Where Oh Where Have I Been?

Hi, remember me? 

Sorry I have been MIA for a long time on my blogging but I am starting to pick it up again.  Slowly but surely, my goal is to blog at least once every other week. 

Let's talk Halloween!  I have been extremely busy making costumes for the littles and so excited to ship them off one by one as soon as I have them finished. 

Just wanted to introduce you to "Little Red"  It's my take on a classic storybook character that I love and have always wanted to make a costume and a hooded cape.  I achieved exactly what I was wanting to do here. 

Dress pattern is "Aria" by Little Lizard King.  It's a peasant dress pattern that is roomy, comfortable and has endless possibilities in what you can do with it.  I wanted to give the dress a corset look without looking too mature for a child, so I chose to just do a split bodice on the bodice panels by adding black fabric with some pretty white eyelet trim. 

The Hooded Caplet pattern is by "Made for Mermaids".  It's an adorable pattern and has the options to fully line it or simplify it by leaving it unlined.  Personally I prefer a clean finished look so I went ahead and lined the caplet with the exact same material that you see on the top.  A contrasting black material was also on my list, but I decided to keep it all red because I love the quality of fabric and it draped beautifully!  I also love that is doesn't cover the sweetness of the dress!

The adorable little one in the photos is my niece.  She was not in the mood for a photo shoot on a day when it was close to her bedtime and she was also teething, but I just chalk it up to her seeing the "BIG BAD WOLF".

This dress and caplet were new to my Etsy shop this Fall just in time for Halloween orders and I was so happy that I sold a few of them and the messages I received always stated that they were happy to see that this dress was "Child-like" looking without having the look of someone older when referring to the corset look on the bodice.  :) 

                                         "Mom, is THAT THE BIG BAD WOLF?"

    Back of the dress-you can see I incorporated the split bodice on the front and the back.

"Indian Summer" With Sarah Watson for Art Gallery Fabrics

Generally, the first frosts will be followed by fine, bright, warm days, the glorious suspension of what is certain to come, that perfection of weather is called “Indian Summer”.

I just finished a collaborative photo shoot with some fabulous boutique owners.  We first decided on the theme and what better theme to use was the fabric line "Indian Summer" by Designer Sarah Watson for Art Gallery Fabrics. We all absolutely loved the hues of blues, greens and orange and the versatility that it offered to not only girls but also the boys. (Notice the incredibly adorable baby boy in the romper. ;)

 I love the fact that each of us chose different fabrics to showcase on our each individual blog sites. I am a huge fan of blues and I think it looks great on everyone so it was a no brainer for me when I chose "Shimmer Creek" In Blue.  I also knew I wanted to add a coordinate color to give the dress some contrast and ended up choosing "Native Band" in Apricot.   To give it a personal touch I embroidered the blue band and straps on the bodice to give it a more "native" appearance. I love the versatility of this dress and the simplistic style of it.  The straps that go around the shoulders and meet in the middle of the back bodice band make this dress a comfortable wear and secure fit.  
Dress is available in size 12 months all the way up to size 14 girls!  That is a vast range of sizing, perfect for any little girl. 

  

   

Children’s Boutique Collective will be offering these 7 pieces for sale starting the week of July 21^st.  The sale will run for two weeks, each boutique had their own unique items to contribute to the photo shoot.

Dreams

"Follow Your Dreams"................that is a statement that you hear time and time again through life, but yet many people wish instead of doing~why is that? Is it the fear of rejection, failure, possibly a realization that the dream that became a reality wasn't really a dream after all?
It was almost two years ago that I finally decided that my "dream" was going to start to become my reality!
I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a granddaughter, a daughter in law, a best friend.............I could go on and on, but for the sake of time I won't. ;)  
I am creative.  I always have been.  I somehow have always had the urge to pursue my creative side and never acted on it until God gave me the push I needed through my family. 
Lots of determination and hours and continuous learning has placed me into the world of entrepreneur.  Sounds so important, but it means I own a business. :)  No BMW to drive, no fancy vacations, no designer clothes although I did splurge once and bought myself a Coach purse for the sake of always wanting one, just the satisfaction I receive from my customers over and over again who continually bless me with their business.  Most of the money I do make is thrown right back into purchasing things for Rosie Posie Prettie. 
For the sake of not boring you to tears, I do have to say at this stage in my life I finally feel like this is where I belong and what I am supposed to be doing.  Creating, creative, creation.  Those three words describe me, my little business of handmade clothing and accessories.  Me, the sole proprietor of myself.  Me, hard work, dedication and determination is all I need along with a strong Faith in God and continuous support of my fantastic husband.  Thanking God daily for Blessing ME and giving thanks for allowing me to "Follow my Dream."
