You can't, don't bother talking to your computer screen answering me. The cheeks will eat you aliiiive! Anyways, I used the Ruffle Top/Dress pattern, and it was … [Read more...]

KCWC: hot air balloon tee and applique skirt
April 24, 2013 By 19 Comments
Outfit #3! a skirt and shirt combo...with my favorite color combination right now-coral and gold! (obviously) I drafted this cap sleeved slightly gathered neckline top, then stamped the heck out of it with my hot air balloon stamp and some gold paint. I got lazy with the sleeves and haphazardly sewed them under 1/8", but whatevs. It fits and I was … [Read more...]
KCWC: bubble pocket shorts and polka dot tee (and giveaway/coupon code)
April 24, 2013 By 30 Comments
Outfit #2! I'm loving this one...these shorts are my favorite part. I have plans to make a few more pairs! I used the Bubble Pocket Shorts pattern and it was a great pattern! I sewed up the 3/4T size, & they should definitely fit her at least a year, yay! It was easy to sew up (about 1.5 hours for me, and that was while being semi-distracted by … [Read more...]

Vote for your favorite look here! I had SO much fun with this week....and so did Sadie! The theme was " Spring Formal Wear"....and after all, what's more fun than dressing up like a princess?

bandanas to catch the drool
April 18, 2013 By 15 Comments
So. This kid, Ava. She is constantly....and I mean CONstantly, drooling. My other girls, sure they drooled when they were about to get teeth, and maybe Ava is-but she is always chewing on her hands, too...which just makes it worse! We were going through our bibs way too quickly, and they were not nearly thick enough to keep her dry. Enter: the … [Read more...]

Vote for your favorite look here! "It's all in the details" week was definitely the hardest for me, design-wise...it took awhile to figure out what I wanted to do...after all, the theme "Details" is not much of a guideline. I could pretty much do whatever I wanted! Talk about overwhelming. Finally, with the help of my awesome best friend … [Read more...]
