Daydream Believers: April 2011

Easter Dresses 2011

Here's a peek at the dresses I made for my girls to wear
this Easter - I love the modern, jewel tone fabric!

V*s dress -

Sweet & Simple "The Betty" style :)

I love this fabric and the sweet ric rac trim!

Miss I*s Dress -

Vintage-inspired apron dress with an extra-twirly-skirt :)

I was unsure about the knot ties, but they are really cute on! :)

Miss I* loves the sweet little "apron"

Such a fun "Sister Set" -

Fingers crossed that the weather warms up before Sunday! :)

The forecast is showing temps in the 40s! Ick! My girls may be

rockin' their new dresses with snow boots this year! ;)

I just received some fun photographs from Jes Brown
of Parapluie Mod Events and Jes Brown Photography -
I have TONS of beautiful images to share... once I catch up
on some sewing and have time to write up a whole post! ;)

Until then, here's a sneak peek of the loveliness...

Happy Sunday, Friends! :)

Baby Girl's Custom Wardrobe, Part One

As I've mentioned, my sweet sister and bro-in-law are expecting
their first daughter this spring. We are all so excited for them,
and just love that there is going to be a new little lady in our tutu crew! ;)

I LOVE designing for babies, especially girl babies! :)
I have had so much fun creating for baby L* these last few months!
Here are a few of my fav pieces from L's custom-wardrobe! :)

This sweet dress is just my sister's style!

The bold brown & white zebra with deep orange trim are
a bit unconventional for babies, but I love the combination!

The dress was made from a soft knit onesie, so it will be
comfortable for Lia to wear, and easy for mom & dad to dress her in! :)

These Amy Coe shoes matched perfectly! :)

J The Daydream Believers Shop will be closed

Wednesday April 6 - Wednesday April 13.

I am (thankfully) swamped and need some time to

complete all of the rad projects on my plate!

In the meantime, keep checking the website & Facebook page

for a look at what I’m working on and some

sneak peeks of “Queen Bees at the Beach” ;)

Thanks, friends!

This weekend, we showered their sweet little family with love and well wishes at an intimate baby shower. The theme, choosen by my talented mama, was "Sweet as can BEE" - Here's a recap of the party :)
