Let Rock Live Forever!

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the surprising and untimely death of Michael Jackson. Shock and sadness were felt nationwide. I wouldn't say I was a "fan" but I will tell you that this man was certainly amazing to the music world and could dance like a genius. He was probably misunderstood, he was quite eccentric and today a year later, the legendary King of Pop is gone but never forgotten. He defines the meaning of "American Icon".

I found this for those of you who may wish to make him part of your daily life:



If you have a little one who wants to rock the rockstar walls, maybe a Mommy Makeover is in order? My walls have tattoo art all over them. Having that done can be a bit pricey, timely and maybe over the budget you have in mind. Let's be honest, kids will love anything that you do! Here are some fun, easy ways to rock out your little ones walls.

The New iPhone is Out!!!

Why are we all so obsessed with the newest technology? Bigger, Better, More Functions, More Toys, and of course, More Money! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Can you believe the new iPhone is causing such a commotion? I can! I would be in line with the rest of the crazies who pre-ordered the newest baby Steve Jobs has delivered once again!

What is your weakness? Is it shoes? Is it handbags? Is it things for your kids? Is hair products? Lipstick? Sunglasses?

Good News! I did not succumb. You did not see me at the local hospital (called The Apple Store)

waiting for the delivery of the new baby iPhone G4. There may have been some crying but I assure you... it wasn't me. Right now I have bigger things in my mind. I have a secret to tell but I have to wait to tell you. It is exciting.

I shared with you the nest the other day... remember? Well the babies have been born. The mother is uber protective so I keep my distance. You may or may not be able to see from this picture but either way it is a great viewing area for all the beautiful birds and butterflies that come to this place.


What a cutie pie wearing a Cradle Will Rock Pillow Case Dress with the Skull and Roses print! Do you have a print you really like? Give me a call... I can create it for you.

Loving My Customers!

As a merchant who sells a product, I have my doors open daily and I wait for the people to come. Like Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams the saying "Build it and they will come"... I sew it and hope they love it!

I love my customers. They are so lovely, fun, crazy, energetic, gentle... I get the whole gamut. That is what makes my job fun and interesting. The personalities are so varied and interesting. Even more fun are their kids!

I make the clothing for children. Who can be more fun than a child? I love when I receive photos of your kids in my clothes! It is such a precious treat! It is why I do it. They look so cute and they inspire me. The best part is that my clothing is not mass produced. It is as custom as it gets! This is a photo I received... I was again very happy!

Or they may have seen me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lexington-KY/CRADLE-WILL-ROCK/216763549279

which means they would have either been lead to my store or to my etsy page.

Time for Summer Camp!


Summer is officially here.

For kids around the country, school is out by now. Some have even started Summer School for those schools who are offering it! I hear many schools just don't have the budget for it! This is such a shame.

Kids may think summer school is for the birds.

Some boys and girls are happy to hear there is no summer school.
For those of you who work and are now dealing with your children being at home ... alone... Summer Camp can be a great babysitter.

Weekend Wrap Up!


Weekends don't last long enough do they?

Email is a fun thing. You get something from someone, you open it up and then you lose yourself in the abyss called the internet. I was sent something by a friend. I thought well, that is cute. So here is what she sent me.


I found out all about Hot Browns. So you don't have to look up Wikipedia and fall into the abyss, I will tell you all that I read. Apparently the Hot Brown was originally created in Louisville, KY at the Brown Hotel in 1926.


Thanks to Fred K Schmidt we all get to enjoy that madness. It was created to serve as an alternative to a late night supper of ham and eggs.

It has been featured by TV Chef, Bobby Flay. It is sometimes called the Louisville Hot Brown or the Hot and Bubbly Brown. They even used to do a Cold Brown. I suppose when you visit Kentucky, you have to try a Hot Brown... just to say you did! And of course, you will love it!
