I could talk about the weather, and how Colorado weather is so disorienting. 70 degrees...20 degrees...back and forth. Mud or snow. When the weather report calls for "Significant accumulation possible" instead of an estimation of how many inches we're supposed to get I know we're about to be hammered! I could talk about my youngest and her latest marker infatuation. How she completely colored herself, her bedding, bed and stuffed animals green for St. Patrick's Day! I got the last laugh today though - she managed to get into my disappearing ink marker (for sewing) and colored all over herself. Within an hour it was gone! Muhahahahahaha! I could talk about my "real" job and how scared I am to work for a health insurance company right now with so much upheaval. Thank goodness I work for the disability department at Aetna and I might come out of this unscathed! (knocking on more wood) I could talk about a lot of things but I guess I just did :)
Speaking of the weather...yes, I took these pictures outside today. Now I know this probably looks like abuse to those of you who think 55 degrees is cold but rest assured that the model in this picture was not harmed in any way! She BEGGED me to be able to stay outside and play but I had to say no because there was so much mud everywhere.
So this is the Nie Nie Skirt by Pink Fig. I've been in love with this skirt since the first time I laid eyes on it but haven't had the time to tackle all those ruffles. That's a lot of gathering! But the hubs took the kids out yesterday so I finally had the house to myself and I sat myself down in front of the TV and ruffled until I couldn't ruffle anymore. The finished product is amazing if I do say so myself! After searching forever to find the "perfect" top to go with it I finally decided that the only top that would do would be a brown Riley Peasant Blouse - so I whipped that up for her this morning :) I have not been able to get that thing off of her since! Somehow I'm going to have to convince her to put her leotard on for ballet class...this could be a battle.
Look what this thing can do!
So guess what happens if you order something from me and I'm a super duper ultra lame slacker? Not exactly a slacker, but more than a bit overwhelmed! Well, it's only happened once (or twice...) but I tend to feel bad and throw in a freebie or two! I made this dress for my friend Karen's daughter, Olivia, and it's a one of a kind. She was kind enough to photograph it for me! Olivia looks SO cute in it! Again, sorry for for the late delivery but something tells me she's been successfully bribed :)
I made this Sophia Mae outfit for a friend a while back, whose daughter is named...Sophia Mae (duh). Well, it's since changed hands and I'm so happy that it did because this is the most amazing picture (doesn't hurt that the little girl is cute too)! When I first looked at the picture I was like..."Cute outfit!" then I remembered that was MY outfit - that's how good this picture is! lol Kudos to Rhiana Halverson and thank you so much for letting me use this photo!
That being said, I'm offering a discount to all professional photographers! With two daughters to clothe, I almost never have time to make demos, but I am offering 50% to all professional photographers who purchase my clothing. The deal is only good if you agree to take a picture or two of your daughter in the outfit(s) and mention Petite Poire on your blog! Please make sure your watermark is included on the photo and I'll give you a shout out on this blog and my Facebook page! It will also help if you can give me a little info about yourself (where you're located and what kind of photography you specialize in) so I can give you a proper introduction. Just make sure you mention this promo to me at either checkout (and I'll immediately reimburse you) or convo me on Etsy and I'll set up a custom listing for you. Please remember that this offer is for professional photographers only - no amateurs please! If this gets abused I'll have no choice but to cancel this promotion!
Now I know I promised you a peek at the new super pretty dress for special occasions....but I'm still not done with it. I am almost finished with it but it's still a couple days away from unveiling...sorry!
