Random Ideas and inspiration

Seriously, sometimes the most random things will spur ideas. This little heart print was inspired by a Burlington Coat Factory commercial (ever seen their logo?). This is why I need to keep a notebook by my bed....so in between Jersey Shore, The Bachelor and Lifetime Movies I can jot things down!


I've been printing the hearts on soft cotton interlock for some Valentines skirts and dresses:


Just having fun with it and mixing the hearts into different prints.


Someone emailed me and requested a twirl skirt so here it is:


Can you guess what my other new pattern is?


I've had a few St. Patty's requests too.....so I dyed and screened a few variations of this too (tutorial for dyeing to come soon):







Speaking of random. A friend brought his daughters over last night to play with Sienna while he and my hubby painted something. Checking on the girls I found that they had somehow convinced Sienna to dress up as a Kangaroo....doesn't she look thrilled?



What is the most random thing that inspired an idea for you?

    I was at a yard sale and my daughter pulled out a shirt from the free bin. I had visions of it becoming something fun and flirty, so we brought it home...It's still in her dress-up bin, but someday I'll make something cute out of it! Love the circle skirt. Knit waistbands are the best!

    I totally understand keeping a notebook nearby at all times...good ideas are fleeting.

    Is that joey costume from Babystyle? My oldest son wore the same one for his first Halloween!

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the twirl skirt. I have been thinking about making one for a long time and this was just the kick I needed.
    I am loving the dying, looks like a cool technique!
    Still waiting for some entries to roll in to my LBB giveaway (shameless plug) this week! Thanks again for hooking ILTWYD up.
