Christmas at the beach

When you are two and 8 months old, how much fun is it to go to the beach in December and run around in your bare feet and play with the sand! We took the kids there this past weekend and had a great time..Of course had them decked out with some Pick A Stitch hats-love, love, love the red and green ribbon hat...I discovered them to late for this year but will definitely carry them next year

Coming Soon!!

So excited for the holidays but, also looking forward to January when I will be adding some new things to Pick A Stitch.com. I will be doing something for dogs and cats and doing something for the little one's rooms...a little hint in the picture above!! I hope as the year progresses I can add some more items for mom and dad but seeing as how we are busting out of our house now I am not sure where I would keep anything else!! I don't think I realized how much room ribbon and burp cloths can take up!

I think I found it!

So I have this great summer dress that I absolutely love as does everyone else!!! But it is getting really hard to get..so I have been looking into having it made for Pick A Stitch.com. I love the white but would love to have it in a pink or my favorite, periwinkle, or even my all time favorite-Seersucker( with a cute little white sweater to match! looking into that too!) I think I found the material I have been looking for and just ordered some sampels tonight from a funky fabric store in the village. Purlsoho is this awesome fabric/yarn store in soho that carries a lot of Amy Butler, Rober Kaufman and Alexander Henry. Just ordred my samples and can't wait to get them!! I am learning all about pattern making, grading and manufacturering in high quantities. So hopefully by early spring they will be ready. I will keep you posted..

Tis the Season!

So the holiday season is really here! When owning a retail business the holiday season takes on a whole different meaning and makes it kind of hard to get in the spirit of things. So this morning while I sewed orders for Lil Lulu's my two year old and 7 month old watched Mickey's Christmas special on Disney-and now I can say I have the Christmas bug..I have the itch to get the tree and get out all the decorations and get up the 4 stockings! Last year there were only three to hang..so this year will be even more fun to watch the little ones open or try to open the presents. Enjoy this time of year, it all goes so fast and in the chaos of the season it is easy to forget the true meaning of it all. So enjoy the season and your loved ones.
