of my control. so, it is best to get your order in early so that you can get your product on time for Christmas :)! i take great pride in my work and only want to deliver the best product that i can to you! i truly appreciate everyone who loves and supports my products, you are why i keep doing what i do! so thank you!!! and happy shopping this Christmas season! mieko

Thank You Thank You!!!

2009-11-08T08:30:00.000-08:00

HALLOWEEN!!!!

2009-10-25T15:31:00.001-07:00

this year i decided i was absolutely NOT going to pay $30 on a silly costume that i thought i for sure could make. this is a sleeping beauty costume and i am currently working on belle as soon as i finish it, i will post a picture. but the fabric, thread, and velcro (i didn't use a pattern, i never use patterns, i just looked at my daughters disney book), for both of my gilrs' costumes only cost me about $24!

fun stuff!
