Oh what the heck!

I couldn't help myself! I finished Camryn's Easter dress tonight and had to show it off. Well its almost done. I just need to complete the sash, make her matching headband, and I was thinking of adding a flower or something to the dress. (Do you think it will be too much????) I have an obsession with adding fabric flowers to everthing the past few weeks! :)

Oh Yes, and now lets hope it fits ;)

This totally beats the masacre I did the xmas dress, so Zack will now have to have complete faith in me with my crazy ideas.

This is also part of the Weekend Wrap Up Party at TaterTots and Jello - Check out Jen's Weekend blog party for some other incredible things made this week! - The buttons on the side bar!!!

Easter Dress Update, inspired?

Its Get inspired Day at Sew Dang Cute, and here's what I've been working on this week..... (Purse was inspired actually by the tutorial from "From an Igloo," and my niece obviously for the fabrics :) )

Happy Friday All! I've been terribly busy with Zack gone to Upstate NY again this week so Im being single mommy all week and trying to get my projects in gear for 2 stores now and blablabla....

So here is my update. I finally started Camryn's Easter dress. Its only the top half but it was the more difficult half. Hoping I'll have the bottom finished tonight after the kids head off to bed. What a Friday night for me huh! Oh how I can't even fathom going out on Friday's like I use to 5 years ago! Her dress is going to have a matching flower for her hair too, with the fabric I found for the lining, can't wait, its going to be so cute all put together :)
Here is the funky bag my niece requested. Leopard and Cupcakes! I think it actually looks kind of cute. I also added a matching flower to it as well which I forgot to photograph.

Have a good weekend and hope to catch up soon and see all the fun things you've been up to! Enjoy the nice weather while its around this weekend too, I will be :)

Hey did you also know its "New Friend Friday"???!!! Check it out...

Saturday Morning Projects

Zack this morning left to work on his parents bathroom makeover, so I decided to steal the idea from Susan's Colorful Life to do a project with Camryn after Jacoby went for his nap. She loves doing projects, so I thought it would be much more rewarding crafting with her this morning than by myself still trying to master my ruffles. Our garland banner didn't turn out as perfect as the ladies fromm Susan's, but take into consideration that the items were found sper of the moment thru out the house and my 4 year old had the driver seat of the project most of the time :)))))

We decided to make Grandma a St. Patricks Day present (early) so she can add it to her holiday decoration collection for St. Patrick's Day. She has decorations for every holiday from Easter, 4th of July and even president's day. We figured we'd make this one for Grandma because she loooovvvvves Irish day!!!!! And decided the next banner we make will be for "Mammi" (other grandma, just called Mammi), for Easter, since Camryn had such a good time creating this banner masterpiece. We still plan on putting one together for our house too later, but its such a nice day for once around here (50 degrees and sunny) Its been awhile, so Camryn is getting some fresh air.


We found construction paper, all different kinds of green markers, paints, felt, stamps, stickers etc. And a pair of Zack's old boxers. Don't worry they were washed and clean, its not like I took them out of the dirty laundry basket!!! Plus it was the only shamrock type of fabric I could find worthy of cutting up. She did most of the decorating and cutting and I did most of the glueing. I tried to leave most of it up to her, but I strung it all together afterward.

Ta Dah!!!! I think its adorable and so homey because she put so much effort in it.

ANd the after math, I didnt want to leave that out!!!!



* Thanks Susan for the inspiration for a great Saturday morning project with my little girl this moring!

Safari Safari, Giraffs :)

I finally made use of this Safari fabric I've been hanging onto and adoring for months!

I finally had an image and followed through, and so here is Camryn modeling the new giraffy fabric by Alexander Henry Dressy, I just adore. The flower is detachable, it was going to be permantly attached but Zack said he liked it better with out and I really wanted to add something more frilly to the fun designer fabric but plainer dress style. So there is with matching headband and all!

Camryn isn't up for modeling much these days, I usually have to snap 100 pictures and hope for the best as she rolls her eyes and makes goo goo faces at me and is like mommy no more pictures! But when I dont take pictures of her she asks me to take her picture. Oh how the world will never understand us women but us :)

The dress is fully lined and zipper, I was so excited for my new sewing adventure and loved it turned out good. HollieKs
