St.Patrick's Day

Sometimes, well actually, most of the time I see something that inspires me and I just have to make it right away. This time it was a pair of socks. The pink and green caught my eye, because they’re my favorite color combo. I came up with this one oa kind, special edition Bratty Patty with a new twist using this cute pair of pink and green shamrock socks for her sweater! She has cute little details like a gathered skirt from pink and green stripes, her legs are green leopard, she’s holding her glittery pot of gold and as always, has a bow in her hair.

Hope you like :)

update: 2/6/2012 Just received a message today from the sweet girl who ordered this doll…” Hi Paige - just wanted to say that I received the doll and can’t get over how cute she is! I’m giving her to my niece as a flower girl gift for our St. Patrick’s Day wedding. She is going up love her! Thanks again!!”

Flip flops....even in the cold

 I went on a “hunt” of sorts to find a pair of navy flip flops….and this is what I came up with….a few more pairs than I was intending.

But, nothing feels better than when the UPS man shows up with presents. And just to make my day brighter, I write in the gift message section upon ordering…something along the lines of “you’re beautiful and wonderful and you deserve a little something special” :)

Now if I could just find a pair of those pink and green “daiquiri pink mckim” lilly pulitzer sandals….life, for the moment, would be complete.

Update!  A lot of searching, for months...but,  I found them!!!!! YAY!  They're last season, but I don't care...I love, what I love.

Now, I want grey sandals.  Why can't they just make what I like?  Doesn't everyone need grey flip flops to match their grey sweats?

OMG! My new fabrics just arrived. I absolutely love designing these patterns and seeing them come to life! This is really exciting and I just had to share. I will be showing some new dolls and designs soon…I can’t wait to get my hands all over this and make something cute!
Maybe I’ll have a contest with fatquarters as a giveaway??? Hmmmm…..

Pink, Yellow & Green Color Scheme

Putting together the color scheme for my new house. Shades of pink, yellow and green with hand painted furniture in cream. 

My dishes are Botanic Garden by Portmeirion.  I am going to upholster some furniture in the yellow and pink stripe.  Curtains of a large houndstooth pattern.  I'm waiting for the wall stencil to arrive and will do the walls with a very pale sage green (Currently they are an ivory-ish yellow.  So, I might just work with that).  The little posie print is called "Empress Woo". (How cute is that???)  I painted the table myself in a cream color with a pale pink damask pattern stenciled on it, then antiqued.  The shabby chic rose rug is a hand tufted wool.
