Pretty in Yellow and Pics of the kids!

Pretty in Yellow is listed in the shop!

YAY!

It is sooo pretty.

I have one more floral Japanese fabric to use. They are just sooo pretty and girly. The fabric is soooo soft.

I also took all the kids out to take pics.

Good old City of Tacoma decided to mow all the cool intercity fields. So all my spots are gone. I wanted to cry.

I managed a few pics before everyone went crazy.

I LOVE this one! My oldest Hank is getting sooo grown up. I almost cried when I was editing the pics.

The rest of the pics are just silly.

The boys look so cute in their clothes from Red Wagon Kids.

These cute ties shirts are from Small Beans.

I think I have girls knocking down my doors in my future! What do you think????

Don't forget only a couple more days to enter the giveaway for the Fleur L'enfant set.

Pretty In Pink!

The newest creation from Forty Toes is called Pretty in Pink!

I will be able to make two more of these sets.

I LOVE this Japanese fabric.

The pattern is from my favorite Zozobugbaby!

The cute hair clip can be worn in the hair or on the top/dress!

The combo came to me when Amanda asked for a pink or green hair clip to match a MJ and I thought how about combining the colors.

I think it looks great.

I will be listing the two piece set in the shop today!

I also sent off my first Forty Toes creations today!

I am nervous but also very excited for everyone to get their clothes

Don't forget to enter the giveaway below to win a Fleur L'enfant outfit!

It is gorgeous!

I will pick a winner on July 4th!

The gorgeous tights are from one of my favs Amazing Gracie.

Eden's Bouquet & the Market Collection!

I have been trying to contain myself!

It has been very very hard to stop myself from buying more clothes because my fav Jen from Eden's Bouquet has a new line of clothes.

I LOVE her stuff!

Because of her I got into Etsy and from there look at all the things that are happening for me!

YAY!

On top of being the coolest designer of kids clothes she also is a Mom to 9 kids.....

She is a role model in sooo many ways!

Here are my two youngest in her clothes!

AWWWWW! Love it!

Forty Toes!

Fun day!

I listed the Brandi Lynn set today.

Named after my little sis. I wish I had her senior pic because she has one that looks just like this pose above.

This is actually the last pic taken one because it was starting to rain and mostly because she was announcing she had to go number two. Hee Hee!

Remember I decided to follow Amy of Evy's Tree and start potty training.

What was I thinking?????

I LOVE these flowers I got the patterns and the fabric from Dream Spun Kids.

I am allowed to use her patterns as long as I don't under price her. Sooo I am sooo excited!

I love these tights too! They come from the wonderful Amazing Gracie.

Thanks to my Mom for going out and looking for more tank tops.

I thought I could just order online at Old Navy or GAP but no such luck!!!

Non to be found but my Mom went on a search so I am good for now.

I will be listing the brown tank later tonight!

I have lots of colors for the flowers so just email me for a custom listing !

Don't forget about my give away below!

I will announce the winner on July 4th!

I am also sad to say Dear Lillie will be closing for a month or so tonight!!!

So if there is something you have been eyeing you need to go over there right now and place your older. Plus she has a giveaway going on her blog too!

I LOVE Dear Lillie! I will miss you this summer and be counting down to you reopen!

Here are a couple more pics from the other day when I shot pics for Fleur L'enfant!

Dearlillie Giveaway, Fleur L'enfant Giveaway and the water park!

My favorite store Dear Lillie is having a giveaway on their blog!

I was so excited to get their slate tank top in the mail. I have a slate shirt too so we match but it also matches perfect with this skirt from a gorgeous store called Dream Spun Kids.

You may even see versions of this skirt in my store because I bought her pattern.

Oh ya do you like the new watermark from Carrie at Main Street Bowtique?

She is just the nicest person. I can not say how many times she has helped me out!

The other day I took pics for Fleur L'enfant. Who is also having a giveaway on her blog.

I was sooo excited that I did not even notice until I got home that I had not gotten any pics of the gorgeous stone in the flower on the dress so I headed out to take a couple more today with the clothes above.

It took maybe 15 minutes and I got the best pics I think I have ever taken.

We then headed to the water park.

This is going to be the best summer yet as a MOM I just know it!

INGRID B DESIGNS

I LOVE Ingrid B Designs

I discovered her when I first started buying clothes for Stella Marie on Etsy.

Well many outfits and baby blankets later I was in love.

She is an amazing seamstress.

Her clothes are made sooo well and everything I have ever ordered has been worn thrown in the wash and still looks brand new.

I love using her stuff as gifts because they always come so nicely packaged.

She is sooo fast too. She gets everything out within a week or so.

She contacted me about taking pics for her. I could not believe it.

I know you all keep hearing me say this but I can not believe people are trusting me to take pics of their product.

I am sooo honored. I just can not express it enough.

I got this in the mail last week too. It is sooo pretty.

The colors are just sooo bright and cheery.

Plus I learn so much from her. She did this from a tank top. I consider myself an Etsy expert and I have never seen anyone do this kind of ruffle to a tank top.

It is adorable.

Her store is on vacation but will be reopening soon.

She gave me the okay to share a couple pics.

Hugs Jenn!

Oh ya I almost forgot. I added my first listing to Etsy.

I can not even believe it!

Fleur L'enfant

I woke up today sooo excited that it was not raining.

It seems like it has been raining 40 days and 40 nights around here and it is summer. Depressing!

Anyone that knows Washington knows we are all for the rain because that is what gives us that gorgeous state we live in but this much rain in June is just too much.

I digressed! I woke up and was soooo happy to be able to get outside and take pics!!!!

Last week I got these unbelievable outfits from Fleur L'enfant to photograph.

I had to pinch myself. Fleur L'enfant was one of my first Etsy purchases for Miss Stella Marie and now the designer is asking me to take pics for her.

I was sooo nervous but I just got the thumbs up! She says she likes them and that I can share a few. She will have them listed in her shop in the next 24 hours. YAY!

Everything is soooo pretty guys! Lots of girliness!

But as always everything is made so well and will last!

I was telling my Mom about how it went and she thought you all would enjoy hearing the process.

Well after getting us all out the door with all the clothes flowers etc. The oldest decides he has to go to the bathroom and of course the other two follow. We head home everyone gets out goes to the bathroom then we pile back in again off to the park.

We get there start taking pics and Miss Stella Marie who is potty training decides she needs to go number two. We are no where near the potty and she is in the all white outfit. So off to find a potty.

At this point I am questioning why did I decide to start the training thing. (Thanks Amy.) You got me inspired.

Then we get back to picture taking boys are waiting in the car screaming and yelling in the background.

She decides she doesn't want to take pics. I was like oh yes we are. It is not raining and we are taking pics. So I decide to make-up a story about a fairy that lives in the park. I kept saying I think the fairy lives over there Miss. Stella Marie lets go see and she would say no mom there is no fairy...

I felt like a stage MOM!

What have I turned into.

Hey don't judge you too would be making things up if you could get clothes like this...

Did I say they are gorgeous!

Thanks Andrea for being so kind to me and letting me shoot your gorgeous clothes!!!!

I am forever thankful!!!!!
