my friends baby turned two today
ruby is very much a girly girl and loves to dress up
so i made her a skirt and bag to match.

it was so much fun
i forgot how much i love to sew for babies
and now i want to make a hundred more!

happy birthday dear ruby.

    Looking at those first images of skirt & bag, I was sort of hoping it was part of a new line of clothes you're designing for grown-ups. But then Ruby's smile (and the gorgeous birthday setting for her party) made me understand.

    Love everything you do!

    Gorgeous photos and sewing - but I have to admit to my eye being especially drawn to that cake - WAS THAT A CAKE??? CAN IT BE SENT THROUGH THE POST? Who made that? Good grief. That is some cake.

    Lori - once again your endless creative talents shine through - in the delicious outfit and also in the photo you snapped of Ruby. What an inviting setting for a birthday celebration. Lovely! Thanks for sharing Lori.

    Oh, this is so sweet! I love that she had her party outside. I love her cake. I love her sweet little face. But Lori, that skirt and the little purse? SO ADORABLE! I miss having a little one in my life. It brought back some lovely memories of my girls and dress-up (scarves, necklaces, tiaras!). xoxo Pam

    What a lovely birthday party, the photo of the couch by the water is to die for and the cake, it looks like layers of ribbons. It must have been a wonderful time.

    Lori , your photos have taken a large leap in every way, (I may have said so before) Now I feel as if I am looking at high quality magazine worthy shots. The bag, skirt are so dear and yes lets just talk about that cake.
    Strawberry? pass the milk, please.

    gasp! This is right out of a magazine. Martha Stewart's baby..or something like that only BETTER! And that little cherubic face. So dear.

    I love your gift to her. I agree that there is no end to your talents, and I know there is no limits on your kindness and generosity ;)♥

    Hi Lorie - It's nice to catch up on your blog! Your photos and posts almost feel like an indulgence, they are such a pleasure! I noticed that a few posts back you had a link to Nahcotta Gallery's Enormous Tiny Art show. That gallery is located in Portsmouth, NH, about 1 hour from where I live! It's one of my favorite places to visit!
    Love the little skirt and bag as well as your shawl (last post)! Beautiful!!

    I just found your blog. It's lovely! You make me want to move to the country and if I show your pictures to my husband, he'll book the tickets right away. A life of beauty! I'll be checking in frequently.

    Such a package of gorgeous sweetness - I think we'd all like to be two again. You should make some more of those little skirts and purses for your on line store Lori. Smiles to you*!*

    Lori!!!! (does a little dance) I hope your quick getaway was beautiful and inspiring. I've been away from here for too long but its good to be back having a look around. Now.... I just wanted to say that I love the idea (up above) of not having a label. I have a friend who hates labels in clothes and rips them out at the first opportunity- so this would be a wonderful compromise.

    Oooh I wonder if the moon was as huge out there camping as it was here?

    P.s if a littleseedit wanted to email you? xxx
