Its been awhile..but here goes nothing... :)

You know how being a parent, there are some days you want to drag yourself into a corner and just cry.....mainly because you wonder if you are doing a good job.. or if your kids are actually HEARING any thing you say....
I have those days a lot... However, then something comes along and BAM!  You just become so darn proud of one, or two or all of your kiddos' it totally makes all the bad days TOTALLY worth it! :)
On Christmas day, My two oldest kids (ages 9 and 10) decided to start their own organization to help other children. Specifically, the children of St. Judes.  This was all their doing (not ours).  So they two of them brainstorming and came up with an Organization called, "Tiles of Love". Their goal is to create and sell unique Tile Art to raise funds for St. Jude’s Children Hospital. A portion of proceeds will go directly to the Hospital along with being able to create Tile Art for the Children at the Hospital.They have a passion for being able to help those in need and their mission is to help those in need by spreading joy and laughter through our unique creations of Tile Art.

I love this. I love that something we have done, somewhere along the way, its actually TOUCHING a nerve in their brains, and in their hearts and souls and they are wanting to reach out and help others!

You can find our more on their Mission by visiting:  www.TilesofLove.org   and they even have a campaign going on right now to raise money for their Supplies at

Picture!!

I'm copying this straight from my other Blog...I thought you all would like to see it as well>

This is not the best pic of this dress...and hardly any details can be seen..but this is made with a little heavier material than I would make for a flower girl dress.......

but you can change it up and make it a cute suumer or spring dress too.
This particular dress has wide lace that criss crosses in the back..  

 

It sort of reminds me of a flapper dress, without all the additional ruffles layers!

It's Friday!

What a great start to Friday.  The older two kids school was delayed a couple of hours because of ice on the roads, which means we all were able to sleep a couple extra hours.
The littlest boss, slept good as well and is still currently asleep.  Hopefully this means, that they will all have a good day today.

Tonight I will be able to get some pictures of the newest dress that I have made that, made with a different type of material, would make the SWEETEST flower girl dress.  I can not wait.

Until then, pleases go and visit our new website at Kalli+Alba.  We are now able to do Trunk Shows virtual.  If you are interested in receiving half price or free items, just hold a trunk show.  You will get a special link and password for your guest and they can visit the trunk show link and buy.

This is a very exciting time.

Also, please go and check out Fine Mess Designs for all your logo/graphic design needs.

Trunk Show Fun

We are so excited to announce, finally that our website, is not finally able to host virtual trunk shows.
After putting in many many hours fixing it up, it is now a reality!  ;)
We've been busy in the studio sewing up new, never before seen designs from Kalli+Alba girls line while tech team has been going non stop getting everything ready.
Its very exciting.  Now we need to know, who all is interested in hosting an online virtual trunk show?   These designs will only be shown at the virtual and in home trunk show, and you'll have to have a private password so you and your guests can shop.  These will not be seen any other place except during this trunk show (except of course when your little princesses are wearing Kalli+Alba.
The littlest boss (Alba) and the little bit bigger boss (Kalli) are super excited to start wearing the latest trunk show fashions that they helped design. However, they've decided to wait to show their fashions until AFTER a few trunk shows have been held.  We currently have several people gearing up for trunk shows, and some have already scheduled.
Will you be next?  Want some clothes at half off/of even free?

Hurry on over to Kalli+Alba and fill out the form today and We'll contact you with all the information!
You can find the form under "Host a Trunk Show".

New Website!

We have had a facelift! Our new site is up and running and is AWESOME! I can not tell you how many hours we have put into this site but finally, its working and it looks really great!!!

Please click HERE to see it!

Yesterday, my new fabric arrived.  It was like Christmas morning. I was able to to wash, dry and iron it all and get started on some beautiful new designs/samples for our upcoming trunk shows.
Why would I do a trunk show for my girls line?--many people have asked?

Well, you can buy straight out from me, or have  few samples of some of the designs setup somewhere, invite some friends over who also want to order, and you could get clothes for your girls for half price or even free, depending on the size of your show.  Wouldn't that be awesome!  All the details are listed over at our official website at www.kallialba.com   I think this is going to be very exciting as Trunk Show are already filling the calender.
Not only that, wedding season is here and our KAB (Kalli Alba Bridal) has been filling the calender with orders of bridal, vow renewal and flower girl gowns (fun!!!) I love weddings!

Anyway, I hope you've all been well and have a great weekend!  I might try to get into the Studio today and get some more work done...or..since the sun is actually OUT, I might try to open all the blinds, let the sunshien and and play some games with the kiddo's.

It's Friday!!!!!!

It's Friday!
Yay!
What do you all have planned?  I have a whole bunch of fabric that is set to arrive today and I can not wait to get it in and start creating a few more things!  We are almost ready to launch our first Trunk Show. (So exciting).

Isn't this the cutest dress?
Is has a heart shaped bodice and is shirred in the back to make a better fit.
Ruffled Skirting can be made in any color (and any color can be on top).
I personally think this would have been adorable in a black/white damask top with the pink Ruffled bottom.
This will also look super adorable in all white for |Easter of for a Flower Girl dress.


Here is the back! It's so cute!!!

This is NOT the Flower girl dress that I have been working on, I just have not had time to finish it and get some great pictures! I hope to do that very soon!
