Wee Whimsy Couture {giveaway}

Word has it that I'm a bit...how should I put this...fashion obsessed when it comes to the pint sized set. I'm not usually one to go along with labels, but...if the shoe fits {yes, please make them red, with white polka dots}...

Enter
Wee Whimsy Couture, a fun new etsy shop filled with sweet designs for little ones at budget friendly prices.

What do you say we get to know Monica, the designer behind
Wee Whimsy Couture, a bit better?

Name: Monica
Age: 38
Location:
San Antonio, Texas. GO SPURS!!! LOL, I love basketball.
Etsy Shop:
Wee Whimsy Couture

How long have you been designing/sewing kids' clothes?
I have been designing and selling for a few months, but have been sewing for over 10 years. I took a sewing class to learn to sew pillows and home décor, then I started making pj pants and shorts, then little dresses for my friends' daughters and have not stopped since.
What led you to open your etsy shop?
My best friend found Etsy, she bought some bows to match a few of the dresses I made for her daughter and she talked me into selling my designs. I am so glad she did, I LOVE Etsy!
What inspires you?
I am inspired by well, almost everything LOL!
How many kids do you have?
I have 5 kids, 4 boys and 1 girl. My oldest son is serving in Iraq at this time. I miss him so much! Thank goodness for Skype and the internet! I am able to talk and see him at least once a week. I have another son who is following in his big brother's footsteps and is in boot camp right now. My daughter and another son are in college, so that leaves me with only my youngest son still living at home, which I told him will have to be forever!
How do you describe your design style?
I think my design style is fun and whimsical...as you can tell by my designs I LOVE polka dots!
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time I play Xbox Kinect games with my youngest son and husband, as well as watch movies. I also read books. I got an e-book reader for Christmas and I just LOVE it.
Thanks so much for letting me share a little about myself. I look forward to this giveaway and making a dress for one of your blog friends!
~Monica
