Roosters-N-Rickrack Pinafore GIVEAWAY!!!!

I have wanted to post about this lovely blog since I first visited it a few weeks ago. Grosgrain is the bloggings of Kathleen Dougherty, a talented fabric artist and mother of two darling little girls. Her creations are so crisp and perfect and beautiful. When you look at her blog it makes you want to run to your sewing machine and try to create something as lovely as the dresses you see. With so many cookie cutter fashions for kids these days, her vision brings you back to a time when quality was more important than quantity when it came to children's fashions. I wish I was wealthy so I could hire her to make all my kids clothes. If you haven't happened upon this blog yet, you should defiantly take a look. You will be delighted.

PS. I have added Grosgrain to my Links

The Swing of Things

Please excuse the horrible perspective in the one drawing. It was late, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to get all my ideas for the playroom project down on paper. I am super excited about the chance to work on this project. I can use all of the tools that Kerri gave me and apply them to the job. The family I am working for are the nicest. The biggest issue that they have right now is the lack of storage. Plus since it's in a basement it needs to be brightened up (they have an emerald green carpet at the moment). I will be running out tonight to a few fabric stores to get memo samples for the presentation. These are just the rough sketches. I will be starting the final sketches for the clients tonight. I won't be showing a before picture until the end (I promised the client I wouldn't). So wish me luck on my very first playroom remodel.

In other happenings......we are heading to play in the "squirt" fountains this morning after we walk. All of the girls and their little ones will be meeting in front of the theatre for a little cool off water fun.

Our computer is still not working 100%. So I have to baby it right now. Please forgive me for the lack of post's, I'm just trying to get back in the swing of things. Hope everyone has a great week.
