The 12 Days Christmas By Love Elaine

Yes, I know its January and I am just posting my Holiday recap - but its better late than never right? (At least that has always been my motto!) So, without further ado - I give you the 12 Days of Christmas Love Elaine style :)

On the 25th of December, Christen finally was able to rest after sewing...

1 reversible place mat (with an IOU to my Mom that I will finish the rest sometime soon)
1 Christmas table runner to match a Christmas Tree Skirt ;)
2 pleated tote bags
3 international orders fulfilled
4 wine bags
7 half aprons PLUS 2 full aprons
9 birdie slings
11 Christmas Stockings
19 jewelry bags
Annnndddd, 25 Christmas Tree Skirts in all shapes and sizes, 22 of them custom!!!!!!

Thank you everyone who supported Love Elaine this Holiday season - my first! And my first on Etsy! I had no idea the level of response I would receive! Thanks to Mom & Grandma for helping and keeping me sane (and for understanding that your gifts are on back order!). I am coming out of my much needed break from sewing, so I'll be posting new items for sale in my Etsy shop soon, finishing past due orders (thank goodness I have understanding friends as customers!) and keeping everyone in the loop as I figure out what 2010 will have in store for Love Elaine!

Holiday Hostess Aprons

Whether you are hosting a huge gang or just plan on making a few pies during the holidays, (or if you just want something girlie to put on when you happen to step into the kitchen?!) we've got the perfect accessory to bring out your inner Betty Crocker! Because, baking is more fun when you're wearing a super cute apron!






You can more holiday aprons in my Etsy shop!

Not Your Grandma's Apron

No offense to your Grandma or her apron, but this girlie hostess apron is sure to flip her skirt! This apron is now listed in my Etsy shop! Be on the lookout for more girlie, vintage-inspired aprons just in time for your holiday entertaining!

Ready for Fall?!

This weekend, I faced my denial and embraced the new fall weather. Is it me, or did the leaves change over night?! The view outside of my office is just bursting with bright orange and red!


Are you ready for fall? Why not give your fall wardrobe a handmade make-over with a new tote!


You can purchase this one now on Etsy!

Jewelry: Its In The Bag!

Although it doesn't look like much, this little bundle of fabric and ribbon packs a big punch when traveling with your jewelry! I've given plenty of these as gifts with friends for various holidays and occasions with a pair of earrings or a necklace to rave reviews! Each one can also sit on your dresser or night stand at home to hold all of your "every day" jewelry that often gets left lying around after the day's wear.

They are $15/ea. and I can do them in any color combination (to match a bedroom or a bag) and in multiples (think bridesmaids!). I will have more photos of these soon, as I have a few orders to do! Email me if you are interested and we can talk fabric - which of course if my favorite thing to talk these days!
