Is she not just absolutely adorable! Tutus and zebra seem to just go together like peanut butter and jelly! They're perfect for each other and zebra with fuschia is always a winning combination.
Aren't these images just gorgeous! Can't you just feel the warmth of the sun! 
As for me...I'll be stitching up some new styles for spring.
If it's still pink that I'm after, I could get the striped ones above or the cheetah below.
But these red ones are just so sassy! I'm loving the bow on the back.
But then theres's just something about these purple plaid ones...
So many choices and only two feet. What's a girl to buy?
If you are into paper crafts, I want to share something with you that will make your life much easier. When I make cards, I usually use 2 sided tape to adhere the layers. Time consuming to say the least, and not the system I wanted to use to put together numerous save the dates. My friend, Janae, sent me the Micheals ad for this tape gun and off I went to purchase it immediately.
Janae and I previously used the commercial version when we worked in the invitations industry, and I'm thrilled to have this version now at almost half the price. Michaels sells it for about $40 and the best part is that you can use a 40% coupon on it. Oh, no...the BEST part is that it's pink so it matches my craft room!
It's easy to load the tape and even easier to use. Get one. I guarantee you'll love it. Now on to the wedding invitations...
Yep, right there in the bottom corner, it's a pair of my Denim Comfort shoes for boys! I was looking at a site tonight called Craftcult that gives Etsy members the option to see if they have been listed in any treasuries that have been on the front page. I knew I hadn't been, but entered All Things for Baby anyway. I was so surprised when I saw this. And it was way back in April. How could I have missed it? My business was only 2 months old and this was one of the original 6 pieces that I listed. My shoes have been listed in many treasuries since then, but never on the front page, so it was so fun to see this.
So, here's a peek of some of what I purchased for Spring 2011. I had such a hard time making up my mind. Don't you just love it! I wanted to buy more, but there's that thing called a "budget". I can't wait to receive it and start creating. Can't you just picture the mary janes, sandals, and high tops already! Oh, and the best part...neither seller over charged on shipping. Makes me love the fabric even more, and you can bet I'll be shopping with them again!
I know which ones I want!
You can find more of Jenny's creations here on her blog. In the meantime, I'll be at the fabric store looking for aqua/blue and red fabric. I'm feeling inspired to do some shoes in Jenny's signature color combination!
As I look back on 2010, I see the newfound confidence that I have gained by starting my own business. A year ago I didn't even know what Etsy, blogging, or Facebook were...and now they are all a part of my everyday life. I've improved my writing and photography skills and have my own website. I've rediscovered my love for sewing and am a happier person because of it.
