"Ware" & Sneak Peeks!

Yesterday was Boo's school open house! I actually was able to get her out of her new wardrobe of "just underwear like Daddy" (disclaimer: Mr. Lil Blue Boo DOES wear more than just underwear during the day) and into a dress. She wouldn't let me brush her hair but I pick my battles carefully.....and, well, brushing our hair just wasn't important yesterday. She was SO excited to meet her new teacher! I can't wait to have some free time to get more projects done!


I did get a bunch of things made last week....here is how the "China Doll" dresses turned out:



I found a small amount of the bottom blue and white lycra knit and made as many as I could. It caught my eye as soon as I saw it on my last fabric hunt. I collect blue and white porcelain...only because I want to be like Martha Stewart and collect some type of "ware." Most of it's from my wedding registry....so I haven't gotten very far in my collection!


Since I'm a studio pack rat....I even keep the broken ones for a "some day" project:


Some of my favorite upcycled dresses of the week:




My friend Lisa (from Ellebows) sent me this adorable photo of her daughter Elle wearing the Lil "Bleu" Boo set I made recently. Elle was born to wear a beret:



Coming this week? Lil Blue Boo Shoes.....complete with Lil Blue Boo screen prints! Eeeep! So excited about these!


A sneak peek of a beautiful photo shoot by Misty Smith and her daughter Keeley for Lil Blue Boo Clothing. I just love it. Misty is super talented and I love her photography style! Stay tuned for the rest of the photos! Only a few of these horse dresses left in the shop!

  2. OMGosh you should make that "I need some Space" into a t-shirt for adults, I love it!

    I so agree with picking your battles and sometimes just getting there is all I care about. So what if my daughter looks like a clown with a bird with a rats nest!

    I hope you can stop over to my blog, I'm having a great giveaway!

  5. Hi,
    I love your blog. I think the work you do is fantastic. Do definitely inspire me to start making things.
    I just have one question. How do you do it? How do you find the time to focus? Or complete you quota's, deadlines and such? I have 2 little boys at home (3.5 and 2) and just don't how to find the time (focussed time) to complete things. And by the end of the day it's. I really would like to do something of my own but just can't wrap my head around how to be productive and still have the boys with me.
    Do you have others that help you out? To you arrange time without kids to get work done?
    Sorry, I know this wasn't perhaps the right place to ask, but any advice or suggestions would be wonderfully appreciated.
    Thanks and keep doing what your doing. It's fantastic.

  6. Fantastic as always. I love, love, love the shoes! When my girl was small, she wouldn't let me near her hair or fingernails without a major battle. Now she spends most of her day grooming. Oh how things change!!
