I got a little carried away with making summer PJ's for the Sadester. I can't help it, they are so easy and fun to make! Plus, I got to use up some of my flannel that's been sitting around for awhile. Always good to use up the stash :D Makes room for more fabric. (haha just kidding Rory, well only slightly) I embellished some tank tops to match, … [Read more...]

This outfit I made Sadie to wear for the Fourth of July (assuming I won't be in labor or something, in which case, Mom, this is what Sadie should wear if we're in the hospital), might be a little early, but as you may know, I am trying my hardest to as much done before this baby comes. Such as party planning, outfit-making, etc...you know, she can … [Read more...]

Since I imagine I'll be quite busy with a new-ish baby (not to mention the Sadester), around Sadie's 2nd birthday in August, among other things...I'm trying to get any pre-party planning/tasks out of the way now, while I still have tons of free time. (hah hah) Included in that list was a birthday dress for the birthday girl. I decided on a ice … [Read more...]

...and that's it! lol. I know I said I was done, but I had to make SOMETHING with this fabric, I've been pondering what to do with it for awhile. It's a shower curtain, from Target, found at Goodwill. ;) So I whipped up a little skirt last Friday (it's hemmed already so I didn't have to do that!), with a cute ruffle at the top. It took about 20 … [Read more...]
