Sadie is flat out obsessed with the My Little Pony show-she has all the characters in toy form (and some doubles), sleeps with them at night, acts out the plots of various episodes....and her favorite pony has always been Rainbow Dash. No wonder, I mean...she can fly and her mane and tail are the colors of the rainbow! So when I asked her what she … [Read more...]
the sweet & sassy dress: a tutorial
August 24, 2012 By 21 Comments
This dress pretty much named itself because Miss Sadie was being super sassy during this photo shoot! I couldn't believe the smiles I was getting out of her! Surprisingly it only cost me a leftover piece of saltwater taffy from her party....I was all ready with Squinkies and such nonsense. I think it's a fluke...pretty sure next time she'll be as … [Read more...]
little striped top
July 31, 2012 By 18 Comments
I had the hankering for a quick sewing project the other day so I pulled out some knits and made this little top for Sadie. I'm thinking that I should sew for Charlotte more, though...Sadie is such a stinker when it comes to photo shoots nowadays! Although once she gets down to business she always pulls through. (she usually needs the promise of a … [Read more...]

Annie dress review
June 5, 2012 By 10 Comments
Here's the second Ruby Jean dress-the Annie dress! I offered Sadie 3 fabric choices and she liked all of them, so I chose the yellow...then she was slightly disappointed when I didn't use the pink fabric....so point being, always choose pink I guess. I went for a few brownie points with the pink button, but I don't think it helped much. ;) This … [Read more...]

May 30, 2012 By 14 Comments
I just love the Molly Jacket pattern from Violette Field Threads! They sent me their paper pattern to try-which means no printing and taping together, which is nice. Not that I mind PDF patterns at all, just a change of pace! It's definitely a great pattern-it came together quickly and the collar is adorable, right? I left off the pockets, and … [Read more...]
