Stagi Works

  My sister Melissa and I opened a shop together a few months ago named project stockpile, selling all different craft supplies and such. A month or so into it we got to thinking why couldn't we do embroidery patterns? So we started selling patterns and art from my sister Melissa. We thought our shop name doesnt really reflect what we are doing here so the name game began. We came up with Stagi Works. Stagi is our maiden name and works is to pay om-age to our parents shop San Jose Stove Works. It seemed fitting, our shop is a bunch of our "works" of art. I hope you enjoy going through our store and maybe finding a thing or two you might need or maybe just want!

Here are a few patterns:

Chubby Girls

I think most of you all know by now I purchase older patterns and sell them. It is fun and neat to see all the older styles of clothes. I came across one that made me a little upset to be honest, take a look.

Can you see what the fine print says???? (not suitable for chubby girls) WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!

First its a tent dress people, what a better way for a chubby girl to cover up. This company would so not be able to get away with this kind of thing today, I guess in 1967 you could get away with this. When I mentioned it to my sister she was shocked and said you have to blog about it, so here I am. 

What do you all think? To see more of the patterns I have take a look at my shop click here. 

Whats for dinner? We are having turkey tenderloin, rice and vegies.

Doll Speak

They are like the old song you hear on the radio that takes you back to those hot summer days when you've played hard all day, you can barely keep your eyes open to eat dinner and then you crawl into your nice cool sheets. Inside that bed is the soft friend with the crooked smile and button eyes who knows all your childhood secrets. You wrap you arm around your doll, telling her or him what you really think of brussel sprouts while drifting off to sleep.
That same doll sits on your bed everyday waiting for you to come home from school to hear about your day. You can love them, squeeze them, kiss them and in some cases pinch them if you must!
