What will spring bring ??




Now with fall's splendor turned to the brown stalks and darker light of winter, my thoughts are turned to spring and it's wonderful color. It's an inevitable fact that winter brings a deep craving for the raw glory of spring greens and yellows. I love the quintessential spring combination of green with the purples and whites of spring bulbs.

As a designer, I've taken time off to brood over the spring direction I'm taking and to work on planning. Since I found shop-keeping a distraction, I've closed my etsy.com shop for now. I am thinking of winter as a time to refresh and regroup...to plan my spring designs like a garden. I get excited peeking into other's shops, as well and seeing their creativity. It sparks creative bursts in me and I hope to express some of that here in this blog.

Weddings are a springtime perennial and I am hoping to produce more wedding and other event dresses. Here's one I completed with a few model pics. I love the simplicity and the ingenue feel of this design.

I've been hard at work making more spring things. I've especially been working hard on skirts, since almost everyone is ready for a skirt come spring!! I don't know about you, but my winter legs want to wear a bit of sunshine and air...yay for skirts and sandals!

Busy as a Bee!





When spring comes the bees get busy with flowers and I get busy sewing!! Haven't updated in a bit, but thought I'd pop in tonight to catch up! This beautiful weather makes it tougher to stay at my little machine and sew, but I've been doing it!

I also had some wonderful help recently in the form of a lovely modeling shoot by my friend Rachel who added her classical loveliness to my clothes. Thank you Rachel !!

I hope to have a few spring photos coming along soon, but all I have coming up is verbena!! Nevermind, it's lovely just to have sunshine and warmth!

Spring is for Dresses!!



















I'm gearing up for spring with dresses and skirts in all stages of completion! I am excited about the new designs I have and the cool new fabrics that are part of them. I even have a white, informal wedding type dress coming out! One thing that I've done is work on a few Medium and Large size items. I'm on my way towards making a few plus size clothes, but working on it slowly. Plus size involves a whole new way of thinking and designing to feature the best things  and accent them.

So I started out with a couple of Medium and Large dresses as a trial run. TA DA!!

Get ready for more springy styles to emerge in the days coming up!
