Her Royal Garden

Chick here to find it. :)

Scrappy Custom

I made this sweet little Apron Dress as a cutsom and boy, it's a good thing it only needed to be about a 9 month size...cause that's all the scraps I had left of these fabrics.... I will miss them too. I sold L2's set as a resell a few months ago when it became a mini skirt on her. I do have a new set in the works done with some very similar fabrics, so be on the look out in a few days. :)

Summer Drawing

My big guy has taken an interest in drawing as of late after his class watched a vhs tape (from the 80's I think) about how to draw animals etc. Having no luck tracking down this video on Amazon we headed off to Barnes & Noble in search of some drawing books....

This one by Ed Emberley was just what I was hoping to find. Perfect for any aspiring artist, it has shows how to use very simple shapes and put them together step by step to create a ...

masterpiece! (yes, it's an elephant...the first one he's ever drawn!)

And we got this one for my little princess artist....





At first I was taken aback at how much smaller her creations were than those in the book...guess tiny fingerprints make tiny creatures.

Dancin

today was recital time for my L2


that girl LOVES to dance almost as much


as she LOVES makeup and getting "fancy"!

after a bit of a rough go at dress rehersal this morning

she NAILED it!

Yes, I am one proud MAMA!

She could have gotten up there and just jumped up and down for all I care, but my sweet sensitive one likes to get things right and boy did she ever!!

A Little Surreal...

So when Ivylane decided to have a guest launch, I knew just who I wanted to invite....but I was more than a little nervous thinking there was no way she would accept an invitation from little ol' me. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find her answer to be...YES! Of course I am talking about the fabulous Cree of Bowznstuff!!!! I have admired her work for so long, this has been a dream come true to have her as my guest. Her designs are obviously the quintessential original boutique... fun, whimsical and any little girl's dream to wear. But it is not just that... from everything to photography, presentation, the fact that she can make her own bows (sadly, I have no hope in that dept.), that uber cutie pie baby girl of hers and her ability to create a ruckus of a following with her buyers... she is in my opinion one awesome lady. And to top it all off, so dang NICE and down to earth...
Yea, I pretty much heart Cree!

So here is my contribution in our fun trip to the Magical Land of the Unicorn...


This fabric is unsanely cute and it even has SPARKLES in it.



I had some fleeting thought about selling the sample...what was I thinking?

L2 wore this for 3 days and would only take it off when she had gotten some chocolate on the top that I told her would not come out unless I washed it right away...

so this one is a keeper.

See the cutsom auction here...

Sneaky Peeky....

Be on the lookout Monday....
