First Day of School = Productive Day

Today was Boo's first day back at school! Of all the beautiful clothing I've made her...she picked her Pinto halter dress from last year that she's pretty much grown out of and a pair of cropped white pants. I cleaned her Unicorn Crocs to shiny new appearance (magic erasers are great for this), packed a nutritious lunch and we were set to go!


The first thing I did after dropping her off? I hit all my favorite thrift stores!


I had spent the weekend silk screening some NEW Lil Blue Boo signature knit.....


....and today I used it for the sleeves of this cute dress:


My new backdrop for clothing photos......look familiar?


Oh, and I made Boo's doll Li'l Sally a new Cinderella-inspired princess dress:


Boo loved every second of school today....I missed my little sidekick though.


Back to School Giveaway!


I get so many requests for more photos of my studio spaces I decided to enter this contest to have it photographed professionally! Go and vote for the Lil Blue Boo space....then leave a comment that you voted and I'll pick a random winner for a Lil "Bleu" Boo tee! Just click the button below! Thank you!

    I love productive days like that. Can't wait to see what you create next. That boy looks awfully big for kindergarten though (ha ha).

    Crazy how much your hubby and my twins godfather look alike! It's wild! They even dress the same! Hubby walked by when I was reading this, and glanced at the computer, and said "Is that Tony? Who's the little girl with him?"
