Daddy found a big huge Palo Verde Beetle in his shop, and promised to bring it home to Belle. She waited all day for him to bring it home. She has a bug book that she frequently looks her bugs up in, and she couldn't kind this particular one in her book. It was so cute, she was holding the beetle up to the book, and comparing it to the other bugs saying, "nope, this doesn't match."

We have been busily working away at the shop. Please visit our flickr site to see what we have been up to...I have been very bad at updating my blog, I am a flickr addict!

LOVE

I have another assignment waiting in the wings... A very good client of mine, has had me busily working away on garments for her children. It has been a very rewarding project for me, frankly, I am honored she chose me. Here is the latest shipment of fabrics that she loves, her favorite being liberty, but this time, she sent several Heather Ross, and Naomi Ito fabrics. I can't believe the quality of these textiles. I am very anxious to get started.

Stacks just waiting to be sewn.

Rowan-Just ONe

What fun! What a year it has been. Rowan is happy and healthy. What more could a mommy ask for?

Swiss MIss

I have been wanting to make this dress for a very long time, but because of the expense of the fabric, I have been putting it off. It is finally complete, and I love it. It will make a great beach portrait garment.

The hem is not complete here.

Available upon request in sizes 12mo- girl's size 8
