Little Birds, little birds!

These are 3 new designs I've been working on featuring little birds... and although I have printed them on specific items, these motifs can be printed on kimono nightie/sleep sacs, sleepers or rompers.

The colors are 2 shades of greens for the birds, orange beaks, black eyes and a gray brown for the branches with a bricky color for the buds. The bands for all three will be in the darker green on the little birds.

I will post photos of the finished items, so this is just a sneak preview of what is coming!!

Next up is a little Sleeper or Romper featuring just little birds sitting in the branches:

January / February Family Medical Difficulties

Just wanted to take this bit of space to let you know why I haven't been blogging since the beginning of the year and why Botanical Bebe is running a bit behind.


My mother has been diagnosed with a rather rare form of stomach cancer, linitis plastica, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linitis_plastica

We have been overwhelmed with Medical tests, appointments for tests results, re-testings, daily health challenges for someone who can no longer eat solids, and a mountain of details that all need sorting.....


But now that we have answers and a leveling off of finding nutrition balances and the details are managed, I will be able to blog on a more regular basis and showcase what is going on in the Studio, as I am able to give time to it.


Thank you for your patience and all the kind and heartfelt words of encouragement and support that have been shared with both me and the rest of the family


All the very, very best to you all
Leslie
