This is what I've been working on this past week. I'd like to start selling these dresses and barrettes/cases. We'll see...
If I had some cash burning a hole in my pocket I'd definitely buy these three dresses for Sylvie from Pink Chicken's Spring/Summer 2009 line. My favorite is the one on the right - and not just because it's called "Rebecca." I'm really loving the peasant-style dresses and shirts...Leila and Ben, a great little Etsy shop, sells an adorable pattern for a peasant dress, which they call the "Sweet Little Dress."

This is a very cool font designed by Jean-Benoit Levy called H-AND-S. And this is how you sign S-Y-L-V-I-E. I think this would look very cool embroidered. Actually, these days, I think just about everything would look cool embroidered...

In late August Chris and I hosted a small gathering at his family's ranch in New Mexico's Hondo Valley to celebrate Sylvie's baptism. Chris and I were married on the ranch and decided it was the perfect place to celebrate our little girl. The evening was spectacular...after it rained all day, the clouds cleared and we all settled on the porch for dinner and drinks.
I decided to go with a bird theme for the day...and found an amazing pattern for these little birdies on Spool Sewing's blog. Spool used the birds for a mobile, but I thought the birds would be perfect as centerpieces. After dinner, I asked everyone to pick a bird, gave them each a card and asked everyone to write a story about their bird for Sylvie. The stories are amazing...completely amazing. Now, I need to arrange the stories (and photos of the birds) in a book for Sylvie. I think someday she'll love reading her what her family wrote to her.
