I am excited to announce that I got a tiny shout out on one of my favorite websites Treehugger.com I couldn't be happier this Thanksgiving day!

the other coat

I had a bit of fun with the second coat in this series. The star is leather with rayon cotton trim!

hot off the sewing machine...

I just finished three of these coats. They are 95% cotton 5% poly and SUPER warm.

I am having a few problems uploading photos for my blog. sorry this is so huge. I will figure it out soon I promise. I will have three of the coats (all a little different) in the SHop tomorrow.

In the Shop... finally

Remember weeks ago when I showed you this.

At long last I have 4 jackets in the shop!

And the lace tops!! Come check them out at Riverside!

the finished product

Not the best photo, also not the best model... but you get the point right? Hand printed with water based inks. Have I mentioned I am having so much fun printing these days?

The process

Make a sketch...

Burn the screen...

Print... (picture doesn't show ink on screen... sorry :) )

And Voila!

I have been very busy printing for the shop. I am super happy with how they came out. What do you think?

a little something up my sleeve

Ok, its 11:30 pm and what the heck am I still doing up? especially when my micro man went to bed 3 hours ago and will most likely be up in an hour or so...

Sorry for the blurry picture I just really wanted to post and thats the pic I was able to take. Isn't it just a beautiful background of bikes and snowblower?

Stay tuned for what these beauties turn into! he he he

These are a few of my favorite things

This weekend Orland got a new pair of shoes so I thought I would share them with you. Papa picked out the colors and mama sewed.

With a dash of honey! yum!

The Dress

I have been asked many times to see photos of The Dress... So I have dug up a few photos I took from the wedding and HERE they are! Really none of these photos do the dress justice. I felt out of sorts trying to photograph this amazing day. I wanted to be present the whole time so I captured most of the amazement with my eyes, not my lens. This is one of many dresses Hilary made this wedding season, it truly fit like a glove and helped create her perfect day.
