Can you even stand this? I was trying to sew a bit while Aspen was playing and so she decided to get into all my ribbons and she just accessorized herself here...and of course little miss had to add the perfect hat into the mix! 
Like mother, like daughter what can I say?
I just finished making Aspen these ruffled shorts late last night...they are so stinking cute I can't stand it...but they take forever finishing all those ruffles they way I want...so I haven't decided if I should sell them or not...but they are a take off on this little pant I started selling...I just love fabric and the more different colors I can pair together the more I love it!
This is the new combo I did...Aspen has a similar pair but in green with more flowers on it...very fun and when she is wearing them I get orders for them like crazy! 
So on Thursday, I heard this flutter around my shop...I had no idea what it was...in fact I was thinking something was going on with a light....and then all of the sudden I spotted her! This fabulous butterfly...and my front windows of my shop get so hot...I was so worried to lose her! I told my mama....and she told me, "Oh that is Madamoiselle..." our poor little long hair chihuahua we lost in the fall to a coyote. Then she said she has this brilliant Monarch butterfly that rarely leaves her yard and that is who she thinks she is...she said just let this one be...she will find her way....
The next morning, there she still was fluttering in the window and in the shop....Aspen ran around her, then I caught her....and opened the door to show her the way before the sun warmed that window too much for her! Now, Aspen calls butterflies whys....how funny, eh....it has been going on for months everytime we see one in a book or in the garden! These pics do nothing for her...she was such a pretty burgundy...like a pretty velvet burgundy! I think she found her way in because I have all these glittery butterflies on a bird cage in the window and they invited her...please come in and play! 
I haven't forgotten about you all I promise! Tourists in my boutique are keeping me busy running around this time of year....and then there are the piles of fabric all over my house and shop that are turning into some great little outfits! My chair is under construction...and the garden is a mess...but stay tuned!
Oh I am just so excited! I just got in some new fabrics for my beloved shop chair...this poor chair...I bought it nine years ago when I opened my boutique, and it has gone thru some weathering...so when I was moving my shop to a larger space I bought all these fab silk tafetta fabrics to recover my chairs in and make dressing room curtains...and then...I had my baby. Thankfully I didn't recover the chairs! She loves to wipe her milk all over my chairs...plus...let me see...I think people have spilled coffee on my chairs monthly! 
Just picked up this sweet baby this weekend at a sale because I wanted the little one they were selling with her. She is for sale now on ebay if you love her! Her dress is so beautiful I had to pick her up, though I am not very knowledgable about dolls!
