This post was originally posted for Elegance and Elephants "Knock off" series, but we are bringing it home today. My only regret when I made these is that I didn't buy ten packs of those cool disco-like styrofoam balls. I would love to use them a million other ways..... I am totally in love with anything Olive Juice clothing does and this darling pom pom necklace is no exception. Simple, childlike but still so darling on an outfit. source I also figured out that it would also be ... View the Post
This Post Has Been Brought to You by the Letter “O”
Today's post is about organic fabric, oatmeal, and orange. (Orange food that is.) Let's start with the organic fabric: Awhile ago we were contacted by Organic Cotton Plus an online fabric company that sells only eco-friendly products who asked if we would like to try a sample of one of their fabrics...and of course I said yes. Then I was able to peruse their website of wonderful organic and naturally dyed fabrics. It took me more than a week and far more than one visit to their site before I ... View the Post
The Any Occasion Skirt Tutorial
So awhile ago I had this idea to make some sort of a skirt for Grace that she could wear for any holiday.

And even more lucky for me, the day we did the photo shoot she had just returned from a day of "hair, make-up and ... View the Post
Color Blocked Bodice Tutorial
A little while ago we were over at icandy handmade sharing a tutorial for Jen and Autie's Basic Bodice Series. And since I really do like the bodice, and because I did make this dress for her to wear during the holidays I'm sharing the post and tutorial back here on our blog today. (And while I'm sharing this on the blog I'm working at home to finish up a holiday skirt that I am so excited about! If I hussle I'll have it completed and ready to go for Thursday. I really hope I get it ... View the Post
When it rains…..
I told you I was waiting to share Hannie's Halloween costume and I finally got the tutorial done for you today. Last year for Halloween she went as Audrey Hepburn, and this year she decided a long time ago that she wanted "to be someone old again." Which to her, meant different. She was adamant that she wanted to have a costume that no one else had. So, she and I brainstormed and this is what we came up with.... We took our inspiration from this image. A 60's mod dress with a ... View the Post
