Happy Minnie Surprise

    

I found this wonderful Minnie Mouse fabric on Etsy at happynanaShop. They have so many different fabrics and ones you might not find at your typical Joanns. The Minnie Mouse fabric I bought was different – it was classy but girlie and cute at the same time. Vanessa wanted a Valentine’s day dress for her class party, so I got busy the other day sewing up this little beauty. I used the NEWLook pattern SO609. It was so easy to make and could take a few hours. I think I might make a few more dresses using this pattern. And hopefully everyone checks out this fabric shop on Etsy.

Art Smock Fun

Been a busy week making gifts. Vanessa has two birthday parties back to back and everyone knows I love making gifts. Her first party is going to be at Chuckee Cheese. She is an easy-going, fun girl so I knew I could finally make that Monster Art smock I always wanted to make.  It was easy and fun to make. I always give a book to every gift I give. It was a kids book about mixing paint. Anyway here is the finished product. 

What’s in a name

I forgot to post this, but it’s a gloomy day and a perfect blog day. Played the piano a little big, sipped on a latte, helped Vanessa on her sewing machine and scribbled a few words with my dip pen. A couple months ago, I made name cards for my family with an owl stamps on them. Thought I would share for inspiration.
