lace top and deer leggings

It seems that the Nessie and Go To Leggings are my favorite pairing of late. especially for kids-so comfy and easy to wear. I made this set for a friend, so no pics on a kiddo...sad day right? The tee I made with LACE sleeves and used it for the binding and pocket as well. You might recognize the lace from this dress, and you might recognize … [Read more...]

Nessies and Geraniums and Baprons-OH MY!

I had a baby shower a few weeks ago for an old friend-well she's not old, just...well you know.  I've known her forevers. Anyways, she's having her first baby-(a girl!) so I knew I wanted to shower her with homemade goodies. She's got amazing style so I tried to pick fabrics out that were stylin'...haha who knows if I succeeded but I … [Read more...]

“Z” is for zipper, zebra, and zig zag

First off, I am SO psyched to be a part of Katy's Sew All 26 series! I love all her ideas for series, and I adore having a theme to work with. (read: Project Run and Play) I immediately signed up for the letter Z when she first emailed me. For two reasons-it was at the end, and I have been a bit of a procrastinator always lately. Secondly-I had … [Read more...]

KCWC: hot air balloon tee and applique skirt

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...]

bandanas to catch the drool

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...]
