Strawberry Fields forever...

Tuesday, February 23, 2010
I have been wanting to sew a dress for the upcoming "strawberry picking" season, and today I saw this fabric...I really liked it, so I made this dress tonight for Madelyn to wear for her first "picking" trip of 2010....hopefully all this cold weather won't delay the March start...I created a flower-type brooch for the waistline that is removable and can be placed anywhere...Maddy was all about it...if you click on the pic you can see more detail...too bad this will be strawberry-stained after the first trip (hopefully Gain will be powerful enough to get it out!!). This is Maddy's first official strapless (non-swimsuit and non-cover-up) dress.

January 2010

Over the holiday, my good and long-time friend Julie insisted I start designing and selling my work...I never really considered selling my work seriously to the public, as the amount of time put in comes no where close to equal profit received, but I thought I would give this whole idea a simple start by creating a blog dedicated solely to my work as it is created...a working portfolio as you will. I am always up for a good creative challenge...and will be happy to create a custom project or item for your special occasion or as a gift...handmade happiness...it's made to order...so thanks Julie, thanks for your confidence and fanfare...here it goes...
