Uncle Stephen's Army Princess

Is this not the CUTEST little princess?!

*She is near the age of my daughter, and has WAAAAAAAAAAY more hair! Jealous!*

This little angel and her younger cousin (hopefully I'll get pictures of her, too!) are going to help send their uncle off to Afghanistan this weekend. I'm so thankful my outfits help celebrate special times like these. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU to all our servicemen and women! This USA we live in is truly what it is because of you and your sacrifices.

Fun with rick rack!

I picked up this cute little skort for my daughter at the CCC sale a couple of weeks ago, only to discover she has nothing to go with it!


Being the crafty mommy I am, I stashed it away in my office until epiphany hit. And here it is!

I stared at the blank white tshirt for a minute or so, and then looked closely at the little OshKoshy flower, and thought to myself, "I have those same colors of rick-rack!" So I set out to make a replica flower (okay, maybe replica is too strong a word here) but hey, it turned out cute! Especially for a $4 resale skort, and a $3.50 plain white tank top... not bad for an experiment!

New Projects

I've been teaching myself how to applique, and my mom taught me how to use the ruffler on my sewing machine. That is my new favorite toy! It makes perfect ruffles everytime and is very easy to use! Here are the photos of some of the new things.
