Thanks for checking out my designs, friends. :)

lots of BIG news...

It's been a long, LONG time since I posted...

but there has been a lot going on in my world.

The biggest news?

My belly! :)

I can't tell you how happy & blessed my little family feels to add a sweet baby girl to the mix. It's been a long journey to have kids... Miracles are real, folks.

Also, we finally moved into our brand new house!

Moving while sick & pregnant was a challenge to say the least. Yikes. Thank heaven for my husband, parents, little brother, and a couple of kind friends who helped SO much. The nausea has subsided in the past few days, so get ready for lots of decorating and baby girl projects in the very near future!

Lastly, remember the fabric design dreams that I posted about?

Well, two of my designs were picked to be sold on Minted.com!!!

"Looping Scrawl" Fabric by Kacey Kendrick Wagner for Minted.com

"Tangle" Fabric by Kacey Kendrick Wagner for Minted.com

I got to make a bunch of different color ways that will be sold very soon. Eeeeek! I'm so excited. I'll be sure to post when my fabrics are live on the site.

Yay! Thanks for letting me share my happy thoughts.

(I've missed this dear blog-o'-mine!)

fabric design...

I have been a busy little bee lately, but haven't had much opportunity to share what I've been working on. Here's the scoop...

I asked for a sewing machine for my birthday nearly five years ago. It was then that the world of fabric was opened to me. I remember thinking, "I had no idea all this cute fabric existed. Wouldn't it be fun to design all these patterns?" Ever since then, I've had fabric design hanging out in the back of my mind. I realized I would need to learn how to design pattern repeats and how to use Adobe Illustrator. Recently, I've really worked to make those things happen. 

My Illustrator skills are still basic, but the only way to learn is to keep trying. So when I saw a contest for fabric designs on minted.com...I decided to give it a shot!

Here are my designs.  

Some are more successful than others, but I had a blast working on them.

Minted challenge winners are determined by popular vote. Any one can head over to the challenge entries and rate the designs from 1-5.  If you'd like to support me, my designs are located on this page.  However, I encourage you to vote for any that you really like. There are a lot of really great patterns! Voting for this challenge ends 2/9/15.

business...

My little business is moving right along over here, so I am about to run out of business cards.  I decided to go with a new design this time around.  I wanted something really simple, with basic information, that coordinates with my latest blog design.  What do you think?

And, now since my business card and blog are all freshly updated, I couldn't leave out my etsy shop.  I had to make a new shop banner, obviously. :)

At the moment, I also happen to be surrounded by satin flower clips as far as the eye can see...

I'm definitely not complaining, though.

My deal on VeryJane.com did really well, for which I am so, SO grateful.

With part of my earnings, I was even able to buy myself a little present...

Hello, Sizzix Big Shot!

It's really an investment in my little business since it can cut fabric...and felt!  

(Which is like a dream come true for me. :) )

Anyway, there is lots of business and "busy-ness" going on over here!  Once I'm done with all of these satin clips, I'll be able to get back to some craft tutorials.  I've got a wreath form and some dress fabric calling my name...

a few little things...

sometimes i want to wear a cute hair accessory, but don't want to have a giant embellishment on my head just want something subtle.  so i came up with a new hair clip design - tearose cluster clips.

 they are similar to my other cluster clips, just smaller and simpler.

 

great for pinning your hair back from your face, livening up a boring ol' bun, or clipping to a headband.

i also added a petite rosette to a headband, just for kicks...

 all are available in the shop.

oh!  and did you notice my cute little buttons in the sidebar?  i did a little blog revamp last weekend (with some generous help from the hubs) and i'm loving it!
