Wow, I turned around for a second and it is already mid March?! Yikes.....My poor blog is getting a bit dusty and quiet, and I really didn't intend to be gone for so long. I have been working on little dresses and enjoying all the spring weather California is giving us. March is always so very beautiful in our area, with sparkly sunshine, blooms and spring showers. Every time it rolls in, I remember when Caitlin was born, and all the wonderful memories of her baby times. I had a memory the other day of a beautiful spring day going into the city to buy Easter candy, when she was a few weeks old. I remember holding her up by my shoulder and her sleeping quietly while we walked in a quaint San Francisco neighborhood. I wanted to forever capture that moment in my mind because it was such a beautiful day. When spring comes around every year, that is one of my most fondest memories. Caitlin will also turn 24 next week, and we plan to have a special dinner in the city with both Caitlin and Cyrous.
The dress above is now in the shop and ready for some lucky little girl to wear possibly for Easter. I truly wish people could feel this dress in person, because it is really dreamy I must say! The shell buttons on the back are iridescent, so it picks up all the pinks and purples in the dress! The collar is so pretty against the Liberty fabric. Oh Liberty you kill me with all your gorgeousness! If I could shrink myself I would wear this for Easter! Next on the cutting table are some matching bloomers in this same fabric. They would be cute underneath this dress, or just as is. Hopefully they will be in the shop early next week. If you follow me on Instagram, you can see more of what I'm up to. I try and not duplicate photos on here so, if you want to see a variety of photos from me, go there too and follow me if you would like. Say hello, and if you have an Instagram I'll follow you too. Just mention that you came from here :)
Hope your weekend is a good one!
I know the feel of Liberty fabric--wonderful! Still no little girls for those sweet dresses. I keep hoping!! I once had a Liberty tea cozy that I used until it was thread bare.

The the dress is so beautiful, Elizabeth. And what a special touch to have the collar be translucent. The dress, itself, it like a breath of Spring. Lovely work. I also loved reading the part about your perfect spring day memory when Caitlin was little. I, too, tend to freeze certain moments.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolina! I love this little dress so much, that if I don't sell it I really won't be that sad....It is really dreamy. I'm making some little bloomers with the same fabric next.
DeleteMy newest daughters middle name is bluebell, if you come up with something with a design incorporating the flower I'm sure my wife would be a happy shopper.
ReplyDeleteI actually have some Liberty fabric, that is the same shade as the bluebell flower. Perhaps I'll come up with something delightful with it. I'll keep your little one in mind when I use it.
