The Dresses Are Coming!

I am so excited to say that I have actually listed a dress in my etsy shop. It sounds like a simple task. Actually, listing it is a pretty simple task, but it felt like a big accomplishment for me because I have wanted to do it for so long. This particular fabric is one of my all time favorites. The citron/pistachio with pink and brown is such a pretty combination - so feminine. My little model had designs on going swimming, so I had to shoot f-a-s-t. Luckily, I got a few quick shots.

Finally!

I have had this dress planned in my head for a few weeks and finally got the time to sew it into being. Here it is!

Happy Baby!

Things have been pretty busy around here lately and my family is keeping me very busy. Thie little guy is up to about 13 pounds at 6 weeks and is into his brothers' 6-12 month hand me downs! He is so long and totally reminds me of my first born who weighed 20 pounds at 4 months.

I have been thoroughly enjoying this new little bundle. Maybe it's because I know he is my last or maybe it's because he is just the sweetest little pea ever but I just cannot get over him. Just look at his little smile - it's love!

Snuck This One In Today!

This is just your basic pillowcase dress, and I added my own bias tape to the arms. I will be making more of these when time permits!

Fiesta Dress!

Okay - one last post while Ryan is napping. I made this dress in a size 3 for my dd for next year. It is a bit big on her, but I had to try it on her while the sun was shining :) The print (and her smile) just makes me smile - hope it does the same for you!

Toy Treasure Chest

With three kids aged three and under, there are many toys around here. We needed an industrial sized toy chest. I knew just the person to go to - my dad. He can pretty much make anything out of wood. He finished the downstairs of the house I grew up in, added on a screened-in porch, and built my childhood toy chest and doll house (complete with individual shingles and stained hardwood floors). Needless to say, I knew he would do a beautiful job. And he did! Thanks so much, Dad!!! We love our new treasure-toy chest!

Balloons!

My husband decided to take Maddox to see the balloons launch, and they had a great time. They managed to snap some great shots, too.
