Philadelphia Inquirer Visit

I was interview about CPSIA by the Philadelphia Inquirer Dawn Fallik, the article came out in today’s Magazine Section front page. Pictures of My daughter and I take by Inquirer Photographer April Saul.

I was very happy that the paper want to show the point of the handmade community and I was pleased that the more people will know about the issue.

Handmade Kids Challenge: Expert Panel Award Winner BabyPop

So I wake up last week and Google advise me that there is a post on the web about BabyPop I look at the the link and I won the Judges Award for Clothing in the Etsy Hand Made Kids Contest.

The dress that one is pictured above This is My House, My Car, My Tree Girls Dress

This is what Category Judge: Kelly Alfieri of Cookiemag.com wrote about my dress:
“This dress looks like a vintage one from a time when people had more time. The appliqué work, with the white stitching on dark denim that looks like chalk on a chalkboard, is gorgeous. I think this would be any little girl's favorite dress.”

So I was on cloud nine, it was really great to be recognized by such a great editor of a prestigious children's magazine. I can't wait to design more kids clothes..the scketch book and fabric bins are filling up with idea ....now if I can find the time!
