I still make pretty things.
I have been working on reconstructing vintage clothing like skirts, pants , dresses and making them into cute mini skirts, fun skorts and summer dresses!
My creativity had a block for a little because i have been sooo incredibly busy but i took the time this week and i hope you like the first mini skirts and skort i made today.
More coming soon!!
Bow mini skirt
Former grandma-skirt turned into mini fun skirt!
flowery summer skorts!
What do you think? see , i used to always avoid altering things because i thought
i was never going to be good at it...but this is a good start no? i proved myself wrong!
I will be posting some of this new items for sale at the store so stay tuned :)

a collector in disguise.
I am now taking a break from actual work environment to my old room in north Mexico where all my dreams began and as i sit here looking at all the stuff that i managed to gather in this one room that talks about my childhood and teen life i can't help to submerge in my imagination.
I found my old collection of frogs, which i had forgotten about. I had a very particular fixation for frogs, all kinds, so everywhere i would travel to i would buy a frog! My collection began to grow and then out of no where i stopped collecting them and completely forgot about them. Having thought about that event in detailed i realized why i stopped collecting them...it was one of my mom's friends that one day our of her good heart gave me an assortment of about 10-20 frogs in all sizes and shapes funny faces and whatnot. After that day i stopped collecting. There were just too many that i had not handpicked myself, the emotion was gone.
Now that i am older and i am able to analyze that event which lead me to think..how SAD! i wish i collected something again. Then i thought wait, i am still a collector. I just now have transitioned to pretty things. all kinds. I collect beautiful vintage pieces, i collect clothes. There are clothes that i love so dearly i am happier having in a mannequin at home just to stare at. Half of the things i collect i share and that is why the tulle room exists! I share what i handpick and love from my favorite thrift shops across the US and Mexico.
I am lucky to have evolved this sense of collecting even if it went from frogs to princesses, after all that's how the story goes. I realized all this time i have been a collector in disguise.
The following video is just one of my favorite inspiration videos, childhood influences all of us that is why some of us never grow up. We just rearrange our ideas to make them work in the adult world
