Ladybug Ladybug

Lately, the Ladybug Dress (which can be found under everyday dresses on my website) has been quite popular. I get a number of orders a week, but lately most of them are for the Ladybug Dress. Actually to the point where I giggle when I see it is for the LB dress again. This dress is very versatile dress since it is a cute birthday dress but can also be worn any time. Who doesn't love ladybugs?

Let it Snow!

A friend of mine from high school ordered this dress for her daughter. She didn't want a Christmas dress but a winter dress that could be worn after the holidays. It turned out really cute!

My Boy!

Yes, I have a son. :) My girls get a lot of attention..."aww they are so cute, I love their dresses, etc" and then they throw in "aren't you a handsome guy with lots of sisters". He is a lot like me, doesn't like being the center of attention, so he doesn't mind. My brother makes a point whenever I post pictures on facebook that he comments on Brendan. It has now become a joke but I like the attention he gives him.

Brendan has tried soccer and lacrosse so far. He likes them but doesn't seem to love them. Brendan likes to read nonfiction books. When we pick out books we choose random topics like cars, animals and sports. One day I brought a hockey book home and after reading it he said "I want to play hockey."

He went last Sunday night for the first time. I prepped him before he left about how hard it is to ice skate and it takes lots of practice. He went...and couldn't stand up. An instructor worked with him for an hour, he spent most of the time laying on the ice but he never gave up. This week we took him 3 times to practice.

Today was absolutely amazing!!! He could stand up, skate AND play hockey! It made me tear up watching him being so successful! In one week he has progressed so much. He is a kid who is a big thinker, wants to know how everything works. I think he wanted to figure out how to ice skate more then actually physically doing it. I think we may have found something he truly likes. What more could a mom ask for...happiness. :)

'She inspired me to follow my dream'

I was inspired this week by a stranger...and by chance I happened to bump into this at the store. It is proudly displayed in my sewing studio. What inspires you?

Simple but Sweet

Newest addition to Lydia's closet, a purple corduroy dress with name applique and matching buttons...so cute. She can spell her name and she likes going over the letters. Don't worry...Julia will have one too. :) Perfect color for our favorite team. Go Ravens!

I want to wear...a dress!

I have 3 girls ages, 3, 3 and 6, and they want to wear nothing but dresses. I guess it is a good thing I make clothes! ;) I am happy they like to be girly girl, but at times the desire to NEVER wear pants is taxing. Lydia is the smallest, and the one that wears fancy party dresses around the house because she loves them so much. At least they are getting a lot of wear. She also loves tights and pantyhose and now wants to wear them to bed too! Just the other day, I was talking to Julia about playing soccer next year, then I asked Lydia, "Are you going to play?" She said, "Can I wear pantyhose?". I guess that is a no.
