I didn't get much at this month's Salvation Army 50% off sale, but it was a good score anyways. I got two dresses, the one on the right fits great, although I can't wear it until I'm done nursing. :( oh well. Also a cute wooden frame I'll probably paint and put a picture of Charlotte in. She needs to be represented now! Instead of the shrine to … [Read more...]

August 10, 2010 By 7 Comments
my sister (who's getting married this weekend), and I were gabbing about wedding stuff a few weeks ago, and she mentioned she was shopping online for a garter. I gasped in horror...and then told her she had to let me make it. She was all for that, of course.

ladybugs
August 3, 2010 By 7 Comments
Sadie really likes ladybugs, so this fabric was perfect for her. (and like $2 a yard at Joann's) I've been saving it for just the right top, and I've also been saving this tutorial from Prudent Baby....so I finally put one and one together and made....this! I'm no newcomer to peasant tops, but I loove the cinched in waist, so I had to try it. … [Read more...]
