Makella’s Christmas Dress

This year I decided to make Makella’s dress. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I used the bodice of a dress she wears to make sure when I cut the fabric it would fit. Can you believe that it fits like a glove? I have to say sometimes when I think about it I’m shocked ! I had started taking pictures for a tutorial and then spaced doing anything for the second half of the dress. I could make another dress if a tutorial is REALLY needed by everyone… what do you think?

Second and most important.. I need your help! The husband thinks the flower around the next line should come off, and I can’t decide. What do you think? Keep the neckline flower, or take them off?

Merry Christmas everyone………………………

How do you spend your time?

So I am sitting here in front of the computer, when I should be doing a million other things! The Husband is out of town, the kids are asleep and I can't seem to get motivated to do anything useful besides sit on the couch and surf the internet.. research Christmas gift ideas.

It could be due to the fact that I am currently a single Mom (props to all single Mom's out there...I only have to do it for a couple days here and there and it can be tough a bit challenging at times) 

It could be due to the fact that I stayed up WAYYY to late last night working on Makella's Christmas dress...picture soon to come. I just have to add some finishing touches!

or it could be that I just am tired and should go to bed!

I'll take all of the above and see ya in the morning :)

(Please tell me you have many moments like this too!!!)

Cake Stand

I was so excited when I saw this plate and candle holder at Hobby Lobby. I don’t have a cake stand and had been looking for the right pieces to make one… They are so easy (just glue the two pieces together) and now I want to make a 100 more… but then what do you do with that many stands??

See the candle holder??

Such a simple project..and it’s even better with warm cookies on it. Don’t ya think?

Im back..and some business

I am back from a fun Thanksgiving trip to visit some family in New Mexico. The 10 hr drive went really well considering I have a 4 year old and 1 year old.

I was able to get some Black Friday shopping done, and the whole time I was there I thought we were crazy for getting up so early and going out in that crazy mess. Why do we do it?? I will never know!

I hope you all survived too....

Also our little business to take care of. Our giveaway at the Polka Dot Chair winner was ....

I actually really like the car seat canopies. I've always wanted one for our Hazel and it would come in so handy this winter!

Congrats!! I just contacted you via email!!!
