May Showers

Aren't April showers supposed to bring May flowers? (And what do May Flowers bring? Pilgrims. hahahaha) Okay, well around here April snow brings...May snow and no flowers to speak of. But today it's raining and hopefully they are wrong about snow tomorrow and Thursday!

I just realized that I hadn't blogged in a month. I know - I'm horrible! I can't even really blame it on the photos either, I've had some great photos sent to me! I've just been extremely busy, mostly trying to get ahead on orders before today. You see, today is D-Day - as in "Drop off my sewing machine Day" for it's semi annual cleaning and servicing. I'm going to be stuck with my older-than-Methuselah Singer machine for a whole week and it doesn't do button-holes. I'm always embarrassed when I get it back and they tell me "Wow, this thing is REALLY dusty! Just how much are you sewing, anyway?" If only they knew....

I whipped together a really cute outfit last week but then got ZERO good pictures out of it. In fact, the pictures are so bad that I'm not even going to list the thing until I get some halfway decent ones! But here it is, please don't judge too harshly - it really is adorable!

The loop tops/dresses have been flying off the cyber shelves! I have a few more in mind for the summer but I really need to start working on the fall stuff. I love how it finally stops snowing around here and I get to start thinking about what to wear in cold weather...it's a little depressing, really!

I've been working on my daughter's school wardrobe. It turns out that her school dress code will not allow her wear anything that reveals her shoulders...so no halters, knot dresses, or loop tops for her unless there's something underneath - yikes! I figured this will work well, though:

Yes, that's our St. Bernard. Meet Eulee, the biggest, slobberiest, hulk of a dog you've ever seen!

A couple weeks ago I had to say goodbye to my all-time favorite outfit, the Natty Huckleberry Halter Set. I did a promotion to send it out in style - however, I did not expect about ten people to PM me within 5 minutes about it! The first two entries were within 5 seconds away from one another - I ended up doing two sets, though one is slightly different than the other because I was out of the "standard" fabric for it. Someday I may come up with a new Natty Huckleberry Halter but for now I must say goodbye! At least I know they went to good homes :-)

Have you seen the new Liberty Belle set? It's a red, white and blue Tilly Rose Romper with a matching sunhat - sooo cute! A Miss Mamie Romper can be substituted for an extra $5, and I can also just do the romper (no hat) for $25.

Isn't that little baby the cutest?! I wanna squeeze her cheeks and smother her with kisses.

And last, and the very opposite of least, I have more Rhiana pics! Enjoy!

And praying I don't see any more of THIS until at least August!
