Spring Designs

Can I just admit to a huge crush on the new nicey jane line
by heather bailey?
I don't think the colors could be more perfect...
I know that most think spring should be pastels and such.
-
But I like to break the rules around here =)
I think, after a long winter, sometimes spring should scream COLOR- don't you?

This line has the perfect combo of soft patterns and yummy colors-perfect for our transition to warm(er) weather and fun seasonal parties.
I created a knot dress and added an apron with pom-pom trim for good measure.
I never could leave well enough alone.

The bodice is made of a beautiful, crisp white pique-perfect for embroidering or a monogram.
Add leggings underneath as a cute accessory
OR
for a said wild child who cannot be bothered to act ladylike in a dress
(ahemm)
Knot dress (newborn-size 8)-$45.00
Sterling silver/colored stone/swarvoski crystal

Seeing your 'lil one light up when it's in her easter basket?

Miracle

Weighing in at 1 pound 5 oz,
this baby girl
-Kynlie Faith-
has been a fighter since day one.

She captured my heart the moment I saw her photos and read her caring bridge site.
Her parents are a couple from my small hometown and her mom, Ashlee did a great job updating her site and prayer requests. Heartbreakingly, Kirstin- Kynlie's twin sister- was still born. It seemed an uphill road for Kynlie, full of unknowns and challenges.

***
Born 16 weeks premature, Kynlie faced what seemed insurmountable odds. Prayers flooded in from everywhere. Her caringbridge site received tens of thousands of visitors in her 3 + month NICU stay.

And today, not only is Kynlie a fighter,
she's a winner.
.
Because Kynlie went home last week.
.
Home to the nursery prepared for her with love.
Home to the family & friends who prayed for a miracle.
-
Prayed for a miracle & received, all gorgeous 5.5 pounds of her!


Imagine my surprise and delight when her mom ran across my website & contacted me to put together an ensemble for Kynlie. Ashlee said, after everything Kynlie had been through, she felt she deserved something custom made to go home in.
Well, I could not agree more.
She said she loved pink and brown together and let me take it from there.
Be still my heart, I love it when customers give me free reign =)
-
I kept sewing, measuring, trying to imagine how big 5 pounds would be.

Hand dyed beanie, Swarvoski crystals, ruffles, minky, raveled rosettes...
No detail was overlooked.

From the top of her head, to the bottom of her feet...

She'd be stylin', this lil Miss Kynlie.
.
"The best dressed baby to ever leave the hospital",
as one sweet customer put it!
As always, it is the photos of my little customers wearing their clothes that bring me SO much joy! Mom Ashlee was great about emailing adorable pictures of Kynlie wearing her Pampered Tots Boutique ensemble.
.

Though this baby girl would look beautiful wearing a brown paper bag, I'm sure of it.
Is she the most precious 'lil thing or what?

I loved being a part of your homecoming, Kynlie Faith.
You are a true miracle.
A true gift.

Watch out world,
Kynlie's taken' you by storm.
