dapper doxie duds: the butterfly effect











too small to fit me,
these duds i cannot model.
i wait by the door.


- baxter, 3.75 years old, patiently waiting to join his mom on the deck after she finishes taking pictures of butterfly duds.









So tiny chumley did wait very patiently while I took pictures of the latest butterduds to come out of kalyxcraftopia - a pair of happy butterfly duds for Daisy's smaller sisters Harley and Heidi, finished in time for them all to go trick or treating as a trio of little butterflies.

Harley's dud, a pinky mauve batik bound in plaid and embellished with jacquard and velvet ribbon, removable freswater pearl buttons, and a sparkly sequin set of thready gossamer butterfly wings, cuz this little girls gotta have some bling to match her spunk.


And Heidi's dud, a bright retro mod print bound in solid purple, emellished with hand pleated grosgrain ribbon and glass bead detail, and color shifting two tone thready butterfly wings, for the coy little girl who won't be a wallflower when she wears this cherry piece of work.



Phew! A lot of work but a lot of creative fun! Happy Halloweener, little butterfly sisters, your package is on its way!! :)

(yeah I know, I shouldn't be tempting considering we are trying to stay a one doggie household ourselves!)

Gasp! She looks like a sweetheart! Unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna be ready for another puppy anytime soon :-( We are hoping for a human brother or sister for Kona sooner than later. But we'll definitely go the rescue way if we decide to add another furry friend to our household :-)

Annie wore her butterfly wings around the block yesterday to make sure she would be comfy for a long period of time on Halloween- they didn't "spook" her at all! The little neighborhood girls had fits, I'm gonna have a lot of trick or treaters now.........and they haven't seen the Supergirl cape yet!
