Time at the zoo....

V's Pirate Costume.
Tonight I got to go to Haunt the Zoo with my cousin, niece and nephew. It was an enjoyable time and I'm glad I was able to go with them. My little sweetie got to wear her pirate costume that I made and must say that she was TOO cute. Love her to pieces. She doesn't wear things on her head too well so instead of a hat or scarf, I made her a bow with a skull on it.

I was totally worried about how the costume would turn out but I'm pretty please with the end result! :)

Something New....

I decided to start this blog to share the various items that I make. I love to craft..... sew...... scrapbook...... play in makeup... and I am pretty proud of some of the various items I've made. So I want to share what inspires me as well as how my projects turn out... good or bad.

My sister and our niece. This was taken at the pumpkin patch.... how cute are these two? :)
I have several projects I've made over the last year that I'll share as time progresses but the first I want to share is this adorable Ok State dress I made for my niece. I made it from a shirt my sister didn't want anymore. I made three tiers. It was something I looked at other dresses for construction but was a trial and error masterpiece. First try was too snug so I added panels on the side. It's still a bit short but will still be just as cute with some leggings.
