My secret obsession - photographers

I tried to take some photos this weekend and did not have a lot of success - this is my best effort - which I may have overdone in the editing - but I think its cool! I love visiting the photographers blogs and looking at their gorgeous pictures- its amazing how a whole mood can be captured in a photo! And how good these talented ladies make the clothes look! I regret so much that we didn't do baby photos of the kids - How I would love photos of them all curled up with their chubby cheeks - so cute!
Whenever I know photos of my clothes are on their way - I get so excited. I check my email every hour - I'm like a kid the night before Christmas. If I won the lottery - I would probably design clothes all day and send them to photographers just to see how the pics turned out. Some dream of buying an Island - I dream about pictures of my clothing creations - go figure!

I guess I will be checking my email the next few days...

American Girl Doll Dresses - I might be addicted!

I was asked by some buyers to make matching American Girl Doll dresses and skirts. At first I was hesitant - I didn't really think it was my thing. the sewing seemed to intricate and I work really hard on the fit and look of Jessiegirl clothes and wasn't sure that would transfer to miniature. Boy - was I wrong....it is so much fun! I may try out all my designs on miniature first! These three dresses are on their way to www.KimberlyVphotography.com but I am going to make a bunch more for Lincoln Center.

My 9 year old is on his way to Great Adventure tomorrow morning with a friend. He will be gone all day and is very excited about going. I have mixed feelings - I will miss him and worry a little bit that everything is ok - on the other hand it will be nice to have onlyJessie for the day. We are going to a craftshow in Greenwich which I was waitlisted for this year. I will reapply next year and I want to check out the artists and booths.

We did it!!! Our first facebook giveaway!!!

We not only reached twenty fans...but twenty one fans. Please check out our face-book page to see the winner of the new skirt!

Last night I realized that Lincoln center is coming upon me very quickly and I need to begin focusing again. I took a bit of a break after the Columbus Ave. Fair and time passed by way to fast. I am excited about Lincoln center but do not want to self sabotage myself - I think these fairs are like a marathon - you can't begin preparing a week before and be successful. Not that I have ever run a marathon - but I watch the NYC one every year on TV and think someday...maybe I will start walking again tomorrow! See this is how I get off track! Back to sewing!
