Winter Blues

One thing I've learned from living on top of a mountain: The only thing good about February is that it's not January! It's the month before the "real" snow comes in March and the month after the ridiculously bitter temperatures and extraordinarily high winds of January. But time is flying so quickly these days that I can almost taste the spring!

That being said, I've been working on more and more spring-y items. I'm catching up on my orders and soon I'll be able to do what I love most - designing! It's been a busy week, and just today I finally feel like I'm starting to see the bottom of the pile.



In the meantime, here is a little peek at some of the custom orders I've been working on. I love when people come to me with ideas that are in their heads that they want created just for their little girls! So much fun to see the finished product. Seriously, that's why I do this!

Here is the latest Miss Mamie. This was a custom order that I fell so deeply in love with that I immediately made one for my daughter! I can't wait to take her out in it - the pictures do not even begin to do it justice. That's not a surprise - I have a lousy camera, an uncooperative model and I'm the worst photographer ever! My model is getting a little bit better since she's now old enough to successfully bribe with yummy treats :P





Ever wonder what a Miss Mamie would look like on a five year old? Well, I'm not sure how I feel about it. Of course, I think my daughter is so beautiful that she can pull off anything, but I designed these for babies and toddlers, really. People keep wanting them in larger sizes and I'm happy to oblige but it's very difficult to make them hang right and not look like she's trying out for the circus. I do think the extra smocking helps, though.





Here is a custom set that I think turned out beautifully! I had to squeeze my poor daughter in it, however, as it is actually two sizes small on her, but I really wanted to see what it would look like on! Maybe I should have another baby so that I have another model....I'm KIDDING! Please disregard her messy hair! I rolled her out of bed, shoved her in these clothes and pointed a camera at her. I'm just amazed she was such a good sport about it!





And, lastly, I made this Miss Mamie romper for my daughter only. I don't think I'll be selling more of these because this fabric is pretty much discontinued. But I love it and just wanted to show her off!



Stay tuned for next week when I unveil my newest brainstorm: When I Grow Up...Diva Edition. To die for!
