I love anything bubbled---bubble cuffs, bubble skirts, bubble coats. Recently, my best buddy Pam taught me how to make bubble cuffs, so I have added them to some of my recent sweaters and hoodies. The other day, it occurred to me that I might be able to add them to the fleece scarves I'm playing with. So, with some thoughtful engineering, I have been able to create scarves with bubble ends. The real fun? Being able to use extra sleeves (cut off from tees to make our flutter line) and cuffs to create some really unique pieces. For this creation, we found the perfect tie dyed baseball fleece. Scouting about in the studio, I grabbed some super soft red polka dotted minky and started my bubbles! The result is this baseball scarf, perfect for the year-round fan. I love being able to stick my hands into the bubbles when it gets cold!! Fun, fun!

Scarf, Anyone?
First, I want to apologize for being gone so long. As a designer, artist, mom, daughter, wife, friend and utility player, I let my time get away without posting. No more. I will do better as I have some fun creativity that I want to share!
Recently, Nikki and I have been into scarves. Maybe because we have had such a warm fall here in Atlanta, or just because we can't resist all the cool fleece patterns in the fabric stores- we are ready to wear them. So, we've been creating----both for the Etsy site and as gifts for friends for Christmas. Ck our carwash style out, and get inspired yourself! We love this one for anytime you need a pick me up.
See it on Etsy--- we had to keep one, and made another for the site. http://www.etsy.com/listing/87050277/ladies-or-girls-fun-fleece-scarf-xxoo
