Sorry that it seems I'm only doing Q's Day entries. I haven't forgotten, just some how the days are slipping by, and now I realize its Tuesday again.
I am still working on my PaciFashion Ties. I will have 6 new colors posted later this week, and am very excited about them. I hope to have them listed so that they can be purchased and mailed in time for Easter. There are 3 that are definitely meant for Spring. Just as I had promised weeks ago (maybe even a month ago by now) one of those ties is pink. Its OK because its not a pale, or pastel pink. I hope it will be received well. One Sunday at church, back when my family still lived in Lehi, I saw the handsomest little boy; spiked brunette hair, bright blue eyes, and he was wearing a pink button-up shirt. It was so absolutely darling!!
That's when I decided there was nothing wrong with little boys having some element of pink in their wardrobe. After all, my husband has a pink striped tie himself, and my dad, who is a doctor, has a pink button-up shirt. I've always been impressed with him when he wore it.
I am also working on a new way to present the Princess Jammies! They now are available in 7 colors: Pink, Lavender, Sage Green, Yellow, Purple, Red, Black (all have white lace trim, except Red has a red lace, and the Black has black lace). They are also in every size: 6-12 mo., 12-18 mo., 2T, 4T, 6, 8, 10, 12, and adult ladies sizes S, M, L. My mother-in-law is the talent behind each one, making them all by hand. She is able to teach me how to make them now that we live in the same area.
I promise to have pictures up on here as soon as I have them up for sale. I will also post some to me fan page on FaceBook. Happy Spring everyone!!
A great way to accessorize your little ones! Also not to mention eliminating the hunt for their binky, making it easier for mommy!

Q's Day - Tuesday
I can now make my apologies for my store not always being open, or up to date, and this blog not having entries.
For the past 4 weeks my family has been in the middle of a move. Usually there is time to prepare for making a move, especially when its across different states. However, we made the official decision to move 2 weeks before the move. The meant we had to take off a week to go house hunting, and then allowed ourselves a week to pack up and move away.
We are now located in the south eastern corner of Arizona, in a place referred to as the "Gila Valley". It is where my husband and I first met, and his home town. It took us some time to get internet set up in our home since the conventional way is not available to us. The move is complete, with internet, and pretty much every box has been emptied (or put in storage) getting us settled in. It makes me think of "The Incredibles" when she calls up her husband at work, and announces that they are officially moved in; even though they have been living in that home for the past 3 years.
I have recently done an inventory of what I have in stock; pacifashions made, or the materials to make them. I'm pleased to say that I have 29 different individual styles of PaciFashions, and 12 different types of the Ties. I have yet to make a tie in each style, but will soon be on my machine so that I can show you.
Sorry that my shop had been closed for a few weeks, and that there hasn't been any updates. I hope to keep my shop up to date on a consistent basis, and for this blog to be continued the way I had planned for all along.

Q's Day - Tuesday (All about the Boys Collection)
I've recently added a red/white Bandanna Tie to my collection.
I've been trying to make my boys collection larger, and not just with the ties. Speaking about ties, I do have plans to add more pastel colors to the tie collection for Spring. Those colors will include lavender, and pink. Pink is becoming a more widely accepted color for men. Heck, my dad has had a pink collared shirt since I was in high school, so I never thought much about men not wearing pink at all.
There's an adorable little boy in my neighborhood that has worn an adorable pink polo to church, and I just love it. Its actually because of him that I want to add pink as a tie. I do have my daughter posing a few ties for my store, so it has a small appeal for girls.
I've had a few suggestions on what to add to my boys collection, but I would like to hear more from you. Another idea that I have running through my head is customizing PaciFashions with embroidering. I'd LOVE feedback about that idea. I do want to hear more about what you'd like to see in my shop.

Q's Day - Tuesday
So Tuesday's will be "anything I feel like blogging about" day. I've decided that it might be nice for some introduction since you have taken your time to visit my blog, and I appreciate that.
My name is Lisl Quinn (hence the "Q"). My name comes from "The Sound of Music" which happens to be one of my favorite musicals. I'm 27, the youngest of 5, and have the reddest, darkest hair in my family; 100% natural. My sisters have joked that someday they will pin me down and give me tips, or highlights. Of course our mom warned them to never touch my hair. After all, she is the woman I inherited it from. Don't get me wrong, I'm not vain about it, in fact I hated all those years in grade school being made fun of for being so different and add that feature with my name, and the fact I wear glasses. I was a popular target way back when. However, the hair did come in handy when in a crowd, amusement park, etc.; you could always find me and anyone with me.
I grew up as an army brat, and got the privilege of living in a few different states, and even in Panama. I really couldn't tell you anything about Panama, except for 2 mental pictures. I do miss the east coast from my childhood, and hope to visit again someday. I currently live in Utah, though I will always profess that I'm from Arizona. My husband is from Arizona, born and raised in the same town, and that is where we met. We married in June 2004.
We have 2 beautiful children, who have been/are easy babies, and I mean easy. They are so easy to love; sometimes a little too easy to love. My son is 2 and though he's rarely in trouble to begin with, its so hard to be angry with him. He wins hearts every where we go, and it makes most outings take longer. My daughter is 8 months old, and we are thrilled for her that she has a tint of red to her hair. I've been afraid for her that she'd hear it all her life from family if she didn't inherit red hair. She's also my star, and model for my shop. Yep, that's a picture of her above. She's put our PaciFashions through her tests, and tortures.
It was actually my children who inspired me to begin PaciFashions. Franklin, my son, had a strap with a plastic clip. It didn't last long till it began breaking, and became useless. With Lisette, my daughter, I refused to use the same brand. Then with the one I did buy off the shelf, well I don't care much for fuchsia and it doesn't go with everything. I meant to only make a few for Lisette, but I had so much leftover ribbon I decided to see if others felt the same way I do. And that's all about me for now as well as how PaciFashions began.
If there is anything you'd like to know more about, or have information you'd like to see presented in my blog you can email me at q-luv-it@hotmail.com for any and all requests. I promise not all "Q's Days" will be all about me, and am open to any ideas or suggestions.
