Beachin' It!

Hi, friends!! We are in Gulf Shores and have been here for a couple weeks now. For those of you who do not know, we spend about 1/2 the month in Birmingham and 1/2 the month in Gulf Shores because of my husband's business. It's a crazy life, but we feel so blessed to be able to spend time at the beautiful beach! By the way, please come down here for vacations! I have not seen a drop of oil in a long time! It's just gorgeous! I just had to add a few pictures of it for you to see!

This is the first trip down here that we've had enough room to bring my embroidery machine!! Baby stuff takes up A LOT of space! I was pumped that my sweet husband made room for my machine! How thoughtful!! He didn't realize how much had to come with the machine! I had another 4 bags full of stuff and we were stuffed in the car, but it was well worth it (to me, at least!!!). I've been working on orders, but mostly making clothes for gifts and my sweetie, Ann Reese. Check out my picture of how I TRY to keep everything organized while we are here. I don't have my equipment to make complete outfits, but I'll get all those orders done as soon as we get back to B'ham next week. Thank you all for being patient with me! I hope to have equipment in both places soon!

Below are some things I've been working on down here. I'll take better pics soon. My stickin' camera died and the battery charger was one thing that didn't make it down! I'm going to buy one tomorrow, so I'll post pics of everything up close soon.

Again, thank you for all the orders and for your patience! I promise your outfits will be completed soon!

Oh My GOODNESS....FINALLY!!!!!!

I have to say, I'm not the "tech" person I thought I was when I'm trying to do something on my blog. Does anyone have trouble with this like I do? Probably not, I'm sure it's just me! I FINALLY figured out how to get pictures on the right side of all my appliques, thanks to a Facebook post and instructions from friends. Thank you all! Sadly, I've been working on it for months! Sorry to complain, please check out my applique choices on the right side of my blog!

ps-Now I'm having trouble with the background and template. Plus, my font changed on everything! IDK?!?!

Wedding gifts, gators, and tigers, OH MY!

This Gator outfit is one of my absolute favorite outfits, even though it's for a different team! Kindra wanted a pair of pants that would work for this shirt and a pumpkin shirt (coming soon), but I thought they needed a little something to pull in the blue, so I added detachable bows! You will see below how they look without the bows. Also, I added a bow to the gator to make it a little more girly! I hope Ava loves this outfit and wears it proudly on game days!


Spooky, NOT really, ghost outfit for sweet Zoe! She will be darling in this precious outfit when October comes! It won't be long! I decided to use minky dot (really soft raised dot) fabric for the white part of the ghost to give it a little something extra special. I hope she enjoys!


Wedding gifts! Don't you love the Saint's sign but in kitchen colors?!?! I love using the cross to add a little fabric to a kitchen towel. Think about the kitchen of your mom, sister, aunt, best friend, bride, etc. that you need to get a gift for, and let me know what colors would work for their kitchen. Make it personal with a monogram or fun with funky colors! You pick everything, or I can surprise you!


WAR EAGLE!!!!! Ann Reese is loving her first football season and cheers for the Auburn Tigers!

Football Confusion!!

How could I resist making this adorable outfit even though it's Alabama??? I know sweet Cami is going to look adorable in it! It's pretty crazy that I still haven't made an AU outfit, though! I made an AL before AU....I think I'm confused!

I also posted a few pics of different things I've monogrammed/appliqued for you to check out! I love the frame. I decided to spice it up a bit and give it a vintage edge. It just makes it a little special! I hope Zoe enjoys it!

Poor baby Ann Reese doesn't get any handmade clothes anymore (mommy is too busy making everyone else stuff), so I made sure I got this sweet outfit done for a shower we are going to soon. Her Lovey got it for her, and I can't wait to see her in it! Baby girls in blue are just too adorable!

I'm headed to Daphne Friday, so please let me know if you would like something done in the next two days. Thank you for all the Daphne/Baldwin county orders that I'll be bringing this weekend! I won't have my machine with me for a couple of weeks. Thanks!

4,000 hits!!!!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe that Barefoot Designs got to 4,000 hits!!!!! I just want to thank everyone so much for your support, encouragement, and for enjoying my designs! It's the best feeling to see little ones in clothes I've made for them. I say many prayers for these babies as I work on their clothes. Barefoot Designs has an awesome future and is very excited to share it with you. Stay tuned for announcements next week!

A few shirts I've done lately.....
