a few projects

though filling spicy orders is extremely fun and fulfilling :), it is also fun to "let our hair down" creatively. steph and i thrive on "creating new." it's our sanity outlet.

i personally have been working on a few of those "hair down" projects the past two weeks during my son's naps - and oh, what a rush! i LOVE spending some quality time with my simple sewing machine and iron. :)

hello, friends!

seems like i'm always mentioning that we're still here despite the obvious lack of communication. and since communication is my "department," i apologize for the serious slackishness {which isn't a word though it should be}.

here's the deal - steph and i have been extremely preoccupied with our families this past year.
and one of our stipulations in starting spicy designs was that we would never let the business take priority over our families. so we haven't. we've worked on various projects here and there, but the original gusto in which we started spicy has faded...just a bit. so we have decided to rework a few things - one of which is our website. we are letting go of our website since it has proven to do little for us by way of interest and sales.

OUR BLOG AND ETSY SHOP, HOWEVER, WILL REMAIN ACTIVE. everything else about us - love for custom orders, new designs, and bright colors - will remain the same. we will have a slue of scripture bags ready soon - just in time for the holiday season! so feel free to visit those two sites often {we promise to try harder and communicate more frequently :) }.

and as always, thanks so much for your support!

making babies and bags

well friends, it's been a L-O-N-G time. the only defense i have going for me is this: i have been making a baby. :) i am now 36 weeks along and totally exhausted. a lot of "life" has been put on hold during this amazing process, including almost all things spicy. in some ways that makes me feel sad inside, but we were not created to do it all. and so spicy has been set on the back burner...which is set to "warm" not "off." :)


as always, we have lots of completely fabulous products available in our etsy shop, so please feel free to stop by there to fulfill the need for your sister's birthday present, niece's graduation, or mother's day gift.

we are here. we still make awesome bags and such. we are just juggling a few other life happenings as well.

love always, al

chaos, life's priorities, and a show

wow. talk about missing in action! we are currently recovering from a condition many of you have experienced at some point in your life - a huge overturn and completely chaotic rearrangement of life's priorities. a battle between what is required, what is expected, what is desired, and what one is actually capable of handling <-----that's always been the real clincher for us!

apparently we were closer to the "not so capable of handling it all" point then we thought. so please accept our sincere apologies for our temporary absence. we are here. and we still wish to spread spiciness across the globe! :) we are excited to participate in the oh sweet sadie! holiday show at soda row shopping district in daybreak, utah next month. we will be featuring several new and exciting products at the show, so be sure to stop by and check it out! the oh sweet sadie! holiday show is november 11-13 with a special pre-show party on wednesday, november 10 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. the pre-show party is by invitation only, so if you'd like to attend, let us know and we'll add you to the guest list!

one of the great products we will be featuring at the show is our iliana baby girl blazer. perfect for this lovely fall weather, our iliana blazer comes in sizing for 18 months, 2T, 3T, & 4T. the iliana has a designer fabric exterior, fully lined interior, and coordinating fabric details - pockets, cuffs, and collar. all of these great features for $35.00!


we are also working on revamping our website a bit, so if you have any feedback on how to make it awesome, please feel free to let us know!

and as always, thanks for supporting spicy designs!

loves, steph & al
