Two Perfect Babies

Twins! I had the honour of making items for a set of twins that Wendy O'Rourke (http://wendyorourkephotography.webs.com) photographed. Look at these shots, I am speechless - these little ones are extremely precious and don't even need further explanation. Just Enjoy!

Look at those perfect little faces! Such beauties. 

And the cocoon - absolutely beautiful!

Thanks Wendy! - and if anyone is interested in purchase hats, cocoons.. etc. please contact me at lesleydesigns@hotmail.com. You can see some of my items are our website lbfdesigns.weebly.com (please have patience we have SO much more to load and edit - but its a start! :)) 

Pretty in Pink

Take a peek at this adorable coordinating set (which is available in any colour combination). Stephanie (stephsphotography.ca) was so generous and took a picture of this set on her beautiful brand new daughter. I just love everything about this set!! The details of the stripes, the adorable wooden buttons, and the variety of stitching used for a gorgeous look. Not to mention the ADORABLE little baby who is showing my work off! :)

Contact me if you'd like to purchase.

Special thank you to Stephanie from Stephsphotography.ca.

Its been a while since the last post (sorry!) - I have been busy, working away, enjoying the sun and the best part - coming up with NEW designs! I have a few local photographers in the process of getting me some pictures of these new items. You will love them! Unique little hats and the cutest little diaper covers possible. 


I have a little 'niece'  (you know the one who I like to think is family, but technically isn't - she appeared in some of my first photos). Anyways, she is now almost 5 months old! I am coming up with a whole bunch of new ideas and she is the perfect little model (in mine, and mommy's eyes). If you are a photographer, looking to get some more experience, please let us know! We are looking for a photographer who is interested in spending a couple ours with my props and my model. You will get some pictures for your portfolio, and we would get some shots for my portfolio. Please let me know if you are interested!


Anyways, here are the latest images we have received from some amazing ladies! 


The First --- our new photographer friend, A. Joosse Photography. These pictures show off one of my latest creations. The diaper cover and adorable teddy bear hat to match. The flower is on a detachable clip - so its suitable for boy models too! Enjoy!

I truly appreciate all of the photographers who support my business and take the time to send me images.  Thank you to all! 

Some more fun pictures from Tricia!

Have we mentioned before how much we LOVE working with Tricia? She is such an amazing person and photographer. She has sent us some pics of a wee adorable little baby in the cocoon and curly-q hat! So adorable.

Hope you all enjoy them as much as we have!

 

Craft Show! Sunday, May 2nd

We're knitting up a storm to prepare for this weekend craft show at the Edelweiss. Doors open at 11am and it is free admission. Hope to see you there!

Wanted: Photographers to test some product...

As I create more and more designs I am constantly looking for photographers to play with my props. Over the next few months, I am going to be posting an item and looking for a photographer who would like to play with it, in exchange for a professional picture that can be added to my portfolio. You get the use of props... and I get some pictures for my use! Sounds like a great deal to me! :)


If you are interested (or know of anyone who is - email lesleydesigns@hotmail.com).


Michlynn Schweitzer (Michlynn Schweitzer Photography - www.michlynnschweitzer.com) has provided us with these awesome shots! Take a peek at these cutie pies.

PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES! I am SO excited to be able to show off and share some creations. We had an amazing photoshoot with Tricia (we love her!). Join our facebook group and snoop around!

Latest Goods...

IM AN AUNT! - well an adoptive aunt! My very good friend recently had an adorable baby girl and of course we took advantage and setup a photo shoot with Tricia (Tricia Marie Photography) to show off some of my latest designs (and as an excuse to play dress up). I am proud to show off all my new stuff (especially the latest sling - check out pictures below). If you want information on prices, please email lesleydesigns@hotmail.com and don't forget to mention what types of items you are looking for! Enjoy this little gem!

 

 

The newest addition - The Cocoon!

I have finally been able to take the time to develop a cocoon pattern  (and I have been SO excited to show it off). Tricia from Tricia Marie Photography (contact information below) provided me with these gorgeous photos from a recent photo session using the cocoon (and a couple hats). Take a look below -- too cute!

Busy Busy Busy!

I have been SO busy the past few weeks finishing up some projects, and designing and completing new hats!! As some of you know I was in Mexico on vacation. It was a wonderful refresher and inspired me to complete a whole bunch of little tiny hats! Here is a sneak preview.

Please remember that all hats can be made in a variety of colours and combinations. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for - send me an email at lesleydesigns@hotmail.com and I can custom create an item for you.

Just before the holidays I had rented tables at local craft shows to get the word out and display my work.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Stephanie from Stephs Photography (www.stephsphotography.ca) at one of those shows.

She had purchased a couple of my hats to use for newborn photography shoots and has been extremely kind in letting us post some of her work!  Aren't they absolutely adorable?!

To contact Stephanie for photo shoots please visit her website at stephsphotography.ca.
