Getting back in the saddle.....

....okay, it has been way too long since we have updated the website and the blog....sorry! I am now almost 26 weeks preggers with our third little girl and have really enjoyed spending some extra time with my girls knowing that time would be limited in the near future. We spent the Summer, Fall and Holidays doing all kind of fun stuff together.

We have kept busy filling deliciousDESIGNS orders as they came in but did nothing in terms of marketing, trade shows, home shows or new items. I REALLY miss it! So, we are back in the studio and back to the drawing board. I am thinking some new itty bitty baby items would be a good idea. More to come :-)

Two siestaKEY dresses ready to ship!

Elle is ready for her birthday party in her sister's size three siestaKEY....she wanted to wear it a bit shorter with leggings ~ she usually wears a 5 or 6. The great thing about this dress is that it ties across the back and behind the next so it can fit for several years with just the length changing. This is not on the website as of yet so if you are interested, send us a message through the 'contactUS' page.

We have a size 2 and a size 5 available to ship immediately ~ all other sizes can be made! These dresses are all hand made by professional seamstresses and are all made in the U.S. !

Under constuction!

We are busy rebuilding....new designs, new look, photo shoots, new ideas, new team members.....blah blah blah!!! We are still taking orders but are taking a little time to rebuild deliciousDESIGNS. We will keep you posted on the progress and what is coming in time for Fall!

Perfect Birthday Design!!

Life is short ~ wear your tutu!

If you are looking for something fabulous for your little fashionista's upcoming birthday, this is it! You can customize with any birthday number and make the tutu as long or short as you wish. We are running a special on the set - regularly $58 and for the rest of June, you can order the set for $46!!

Okay so I did not figure out how to keep up with blogging while we were slammed with May orders ~ it is June and we are ready for the next hit :-) We have several items ready to go on sale ~ keep your eyes open. We do have a couple of the montegoBAY dresses available to ship immediately as well as several hair accessories.....please let us know if you would like us to get something shipped!

Mothering Magazine - Babywearing is Safe!

Please take a look at the below and keep wearing your babies close - just be sure you are using a safe sling and wearing it correctly. This is a response to CPSC Sling Warning - one of my favorite parenting magazines - they are fabulous!


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mothering Responds to CPSC Sling Warning: Babywearing Is Safe


PRESS CONTACT: Elizabeth Carovillano 505.984.6289 | Office 505.690.0040 | Cell elizabethc@mothering.com | E-mail


SANTA FE, NM (March 18, 2010) — On March 12, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), a Federal Agency, issued a warning in regard to the use of baby slings. The CPSC asserts that there is a risk of slings suffocating infants who are younger than four months old, and that caution should be used when carrying babies of this age group in slings.

Mothering puts the CPSC warning in perspective: Babywearing is safe, but some slings and positions are not. While baby carriers are as old as civilization, modern babywearing has exploded in the last four years. Along with this rapid increase in use has come the creation of some unsafe carriers, in particular bag-style slings that have a deep pouch, excessive fabric, and an elasticized edge. These deep, bag-style slings can be especially dangerous for premature or small babies.

Some general guidelines for safe babywearing:

1. Only choose a sling that allows you to see your baby’s face.


2. Be sure baby is not curled up tightly, chin to chest. This position can restrict breathing, especially in newborns or in infants who cannot yet hold up their heads.


3. Make sure that the sling fabric is “breathable,” and keep baby’s face clear of fabric.


4. Do not press baby’s face tightly against the sling wearer’s body.


5. Position the baby’s face upward.


6. Reposition baby if there are any signs of respiratory difficulty: rapid or labored breathing, grunting or sighing with every breath, restlessness.
