KCW: granny floral Norah dress
June 23, 2015 By 4 Comments
It's not like Ava needs new clothes. She has two older sisters who hand things down (although not often, Sadie can still wear some 4T things and she's turning 7 this summer), so she has a few of their old dresses. It's just that I get tired of seeing the dresses on the THIRD GIRL in a row...lol. Put that urge together with my fabric stash and … [Read more...]

Just wanted to pop in her and show off some more pics of one of my looks from Vol 3 of 5 and 10 Designs-No. 9! It's both striking and sweet, and combines crisp color blocking with sweetly tied side sashes, making it a great dress for any occasion! Can you imagine it in a solid and a pattern? Or maybe stripes, but the panels cut horizontally or … [Read more...]

I'll be traveling a few times this year so I figured it was time to make a travel jewelry clutch. I've made one before (as a gift), but I wanted one that was smaller and had something for stud earrings...I scrolled through Pinterest and found this tutorial, which I loved all the aspects of, so it was my winner! I used my fave striped fabric and … [Read more...]

so here are a few more of the tops I mentioned in my last post! I love to make a few simple long sleeved Nessie tops when it gets chilly (chilly for california that is....ha), and so I cut into this lovely floral knit from Girl Charlee...again for Miss C! She loved doing a photo shoot all by herself. and...getting all the chocolate to herself … [Read more...]
liberty floral and striped geranium dress
November 3, 2014 By 19 Comments
Little Ava was due for a new church dress, and I was feeling some pattern mixing coming on! I grabbed this striped shirting (from Joann's-which I've used a few times! versatile!), and paired it with some delicate floral liberty. Which I've been hoarding for....awhile, let's just say. I decided to not let it waste away on the shelf, and I'm so … [Read more...]

I am SO psyched to share this project with you all today! I was contacted by the Leather Hide Store about sending me a hide to work with, and of course I was in. I love using leather! (for moccs, shoes, phone cases, accents...) They sent me a few samples and I chose my hide color from those. (Dark Gold Rush.) I wanted to make a bag with it-but … [Read more...]
5 and 10 designs dainty floral dress
September 7, 2014 By 9 Comments
I had some of this amazing (buttery soft) fabric in my stash, asking to be made into a vintage-esque little dress for Ava! I wanted the dress to have a peter pan collar in the same fabric-so I turned to the 5&10 Designs e-book for the pattern! This one is Heidi's design-and I love it. I sewed up a 2T knowing it would be a bit big on her, … [Read more...]

June 19, 2014 By 13 Comments
If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen that I've been working on my playroom-which is really an attached sunroom off of our living room. We've been in this house 6 years and still never framed out the door or finished painting or adding baseboards. for shame! It's been an eyesore (in my opinion, ha!) so I finally poked and prodded Rory into … [Read more...]
