Spring is coming! Time to get to work!

Spring is on it's way and I have an upcoming show May 3rd at Venus on the Half Shell, so it is time I finish some projects and get some serious work done!!!

Here is a sneak peak of some frames I am making for wall art at my show.

I'm working on lots more kids dresses with matching bloomers and headbands. I'll have more to show on my next Wednesdays with Harper post :)

I also want to make a bunch more skirts, crop tops and dresses for this show. 

Stay tuned for lots of new work!

Wednesdays with Harper

I'm helping my sister out and watching her cute as a button daughter Harper on Wednesdays while she is at work.  Harper just turned one in January and is the perfect model for some of my baby clothes! My goal is to have a new outfit for her to model every week. 

Here she is in one of my yo-yo headbands. I had to use this plastic cup to distract her for a photo! Taking pictures of babies can be tricky :)

Another yo-yo headband! 

Here she's trying to eat a stuffed elelphant I made haha.

Harper in a cute gathered dress I made. 

Baby on the run!!

I have a joke with my other sister Liz to take selfies with Harper and hashtag #selfieswithharper, so here is my selfie

All in all my first Wednesday with Harper was a success! I got her to model a few things, and we just relaxed around my sisters place and played! Stay tuned for more Wednesdays with Harper :)

Getting ready for Spring!

I'm sick of the snow and am ready for Spring to come! I am doing another pop-up shop in May at Venus on the Half Shell, and am starting to work on some pieces!

Here is a gathered polka dot skirt.

And a crop top to go with.

I love this fabric! It's a vintage sheet my friend gave me. I have enough to make a crop top and a dress.

Here's a gathered dress I finished! Stay tuned, I will be working on a lot more for my show :)

Inspiration

Well they are planning on more snow this week. I'm picking out some inspiration to have some productive projects while I am snowed in!

I see this style a lot, with just a little skin exposure. It has a 40's feel with a modern twist. I'm thinking that I want to design a fun midriff dress for this summer.

I'm always inspired my high waisted swim suits! I definitely  want to make some shorts and skirts for my next show!

If I'm stuck out on the farm and just want to watch a movie, I'm going to try and practice some hand stitching! This one is so cute!

Pillows, pillows, pillows!!! I love pillows. My goal is to learn how to do this smocking and make huge floor pillows!!!

A lot of inspiration!!! Now if I can get started on a few of these while I am snowed in that will be great! Wish me luck!!!

Jen's Baby Shower

My dear friend Jen is expecting a little baby boy! Her family just threw her a baby shower and I was in charge of the onsie station.

I found some cute pictures on the internet and made stencils.

Here's the set up table, with paint, iron ons, stencils etc.

These a few samples I made

My friends Diana and Kayleigh getting into it :)

Kelly made the cutest fox!

The completed onsies !!!

Girls working hard :)

The lovely Jen!!! I am so excited for her :)

The baby shower was so much fun, and I highly reccomend doing a onsie station, it gave guests something fun to do and Jen some really cute onsies!

Semi Productive Snow Days!

The last couple days I have been stuck a mile off the road. Luckily I have my studio in my house. Here's how I spent my last couple of days off....

I've been listening to a lot of vinyls...

I have been crocheting more hanging lanterns while watching movies in bed.

This is a birds eye view from my bed while working on some lanterns.

It is very cold in the farm house so I decided to make myself some slippers.

Once I started I couldn't stop, I decided to make some for my family.

Sewing...

Cutting...

Here are some finished slippers :)

These are all the chick flicks and rom-coms I have been watching haha.

 

I have had these kitties to keep me company. I was walking up to my parents to get some coffee :) 

And I finally got around to organizing my book shelf! Notice my pumpkin, that is what my dad used to carry his candy on Halloween as a child :)

So overall I had a pretty productive few snow days. Happy winter!!!!

40's inspiration

I love love love this photo!!! I am starting to look for inspiration for spring, I want to make every garment in this photo!!!

These dresses are amazing!!! I really want to make a version of the third one from the left!! 

Sometimes when I am feeling uninspired I find that googling vintage fashion encourages me to start producing!! Stay tuned for new looks!!
