Pretty in Pink

Many people work hard these days.  I know I work hard.  I also know I should learn to play hard(er) ... but when you love what you do, it's often difficult to find a distinctive line between the two.

I was sorting through the numerous pictures I've taken over the last few months and came upon this group which, in my opinion, give a little bit of insight into the work I put into each and every piece at Children's Couture.  The dress is one of my best-sellers, Breakfast with Tiffany, well-accessorized with my Cheshire Hat, another popular item from my Accessories Collection.  

And please note: I often use a mannequin for "viewing" the proportion and
drape/hang of a garment.  This mannequin, which some mistake for an actual child, is shown in the following pictures ... with pencil marks around her neck and arms (which are not "on" at the moment).  Please understand that I do not draw on real children.
