Spring/ Summer Trunk Show 2010!! And a serious cuteness overload!



So can you stand it? I know I may sound prejudice, but seriously, this has to be the cutest set of twins on the planet! Lily is in the purple "Miss Lily" dress, and Iris is in the "Miss Alice". These two angels just melt me!


They call me "Pantha". Most of my friends and family call me Sam, but Ben's brother's name is Sam too, so to curb any confusion I started calling myself "Aunt Mantha" to them. "Mantha" is what all of the Caffee kids started off calling me so I thought it would be easy for them too, but they changed it! I'm "Pantha" and proud of it! LOL! My brother Simon is "Himon"! LOL!




I guess I should mention the trunk show now....not as much fun to talk about, but I guess I should!

(Fabric # 646)
All of the fabrics are from Fabric Finders. If you've never tried their fabric before you are really missing out, it's top notch! The day they delivered all of this fabric I was so excited! And I have to say that free fabric will always be one of my favorite parts of this job, it's awesome!
Iris is wearing a Miss Alice in fabrics #667, and #765.

Here Iris is wearing a Miss Molly in fabrics #721, and #764. 


Miss Madeline is wearing a "Miss Madeline" in fabrics #631, and #765.


And here is Maddie in a Miss Iris skirt, looking pretty grumpy and tired of taking pictures, in fabrics #612, and #764.

 Just when you thought that the cuteness was over BAM! Abraham! Can you believe how big our little Abe is getting? He is SEVEN months old now! Can you even stand that chubby little face, and arms, and legs, well and everything...he's pretty much chubby all over isn't he?!

This wraps up our week of shop talk! I hope you all enjoyed it! I'll be taking a much needed mini-stay-cation with Ben this weekend, and I will be back here on Monday or Tuesday. Have a wonderful weekend friends!
xoxo, Aunt Pantha

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
