4th of July

Here is one of the dresses I made for a little one for the 4th of July. More dresses to be posted soon!

Rocket!

Ben asked me to make him a rocket a couple weeks ago. So--Kayla was napping and we popped down and created one. I put one of Kayla's weeble wobbles in it as well. Ben loved it. I based it off of a link I found. Totally blanking right now. I made one of these for my niece Rayna a couple years ago.

Produce Bags

How cool is my friend Erin?! She's hooked me up with selling my produce bags at her local CSA in Brooklyn. I now have 25...yes 25!...yards of fabric waiting to be sewn! Thanks Erin!

Thinking and Planning

I've got big ideas. I'm gearing up for my summer piloting and creating.

1. 4th of July shirts/dresses...anyone interested? Let me know! I'm taking orders

2. Remember my cool travel car caddies? (http://www.etsy.com/listing/57517689/portable-car-race-track-caddy?ref=pr_shop) Well...I've been thinking about expanding my line of portable fun.... farms, planes, helicopters.... My amazing hubby has been nagging me to get started with drawings he's created for fun with Ben.

3. Don't want to leave out those beautiful little girls...I'm thinking fairies. Lots and lots of fairies.

Stay Tuned. I better get started!

Gorgeous by EIEIO Photography

Have you met Chelse from EIEIO photography? She's amazing! She took this photo of Kayla just after her stroke (last summer) so that we could capture the beautiful girl that surfaced. Chelse is hosting a wonderful contest with prizes gallore from a bunch of talented ladies. Head over to her site and follow her instructions to try to win something (I'm on there!)!

Boat!

I'm trying. As I said, he's a wiggler. Can you see the sailboat I made him. I love this color on Ben as he's got bright blue eyes. I also made a helicopter and rocketship shirt...yet to be captured on camera...so stay tuned!

A Dinosaur Shirt

I realized I hadn't made anything for my own kiddos in awhile. So--I created a bunch of shirts for Ben. I've been trying to capture them on camera, but he's a wiggler. Hope you can see this dinosaur. If you look closely at the fabric, it also has dinosaurs on it.
