SoAA's theme for June is western/cowboy, so ... yeehaw. :D

While I was working on the set, it grew into a reversible apron top, 2 pairs of capris and 2 coordinating headbands.
I started this set out thinking I'd just do a pair of wide-legged capris out of MM's "Yippee" print & an apron-style halter top w/ the retro cowgirl applique. But I just couldn't waste the other side of the apron top, so I decided to put a little red bandana trim on it. And of course, since it had bandana trim on it, it needed a pair of matching capris. And the matching capris needed a little pocket with the "sweetheart" shape at the top like the apron top. And the set needed another headband. Yeah. Last time I did a "mini-set" (the vintage tablecloth pants & accessories) and this time I'm doing a mega-set. :p

There are a million more pics in the auction ... I had a hard time explaining the outfit with my auction text ... I hope ppl will understand it! lol

And of course, I needed to do a coordinating retro cowgirl bag for the mamas. Yes, I'm still on my bag kick ... so I had to make one to sort of go with the western theme. lol!
Dying camera batteries, sorry about the pics. I'm kicking myself hard for not recharging the batteries!

Thanks for letting me share!!

Very cute Julia. I love it!!! YEEHAW. LOL you have a great way with words. :) We have the same thinking...I just tried the apron shirt the other day.

ETA: LOL the cow"guy" is cute IMO too!!! :)

Oh man, you know I love that! Super cute!

I went and looked at your auction and you have some absolutely perfect pictures of Rio. They are all beautiful. Those big brown eyes...you captured her for sure. You're making me actually like the western theme with that set! What a great job, and it is a MEGA set. Hope it does great for you. It sure should! :)

Thanks mamas! :)

I just looked at the SoAA auctions and noticed Rio's picture is all over the place ... it looks like I have 8,624 auctions up. lol! They're not all mine, I just lent Rio out for pics. :D

That girl is in BIG demand! :)

Cute cute cute set Julia! I really love everything, especially the bag! :) Off to look at your auctions now. (I got outbid on the mini-set! :( )

That is SO awesome Julia! I'm so loving it!!!

Absolutely gorgeous...just perfect...so is the bag. Rio is lovely as usual :) I only wish I had a small girl to fit into it!

Okay, sorry to butt in on your S&S thread, but I was looking at auctions and I'm confused! LOL Is your biz Abracadoodles? Because there seems to be two different usernames that uses the Abracadoodles name in the auction template... Hmmmm

It is sort of confusing, isn't it? Abracadoodles belongs to my sister Darla (itstigger) and I. We used to do batik & florals for craft fairs & were named "Abracadoodles".
When I started selling on eBay, I just used Abracadoodles since that was our business name. Darla *just* started listing on eBay, so now we both list separately under our own I.D.s (itstigger & oceanna), but both use the Abracadoodles name & logo.
I didn't explain that very well, did I? :o Or is it just confusing, period? lol!

Oooh, that is cute.

So, I need a new purse <hint hint> Have munki, will trade.

Julia, you do such amazing work!!!

Thanks sooo much. EBay is so slow right now, I think I just keep plugging away simply because I want to do sew & shows here. LOL!

Allison ... M m m munki? You obviously know my weaknesses well. :p Jlmk what sort of bag you're dreaming of, and I'll look around and see what I have. :D

wow, that is very cute. I really like the button on the purse, lol.

Also, I must say.....your sig pic cracks me up!

S~

Absolutely adorable.

BTW, I think that your last "charm" bag sold for a *steal*! I wish I had bid on it. :D

Wow, what beautiful work! Every detail just looks absolutely perfect. And I am swooning over that bag!
