New Year? Resolutions?

I like the idea of New Year's resolutions but I rarely do it. But it's nice every year to freshen up, recharge, and get the year started right even if you don't have any major goals. I did, however, proposition to my hub something to "try-out" for the month of January...no eating out. Here we are at day 11 still going strong, but it has been pretty tough. Since we work from home together, going out for a bite to eat is such a great break in our day. I'll report back at the end of the month to let you know how it went!

Here are my loves testing out a portable high chair..you know, for when we start to eat out again :)

Silk Solids!

Get excited! Coming in 2013, I'll be offering solid silk fabics in addition to the pattern fabrics for my bridesmaid and garden party dresses. More to come in just a few weeks! Feel free to contact me if you are interested in pre-ordering!

Happy Holidays!

What a year this has been! It was so difficult at times yet filled with the most remarkable blessings I could imagine. As I type this, I have a little baby sleeping on my lap and even though I'm not sure as to what the next year will bring, I trust that it will be full of laughter and happiness with this little one! I wish you all a wonderful holiday and I'll see you on the other side! 

Here is Glory Maeve all dressed up to visit with Santa for the first time. Gold shoes are essential.

Oh, Darling! Lovelies

Amidst sewing away on dresses and a late summer maternity leave, I was able to continue photographing weddings with my hub this year. He deserves so much praise for going above and beyond where I wasn't able to and for picking up my slack when I needed to rest my feet..or eat :) Somehow every year we have these amazing couples reach out to us to photograph their wedding -- people who care more about a genuine, love-filled union than an elaborate affair. Which, to us, is exactly how it should be. 

Here are a few of our effortlessly beautiful brides from 2012...of course you can see more of our work from this year on our Oh, Darling! blog.

Real Wedding!

I turn in to a little giddy girl when I receive photos from real weddings where my dresses were used! Especially when the wedding was as darling as this one. The bride, Sonya, chose a variety of my dresses in Poppy fabric for her maids and accessorized with a gold belt..love it! See more of Sonya and Brad's wedding here. Photos by Jess Jackson.

Teal Ballet Flats

Loving these handmade, upcycled soft suede ballet flats! Not to mention, the perfect shade of teal. Made in Berlin by The White Ribbon.

Instagram Goodness

Life lately, according to instagram. Lots of sewing and baby going on right now...

Family Love

Happy three months to this little one :)
