It's Carnival Time! Mardi Gras Appliques and Ribbons


Down in New Orleans
Where the blues was born
It takes a cool cat
To blow a horn
On LaSalle and Rampart Street
The combo's there with a mambo beat


The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo
Party Gras, pambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras, mambo-ooh
Down in New Orleans

Can you tell I have Purple, Gold and Green on my mind lately? :-)

If all goes well and "Lil' J" takes a nap then I'm planning to sew a sample of the Mardi Gras truck design (in picture above) on a white kitchen towel today... excited to stitch out this design :-)

***SAMPLE DESIGN: MARDI TRUCK UPDATE 1/18/2011***
"Lil J" did nap, but woke up SUPER cranky & w/blood in his right ear, so I had to "pause" this design on my machine while I ran around the house "like a chicken with her head cutoff", then dropped off "Miss C" at my dear sweet friend Amy's house so "Miss C" could play w/her BFF... and rushed off to the pediatrician 30 miles away after 5pm?! It was a madhouse. We survived. It's another ear infection(s). I predict bilaterl tube set #2 will be very soon in "Lil J's" future! *boo*Here's the sample design...
Also for hair-bows I have in-stock all the grosgrain ribbons shown in above picture, in addition to solid yellow and solid dark purple in 7/8", 1.5", & 2.25"widths.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!
