Christmas things...

The Christmas tree... it would have been prettier if I had the tree skirt finished! Oops... but it is almost done. Picture to come on this post. The rest are picture of things that we made this year, crafting or decorations.

These little house I found here at Positively Splendid, they are super cheap Hobby Lobby houses... decorated!

the Nutcracker dress

This is a new dress I just made for a very special Nutcracker Sugar Plum Fairy Tea with my daughter. I thought it should be pretty and fluffy and I have been wanting to try the folded top of the dress, not sure what that technique is called but I have seen it a lot and think it is pretty.

little brother really wanted to be in the picture! :)

clothes for me...

it had to be done... a maxi skirt for me! There are a ton of tutorials, but really just sew two big pieces together using one of your own skirts as a template. I love this skirt! Super comfy.

Not the most flattering picture but here is a shirt I made, it still needs some adjustment...

a baby shower

Tiffany blue punch, found via pinterest, easy peasy blue Hawaiian punch with lemonade (and it's delicious)

 pull apart bread

baby watermelon :)

it's a girl! nail polishes, cookies

 

cupcakes and babies!

so many good ideas.... all from pinterest with a twist. Minus the bottle cookies! I do still have some original thoughts!

the quilt..

I fell in love with this chevron detail quilt looooong ago and wanted to make one for my daughter, so I did! I love it, it was pretty easy, but a bit time consuming... even though it was a super easy quilt I decided. Seeing that other quilts generally require many more tiny pieces than this one! Anyway, I wanted to coordinate with the colors in her room and she still loves pink! I followed this tutorial and it was pretty easy, minus changing the dimensions...

Not the greatest of pictures, but there it is!

old stuff...

I completely forgot to post this from July, obviously... but here is the 4th of July cake.

Not braggin' but this came out surprisingly delectable!

Another random thing... this slide was from the coolest park on the planet in Oregon that we happened to stop at for a rest from driving. It had a ton of play on toys that I have not seen in years!

a sweet homecoming dress

Here is my last creation... it was for a special and sweet homecoming. I made it to mirror mine, with the halter front and same shape. I couldn't find a great picture of the front of my dress... I love this floral fabric and you may see a top for me soon!
