Preppy Girl’s Quilt
Here is my latest creation, the preppy girl quilt. The commissioner of this quilt fell in love with the purple bunnies online at Reprodepot. Once we had the bunnies in our hot little hands, we met up at Purl Patchwork and picked the other five fabrics. The white on white Robert Kaufman floral print is the same print as the pink and white floral backing. Overall, I am totally charmed by this quilt and how it turned...
Read MoreBad Crafter
I have been way too busy having fun this summer and not working hard enough on all of my great projects. I am a very bad crafter. Like this past weekend, instead of sewing, I went off to the Jersey Shore. Saturday had great weather but storms rolled in on Sunday. I didn’t have my fancy camera but was able to capture a couple shots before the storm. But don’t worry, the crazy rain didn’t stop the fun. My only regret was having to leave to go back home so I could go to work on Monday. The boardwalk seems so mellow on a cloudy day. But it was bumping the night before! The lifeguards announced that the storm was coming and the beach cleared out,...

Doesn’t the first shot nicely show off the hem on the bottom of the dress and her cute little legs? Overall, I am very happy with the way the dress turned out and how it fit. My only concern before trying it on was the length. It seemed a little too close to evening gown length and my suspicions proved true when I tried the dress on Brielle. Next time, I think I will shorten it a bit. The pattern does come in larger sizes for toddlers and bigger girls. Once the model is walking, I think the length will work a lot...
Read MoreMore Makeup Bags
So, a certain blogger gave me a couple of yards of very cute Amy Butler green polka dots when I was out in San Francisco least month. It is perfect for makeup and to carry other little goodies. Although it is only July, I am already planning out what I want to make for the Bust Craftacular coming up in December, which is going to include little bags like this one. To give the bag a little more structure, I used batting between the polka dots and yellow lining. I also added some adorable grosgrain ribbon to the little strap, just to make it sassy. I offered Amy a little something in exchange for the fabric and all I could get her to agree to is a case for her...
