When Elizabeth and I were making our Princess and the Pea projects I ran to the craft store to look for some felted wool balls...which I had never before purchased and had no idea where to find them. So while I was wandering from aisle to aisle I ran across packages of old fashioned wooden clothes pins and decided to buy a pack. Later that night Grace and I turned them into clothes pin people. We each painted our own. I started off with two casual girls for summer. And I finished with 3 ... View the Post
The Princess and the Pea Necklace Tutorial
"ONCE upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess; but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but nowhere could he get what he wanted. There were princesses enough, but it was difficult to find out whether they were real ones." ~Hans Christian Anderson We have been playing Princess and the Pea around here lately....and as fun as the story is I do think that there is an important underlying theme. No, it's not that they are going to ... View the Post

Ok...I know! PVC Pipes and Princess Dresses...it's a weird project...really weird. But I don't care. And my girls are crazy about it so it's what I'm sharing today.

This is what I came up with: Today I'm sharing the tutorial for Gracie's ruffled apron over at Riley Blake Designs and here I am sharing the pattern and tutorial for Ruth's toddler style apron. As for mine...I can't post a tutorial yet. After I finished up I realized it would be ... View the Post
A Cross-Stitched Collar Tutorial
If you know us you know that we are always making up some sort of pattern for our girls and that we have a definite signature style---vintage with a touch of modern. So to gear up for Fabric Fest I made one of our very favorite dresses. This style of dress is actually the first dress I ever drafted from scratch...using only Gracie's measurements...and yes, yes, I have made a million of them. But never out of this fabric! This is a piece from Riley Blake's Hipster Line and I've been ... View the Post
An Easy Swimming Suit Cover Up Tutorial
Things are about to get crazy around here. Ok maybe not girls-gone-wild crazy but tutorial-fun-and-projects-we've-been-dying-to-post kind of crazy. So I decided that if I want to share Gracie's swimsuit cover up (which has already been worn far more often than it should have been by June 3rd) then I better post it today before all the madness begins. I originally posted it over on the Terra's blog (one of the nicest people I've ever "met") but today I am reposting here to start off the ... View the Post
