Exciting News....

Ok, so I am sharing this news with my blog followers first, mainly because I know the audience is very small and also because you all are my nearest and dearest and I know you will be supportive.  With that said, I am very excited to tell you that I, along with my dear, dear friend Ruby (Mamaw Ruby to me and my kids), have begun production on a line of children's clothing and accessories.  I have never had much time or motivation to get in touch with my creative side, but I must say that my children have really inspired me--Riley because he is so artistic and motivating and Stella because she is so much fun to put dresses on! So, we are very early in the process, but the items we've made so far are really, really adorable, if I do say so myself. Look below for some (obviously not professional) photos of just a tiny sampling.


The Jess & Ruby  line will include
  • dresses for babies,toddlers, and girls*
  • changing pads and bibs
  • pacifier holders
  • hair accessories
*We hope to include some boys clothing at some point in the future, but haven't gotten there yet

We are starting out by posting a few dresses and accessories on Etsy.  We can also do custom items at the buyer's request.  Keep an eye out for the Jess & Ruby Facebook page, which I am in the process of creating.  I will keep you up to date with our progress in future blog posts.  Please let me know if you have any questions or are interested in any items.  Thanks to everyone. Exciting times!

Good to be back

Fun with a yogurt cup--she wears it well, no?
 Haven't blogged in quite a while, for a variety of reasons.  We've all been sick, had a very busy spring break, birthday parties, school projects, etc., etc. Anyhow, it's nice to have a minute to post and think about all of the stuff I haven't gotten to share yet. Maybe I'll get around to that at some point, but for now I'll just talk about today.  Had so much fun with the kiddos at Orange Leaf today.  Stella even got a couple little bites.  We LOVE that place.  Then, a great birthday dinner at Columbias with our good friends, the Davises.  Great Saturday. Looking forward to Sunday....and hopefully another post.
