Hard to believe she just had a baby!!!

Sharing some new designs....

I recently had the good luck of working with Carrie Daly of Daly Moments Photography in photographing some of my new spring designs....

she specializes in natural light photography (my favorite) and the weather in Michigan finally cooperated for her to get some great shots outdoors...

enjoy and pop over to etsy if you are interested in purchasing any of these!

A budding fashion designer...



This morning, about 25 minutes before the bus was expected, Eily asked if I could make her a pink skirt to wear for school - you see, yesterday I managed to pull off a skirt and a pair of pants before the bus as we had no green to wear to school so now E thinks I am a miracle worker, speedy seamstress.

Not wanting to disappoint I sent her to get ready after she picked her fabrics...she also had definite ideas about the style - high waisted and poufy ... I made my yoga style waist and added elastic to the hem to give it the full look she wanted - the result, in my humble opinion was pretty cute!

I think I will offer these on etsy for the tween crowd...what do you think??

Be My Funky Valentine....

I have turned over the photo styling to Eily - she has such a fun fresh eye towards fashion I always love to see what she puts together...

I decided to breakout my valentines day stash of fabrics and put together a ready to ship collection ... styling by Eily! These are available in my etsy shop











some of these goodies will be given away later this week on a couple of my etsy team blogs... the etsy treasury team blog as well as the blog for the RNEST

A is for Absent ....

from my blog that is! Life seemed to get in the way of my fun but I am back with lots of photos and tidbits to share!

flashback to November and the start of my show season ... first up was the Holiday Shoppes in Syracuse NY



I had a few models who helped advertise my wares!




I also had the great luck of meeting Michelle DaRin an amazingly talented jewelry designer from the Syracuse area. Fortunately she fell in love with my work as much as I did hers and we had a wonderful exchange of goodies!



these matching mother/daughter skirts were made from a fabulous vintage knit I have been saving in my stash ... these are available as a special order through my etsy store




Michelle's funky baubles are available through her website.

Coming tomorrow.... join me for a visit from an overseas guest!

Fun finds on etsy!

I just signed onto etsy and spotted these fabulous earrings on the front page!



so I thought I might share a few other etsy favs of mine!

enjoy!

I loved the colors in this dress as well as the style details



I swoon when I stop by this shop and see all of the delicious enameled goodies such as this bracelet set...



or what about these fun tapas plates



and I would just LOVE to see this necklace in person!
