Twins are expected!

My dad had twins as siblings~

My mom had twins as siblings~

I was so very grateful to have one baby at a time!

(Dress is Carter's baby & the little boys onesie is by Oshkosh)

I added the little illustrations to match their nursery themes~

One of my sweetest cousins is expecting fraternal twins!

Girl and a boy!

They were showered with treasures and so very deserving!

The sweetest of families~

These little outfits will only fit them for a short time~

They will forever fit their favorite teddy bears!

When I saw that they had white Onesies on their gift registry

I knew could have some fun with them!

There is an owl tucked in her collection &

I kept most of his illustrations nautical themed.

They can wear them...

Have them made into their first T-Shirt quilt...

Keep them for always~

I cut some of my Finch & Friends flannel fabric in pink for her!

(Red Rooster Fabrics) 

Blue in the same two patterns for the little fella~

The twins have a large & beautiful family & the most amazing friends.

Oodles of loving arms just waiting to hold them!

Precious little hearts~

Hope your week is off to a great start, Friends!

Pen & Ink Hedgehog on vintage baby dress~

Hope your day is off to a great start!

Wishing your heart every sweet happiness~

Vintage Baby Dresses...

Teddy bears love to model for me...

Peek-a-boo!

It was perfect on her!

But...

It is available in my Etsy Shop with the other vintage dresses~

Vintage dresses are becoming more and more difficult to find...

I think Alaina & I discovered some of these when we were visiting family

in Arizona last May!

Little ribbons of detail...

Getting ready for the Christmas tree!

Hope your weekend is filled with wonderful memories & love~

Vintage Baby Dresses...

I think I depleted our local supply of vintage baby dresses...

(at least the ones in my price range for drawing on)

Guess where these beautiful treasures are from?

Arizona!

Our Arizona family took us to galleries, National Parks...

ANTIQUE STORES!

I have oodles of beautiful little dresses to make for my Etsy!

This one is a little romper~

Each one more beautiful...

Some are loved a little more~ showing their age...

My first baby is graduating from high school in a few short weeks...

I remember her soft little hands making a fist...

...until they were inside a sleeve!

Maybe I should have dressed dolls a bit more!

A Sweet Friend sent two vintage dresses to me~

I drew her ideas in pen & ink on them...

Sent them home to her and she shared that she wished

they made these little dresses, with art, for adults!

~Made me smile~

I lightly soaked them yesterday.

Just to take the dust off~

I love the vintage color, light spotting etc.~ adds character!

I'm finishing up a collection of deadlines~

I hope to play! Play! PLAY! This weekend!

Hope your weekend is filled with creative fun~

Vintage~ Spring Baby Dresses...

Each little bunny with a face, personality and

loving heart of its own~

I have never had a pet rabbit... As a child, they were "wild."

As an adult, we have three cats.

Our children ask~ can we have a hamster?

"No, because of the cats"

What about a Chinchilla?

"No, because of the cats"

Maybe a rabbit?

"No, because the cats would stalk it..."

We have a bird cage... could we have a bird?

"No... because of the cats"

Perhaps someday...

When our current furry loves have gone~

I will have a bunny!

Until then, I will draw them~

Some of these little dresses are on their way home...

Others will be listed in my Etsy shop.

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!
