Can't Rest

Sometimes I come up with ideas for skirts and I can't rest until I have made them.



Apparently that was the case today.
My mind woke up at 3 this morning with an idea in my head for my very favorite yellow print fabric and I could not go back to sleep until it was finished....











Later on this morning as I was substituting a dance class and somewhere in between Plies and Tendus I thought of another skirt idea.







As soon as I had taken a little nap I rushed to Joann's, {worst idea ever. Note to self: only visit Joanns in the morning on weekdays...Saturdays are off limits.} purchased the fabric I had envisioned in my mind, and rushed back home while creating the skirt a million different times in my head.







Today was a two skirt day. Tiring and productive. My brain hurts and I need some rest.


{Each of these skirts will be available in the shop soon. details to come.}

New girl Tees

Today there are new girl tees in the shop.



The Caribbean Girl Tee

This is such a fun color for young girls. I love the playfulness of the yellow flowers against the sky blue shirt.



The Freedom Girl Tee

Every girl needs a fun 4Th of July shirt to wear to summer festivities. I love the combination of stripes and complimentary buttons.


Don't forget about the giveaway.... enter here.

Marion in Review

Connie over at About Him and Her did a nice little review of Marion by Natalie.




I few months ago Connie asked me to make her the St. Patricks day skirt that I had made for myself.


It was my first project for someone else and I enjoyed it a lot.
Typically when I start a project I do not really know where it is going or what it will end up looking like.
This was nice because I was familiar with every single step and it cut the sewing time in half.



Thank you Connie for all the support!

Oh the Places You'll Go......Shoppe Grande Opening!

If I were marching at graduation, I would be marching today.
As I recall the go-to speech for most graduation ceremonies is Dr. Seuss' 'Oh the Places You'll Go.'
So in honor of skipping out on graduation and enjoying my first day free of ASU undergrad responsibilities, I present to you my Dr. Seuss inspired Tees.


You're off the Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!
{via}






The California Tee





The Manhattan Tee




The Avonlea Tee




The Netherfield Tee





The Caribbean Tee





The Madagascar Tee




I do not know what life has in store for me from this point on, but I look forward to all the new adventures that this new venture will bring.
