Rachel Getting Married

***Thursday 22nd September, 2011***

This one's for you beautiful Rachel!!

This past weekend, my dear Montreal friend Rachel visited.  She had decided that while her fiance had his stag party, that she would have hers with the girls and myself.  Not wild like his (so I've heard), but we had fun.

To me, nothing says fun like playing dress up!  Since I was a little girl, I loved dress up. I think this is why I am able to think outside of the box when designing clothes.  I have a pretty vivid imagination!  Lucky for me, so does Rachel.  She plays tourist in her own town, all the time.

Anyway, someone is clinging to my leg, I'm wearing all black and sitting in the sun and I need to cut a new pattern....

Must be off, but I just wanted to thank Rachel for making us her travel destination and that I can't wait to watch her vamp down the runway!

Higglety Pigglety Teepee

***Monday, September 12th, 2011***


I have wanted a Teepee for the girls, for a long, long, long time.  Some days I wanted it so bad, it hurt.  I'd get headaches.

I think they are such a stylish and beautiful way of incorporating kid's play with modern, cool and clean.
Not only do teepees turn an unloved corner, into a magical world, but they are a place to store kids toys, out of sight!

Debbie, at Higglety Pigglety in Port Hope, came through for us.  Ya, ya bought this beauty and Debbie made it.

She even snuck in the cutest little bunny image.  I love it's simple and organic style and it look so good in my living room and my kids love it.

Some days are filled with more toys than teepee space.

And I don't feel bad at all for kicking the finka tree out of the corner.

You should contact Debbie, and have her make one for you...

HAPPY 5 LONE!!

Lone is 5....

I have a five year old kid!  Crazy.  She wants to know what car seats are made of, what happens to our bones when we become angels, beats me at memory games and remembers people's names when I do not. She has turned into my little buddy and she's so good with her sister.


Here are a few highlights from her party, which was held at our dear friend Barbara's.  Barbara helped me pull off a pretty darn good party.

The cake was so pretty!!  I wish I'd had time to take more pictures.  

How do the moms on the blogs I follow, find time to take pictures at their parties

I used these beautiful butterflies that I got on etsy.  Will put up a better picture.

Wardrobe change!  Like a wedding.

Pretending to care about cards.

Hunting the poor frogs!!

We did sandwiches and lots of fresh veg.  Tried to keep things inviting for the vegan guests. 

We had a nature walk, a toy boat show in the pond and a treasure hunt for activities.

Thanks to all that attended and made it a great day!

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....

Dragonfly

Cherubsn has found a home at "Dragonfly" in Brighton.  Was very happy to drop off an order on what would have been my mom's 67th birthday (the 29th).

Now, the gang and I are either heading East or West tomorrow.  What will it be?

Busy as a Bee

***Tuesday, July 19th, 2011***

I'm not even going to look at the date of my last entry.  I have been so busy this summer!!

First, we were featured at LUX boutique in Warkworth!

Lone at LUX grand opening.

And CHEX TV did a segment including CHERUBSN.  Lots of fun, 

forward through if you like, my section is at the end!!

Then Smyth and I did The Purple Turtle artisan show!  It was so, so hot!  But a great experience!

 It was great fun setting up a booth.

 I received lots of great feedback!

 I had one little girl that was so in love with my clothing.  That is why I do what I do! 

 Though money doesn't hurt either :)

 My button bands and head bands!

 Smyth's little world for the two days!

Busy as a bee, you see!!

Bday party for Smyth

The other day the petit femmes and I saw a brown furry beast wandering in the grass, by the side of road, in Cobourg.

"Beaver!" I yelled excitedly.

"No, wood chuck!," I corrected myself.

"No... gopher!" I finally surmised.  Am I becoming stupid from lack of sleep, or am I totally disconnected to nature these days?

FInally had a small shindig for Smyth yesterday.  A couple of my  girlfriends pressured and guilted me into it  (poor second child).  My back is killing and I am worn out!  How do my little people suck the life out of me so sufficiently?  

And she's out!

Happy Bday party little Smyth.
