I LOOVE me some pink and grey together.I've loved it ever since.....I made this shirt yesterday. ;)I used this awesome peasant shirt tutorial, and added a big ruffle down the front, which ended up not being exactly centered....oh well! Hopefully you can't tell when it's on her.More peasant shirts on the list for this week, also some dresses, … [Read more...]
kids clothes week: round one
May 11, 2010 By 46 Comments
My first item for Kids Clothes Week: a dress. Are you shocked? Surprised? hah. hah. Anyways...I gotta say, this is my new FAVE of Sadie's dress collection! (which is getting a bit ridiculous) I just love the fabric, I bought it on sale at Joann's awhile ago (like, $2.50 a yard? I think, so I only used about 3/4 of a yard, so CHEAP dress!), and … [Read more...]

Like I need another excuse to sew clothes for Sadie, but the Elsie Marley blog is having a kids clothes week challenge, where she challenges you to sew clothing for your kids for one hour each day the second week of May. (starting today!) There's no prize, just a fun opportunity to put aside time to sew for your kids. I can't wait and my mind is … [Read more...]
Happy Momma’s Day
May 9, 2010 By 6 Comments
First off, Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there! (especially my own!) I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the little munchkin that made me a mom almost two years ago. Every day I thank my lucky stars for my sweet little girl that we've been blessed with. This morning she ran into my room (in her diaper) with cards from her and Rory … [Read more...]

I don't think I've ever had this quick of a turnaround for a refashioned item! I bought this skirt in the morning ($1.50), and by the end of nap, she had a new dress! (with a few adjustments) Rory called it scandalous, I call it summery. (ok, maybe a bit scandalous, but she's still a baby!) ...and waaayy easy. (those extra letters are to impress … [Read more...]
sale

Today was a 50% off sale day at our Salvation Army store. I kind of love these days. :D I didn't find ANY books or linens, but scored on some bloomers for the baby (and one pair Sadie can wear). I was excited to find these (40 cents each!), because I'm not a fan of making them, and since I make a lot of Sadie's (and now baby's) dresses, sometimes I … [Read more...]

har har, yeah I'm sooo not funny with that title. This is one of those projects that's been on the to-do pile for awhile. Like, before I even got pregnant. Like, it was supposed to be someone else's baby shower gift. lol. oh well!I got the adorable leggings at Target for $1 or something, and made the little owl applique to coordinate. Sad thing is, … [Read more...]
flower applique shirt

Wow, I don't even know how I ended up with these two semi-decent photos. We were NOT having a good photo session when I took these. These pictures cost me a few chocolate chips. (yes, I'm not above bribery apparently. At least when I get desperate and frustrated) ANYways...I thought that the pillow applique I did for my sister's birthday would also … [Read more...]

chalk art
May 4, 2010 By 3 Comments
So, last night we pulled out Sadie's chalk she got from the Easter bunny (yes, we haven't used it yet, shame on us), and had a blast coloring up our driveway!I think Rory may have had as much fun as Sadie, if not more fun. I don't like the feeling of chalk on my hands (kinda like cotton balls...they give me the willies!), so I opted to take … [Read more...]
