More Cherubsn

This skirt is both vintage and modern.  

I used vintage fabrics and have given this skirt some modern flare, using 50's design.

I've layered fun, blue flowered fabrics and tied them together with a fun, looping, fabric belt. It is a stretchy, slim fit, below the knee. This skirt will fit a 4 or 5 year old.

This bright, happy little skirt is from vintage material and comes with two big pockets with tons of room to fill with curiosities. A pretty little two toned, crochet flower adorns one pocket.

This skirt will fit a 7 to 9 year old girl.

Garden Dress

***Saturday, December 3rd, 2011***

This dress will fit a girl sized 4. It is below the knees and has some cute touches. First, a lovely flower embellishment that i've recycled from a vintage tea towel. Secondly, a delicate chain of vintage, leather, canadian flowers, including trilliums, held by pink bows. There is also a friendly little lady bug! 

Chain with flowers is removable.

BIRD POOP

***Thursday, September 29th, 2011***

Hope you're up for a bit of dirty talk...

So, these days I am tweaking my new sweatshirt dress design.  I picked up this tacky bird poop sweatshirt.  

I couldn't resist it.  

I looked at it. 

Walked away. 

Walked back.

 Looked at it again.

 Suddenly, it's in a plastic bag, going home with me.

It's nasty, but kids love poop.  They love to talk about it and look at it. Whenever I gather Smyth up to change a dirty diaper, Lone is right there, flying down the hall ahead of me, not wanting to miss the big unveiling, and of course, she is full of gross sounds and comments.

Currently though, Lone herself has been going through a bit of a regression.  She does not like to have anything to do with her own poop.  She does not want to wipe her own bum.

Now, finally realizing that crying and refusing to do it herself, just means that she ends up sitting on the john for a looooong time, she is now trying to talk me into the task, trying to sell me the action, heckling me even! 

"It's just poop mom!  Don't be afraid of the poop mom!  It's just bad food."

The plan for this dress, was to sew the words "Don't Be Afraid of The Poop" on it's back. Bird poop and all, ha ha... Anyway, I screwed up the design of the dress a bit, so Lone got to keep and wear it to school today, minus the sentence, but plus the word "love" sewn into the back.  

The poop dress really should have gone to Lone, all along.

I have no idea if they are honestly based on real bird poop samples. 

Long Time

It's been a long time.  Busy creating, traveling out east and preparing for Lone's birthday.  

During our trip to the Ocean, I picked up samples of material and little things that Lone found (she's always hunting for dropped treasure).  Out of all these picking, I created a dress, a birthday dress!

Going to start making dresses for my Etsy.

Wasn't sure she would wear it.

Oh! Hello, how'd you get in there....

MODELS

My girls have been modeling for me....

Can't even tell that it was super hard to get them to do it!

Lone, once you get her into it, she's a natural :)

Working Away

***Wednesday, April 20th, 2010***

I have been very busy working away, making little girl's clothes for a store that is opening in a neighboring town soon.  I was so honored when the store owner contacted me and asked to put some of my creations into her boutique!  Now I just have to make them And Lone and Smyth need to model them by next week!!  I also make clothes for another shop, my etsy store and I am doing a show this summer.  So, I've been busy!!  Good thing it's raining!! 

Just made this banana number from a t-shirt. Ruffles on the bum!  

It makes me think of Bobo Choses and their new summer line.  I love their clothes!!
