We stayed very busy through the pandemic with family projects. Life seemed to slow down and speed up at the same time.  We are the proud new owners of 16 needle embroidery machines and are having a blast creating designs and stitching them out.  We have been asked by several people to do some small jobs.  We really enjoy the work and working together, so we have decided to officially create ElleCie Designs LLC.  We stitched out a lot of lace for a prom dress. It took two hours to stitch out one.  We needed six. We have made patches for the Walla Walla Sheriff's  Office. They had a community event, so we stitched out super hero patches for them.  We also stitched out pink badges to support cancer awareness. We stitched out aprons for Sue's Turkey Drive. The picture was designed by Sue's Grand-daughter. We have made patches for the high school girls tennis team. We have made numerous bags, which we have been told have too many pockets, but we respectfully disagree. Can you h

My mom came up with this design while she and my dad were living in London.  The crafting/sewing world is much different in London and she had few supplies to work with.  She was going a bit stir crazy without a sewing project, so she created this beautiful wallet design with bits and pieces of fabric that she had.  Each wallet had a zipper pocket, four credit cards slots and one slot for cash.   The outside fabric of these wallets is from a suit and the inner fabrics are cotton.  They come in a variety of complimentary colors. These fun wallets have a magnetic closure.

We energetically finishing the final touches on our current projects for the Farmer's market in Provo Utah on August 23.  Our families would choose a different word than energetically, obsessive, or manically is a bit closer to the truth.  We remind them that this is the beginning and we are working and figuring out things that we don't have to do again.  There is a feeling of hope, but not complete trust that this is true.  We have pictures of the new products that we are taking with us.  We would love to know what you think. These are our treasure bags. These fun bags are snap bags.  The top open and close with a fun snapping noise and are strong enough to keep the treasures inside. They come in multiple cotton fabrics and are the perfect size for party favors, holding snacks for car trips or outings, containing charge cords or accessories for electronic devices.  There are also great for holding odds and ends in backpacks, suitcases, or just about anywhere. We really lov

We are really sorry for the lack of communication, but we are getting ready for our first farmers market.  We have a booth at the farmers market in Provo, UT on August 23.  We are excited and nervous at the same time.  We have pictures coming soon of our new creations, our cinch sacks, wallets, embroidered shirts, luggage tags, and treasure bags.  We are working hard and having a great time improving our initial designs.  Our new products will be available in our Etsy shop soon. 

We've had our first sale and first custom order. Yay! Thanks Nikki for taking a chance on us. We made her a great blue and yellow canvas bag. This bag is 14x17x6 made of canvas and cotton. We love all the pockets - five pockets roomy enough for glasses, phones, check books or whatever; two pen pockets, a huge pocket with Velcro closure that will hold file folders, notebooks or loose papers; a hidden zipper pocket and four pockets on the outside of the bag. There is a spot for everything!

We really appreciate all the love and support from all our family, friends, and those that liked our products so far.  We have received our first order for a custom bag and we are really excited about creating a one-of-a-kind bag for Nikki.  Thanks for your confidence in us. Thank you for your patience with us as we figure out how to share our creations.  Mom and I had a business meeting to discuss our plans for ElleCie Designs and what we want to do next.  After much discussion, and a big snow cone, we have decided that we are going to feature one of our products each week.  The featured item will be discounted at our Etsy Store, Elleciedesigns for that week.  On our blog we will post either a free pattern or share tips that are connected with the featured product. We also talked about some projects that we were interested in doing next, (it was a pretty big snow cone).  We design our own patterns and have a great time problem solving the tricky spots we find ourselves in.  We hav
