Well I'm trying to stay on top if it anyway! I made a top instead. So much to do! The first 60 pages of my
book (that's only 1/4 of it people) is due on Tuesday. On Wednesday I leave for
Quilt Market where I will spend 5 days talking about
Chocolate Lollipop and doing other shameless self promotional type things. There are hoops, hurdles, and all sorts of other tricks to be jumped through, jumped over, and danced upon before I can have a rest. I am resting my eyes a bit right now on this little creation. Well both of these little creations actually. The studio has been a-whirl with sample making and photo taking for next week and I am so lucky to have a resident model who keeps my spirits up when I am waaaaayyy low on sleep. Anyway, most of you guys won't be at market so I thought I would sneak you a peek of some promotional images.

She looked so grown up and serious in that pic above that I had to include the real her below. How about the antebellum stone columns? They flank the driveway of our across-the-street neighbors who live in a house built in the 1800's. I should go on a photo tour over there sometime, its gorgeous. Their house is called "Dixie Land". Can you imagine your house having a name? Cool.

Okidoki. Time to pretend like I'm sleeping while I think of things I have to do once I'm pretending to be awake.
I'm such a faker.
nite, AM
ohhhh me goodness, Anna...........that top is to die for! Well.........almost! Gotta getta soma thata fabrico ASAP! Move over, Anthropologie & Chan Luu ..........here comes Anna Maria!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful top! Did you just have elastic going through that middle fabric piece? (When I say "just", I say that knowing how much work went into planning and making it!) Too good.
ReplyDeleteI loved that first shot til I scrolled down and saw her jumping...what great energy you captured. Of course she's jumping with joy because of the lovely top she's wearing! Can't wait to see what other yummy ideas will be in your book :)
ReplyDeletethis leaping photograph is very nice!
ReplyDeleteit gives smile!!
( sorry for my english !)
:D
Love the top, love the fabric, love the jumping shot. You have to tell us all how you made it! All the very best of luck for Quilt Market. You'll knock their socks off!
ReplyDeleteI wanna be a "mouse in the corner" at quilt market.
ReplyDeleteYes, the top is beautiful. I want one too, big surprise. But more remarkable is how beautiful Julianna is -- all the things you (and hubby) make are so.
ReplyDeleteYou know how I feel about Shameless Self Promotion - you go girl!
so vibrant, i love the pictures. and i would LOVE to go to quilt market. perhaps you can bring back pictures to share!
ReplyDeletethe top is fabulous and your girl - too cute!
ReplyDeleteWe're all cheering for you Anna Maria! Best of luck at Market. (And try to get some rest!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful top! I don't know how you are managing to get it all done, you are an inspiration to us all!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the picture, I thought, "Oh, she must have hired some models and a photographer for a shoot!" That's your daughter? And your handiwork? (Both!) What a great top and a beautiful child!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the top. Oh my gosh, how I love that top. And your daughter is absolutely beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe top looks gorgeous. And your daughter looks beautiful. The first photo looks like from a clothing catalog and the jumping one just makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Love the jumping photo. My house is called the Rabbit House. You should give your house a name.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can say who your publisher is yet... but will we be able to pre-order your book?
ReplyDeleteJulianna is beautiful in your photos! She could easily do modeling if she wanted to! (Local dept. stores use local models for their ads... at least they used to when I was in advertising). Have fun at the Quilt Market--just show them your stuff...you won't need to say much more...it's beautiful!!!
Love it all! So cute. I like jumping girl best... she looks like a really cute kid.
ReplyDeleteMy house is named "Starlight Gardens" truly it on the door. :)
Anna, I have three words to say--
ReplyDeleteYOU
GO
Girl!!!
Cant wait to hear all about it when you get back :o)
Is the stripey fabric your design too?
Love the design of the shirt/dress.
Guess I had more than three things to say. *blush*
Lori

ReplyDeleteGreat top. Your children are all just beautiful...you are truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the show - your designs are going to be a big hit! L-U-V that top!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What excitement! Juliana is sooo beautiful. The top is gorgeous. I wish I wa the size that would look good in a top like that!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful- the top and your daughter. Really just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI found this blog through a flickr group and It's such an inspiration to me. I just started sewing again after 10 years and I love seeing all the things you make. I just bought your whole line of chocolate lollipop online. I can't wait to get it in the mail they are all so beautiful.
ReplyDelete:o)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful -- the top, the pictures and the model! You're going to wow 'em at the quilt market!
ReplyDeleteLovely top - have a great time at Market. I can't make it over this time due to a huge family reunion on at the same time. I will have to wait until Houston to meet you. Have fun!
