It has a bit of a bell sleeve to it, an a line shape and a keyhole in the neckline!

It is going to be so cute with some leggings and boots this fall!

This one is listed in my shop:

Coffee Cozies!


More from my scrap box!

Super cute little coffee cozies!

well....mine is a water cozy for the picture b/c I didn't have a coffee cup!

Love finding things to make that use up scraps!

I'm thinking a bit cuter fabrics and some monogramming and these are going in my etsy shop!

Who doesn't have an overwhelming amount of scraps?

But you just can't throw them away....Must. Make. Something. With. Them!!!!!!

Funky playdoh recipes

The rainy days lately have brought out the teacher in me....and we've been doing projects and making stuff!




Some fun playdoh recipes we have tried this week:



FLUBBER:



1 1/2 cups glue (the white stuff)

4 T Borax (found with laundry detergent in a box, fairly cheap too!)

4 Cups water



Mix 2 c water and glue.

In a separate bowl mix 2 C water and borax.

Stir until it dissolves.



Pour Borax mixture a little at a time into the glue mixture.







SILLY DOUGH:



1/4 cup liquid starch (found it at the Walmart after looking everywhere else! It's in a blue jug with laundry type stuff.)

1/2 cup glue (white stuff)

1/4 t. food coloring



Mix together.

Let it sit for 5 Min.

Knead by hand until starch is absorbed.





These are really quite fun. So much better than boughten play doh too!!!!

The Double Mac


I certainly can't be caught with a plain jane kinda stroller.

So, when my new double MacLaren stroller arrived on my doorstep I just had to do something.  It was all brown for goodness sake!

Here's what I came up with:



Reversible seat covers in some of my favorite-and not super girly-Amy Butler prints!

LOVE!

And I can take them off and wash them super easy too! Bonus!

I also added a pouch thing for the back that attaches with velcro. 
For all those random things a mommy seems to get handed while out and about!


New bag for ME!


How much do I love this bag.  ummmmmm lots!

It is just gorgeous in person! And I put lots of pockets in for all those things I seem to have to carry around!

If it wouldn't have been rainy outside I should have taken this picture in sunlight!

Simple Summer Sundress!

Love Love Love this simple style!

I think Peighton will be wearing one of these most of the summer as she already LOVES it!







So cute and would be great in the fall too with long sleeves underneath!

A snow day project


It's been snowing for DAYS around here....so I decided to make a beach tote this afternoon for our upcoming trip to Mexico!
I think it'll be great for toting things around and I made it super lightweight so it won't take up much space in my suitcase....leaving plenty of room for lots of cute shoes!
And it just happens to match an adorable little messenger bag that I made last week!
