SO EXCITED.....I can hardly stand it!

SO....ARE YOU READY??  You have seen all the "It's a Hoot" previews, which has to be by far my favorite girly fabric.  Well after all the pattern making, sample testing, and vigorous washing to test my products, I have my first full sample set done! 

I left the front of the Crib off so you can see the fabric completely.  One of the COOLEST things about this crib set, besides the awesome cool fabric from Ghana, is that the bumper has been made to accommodate your toddler as they move up to their toddler bed!

The front is sewn as a separate panel!  So as your child transitions into their toddler bed, their bumper can stay as part of their bedding.  And there is more........are you ready?

 It's REVERSIBLE!  So this crib set is not only super funky and adorable, but is made with HAND batiked fabric from women in Ghana AND when you purchase a set you will also be sending a MATTRESS to an orphan in South Africa through our partnership with Horizon International. Steve and I are not making ANY profit from this ministry, ALL profits will be going back into global and local ministries that work to fight poverty as well as supporting the local church to support missionaries and raise up leaders.

So, are you convinced that Two Little Fish is going to be the COOLEST bedding supplier known to man?

If so.....here's how you can help.....

Are you looking to buy crib bedding or a new Twin comforter for your child?  We are in need of 3-4 sample clients to purchase our bedding as a precursor to our launch.  You will receive an introductory discount as well as the ability to CHOOSE which fabrics you want me to use for your set.  This is a ONE time opportunity!  Based on the availability of the fabric, our initial line of bedding will be listed for sale after it is manufactured....but you have the opportunity to choose your STYLE AND FABRIC FAMILY!

Looking for a new TWIN comforter?  I have not shown any previews of those yet, but they are in the making.  They will showcase appliques of the Ghanian fabric in fun and whimsical designs for boys and girls.  You have the opportunity to CHOOSE your THEME AND FABRIC!

If you are interested in this opportunity, please email me at roseyswife@gmail.com.  I will choose 3-4 WINNERS within two weeks.

Gratefulness amidst the Chaos

It's finished!  The room has been done for a couple months now...but I just now got it clean enough to show you on the blog! :)

 AND my fabric is all tagged and inventoried thanks to some special girls at Northview WL!

 This next picture I attribute to Jess Snell of Rockin B Design she has been instrumental in teaching me how to take my hobby to the next level of being a manufactured product.  I love you girl!  Thanks so much!

Here is a quick peek at some of the African fabrics we use in our bedding sets that you can find           HERE at www.twolittlefish.com

.....and I just couldn't resist adding my favorite Marilyn Monroe picture that I purchased when I first graduated.  I (used to) love to workout....and thought this was the coolest picture of Girl Power!  Of course, now that I have aged (some) and have six children, it is inappropriate to grace my entry way...but perfect for my little home in the basement!

This next picture is the most special...I have never had an older wise woman teach me her sewing skills.  I just adore older women that sew and LOVE the opportunity for them to teach me.  Steve lost his mom at age 11, but still has her sewing machine, her sewing box and the picture on the left was her manual....HOW COOL.  Her picture is on the right...even though I didn't get the opportunity for her to teach me, it has been really neat for Steve and I both to have a little bit of her presence in the room.

So....that's the finished product!  I have had a day of feeling so blessed...to be honest though, I had to take a break from the ministry over the holidays....mostly due to the schedule, but also due to the fact that I needed a respite.....It has been REALLY hard balancing this task that God has asked of me with making new friends, helping out at church, being a good wife...oh and of course the six kids.  But what God reveled to me in his timing, was that after the month of respite.....although I felt less tired and stressed....I also felt less fulfilled, less joy, less purpose.  I realized that God knew I would be bored with the regular.  Thus why he asked me to take on this task of creating a manufactured product line that would support local and global poverty...how else would I be able to saturate my children in a culture that is not ours?  How else would I be able to sufficiently show my children the reality of poverty around us and around the globe. What better way to show my children how to live a life dedicated to obedience and service to God than to show them by my own behavior!  God finally bestowed me with the wisdom that I am grateful for this opportunity and privileged that he asked this of me...yes it comes with more time management issues, more stress, more on my to do list...but I am GRATEFUL!

We have had a great year of preparation and we are getting so close to having a website with products up for SALE...  Please pray for god to continue to bring the right people to us for product brochures, web design and video production.  If you know of anyone who has skills in these areas that may be interested in doing some contract/free lance work can you comment under the Facebook feed.  It's gonna be soon peeps....at least we can say a definite launch of products in 2012! Hooray
