"fifty cents a cap!"

caps for sale palette: round two 

 

rainbow skirt + grey shell top (any chance the girls have to call something "rainbow," they're taking it.. also, ignore wrinkles).

 

 

 

red denim shorts + checkered cap top 

 

ruth has declared she will "never ever never take pictures again for mommy. not until tomorrow ever. forever!" luckily, eve is still willing. even on a morning when she is rushing to get to school to get the bus to get to the museum of natural history to get to the butterfly exhibit to stretch her little finger out in the hope that a butterfly finds it a nice place to rest. 

no such luck, the butterflies went to the teacher's head instead. but eve was glad to have a rainbow skirt "because butterflies really love rainbows. for real. and when they see my rainbow stripes it makes them happy and that's better than dead." so true.

Gosh you make the cutest outfits for you kiddos!!! That rainbow skirt is gorgeous. And I LOVE the idea of using favourite childrens' books as inspiration!

Your kids are so lucky to have such awesome clothes made just for them. I feel totally inspired when I see what you've created. Thanks for sharing!

Such beautiful MODERN clothes for your beautiful little girls. What an awesome job! You're inspiring me to start making clothing for myself again.... and my one year old!

I am INSANELY jealous of the darling clothes that you make for your beautiful girls!!!

i'm in love with that skirt. and that second outfit reminds me of the seventies. not that i was alive, then, but what i think it would've been like. all she needs is a pair of skates and a trip to a roller rink.

May 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercarrie

just wondering if you would consider doing custom orders? i love your clothes & my daughter would too!!!! or even consider selling patterns? not much of a sewer but am inspired to learn after seeing all this eye candy.

Are you sleeping at night Katie? How on earth are you spitting out all of these outfits while taking care of three children? So so beautiful! Maybe when I see you later this month some of your talent will rub off. I'm hoping so.

I'm new here... and I can relate to the daunting idea because I have three small children of my own, but seriously, where is your etsy shop? You are amazing!

May 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBrittany

We have decided you are a genius. Please open your own etsy store or sell your patterns online so we can all dress our children in such gorgeous, gorgeous clothes. Stunning!
Where on earth do you find the time to make all these beauties? I can't keep up!

I have been reading here for quite some time, but for some reason I never told you- you are a genius! I need to learn how to sew so that when I have kids I can do this too! Soooo creative!
Also, your kids are the cutest!

katie,
i found your blog on sunday, read half of it, and finished it today. i had to set a 2 page a day limit for myself :P anyway love the things you make for the girls (and yourself) and your style of writing. i just bought a pair of saltwater sandals in yellow, also my fav color, and i can't wait to try them when i get home.
