First, let me make this … [Read more...]

Then I started poking around Pinterest and settled on a vintage summer camp vibe and got excited about planning it! First, the invite! Invite is available in my Etsy shop! Kept it simple with the decor & dessert table, just some gold letter … [Read more...]

upcycled & shirred knit top

I've been cleaning out old drafted posts, and found this adorable set of photos from an upcycle I did years ago for Charlotte! I can't remember what pattern I used for the base, but I just had to share the pics because she's SOOO little and adorable. I loved how the shirt turned out too!

navy and coral Nessie

Not much to this top-a straight up Nessie-but the fabric in my opinion, makes it my favorite Nessie in Ava's drawers right now! You saw it on Sadie's raglan tee, but I think I love it even more by itself. There's something about aqua, coral, and navy-such a great combo. I just couldn't let the rest of that fabric go to waste. Usually after I … [Read more...]
