Oldies but Goodies

I've had such a busy couple of weeks making clothes for other people that I didn't get a chance to work on any new designs. Well, that's not entirely true...I started working on a new peasant dress design with a fully shirred bodice, but it didn't quite work out so I have to go back to the drawing board on that one. I also made a new Miss Mamie romper for my growing green bean, but do we really need a picture of another Miss Mamie? Then again, that is one of my favorite outfits and I love the heck out of them...so I'm sure you'll be subjected to more Miss Mamie pics.

So I decided to bust out my camera and torture my poor daughter today by making her model some of my older designs which I still love but haven't sold yet. I suspect the photos were getting "stale" and people got sick of looking at them. Even I got sick of looking at them hanging on the rack until I put them on her and fell in love all over again. I hope the new pictures refresh some interest in these adorable outfits! Of course, my photography stinks as usual. When/if I ever make a bunch of money I'll buy a DSLR camera and stop insulting your eyeballs!


Maybe I'm a sucker for the rompers, but this outfit, the Baleigh Bubble Halter has always been one of my favorites. I honestly thought it would have been one of the first to go so I was surprised at the lack of interest. This is a one of a kind outfit and always will be and it's perfect for nearly every occasion. I can only think that my other photos were bland and maybe it's one of those things that need to seen in person to appreciate!


I love this colorful dress, but now it's losing its "summer" status. I'd hate to have to wait until next spring for everybody to see how special this dress is!


This dress would be cute for the remainder of the summer or fall, and I also see a turtleneck underneath it with a pair of jeans. The colors really stand out - but I worry that it might be another outfit that might need to be seen in person!

That being said, I have done a cursory look around the Denver area for art fairs. Oddly enough, in this artsy-fartsy area I have been unable to find anything. I'll just have to keep my eye out - I'm new to the whole art or craft fair world. Any pointers?
