Happy New Year!

I've been busy the last two weeks starting some new projects for the new year and finishing some projects from 2008. I took a little breather around Christmas, if you can call it that, to be with family and get family Christmas gifts done. Now I'm ready to get crafting again!

My baby turns one this weekend, so I have been busy getting her perfect princess outfit done, complete with tutu. Her birthday present is a new idea I had for a collage of frames. I'm thinking about adding these to my store. There are no photos in the frames yet, but you get the general idea. I also made a few other outfits and have several more in process.

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.

Bonus picture of my office: that's 104 bows on the wall!

New dress pattern

I love these cross-back dresses! These three have been fun to make and are totally reversible! These are my "samples" that I experimented on, so they are not perfect. I got my pattern down and am now ready to stock them in my etsy store.

And.... introducing AlexiaJean bloomers! I can make bloomers to match any dress design, including my pillowcase dresses now. See photos below.
