Inspired by this skirt from Garnet Hill, I set out to make my own, and saved myself $188 in the process. Whew! It's not an exact replica, and I think I will add more poinsettias to fill it out, but I think it's pretty darn cute, and not bad for $10. Want to make one of your own? Here's what you'll need: 2 yards of white or off white fleece. … [Read more...]

Introducing: The Little Mermaid cast Sadie as Ariel, of course. The wig only lasted about an hour-but I was shocked it lasted that long! Rory as King Triton.. He looked fantastic! Very recognizable, (and handsome) I thought. He didn't like eating his wig half the time, but anyways...his was probably my favorite. Charlotte was … [Read more...]
