Model MONDAY!

HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU!
I'm getting better at posting on Monday, huh?!?!
Some of our absolute favorite pieces to make are the ones for birthdays and special celebrations.
I get a little excited when I get an email in my inbox asking to help create a custom birthday outfit. Sometimes it's just that mom has a theme/colors all picked out and she wants me to use my imagination and come up with something cute. Other times mom has it all planned out in her head and just wants to know if I can do it and find cute fabric to create her idea. Just lately, I have had a few moms email me telling me they were planning their daughters' birthdays around an outfit we already have. That's fun too!
Almost always I post the newest birthday creation on my website so that others can see the possibilities, or perhaps purchase it as is. This is one custom birthday dress that we sell a ton of!

And that little cutie is miss Hannah. She turned the big 1 a few months ago and her mom sent the sweetest email to me after receiving her SheShe Made dress.
"Hi Ashley. I just received Hannah's first year jumper. You did a FABULOUS job! Thank you so much. I have passed your name on to a few friends. I don't do that very often. Once again, thank you SO much!" -Cindy
There is nothing more rewarding to this job than the sweet emails from happy customers. NOTHING!
Thanks again, Cindy, for sharing your adorable little Hannah with us, and for your kind email. Also, it was a pleasure to meet you and both of your adorable girls the other day! I always enjoy meeting customers in real life!!

We are off to swim lessons round two. The swim instructor suggested that I bring Ava back and put her in the 3-4 yr class. I am a little nervous that my 2 yr old will be unruly and stand out among the 3-4 yr olds. I mean, I cannot see her sitting still on the ledge and listening to directions. AT ALL!!!! I'll let ya know!

Happy Daddy's Day

Happy Father's Day

to a man among men


and a dad among fathers.



We both love you to the moon and back

and we thank you for your love, protection, guidance, and selflessness you show each and every day.

You are the greatest husband and daddy we could ever ask for.

10 year Reunion and Father's Day Prep

So, my reunion was fun! I was so anxious about going because I hadn't seen ANYBODY (well, with the exception of 2 people) since high school. Tell ya anything??
Here is a confusing math problem for you...
I was very close with about 10 people in high school. We did EVERYTHING together. All but 3 of those 10 people were in different grades than me. And out of those 3 that were in my grade, 2 were boys. Boys don't come to reunions as much as chicks it appears. Anyway, so I went with the remaining 1 that was in my circle of friends.
Here is Mindy and I at the reunion.

Mindy stayed in touch with the group of girls that I occasionally hung out with "back in tha day" in our grade. We met up with them beforehand, got ready in a hotel together, and ended up having tons of fun the entire night! It was so good to see everyone, although there were a handful of people that I really wanted to see. And yup, they didn't come :(. It was good to catch up and we agreed we need to have yearly reunions! So fun!!


We have this new pottery painting place in our town that I have been wanting to check out so bad. So, in preparation for Father's Day, we decided it was a perfect time to check it out! We needed to make daddy a gift from Ava.

One of my very best friends, Amy, and her 2 month old baby girl, Avery. Aren't they both beautiful?


Sweet Beckham waiting patiently to paint.

Because, in case you didn't notice in the first picture, my sweet Ava was standing in the chair, and would not sit still for more than about 10 seconds. And the place only had one high chair.
At what age do they sit still for more than 10 seconds?????
Anyway...back on topic.
Play by play of the hand painting.





We're also getting daddy a new grill since the one we have catches fire. Not exactly a good thing.
Wait, I guess it is a good thing for grills to catch fire.
But its not a good thing for grills to shoot high flames upon ignition.
My guess is that it's a simple problem that could be fixed. But neither of us are what you'd call the handy type.
But I will save all that for another post.

Off to get ready for another fun day. We're having a few friends over to make little dirt cakes for the kids and then I'll be knocking out more orders during nap time!
It's been a productive week.

Model MONDAY!

Dropping in super super quick to post this beautiful SheShe Made birthday girl.

This is Abby and we made her shabby chic zebra applique shirt, bow, and flip flops to match her birthday colors/theme.

Don't you just love these colors together? I can't wait to do a birthday or shower in these colors myself!


Abby is such a beautiful girl! Thanks, Katie, for sharing her pics with us.
And email me at sheshebows@yahoo.com if you'd like something similar to this set.

Where did we go???

Here are just a few of the reasons I have been a bad blogger lately...


























We are almost sold out of the June special spaghetti strap dress! Only 2 more sizes of 2 left, and 4 more of the size 4 left.

Also, I am thinking about taking a break for the month of July. I hope Sheila is in on this plan, as I have yet to talk it over with her. But I have a feeling she will be, as she is a mom to FIVE kids and it's summer vacation and I can just imagine her house and family need her a tad more than usual. Ha! Family comes first and this is why we chose this journey to endeavor, and although the site will remain open, we will close down etsy and not take any custom orders during the month. So, if you are looking for a custom made birthday outfit, and need it during July or beginning of August, I'd get your order in soon.
At the moment, our turnaround time has gone from 1-2 weeks to 3-4 weeks. We are so beyond blessed for the business and hope our customers understand that production time is just a taking a little longer than it used to.
We have both worked super hard this week, in between taking our babies to swim lessons. Pictures of that to come soon.
Until then, I have a 10 year reunion tomorrow night that I have to go prepare for. Eeeek! Reunions stress me out because in my mind I feel like people only go to these things to see who got fat and ugly. I mean, come on? Am I wrong? At least I am only about 10 pounds heavier than high school.

Surely my tan will hide those 10 pounds.
After all, my motto in life is "If you can't lose it, tan it."

I got my first spray tan, and I am still trying to decide if I look sunkissed or Jackolantern ambushed. It's a toss up. I'll let you all decide...

I woke Aaron up from a nap to take this picture and it is such a bad angle and I look 5 months pregnant but oh well. I didn't want to make him take another since he was sleeping, afterall. He barely even got my legs to give you the full picture.

Hope you are doing well! Enjoy your weekend and yes, I will be adding all of these pictured items to the website SOON SOON SOON!

Model MONDAY!

This week's model for Model Monday is little miss Savannah.
Her mom found me and emailed, asking if I could make these two dresses as she knew nobody in her area that could make dresses for little girls. She wanted the pillowcase style, so that's what we whipped up for her.

Isn't this sweet of her sleeping beauty?? Love it!


We will be adding this minky dress to our fall collection soon!

Dog days of summer

The dog days of summer seem to be already approaching...

Temps are in the 100's this week in north Texas!
That is so not cool.

Haha! Sometimes I just crack myself up.
Not really. I'm just a big nerd is all.

Is it already blazing hot where you live as well?

Model MONDAY! (except on Tuesday)

Maybe I should just change the posts to Model Tuesday???? Ha!
Next week I will be on track. No promises, however!

Have you seen the initial butt onesies on our website? Did you notice quite a few of them say Ella? Well here is Ella modeling some of the many initial butt onesies I made for her!



This was baby Ella at 2 weeks, and her mom ordered all of the "Ella" initial butt onesies to match some babylegs she had made.

SHE IS SO SWEET AND TINY, isn't she??

Ella's mom recently contacted me to make Ella a onesie for her 3 month pictures and this is what it looked like...

well, actually, it didn't look like that at all. Ha! She had me add a ribbon band to the middle of it, and I wanted to take a picture of it like that so that I could sell them as such, offering many different color combos.
I think this is a great addition that will be a big hit for those monthly pictures. And it will be priced at a reasonable price too!
In fact, I will be adding this little Monthiversary onesie over on the website TODAY. So, check it out, and if you know anybody expecting, or with a newborn...be sure to send them our way!
