Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for submitting your tops! The judges are right now as we speak (OK, maybe not all of them) scoring your tops.
We’ll take the Top 50 and post those next week for your votes. You may vote once each day of the week, Monday through Friday, but each batch will be voted on for ONE DAY only. The top five tops will then have a final vote the following week to determine the Reader’s Favorite.
The judges‘ scores will also be used to determine the Judges’ Favorite. Two winners!

Just have to show you these. I bought them all spur-of-the-moment one day a couple weeks ago and they arrived last week. I’m pretty geeked.
I saw these at Sarah+Abraham and after discovering that you could custom build each child (hair, eye, skin color) I had to have them. I guess I just love those little retro-cartoony faces. Almost as cute as my babies themselves. I should have put less hair on Clementine but whatevs, maybe it will grow in this summer and look just like that. Her roots are threatening to be blond though so we’ll see.
These would have made a great Mother’s Day gift but I already…
Here’s what I’ve been obsessed with lately. I had seen Zazzle over a year ago and thought I’d try it someday, but seeing Heather Ross’ awesome shoes that she posted the other day really lit a fire under my rear. Just wish I had half the design talent she has, but oh well. These are all blog header graphics or fabric designs I’ve been meaning to get digitally printed, just uploaded onto a shoe. Anyway, you can make your own too (or buy these if you want). You can even change the colors of the laces, trim, insoles…so much fun. There goes YOUR spare time (hnah-hnah!).

You might be thinking, shouldn’t she be sewing her own tops? You know, for that Spring Thing happening soon? I don’t know what happened. Somehow another one appeared. The red-striped tights needed something to go with them? It’s just so hard to selfish-sew when you have a cute little goober to churn stuff out for. And itty-bitty stuff, so it only takes ONE nap, instead of FOUR.
You might also be thinking, shouldn’t she at least strap said goober into her high chair? And you know, that’s just what responsible parents would do. We, obviously, are not those people.
Dress Details: The fabric is plain blue chambray from who-knows-where, the sort you can get…
