So what is it you do, exactly?

On Friday, popcorn meals and random Target shopping. This weekend-- totally not random fabric perusal. Cause when I'm not taking care of my little ones, I'm a designer. It still feels really weird to say that, but it's true. I work way too much to pretend it's not. Here are a few peeks into last season's line (all via my girl Cophia Lee, of course!)
Things got crazy for a while there. I've since read a lot of well-thought-out business plans, where people prepared for years before launching their company, had every last little detail thought out, every move planned. That's not exactly how things happened here.But there's nothing like learning on your feet, right? So in a little more than six months I have two collections and more than 40 pieces under my belt. Our trunk shows were a big hit last season, and I can't wait for the next go-round of those. Our website continues to give me headaches, and a new and improved version is on the way. And Hoot Baby should start appearing in stores near you in the very near future.

And that reminds me, if there's a great children's shop in your area, please let me know about it! We're not too fancy, not too frilly, but all about the highest quality construction and totally wearable design.

And now a little peek into what I've been peeking into this weekend...

Cute, Melissa! So where are the boy prints? ;) Seriously, I can't wait to see your new lines. Finn was so excited about his clothes when he was showing Daddy this afternoon. :)

Hi..I thought I posted a comment yesterday but guess it didn't go through. I live in Danville, VA about an hour from you. You should check out N'tended for Kids here. It's a children's boutique and they may be interested in your stuff:0) It's all so precious:)
