Spring Blue's


Wondering why I have the Spring blue's...cause it is SNOWING outside...Mads loves it..I on the other hand go into okay... power outage time..where is the flashlight..start the fire and actually get it going..cook the food...craziness! Mads goes into WHAHOOOOO mode..and since she has been home for 3 days from school sick is in CRAZED Whahoooo mode...oh the joy...
Not to be a bummer..but I soooo want Spring! I need Sunshine...badly...time to watch Men in Tree's..they are in Alaska..that makes me feel better! ha...ha!

Tranquil Summer...April 14th...that is the day!


I really should be in bed..the time change is killing me! I am a night owl anyway so right now it is only 12:15 in my mind...and my normal sleepy time is around 1 so 2 lately..it is going to catch up to me! Oiy!


Anywhoooo...onto the title...the 14th...mark it on your calander ladies and gents!! New super fab clothes for your super fab babes!!


My Tranquil Summer launch on the site will happen April 14th..that is the date and I am sticking to it! I am so so so excited! I ADORE the fabrics I am working with..and am taking my sweet time making sets that I think you will all love...I hope! I certainly do..and I have new amazing Photographer's that I am working with..can't wait to show them off just because so far they are flipping amazing to work with..how lucky am I! I am also sending some stuff for Justin to shoot in LA..this will be the first time he shoots without me there and I think it will come out better than ever cause I am not there to give my opinion...less stress for him. I am excited to show off new faces for BGR!!


Thought I would share another sneek peek of my Tranquil Summer launch..the rest you will just have to wait until April 14th!!!


I am also going on vacation from April 4th - 11th...I will be at home on vacation except for a short journey down to Portland to visit my good friend Violet aka Kungfubambini...and am also taking a trip into Seattle to see the Roman art that is visiting us from France..mainly it is Mads spring break so although I will be working, organizing....I will also be taking some mommy and kiddo days...I will be around just taking a break from orders so if you like something order it now cause after the 4th things are changing...no more sale and getting ready for a Tranquil Summer!!


Hope everyone is doing just fantastic...all the best...Sheila

Crazy Hat Day...for Justin




Mads loves littest pets and it was Crazy hat day at school..so what to do..well...this what we did!
G'night..
S

Dinner..and torture!


So Justin is back in LA LA land...and he told me he was going to visit some restaurants and enjoy his dining out and send me a pic of his experience..bite me...honey! You see..here on Whidbey we have very few restaurants and to be perfectly honest none that are super amazing that you want to visit everyday..except for Village Pizza..seriously the best Pizza I have had ever..but my home made pizza is great too and since the world of being on a budget is still reality I have a hard time paying 17.00 - 25.00 for a pizza or any take out food for that matter at this moment in time so I cook..which isn't a prob..I love to cook...and my hubby loves to eat and since he isn't here I am going to make him suffer just a bit..you go enjoy your restaurant food..love..here is what you are missing! Mads and I made this hot pot..and it was YUMMO!
Cheers!
Love ya..

BGR & My Deep Blue C


I had the pleasure of working with Rachel of My Deep Blue C on a little set that just came out so super sweet. You can find it on ebay...and be sure to check out Rachel's jeans..oh my!! They are fantab!! Search Boutique Betties or AnthologyInc for both our auctions..I am too lazy to add the link!
I haven't worked with vintage stuff in a while...just here and there actually and I do miss it...there is something about vintage linens or even fabric that you know a thousand people can't purchase at your fave quilt shop..not that I mind that but vintage is sweet...imo! And Justin and Mads just did a brilliant job at photo's...dontcha think??

My Roxy girl is laying by the door waiting for the man of the house to come home..it breaks my heart and kind of makes me sad..poor doggie..the first week Justin leaves it is always the hardest for everyone..it takes Madison some time to adjust..she becomes a grumpy little bugger and I hope this time around it doesn't happen..I did sit her down and have a long talk about it before Justin hit the road so hoping that little talk helped with her daddy withdrawls. I just get a sad little wash over me and then pop out of it..I have too much to do...which helps and is a good thing! I don't like having sadness..all is well in the world and I should be thrilled...and I am.

I am not listing on ebay for a week or so..I am catching up but am having a SALE on the site..so go check it out...and my Tranquil Summer fabrics are trickling in from Germany, Los Angeles, NY and Ebay! LOVE them....I am sketching away and already have some sets and pic's ready to be put on the site...hoping I can pull this one off Sometime in APRiL...

Cheers!

Sheila
