Giveaway at JCasa

I would love to win a gorgeous quilt in shades of yellow from JCasa, check out the giveaway here on her blog. She has a lot of beautiful things in her etsy store too.

Peasant Style Dress

I made this as dry run of sorts for Mollie, just to test the pattern. I will be making one out of a very fine wale red corduroy for a Christmas dress. I think this one turned out ok, but I want the final version to have a little more shape. I liked the addition of the lace on the bodice, it helps it to look like it has more shape than it does.

ETSY

I started an etsy shop! I am so excited. I will be listing vintage finds (some from my Grandma) and a few handmade things and I put a webkinz sweater pattern on there too. I even had my first sale :) check out the shop on the left!

Movie with a Positive Message

Have you seen this!

I know, two posts in a day! But these are great! You can print out your own presidential candidate, their wives and their vp's. There is even Hillary if you want to print her!

More a Week in the Life

More of A Week in the Life

Well, I have been snapping photos of the strangest things and even forgetting things that I should take photos of (like car line at school, a big part of every day). I think I will use next week to get a few generic shots that I forgot- like car line. And work on building my mini album and choosing a color scheme etc. I tried to upload a few photos, but blogger wasn't having it! So I will have to upload at another time... maybe tomorrow. I've been working on a journey of faith album called Look Straight Ahead and I am excited to share that here as well. I finished it tonight and I just want to sit and flip through the pages over and over.

A Week in the Life

I am doing a challenge to scrap a week in my life. I was inspired by Ali Edwards. It should be fun and I am interested to see the finished product as I don't really know the specifics yet. I am already taking a lot of pictures of what seems to be nothing... and awaiting creative inspiration for how to put them together, but I have high hopes for what this little mini album will be!Here is a peek at some of the pics. And you can see I have just started another of those knitted washcloths, this one is a different pattern :)
