NEW to the farm!!!
My eldest daughter and I created a new product line (it was all her brilliant idea) called
"the sweet life"
here's a peek at what we've been creating for the May event together:
![]() |
| adorable hand-stitched stuffed little birdies to perch on top of your cake and colorful - striped bunting *made by daughter* |
cupcake toppers...

| *made by daughter* |
a few items I have been working on...

| hand embroidered kitchen towels (made from antique linen from Scotland) |

let me just say, she has inspired me...
*thank you sweet daughter*
We have had so much fun with this new product line...and there is so much more I didn't share here...
I have SO broken out of my box with working with only linen products, and now have
embraced recycled felt (like on the cake I made for her display) and vintage trims I have had
accumulating...always loved the colors, and now have a use for them!
a great way to brighten up your days! is working with color!!
xo + "sweet life" blessings,







I LOVE this! What amazing talent she has. These little birdies make me want to smile...and smile big.
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet, Anne Marie! What a creative and talented daughter you have! The towel you made is beautiful as well... the colors are really fun!

ReplyDeleteabsolutely adorable. love the color, love the happiness. she is so talented. can't wait for the sale.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you need an agent, a marketing director, a publicist...and a personal assistant....Let's get this girl a contract with some big wig decorating company!
ReplyDeleteToo much talent to be confined to the rural midwest, I'm talking about the both of you. You must go global!!! I'm not being sassy or sarcastic here....I'm for real!
Oh wow Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteyour daughter has great talent!
BEAUTIFUL!

ReplyDeleteHi Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteOh sweet girl! you keep your little hands busy and your young creative mind growing..full of fun and creative ideas...I love your sweet birdies and the striped bunting.You are doing a wonderful job!
I remember when I was your age too, I was sewing my own clothes and make things all the time.
You are a dear heart and I love that you enjoy making things.
I look forward to seeing all the new things your sweet hands create..
Ann Marie I love the kitchen towel with the antique linen from scotland and the lace is so beautiful
the hand sewn flower and embroiderey is lovley.
Big hugs, Elizabeth
OMG, What totally "sweet" works of art; the reflection of a happy, joyful soul! What a wonderful idea, and I adore mother and daughter teams.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Gerri
Those little birds are so spring-y!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly sweet. Isn't it wonderful when you homeschool that your children have so much more time to be creative, industrious, and design their own businesses(if they want to). All of my children are creatively productive and they know how to lead(be in charge)of things...they are comfortable with leading and it comes easy for them. They have so much more confidence than I ever have. Yet they are generous, kind, and giving. I think your daughter's product line will be a great sucess!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing...I didn't realize that your hubby is a carpenter too. Has this recession been hard on him? Work is sooooo slow here in California...meaning there is not much building going on.
those are just damn cute! makes me ache for a spring party!
ReplyDeleteIt is all absolutely adorable Anne Marie! What a talented pair you two are :)
ReplyDeleteadorable. i am in love with this charming collection! i imagine you two working on this together and it warms my heart!
