Woodland Fairy

Candy princess-1

At the last minute I decided she couldn't NOT dress up. And since I inherited my mother's allergy to store bought costumes Tutu hung out with papa while I whipped up some wings and a crown for my little princess. Details and more pictures tomorrow.

Dreaming and Ditching

I'm still dreaming about a new creative space

They are Autumn Leaves calendars that I had bound, 2005 (I think) and 2006. I've looked through them and found some great ideas, but I think it's time I pass them on, anyone interested? I'd be happy to send them anywhere. These are going to a good home, thanks!

What finally spurred me on was a new pile of clothes headed to the Goodwill. I promised myself I wouldn't take anything out of there to repurpose until I made something with the pile I already had downstairs. These are from a work shirt of Bj's that was so the wrong size, in fact we think he might have gotten the ladies style, it was too funny. All that you can see left of it is a tiny bit inside the back waist band:

Can you see how she is about to leap off the couch there?

Walking towards me (I purposely made them a little long). So I tried to corral her:

Good thing we put on that teething rail (fyi she bit my arm today!) Also these are wonderful for making a bit wider on top for cloth diapered babies.

Then she decided to try and reach for my camera, so I reached for her hand. A wonderful bunch of giggles ensued.
