Let's just call it August.


Here in Sonora, the humidity has hit. 
It is almost August and we can look forward to 
about two months of hot and humid weather.
sitting under the air conditioning is the go-to daily activity. 
Get the outdoor work done early in the morning and evening. 
I am happy to have an indoor project to get busy with! 

    


Last year (2017) I didn't organize a fashion show because 
our first grand-daughter was due in October. 
She just turned 9 months old and is a little sweetheart.  

 

O. And, I was also planning a very special family event -
A 55 year anniversary party for my parents. 
SO...
We are already more than halfway through 2018 
. . .time to start planning! 

Check out the FASHION SHOW Page on this Website 
to see photo albums from all of the past shows.



Stay cool this summer.  
"Sewing Forever; Housework Whenever!"

Boom. . . and it's over!


 ๐Ÿ’‹Wow!  So much sewing until I think my eyes just may have crossed. 
Just a tiny bit of stress (you could probably ask Russ or Bethany about that). 
The anticipation makes me completely crazy... 
๐Ÿ’ฅis there gonna be wind๐Ÿ’จ, is it gonna be cold⛅, hot๐Ÿ”ฅ, miserable⛈, wonderful☄, 
Blah, blah, blah... 

Everyone involved was working so hard to get all the little "moving parts" (as Russ calls them) in order. 

And, then "BOOM" . . . in the end we had one big o' fun afternoon. 
Well, I hope you enjoyed it. So, here are a few photos. 

First of all. . . 
Tony shot a few photos just before the models went "on"
So, he captured a bit of the "Anxiety" jitters... ha ha

Almost Ready. . .  


Then, Manny took some fantastic photos onstage. 
The photo shoot idea worked out pretty cool.
So here are the Collections: 

The Dancer's Dresses Collection:  Flamenco, Tango, Ballroom... 

Dahlia's Collection ~ Inspired from her Treasures at Casa Turquesa  

The Fun and Funky Collection ~ Randi, Karen, Roxanne and Adry

These are all the Party Dress collection ~ Pom-poms, Bling, Sequins, Beadwork . . ."Party On" 

and, we mixed it up with some entertainment this time. 
Michelle bringing a little taste of Flamenco to the Day.  Notice my "Flamingo-Flamenco" Dress design 
 All in fun the play on words there . . . with a giant flamingo face on the shawl

Marissa modeled for me and also brought her dancers from Destiny Dance Academy. Adorable and talented girls!

"Models for a Moment"
All of these ladies graciously showed off  SweetNaomi ReCreation designs that they own... ❤


 Ashley made the model hairdo's all so lovely ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š







 How do you get 20 people to all look stunningly beautiful at one moment? 
OK.  Well, we tried.  We really did.  
(You are never gonna get one photo where 20 Ladies all think they look good. 
SIMPLY not gonna happen . . . huh Manny?) 

I believe it is way better to just have FUN with it!   
Enjoy the laughter.... 







I am very happy to work with Dahlia. She has been involved as a Designer with each 
 Fashion Show since the first one I did in 2013. I absolutely love the fact that Dahlia 
also recycles or “ReCreates” clothing into some really trendy, great new styles! 
Thank you Dahlia! 


Thank you . . .  and, Thank You a second time  - to everyone who attended! 

 I was absolutely so very, very thrilled that my Bethany
 could be here at my side for this event this year.  
She makes me feel happy 
and I think we give each other a little extra confidence. 



"The Things We Do for Fashion"
A compilation video Russ and I put together from the 4 prior fashion shows.
