Will you be Mine?

I was just dying to make a refashioned Valentine's Day dress for my little girl so I went over to the local goodwill where I found myself a pretty awesome early 1990's slinky contempo dress that we both thought would work fabulously! Once I called it a "slinky dress" she was ALLLL over it! Once I got home and really started to think about how I wanted it to turn out I thought I would really like for it to have a big red bow on the front and since the slinky material wouldnt work for that I looked in my big box of scraps and luckily found a piece of fiery red material I thought would work perfectly. Sadly my little girl is sick this weekend and I just wouldnt feel right asking her to get up off the couch to try on my work of art and then model it for some cute pics so right now it is just hanging on a hanger waiting for someone to try it on. Soon Soon I am sure. Oh, I also made a Heart hair clippie (its clipped on the sleeve) for her to wear in her hair :)

Refashioned Shorts and Dress!

Well after looking at my ever growing pile of clothing that I refuse to get rid of but could no longer ever wear again (either because of 2 kids later or if I wore it I would be trying to look 15 again) I decided it was time to take the pile down by at least 2 items. And of course being inspired by my little girl- I wanted to make a fun new outfit just for her. You see for Christmas she received in her stocking (from Santa of course) a pair of glasses that is a disguise (good ol' $ store) and they have turned out to be one of her most favorite things. She in fact insists on wearing them nearly everywhere we go and really enjoys the looks and laughs that she gets from almost EVERY person that passes her by. So anyways I came up with what I like to call "my strange little man" outfit. Because whenever we are out in public and she's wearing her disguise people always comment "who's this strange man following you?!"
