Lazy Days

Ok, I will admit that I had to take a break from the Christmas stuff...... Are you laughing with me?  Well that is only half of the truth.    I am not sure whether you listen to the weather reports, but we are getting way too much rain this summer in Florida.  We have already received +14inches this month.   Needless to say, it has been really hard to schedule any photography sessions outside.  The field we usually visit is flooded, and Olivia was attacked by mosquitos the other day.  So we decided to give it a rest until things dry up.   I will definitely spray her next time we go, and you can laugh if you see her wearing rain boots.

Nicolle Skirt

Nicolle Skirt

YES More Christmas, but this time in the form of a skirt - the NICOLLE SKIRT.  Olivia and I have grown very fond of skirts in the last few years.  They are easy to slip on  and paired with just a simple t-shirt, they look great and are comfortable to wear.  She was especially fond of this one and felt very grown up today.

Christmas in July

I know exactly how you feel!  Christmas already.  YUCK !  It is still summer and the thought of icicles and frost, gifts and fa-la-la-la just really does not sit well with me either.  However, from experience I can tell you this, that orders start as early as August and usually end by October 30th due to insufficient arms.  So maybe now you can understand why it is time to talk about Christmas.

Something cute for little boys

Once I make up my mind to make something or design something, I always think about the practicality of a garment.  I know from experience, that just because I think something is pretty, does not necessarily mean it is practical for a toddler.  As I have said many times before, I like to make clothing that can be worn longer then one season, or something that can be dressed up or down.  My favorite type of clothing is something pretty and practical.  Not an easy task!

European Corduroy Jumpers

Aaaaaah........since I was already asked whether or not I would be selling this style of dress again, I decided to add them to my shop as quickly as possible.  Introducing Natalia and Chloe. Unfortunately, I will not be making these dresses ahead of time - only based on orders I receive.  In other words, there will be no Ready To Ship available with these dresses.  The fabric is imported from Germany, and as most seamstresses know it costs about $15-$24 a yard retail.  So I would prefer not to waste a single yard of it.  

There are lots of combinations available.  The pictures just do not do them justice, as many customers can verify.  The colors are bright, and the prints are unique and beautiful.  The corduroy is a light-to-mediumweight, which makes it perfect for the Fall and Winter seasons.  The dress pattern is a classic long waisted - back closure bodice, with an above the knee length skirt.

As most of you know, I like to create dresses that are versatile.  I dressed Olivia in this dress during the Fall with a pair of turquoise sneakers, and as seen above in the pictures.  Your child can wear this dress with a t-shirt, or a turtleneck or a blouse.  Dress it up or down and it will still be perfect for any occasion.
