New Model

I participated in a FAB Cat in an Apron trunk show this last weekend. I was in great company there, so many talanted designers. Thanks to everyone who traded! I can't wait to do this show next time. FYI... it will be Spring and Fall...
Please be sure to check out Cat in an Apron's website, (under my faorite places) you will find amazing diaper bags, blankets and toddler clothes!

One of my customers sent me a photo of a Toddler Skirt she picked up that day. My new model Lilly is sporting a BOLD yellow and black Robert Kauffman printed skirt. You'll see the action photo on my website soon, but my favorite photo is of her sipping "coffee" or is it hot chocolate??

Etsy Afternoon

What a lovely Etsy afternoon.......Jane, my computer, Annie on the mini DVD player and a Diet Coke!

Toddler Skirts

Our good friend Caitlin had her 5th birthday party last night. At least 17 kids arrived, it was total craziness but Caitlin had a blast! Janie gave her one of my toddler skirts as a gift, it was a hit she put it on right away before she opened any more gifts!
I still need to put them on the website they will be on there within the next week. $28 price tag is well worth it because of the length of time the girls can wear it. The elastic waist is 21 inches and is 13 inches in length. It comes in one size, 2-5yrs. You will see pics of Jane just turning 2 and Caitlin turning 5, modeling the design so you can see the range. Another thing I like about these skirts is that they are good for all seasons, just add leggings and a sweater for winter. Or if you are Janie, just put them on over your overalls to go to Grandpa's.

Jane's Best Friend

It's her big brother Greyson. Enough said...

What a Weekend!

It was soggy and wet in true Portland style! The new canopy was put to full use at the ETSY FAIR on Saturday, thank goodness I invested:) I broke even on my table fee and made a little extra so no complaints! pictured are a couple of photos, we are a little cramed all crammed in the booth trying to keep our product clean and dry. Thanks to Stone River Studios and LeaK for hanging with me!
CraftyWonderland was Sunday and was definatly dryer and warmer. All in all it was a great weekend.

Well, I fianlly got around to taking a few pictures today...it is my least favorite thing to do, Probably cause I am not very good at it. Is the black background to harsh? What do you think? These a few of my favorites!

SNOW DAY!

When I was a kid I used to dream of snow days! But that was Wisconsin and it had to be a major blizzard before anything happened. It is 25 years later...I'm living in Portland, OR, the city is about to shut down and the kids are out playing in 2 inches of snow! Oh what fun!

Hi everyone and welcome to my new web blog. I am a total amature at this so please excuse the simplicity. Hopefully as time goes on I will get the hang of this technology! That just totally shows my age...under 40 but over 35...Did anyone guess that? Please check out my online shop for some funky & hip baby stuff. Just because you have a kid dosen't mean you have to sacrafice style!!
