I am still doing skirts.  Are you sick if them yet?  (Sorry if you are....)  I have this one and one more on the way and then I am switching to Easter outfits for the fam.... but I am pretty excited about this one. I love to take simple shapes or concepts and make them into something new....it's my favorite thing to to.  So, for this skirt I combined the rolled roses that have been so popular with a skirt....and here's what I got. "The Painting the Roses Skirt." Here's how you make ... View the Post

Grace is fickle. She loves her accessories but only certain ones at certain times and since I'm not sure what her mood will be on St. Patrick's Day I made this accessory a 2-for-1 deal.
