I’m kind of a big deal in certain circles. Those circles being my friend’s son Victor. He requested a cow costume for Halloween a couple of years ago and has since named me his personal costumer. He wanted to be a tree this year, which seems a relatively easy request – sort of. This is how {…Continue Reading}
Did you guess? Yup, I went with the silver pleather. The black just seemed to contrast-y and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to use silver pleather. I mean when else except Halloween and maybe dress up can you say that? I still used the black felt, but more as a stabilizer in between each {…Continue Reading}
I’m not sure I should be allowed to be this excited about something I made, but I seriously love these little ladybug wings! They took less than an hour to make and turned out soo much better than I had envisioned. I used some of the leftover polka dot fabric from her dress and I had bought {…Continue Reading}
So far, so good! I worked for about two hours and was able to draft, cut, and sew Hadley’s ladybug dress. It went faster than Arden’s because I didn’t have to think about each step to be sure I was doing what I wanted. I know pink with white polka dots isn’t necessarily very ladybug-ish, {…Continue Reading}

I’ve participated once before – right when I started this blog and have meant to play along many times in the meantime, but it never seems to work out. So I was pretty happy to start the week off on a productive {…Continue Reading}

Late {…Continue Reading}
Can I just tell you how pleased I am that I got this dress finished in time for Hadley’s first birthday party? Normally, the fabrics would have just sat in the bag until it was too late to possibly finish, or I would try to sew late into the night with a resulting hopeless mess. {…Continue Reading}
My nephew Jack turns six tomorrow. When I asked my sister in law for some gift ideas she said he was into The Avengers and Iron Man. When I brought up a super hero cape she said he had just asked about one a few days before. ‘Nuf said – a super hero cape it {…Continue Reading}
So… Accountant + 2 Quarter closing + 4th of July Holiday + Parents in town + Etsy sewing = Really Bad Blogger! I know you’ve just been waiting on pins and needles for me to post something (ha!), but I do miss having regular posts. I’ve done a couple of fun things that I want {…Continue Reading}
Check me out on the main page today of One Kings Lane!! My shop is being featured as part of their Quintessential Summer promotion to sell the remaining units from the earlier event. I’m very excited as this time my shop name is getting a prominent mention and I have a new listing in my {…Continue Reading}
