frocks for a fun summer fete!

I can't seem to get photos fast enough of these little reversible bubble dresses! Every time I am working on one...someone walks in and sees it and has to have it! I don't even get them embellished before they are sold! None the less...I had a spare moment to snap a pic of this one. It is a lime green with chandeliers on it and it reverses to this chocolate dot pattern. It has this darling, little flower belt that ties to dress it up even more! What a fabulous party dress...great for a day in the garden I should think!

The green fabric is from Tina Givens...she is so creative...she also does the artwork for the stationary line Cid Pear-- and I just ordered all new labels and tags from them with her imagery...I think they should be here later today!!! The tags I ordered remind me a lot of this fabric but with a little character tucked into the mix! Alright back to sewing...I am working on a new version of this dress with tiered ruffles....stay tuned!

A little bubbly!

So check out this new dress I made for little miss Aspen...it is completely reversible...the top pic is her casual wear....haha... and the bottom is her party wear! Bejeweled and all! This is born out of necessity though, Aspen loves to dribble milk on purpose to be funny and then her dress is done...so this is a perfect fit for us!

So I made her a couple reversible dresses....and then.....I made this huge stack of burpies to replenish the shop supply!

All in a day's work!

Sew Golden!

If you are a lover of Babylegs as much as Aspen and I are...well as you can tell, Aspen says she doesn't know...but yes, she does love Babylegs, they are having a campaign in June to drive sales to local boutiques by offering crazy prizes...they have golden tickets to give away just like Willy Wonka! Something like one in three or four has a prize the least of which will be a free pair of babylegs! Wowza! Or you can win a vacation or other baby clothing! How fun and exciting this will be for all of us! I love Babylegs to go with all the Pipsqueak Couture onesies...the ruffles on the butt plus the tops of baby's thighs sticking out of the Babylegs...oh...you could just squeeze them! And when you have a toddler like me...they are perfect for potty training and the ever squirming baby that doesn't stay put long enough to wear tights!

my latest creation for Aspen!

Last week my mom and I were at an estate sale. This was a close friend of our's, and she loved feminine things and lace and antiques as much as we do. Anyhow, bought an old collar from her to make Aspen a dress with and here is the creation! I have enough extra to do one more little dress for her. This is some Sis Boom fabric in purple and white, and then another lace from a slip I had, to make the apron for this dress. She loves it already, though she was asleep when I had the camera ready to go!

Crowns and Birdies...

Take a peek at the new design!

Finally...a few new pics of one of my new designs! This is my crown stack. I love this design; there are little birds throughout the design and the crowns run the length of the whole onesie...perfect for summertime, right? And there's glitter and Swarovski crystals on the whole thing, life doesn't get better than that!

Finally the new designs are here!

Now, of course once I get my new creations together my camera battery dies! So I only have a few things ready to see! But I will charge the battery tonight and get to it! I designed some new little baby sleep sacs with my Le BeeBee crest in glitter. I love this and it seems to be really popular so I have added several new colorations. The sleep sac is available in fuschia and yellow. The pink is very girlie with swarovski crystals added on it as well!

And ever the fabulous, little helper, Miss Aspen is fixing the clothing in my shop while adorning herself with her own string of pearls! Lucky, little thing!

I made her little tunic dress she has on...every time I get one of these into my shop, they walk out within an hour or so! The front has crystals on it...of course!

Art and Ghosts for inspiration!

I just picked up the new Somerset Studio the other day...and what a treat it was! There is a feature artist portfolio on Lou at Art and Ghosts. I immediately stopped by her site and bought a few pieces! Her work is so ethereal and whimsical....She reminds me a little of Mark Ryden working in a different media. He is one of my all time favorite artists! I love all the detail everything has. I really like when there is a picture within a picture...if you have any of my baby pieces you can tell that! My shop logo has my three dogs hidden in it...and my pipsqueak couture crest has my baby's face in it! Wonder if they all know they are famous? Ha, ha!

This is one of the prints I purchased, below. I love her face and I love those red deer...so does Aspen! I also really like the bird cages she uses...I am working on some baby things with birds and cages. Aspen is obsessed with birds, so I thought if would be fun to use them in my designs! Usually I always have my bee and crowns in everything...now I need to add a bird to the mix!

I love this image too...but it's not one I bought!

Here is my Pipsqueak Couture logo as it is on my cards. See little Aspen baby there! She is even wearing her bow! I also need to give a shoutout to Trendytots for featuring my Le Bee Bee Onesie today! What a great day to be at work! Thank you!

a little sneak peek!

So I have been building this baby line for a year or so now, and finally I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Today I finally got in one of my new designs from my screen printer. He is super creative too and he knows my love for glitter...and this is actually a little boy or gender neutral design if you can believe it! A little owl with a prince crown...super cute! Here is your first look before it goes in the shop! This is going to be a charcoal grey and red glitter two piece set! So, he told me there was a really cool red glitter and so was born a bevy of new ideas... I also had him print pink and gold glitter for the little girls because we all need our fair share of glitter...and princess crowns...and everything perfectly girlie!

how do you say valentine's day...

Just in case you are looking for some really darling last minute gift ideas for that cute little baby girl in your life, here is our favorite peony hat in red. This hat is awesome and gets so much attention you will hardly be able to walk down the street with your baby. And they are comfy for them! Aspen and I are working on valentines with this picture...glitter hearts and we are good to go!

Or if pink is more your speed...this pink and red combo is so darn cute! These are both available now in my etsy shop....and hopefully soon my online boutique!
