melroseAVE.....fabric change!

melroseAVE has been unbelievably popular this summer and has 'sold out' in the current fabric selection. We just received the new version earlier this week and it was part of the photo shoot yesterday. We will have the new and improved melroseAVE available online very soon! The product picture on mydeliciousdesigns.com does not do it justice...here is a random pic until the new ones are released.......

We did it!!!

The photo shoot at hether miles photography today was fantastic! We were able to showcase 12 of the girlWEAR designs and hopefully next time we can get some of the boyWEAR in there too. We had five gorgeous models and they all did such a great job. I should have the pictures in about two weeks and I will work day and night to get the website updated.

In the meantime, I thought I would share a photo shoot with Jenn Foley a.k.a 'The Watson's Girl".....she had both her gorgeous girls in deliciousDESIGNS in the June issue of Indianapolis Monthly.

dD photo shoot anxiety....

Wish us luck! Tomorrow is the big day and there is a little anxiety around making sure all goes as planned. Along with the anxiety comes great excitement....I can not wait to release both new and old designs with beautiful little kids in them. I have been told a million times how people can not believe how cute the designs are on children vs. a hanger.....can't wait for your feedback. I will keep you all posted on how tomorrow goes.

theMARMONT

I have been frantically getting ready for the big dD photo shoot with my favorite photographer ~ hether miles ~ and thought I would post a pic of my littlest one in theMARMONT pants at a birthday party over the weekend. This will have to do until I can get the professional shots posted. This pic was taken after she had fun playing in the rain and soon to follow....MUD!

Keep checking the dD site the first week of August as you will start to see all kinds of new products and changes to the look and feel......exciting stuff!

Fun at 'the creamery'....

Here is a picture of my girls with their friends at the creamery. My oldest is wearing 'farmersMARKET' and my little one is wearing an off version of 'melroseAVE' for those of you that follow dD design names. We had a total of six girls ranging in age from two to seven....what a great group of girls. If they only knew how lucky they were to spend their days with their mommies and their friends doing fun stuff like this. Hope you all had a great summer day.....I am off to work on my upcoming deliciousDESIGNS photo shoot. Can't wait to show you all the new fall and winter designs!!!

Exciting things happening at dD!

I can not believe it is July and I am just now blogging again....it has been over eight weeks! While it may appear as though nothing has been going on, it has been quite the opposite. I have been so focused on Fall and Winter designs ~ can not wait to release pics to all of you ~ they are over the top fun!!! Anyway, in addition to focusing on the seasons that are oh so around the corner (hard to believe I know), I have assumed all of dD. My partner Sarah has decided to focus on family fun right now as well as other exciting things that are going on in her life. With that said, I am missing her in more ways than one......she did so much for dD and I am wrapping my arms around it all right now.
Keep your eyes open for all kinds of activity from this point forward. I will do a much better job blogging to keep you up on all that is going on.

Stay tuned............

Michelle's First Post!

My first post! I feel all grown up now ~ my partner, Sarah, tends to be the creative ‘blog poster’ while I seem to never find time or a topic that I think anyone would care about.

As I read other blogs, I find that I am interested in reading those that provide me a sense of a greater group of those living the same wonderful chaos of motherhood. I enjoy hearing the successes and challenges other mom’s face. I enjoy those blogs that remind me that although being a mother is absolutely the most wonderful thing that has happened to many of us, it should not completely define us ~ we are still women!

With that said, I thought I would share two books that I have read recently that I really enjoyed and they focus on both of those roles ~ mother and woman.

The first is ‘The Middle Place’ by Kelly Corrigan. I could not put this book down! It speaks of the ‘middle place’ within us that is a mother of a child yet a child of a parent and so much more. Every woman should read it!
Check out Kelly’s speech , Transcending: Words on Women and Strength ~ very powerful!

The second book is ‘The Successful Child’ by William Sears, M.D., and Martha Sears, R.N. ~ my favorite parenting experts. They believe a successful child is an attached child – not just to family but to the world beyond. They offer practical information and examples you can use to foster a healthy connection. This book is fantastic ~ love, love, love it! Did I say I love it? I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
