All in a day...

We train them early here at the Brown house. When Nikolas was about 2 years old, he used to steal spools of thread and stuff them in the back of his pick up trucks, leaving a tangled mess all over the house. These days, Sophia snags any scrap piece of fabric, ribbon or other embellishments she can get her hands on and creates her own little masterpieces. Now here's Olivia, creating fine art with my pins. She kindly asks, "How can I help you, momma?"...as she scoots her way behind my stool, steps on the stool next to me and grabs the pin cushion.





And eventually, we made these Navy Flounce Pants! We love them! Olivia had them on as pants and Sophia tried them on and they were cute as pedal pushers...hmmm...we'll have to decide before Spring is revealed!







Let us know what you think!
Now, it's time for us to take a break...

Out with the Old...

in with the NEW!! Well, not quite yet. We're still busy creating new pieces for Spring, however, these items are left in inventory and are marked on SALE!!! Everyone loves a sale, right??

Here are a few pieces...you can find the rest at www.hazelbrown.etsy.com

Itching for Spring...

Okay, so I couldn't wait...I've made all this stuff and can't show anybody!!! Except for you, who's reading this blog right now...

We are working to create the pieces to our Spring 2010 line and will be hosting a Preview Show in February. But for now...I'd like to spill a teeny tiny bit of beans...



One of our Spring pieces...modeled by my Sophie. Navy and gray cotton fabric with pops of lime green and bubble gum pink flowers! Oh...it's delicious! And what do we say about the big giant blossom on the front? All I know is I can't wait for Spring to get here!!

Stay tuned for updates on the Spring Preview. We'll be showing the Spring line and taking custom orders. We're also planning on some shows for the warmer months, so we'll post them here as we confirm the dates.

Back to sewing!...

Welcome, 2010!!...

Whew...I hate to sound like a scrooge but I'm actually glad that the Holidays have passed. It sneaks up on me every year but I think it did especially because I had the baby just a few weeks before. Oh well, the kids made out like bandits...5 garbage bags of toys came home with us from our Christmas Eve celebration at Lolo and Lola's (my parents). That doesn't include the gifts that were at home under our tree. Totalling 3 1/2 garbage bags that I snuck into the baby's closet for future "treats". They don't even know they're missing.

Here's a quick shot of the aftermath...



So....BIG HUGS to welcome 2010! I feel refreshed! Both at home (now that our tree is down and kids are back to school) and with HB. New, fresh, fabrics and adorable new styles! We're busily working to create inventory for Spring and it should be available *fingers crossed* by early to mid February.

We are also working on pinning down some events for the year. We'll keep you posted on this blog as we get some dates finalized.

AND...with that said...we are hosting home parties!! Treats for the Hostess with the Mostest when you book a party!! It's fun, laid back and you'll enjoy specials that we don't offer online!
