Baptism Suit - Part Two

March 10, 2010 0 Comments
Well the second half of the suit is done! Skirts are usually easy, but for some reason this skirt was easy until the zipper went in. I could not get it to lie flat at the bottom of the zipper. I had my Mom look at it when she was over the other day and she suggested taking out the stitching that ran across the bottom...so I did, and it didn't help. Then I decided to take the zipper completely out and put it back in....nope still a slight bubble. I checked to make sure the skirt was hanging correctly and when the zipper was not in it fell just fine....then the zipper went in, so I fixed it at as best I could and we'll just have to go with it.

Should have been simple....

I am the first to admit that if I see something I like then I will probably copy it, and when I saw these cute Pottery Barn knock-offs at the Haverford House, then I knew that these would make a lovely addition to my Easter tablescape. I downloaded some images from The Graphics Fairy and then printed them out at 5" tall.

I figured that this would be a simple project that Dev and I could do together. Obviously, a 4 year-old would not be able to do the cutting or the gluing with any degree of accuracy, but I thought the glitter part would be up his alley. Ha! Silly Mommy you cannot compete with Mario, Yoshi and the lure of all his other toys. Sigh....At least Steve kept me company and helped me with my craft. I did end up doing most of the craft myself but more on that later.

Message/Idea Photo Collage

March 05, 2010 14 Comments
Photo frame collages are uber popular right now, and as such they are everywhere. Target has several photo frame collages that I love, but I don't love the $25 price tags. Not to mention they look really, really easy to make so I decided that I would try my hand at making one for my sewing room.

I wanted to incorporate the vintage scissor art that I made a few days ago, and a few weeks ago Shanty 2 Chic posted this tutorial on making your own dry erase board, and I knew I could expand on it. :) Do you see where my ideas start to mesh together? So off to A.C. Moore I go.
