I am a stay-at-home mother of 5 (22,19,12,10,5) and homeschool my three youngest. I've been married to my wonderful husband Greg for almost 14 years. Besides sewing I love to read (Harry Potter, Twilight, Kingdom Keepers) watch movies and play with my kids. My son is about to get married and he has 2 children. Yep, I'm a Nana (NOT grandma!) to Rylee 5, and Korben 3.

TFG Member Spotlight
Congrats to Deann - she's our 1st TFG Spotlight Designer! Deann is one of TFG's founding designers and one of our Fearless Leaders. Take a little time to get to know her.
My Name is Deann and I am the designer and Seamstress behind KaraJes*Designs. I like to sew and applique anything!! I make childrens clothing, adult t-shirts, bib, purses...you name it and I'll try it! My favorites to create are Disney Vacation pieces and I love one-of-a-kind projects!
How Did I get started in the Boutique business? After my trip to Disney World in 2006, I knew I would be going back (frequently) so I registered on the DISboards to get as much information as I could. I found the DISBoutique thread and saw the awesome Disney customs that people were putting on their children for Disney Trips. I decided I wanted my children to wear those and have awesome character interactions as well!! Once I saw how much people were paying for those, I decided pretty quickly I wouldn't be buying any. My mother convinced me I could make my own, and there you go!
The first set I ever sold on ebay was a 2 piece Cinderella set. It was an appliqued peasant top and a layered tulle skirt made from a fabric storybook.
Everytime I make something new, I say "That's my new favorite!!" But if I had to choose only 1 design as my Favorite it might (just maybe) be the Stepsisters set that I recently made for my youngest.
I love custom orders! My Favorite orders are one-of-a-kind creations that my customers and I create together. I can be found on Facebook, etsy, and ebay. I do have a blog, but I am so horribly bad at keeping up with it. If it weren't for Leslie, The*Fairy*Godmothers blog would be just as neglected.
I personally want to thank Leslie for everything she does for TFG. Muah!
Thanks Deann!!
