New Listing Today!

Whew, after a week of sun, beaches and camping, I'm back to work! We enjoyed beautiful weather and lots of seagulls! Poor Kaden used the sweetest voice to convince those gulls to come closer and then pelted them with hotdog buns...which of course they thoroughly enjoyed! You may view my newest listing HERE for the WisteriaLane Haute launch! Search WisteriaLane Haute for all the yummy finds!

Euro Bear

WisteriaLane has done it up again, ths time with the cutest Bear Fabric ever!

HERE is my contribution! I've made a super comfy and adorable Euro style jumper that is perfect as a dress, a top paired with the ruffle jeans, or for layering well into fall! I was thinking of school "Bear" themed Days, Bear Themed parties, or super cute play date wear! Check out all the very cute bear items with WisteriaLane Cub Club.

7 years ago today

7 very fun years ago is the day we tied the knot! So much has changed in those 7 years...who would've imagined we'd have these 3 incredible children and all these memories. We went out to celebrate last night with a simple evening of dinner at one of our favorite Japanese restaurants and a movie. Anniversaries before kids were few but more elaborate. These are my lovely roses. What a guy! He doesn't complain (too much) about my passion for creation or my fabric obsession. He helps out and knows how to fix things. He's an amazing father and very sweet. I guess I made a great choice those 7 years ago. Jason, if you ever read my blog, I LOVE YOU!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

Totally Retro!

I find I am often inspired by retro fashion. So needless to say I was amazed by this "Magazine of Fashion" my mom stumbled across in my grandma's old sewing treasure trove. This was from "Spring and Summer 1914." On the hot day I pored through this, delighted by its brittle pages, "cutting edge fashion" and the lack of color and texture choices, I think I was most amazed by the bathing suit page. "Misses' And Children's Bathing Suits" ranging in price from .50 to a whopping $2.98. Available in Navy only but trimmed in white, black or red, woo hoo! Check out the fashionable shoes you can sport with your bathing "dress." And check out that lady swimming happily at the top!!! Thanks grandma for this serious blast from the past!!

Retro Zoo!

This imported fabric is amazing and it JUST arrived in my hands! It called for something fun and funky so I just listed this Retro Zoo last night for the WisteriaLane "Zoo Animals" launch. Click the photo or right here to see it! It is featured this morning on Boutique Cafe!
What an honor! Check out all the fun designs from WisteriaLane!

Euro Mermaid

Just listed yesterday is this fantasic Mermaid dress done Euro style. It is fully reverisble and is just so "summery" and sweet. I have also been honored with an invite to be a guest designer this month with the talented and fun girls of WisteriaLane. Check out this auction here!

He looks innocent

Furry, soft, sweet...He is named "Baby" and he is Kaden's cherished "lovey." He eats breakfast off his face, uses him to hit his sister, smothers him with hugs and kisses, and gets about as many baths as the kids do. For this rough and tumble little fella who prefers balls to learning colors, it is very sweet to witness. HOWEVER....napping and nightime without baby CAN NOT HAPPEN....which would be fine, except I spend more time searching for Baby then I do shaving my legs;....he has been found in cupboards, in my shower, behind the toilet (mmmm makes ya want to snuggle right up next to him), and tucked away inside my sewing machine cover. Baby has a way of hiding EVERY SINGLE day! Just when you think you've looked everywhere, there is a brand new spot he's managed to travel to. Kaden rarely remembers where he's hidden his blasted little lover-dog and screams until I find him. On this happy June day of visitors and playdates, I've just been on yet one more scavenger hunt for "Baby" and now naptime has begun.
