Generally, I’m not afraid of fluffy, ruffley concoctions. Generally, I am making them for Anya, though. I attempted to make myself a ruffley skirt, and it ended up being a bit too much. I started out with a rough idea of what I wanted to make, and had the fabrics all laid out. I wasn’t […]

Talk about instant gratification! These shirts are so easy to make and only take an hour and one yard of fabric. I’ve been scouring my fabric to find knits to use for them. One thing I have found out with making and wearing this shirt is… Knits with lycra = good Knits without lycra = bad […]
It’s official…Kailan is going to be nekked this summer. I just can’t stop making cute twirly skirts! At least I have plenty of pants that I can cut off and sew into shorts for him. He’s blown the knees out of several. NOW I understand why people say boys are hard on their clothes. I guess […]
An early crafty post this week… Oh, how I love to find things that camouflauge imperfections. Like my non-existent and slowly falling arse. I saw this idea, on etsy I believe, of adding a long fold-over piece to a pair of yoga type leggings. Wow, great idea Whomever-you-were! That is perfect since I really would […]
The past few weeks have been crazy busy. Example: Last week was quarter-end, which basically means I have to work a lot to get the financials done in a short amount of time. On top of that I needed to get the tax returns done so that my bosses are able to file their returns, […]
Oh boy, what a busy week we had. Last week we entertained at our house three nights, had dinner at another friend’s house on Saturday, and then everything that happens in between. The kids had lots of fun playing with their little friends and we had some good adult time, too. I was lucky that […]
I didn’t get too much done the past few weeks (last weeks rompers were done previously), as I have been doing a few photoshoots. That usually takes at least one day of my weekend with the shooting and editing and burning CD’s. I had a wedding and a shoot for 3-year old twin boys. I […]
Those little rompers I have been seeing around finally got to me. Not the adult version…oh no. That’s just a bit wrong and far too 1980’s for moi. I’m talking about those little rompers that just scream CUTE! LITTLE! GIRL! I saw a nice plain one in a magazine and decided to do one for […]
Another week of skirts! I like this style of skirt since it flatters my ruler type of body. The skirts that I make in this style have stretchy material and elastic waists. Pretty comfy. This works well with a top that isn’t overly defining of the waist. This skirt I made in December. I haven’t […]
As you know, I like to design my little princess’ dresses. I usually look around to get inspiration and then go to town by drafting a pattern that will hopefully fit. Lately, I have had a really hard time finding anything inspirational. I used to look on Ebay for the boutique sellers, because they seemed […]
