little rose will be on the Billycart Markets next Saturday!

Busy sewing so I have to keep it short ;)

Would love to see you there...

Have a look at the Billycart Markets website for all the information.

Tutu for Rose

It was Rose's birthday yesterday and she had made a list for her birthday with one item high on her list. She wanted a tutu! Just like Lola (from Charlie and Lola).

I had found such a pretty one at the Mathilda's Market from little fish creations. Red and hot pink!

Rose got her tutu yesterday and I think I was just as happy with it as she was. It looked divine on her. She didn't want to take it of anymore because she needed it for dancing! After we had carefully put it back in the box with the butterflies on it, she was happy to hop in bed without wearing it. The next morning the first thing she did was put on her new tutu over her pyjama's...

Thanks Dianne :)

Lulufroufrou

These beautiful clips are made by the lovely Linda from Lulufroufrou.
Rose has got a collection of her gorgeous hair pretties. They are her absolute favorite.

When Linda had the idea of a collaboration I knew the clips would be stunning!

Have a look at a couple of her creations.

You can find the little rose collection by lulufroufrou and many other beautiful hairclips HERE
Thanks Linda!

Mathilda's Market

The Mathilda's Market has come and gone and again we had a lovely time. The weather was great, so hubby and Rose were outside playing while I was inside showing all the new little rose clothing.
A great thanks to everybody who came by and said Hi.
I will be listing some pieces of the collection in my made-it shop the coming weeks. So for the ones who could not decide on the spot, they can always have a look again :)

Winter 2010 (part two)

Thanks Rose for changing into many outfits and Grandma for finding ways to persuade Rose to take of that very pretty skirt and try on something else. Thanks to Amelia from Willows for the flowers! The hair clip showing in the last picture is Rose's favorite! Polka dots and Holly Hobie from lulufroufrou.

Little Rose will be on the Mathilda's Market 2th of May.

I will list some pieces of the collection on Made-it after the market :)

new fabrics

Yeah!! The new fabrics have arrived!

They are beautiful :)
Busy time ahead, because I have three more stockists. I will be doing the Mathilda's Markets in May and hope to be on the Billycart Markets in June.
Luckily grandma has just arrived from the Netherlands and Rose loves her of course, so I will be able to get a lot done....

working from home

This is why I am so happy to be able to work from home.

Last week I was cutting out some shoes when Rose was having her midday sleep. She woke up a bit to early and walked into the room I was working at. 'O pretty colours' she said and sat down beside me to have a look at what I was doing. Then she hopped up, walked to the pile of the pieces I had just cut into shape and started to sort the fabrics while humming a little song.

Ow so cute, I thought. And although it is a real juggle sometimes taking care of Rose and having a little business as well. I was so happy to be able to see Rose in this way and have this time with her. It took me much more time to finish all the cutting, but that didn't matter at all!

Winter 2010 (part one)

Here is the first bit of the little rose winter 2010 collection!

Is is way to warm at the moment to put Rose in winter clothing for a little shoot, so this was the best I could come up with to give you a bit of an idea of what the winter will look like, but as soon as the weather gets a bit cooler Rose and I will make some pics...

The winter stuff will be available in my made-it store soon.

Let them eat Cake

New winter collection is coming up. I am still waiting on one piece of fabric to arrive from the Netherlands and then I am all ready to go.

New Zealand

Ow New Zealand was great!
What a stunning country. Can you use stunning to describe a country!?
We went to the south Island. Christchurch, Queenstown and everything in between. Gorgeous mountains, lakes and misty bits. Very Lord of the Rings :)
We did some hiking, even Rose walked around for a bit, jumping over the rocks. She loved it.
It was nice and cool there (being Dutch I like that in the Middle of February ;)) and very easy to get around with a toddler.
Rose decided this was the time for her to get potty trained. I wasn't to sure about her timing but she was and hoped on every strange toilet and found nice grass bits to do a wee.
Hubby decided this was the time to jump out of a plane! Rose and I waited safely on the ground and watched him from being a teeny white spot high in the air turning into 'a cat in the hat' as Rose called all the people dangling in the air on a parachute, to landing safely on the ground with a big smile on his face!
I mostly relaxed...

Now back to the sewing again...
