What is YOUR New Year's resolution?  One of mine is to blog at least once a week . . . LOL!

Spring is in the air . . .

And who says babies have to wear long-sleeved daygowns?  This sweet little knit daygown is perfect for spring and summer weather and comes complete with a little knit cap.  Makes a great baby shower gift!

Hmmm . . . 50's in Texas

You've got to love the weather in Texas . . . 50 degree temps this week and forecasted snow next week?  I've seen it hit the 80's in January . . . people sunbathing next to their pools . . . and then a big ice storm that keeps everyone locked in for days . . .

BUT, for now it almost feels like spring, and the bright colors in this aline dress will make any day a little brighter!  Completely lined in a stripe in the same colors - great with a top or without - for any time of year!

Monday, Monday

Isn't this cute?  Top quality knit daygown for babies - in sizes NB and 3M.  Comes complete with knit cap.  Hemline is gently elasticized to enclose babies tiny feet.  Great as a shower gift!

Today,  I'm featuring another set from the Meadow Charm Collection, for Spring 2011.  I just LOVE this print . . . banded skirt has elasticized waistline, and matching tee is appliqued with just a bit of "bling" in the center, from golden crystals.  All CPSIA compliant, 100% cottons.  Sizing starts at 6 months and goes up to an 8.

Melon Halter Top/Dress

Cute, cute, cute!  I love this little set and I'm in the process of finishing up for a booth late this month.  Grab up your size before the fabrics are gone!

A Rose is a Rose . . .

Don't you just LOVE these colors?  I started to tint the grass green in the photos, but I guess that will come in time on it's own - LOL.

Top serves as a halter dress as well, and can be worn either way.  Also, put a t-shirt or peasant top and it can be worn to school and in cooler weather.  There is elastic at the back for a better fit, and the optional capris pants have an elasticized waistline and adorable ruffled hems.  Darn, I wish my kids were small again . . .

Easter Dresses, Anyone?

So simple, but elegant . . . this sweet little dress is made from blush pink silk with a chocolate brown silk sash . . . front waistline features a velvet band.  Completely lined, this item also have a built-in crinoline petticoat.  Pattern designer is Olabelhe, stitched by Auburn Rose/CH Heirlooms.

In the same style, this little dress is made from a lovely cotton print.  Front waistline features a dark red ribbon to pick up the red hue in the fabric.  Completely lined, built-in crinoline petticoat.  Skirt is hand pleated.

Don't you just love the depth of the back bodice?

Happy New Year!!

WOW!  It's 2010 already!  How long before I get used to writing that date on documents?  LOL!

I apologize for my lengthy absence.  I caught the flu about a week before Christmas.  I must say, that was not  great timing.  Our preschool class had projects to finish and a party that Thursday - but I managed to stay part of two days to see it through.  I really hate missing their parties.  The kids had a blast!

Ready for spring?  I am!  It snowed THREE TIMES in North Texas over a space of two weeks.  Anything over 1/4 inch is considered a major event here - 2 to 3 inches might as well be a blizzard.  Everything comes to a stand still.  And if you're brave enough to drive on ice around here - watch out for the other drivers.  We are not ice savvy around here.  LOL.

Anyway, I am working on some awesome little outfits for spring - and Easter dresses.  My absolute favorite shopping season!  Such cute little outfits for kids . . . sigh.

I'll post some pictures soon - so check back!

Black Friday Anyone?

Here it comes!  The busiest shopping day of the year . . . but, you won't see me out a 3am this year - yawn.  I really don't even care to be awake when the sun is coming up - LOL.  I have more of a tendancy to stay up late, watch movies such as Pride and Prejudice, The Day After Tomorrow, Men and Black, etc and sew.  Or, take the ocassional break to play Bejeweled on Facebook - LOL.

No, this year I will make only two trips on Black Friday - one to JoAnn's to pick up an organizational rack, and the other to a local quilt fabric store that offers 40% of one cut of fabric that day.  (We all have our weaknesses - right?)

Unfortunately, this change in shopping habits means that my babies are older and are either very specific about what they want, or ask for the very personal gift of money.  LOL.

Have fun while you shop - and be sure to eat something chocolate for me while you're out!

Christmas Already?

I just can't believe it! I just a little over a week, the shopping rush begins!

I don't know about you, but it really crept up on me this year.

Fortunately, the older kids want to pick their own things after Christmas with gift cards or cash, so the only one we really shop for is the youngest of our brood.
