Autumn Blossom - Flower Hair Clip or Pin Brooch

I whipped this up to wear to a fundraiser last night for the Valley Achievement Center, which is a special school for children with Autism.  The dress needed a little something for my hair, so I layered brown and cream felt, topped it off with a nest of chocolate brown French knots.

I think it would look fabulous on a scarf or lapel too!

Gap Navy and Pink Whale Hair Clip Match

Making the whale clip to match the Jeanine Johnsen outfit inspired me to make a match for Julia's Gap whale T-shirt.  I don't think it is still being sold in Gap stores, but I think it is such a cute little shirt, and Julia really likes it.  She has some cute whale jammies from Gap as well.

Navy and Pink Splash the Whale Hair Clip or Pin $6.50

Jeanine Johnsen Pink and Navy Whale Match

A recent request had me matching this adorable line by Jeanine Johnsen.  I modified "Splash" to coordinate by removing his flipper, closing his mouth, and adding a spread double spout.  

Peace on Earth

The second holiday design I drew-up today is a white dove.  She is hand embroidered with white and baby blue embroidery thread.  Inside is a 1.5 inch snap clip.

Pammy Dawn - International

This evening, as I was contemplating a recent order to the UK, I thought it would be interesting to plot all the locations I've shipped Pammy Dawn creations since opening shop in March.  

I stumbled upon this website after searching to plot locations on a map - it allowed me to enter locations of all the clips/pins I've shipped to date, and .... voila!  Instant map!  You can even click the little points on the map, and up pops the location name.  Zoom in or see the map in Satellite photo view!  So much fun!  I think I'll be sure to keep this updated - find this tool on the left-hand side of my blog.  Just click the colorful flag globe!
