Button Bands for Sale

***Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011***

We got chicken pox in the house!

Yup, the big one has a nasty case of the pox, poor dear.  We'll see if in two weeks, the little one gets them too.  No fun!!

All of the following button bands are for sale.  I've shot each from both sides

They are $25 dollars each or $20 if you buy more than one.  

Some have a more stretch than others, 

so it would be a good idea to convo me if you need one with a wider wrist.

Hands Up Baby

*Tuesday, November 15th, 2011***

Dale, my partner, has convinced me that it is time to start advertising my Button Bands.  

He's probably right.  So, I'm going to start up a facebook page where I can list new ones, like these and list available one's here and on etsy.

While these one's are all sold, having gone to "Dragonfly" in Brighton, new one's will be created daily.

Sewing up some spook time

***Wednesday, October 26th, 2011***

So, what were you up to last night?

Me?

Just having a "I'm a fabulous mommy" moment, as I sewed up a costume for my little Lone.

Can you guess what she is?

Why, she's the "Queen of The Crows"!

She said a lot of grandmothers and grandfathers pointed at her and smiled today.  (Her school went in costume gear, to the local old folks home)

It's pictures like this one, that I will force her to view, when she thinks I suck in the future.

Things...

Are almost never...

What they seem...

Always look for the fairies.

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. 

First Fall Dress

***Saturday, September 24th 2011***

I have completed my first little girl's fall dress.

 It is all about comfort and play.  I hope you like it! 

And yes I know I spelled Elefant wrong :)

It will fit a three to four year old. 

It can be found in Higglety Pigglety, 

in Port Hope, 

in the near future.

Here is Smyth...

So, Smyth has pointed out to me that it is now time for her close up.  

She has not said it so much with words, but rather in striking such dandy and dashing poses.

 She's got all the angles....Left

 ...Right...

She is ready to be Cherubsn's newest baby model, I do believe. 

(As long as there is no standing involved)

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!
