Pirates & Mermaids

Filed under: Out & About — liliputi @ 10:03 pm

We had a great Halloween, us mermaid princesses and pirates, and hope you did too!

The American Museum of Natural History’s big Halloween bash was even more fun than last years.  But I think that has to do more with my little trick-or-treater being older and more fully appreciating the spectacle that Halloween is.  Costumes?  Nah, it’s all about the candy!

Happy Halloween From My Cherry Tomato!

Filed under: Daily News, Out & About — liliputi @ 12:47 pm

Liliputians model Lily wishes everyone a Happy Halloween! My little cherry tomato graced the October issue of PARENTING magazine with some other deliciously cute veggies.

Although the cherry tomato was a great costume idea, she has requested to be a Mermaid Princess for Halloween (I’ll be the accompanying pirate – aargh!). So I designed and made her a great costume fit for, well, a princess. The costume was so much fun to make (photos to soon follow) that liliputians will be offering a few costumes next Halloween (in addition to our Halloween shirts & outfits) and will also welcome orders for custom costumes.

What are bright colors, kitschy Americana and the Wild West all rolled into one? Why it’s the newest liliputians outfits, perfect for your little Cowgirl or Indian.

Perfect for sister sets, the pants set or skirt set can be mixed and matched or also available as separates. Either outfit consists of a light blue shirt (other colors also available) that is appliqued with your choice of a Cowgirl (complete with lasso and calf) or an Indian Maiden on horseback. Then it’s up to you to choose from an appliqued cow print skirt or fun cow print pants to finish the ensemble. Cowboy boots and hats are optional. ;-)

A New Frida Kahlo Inspired Shirt

Filed under: History lesson, New Designs — liliputi @ 9:01 am

Frida Kahlo is a source of inspiration for me, both her vibrantly-hued, emotionally-charged Surrealist paintings (55 of which were self portraits) as well as her ability to overcome such extreme obstacles throughout her lifetime. So it is only fitting that there are several liliputians designs directly inspired by this famous painter.

Our newest shirt design is an homage to Frida, with a multi-layered and detailed applique depicting her self portrait in traditional Mexican dress with pet monkey, a heart milagro and tropical flowers (including a ribbon rose accent in her hair which gives the applique a 3-dimensional aspect). The shirt is available in girls and women sizes and can be made on a variety of shirt colors (white, black, chocolate brown, pink, light blue or lavender).  Many more Frida inspired designs in the liliputians boutique.

WAHM Spotlight is a unique web site and resource that I’ve mentioned before on the liliputians blog. It focuses, obviously, on work-at-home moms. In addition to interviews with mompreneurs, the site also has some great how-to articles for those that are thinking of starting a business venture and tips to help improve and streamline things for businesses already underway.
