Ruffle Dress





My sister-in-law got married this past weekend..... and of course I decided to make sure all of the nieces were made cute little matching dresses. Using my new favorite ruffle fabric, I made the cutest little ruffle dresses..... the best part was that they looked complicated but were so easy to make they only took about 30 minutes each! Hopefully I'll be able to find a pic of all 3 girls together (they are all 4 and under so getting them all to sit still is quite a chore!)

Belated Valentines




Yes, I am THAT mom who dresses her children in 
"holiday themes". But seriously, they are only going to be little for a short while and I just have so much fun playing dress up. I found the cute ruffled shirt at Goodwill (did I mention I love that store!?) for $1.99, and made a simple elastic ruffled skirt with matching rosette pins. Finished the outfit with a crocheted flower hair barrette. Hope you both gave and received some love this Valentines Day!

Matching Cuteness!



Just finished these dresses and hairbows for two little cuties, who happen to by my nieces! That's right folks, it's January 9th and I have finally finished my Christmas presents. (don't judge.... I didn't exactly procrastinate, I was just saving the best presents for last!)





My little lady modeled the older sister's version.... and though I admit I tried the younger sister's dress on my little man to make sure I had the sizing right, I think my husband would have had more than a few words with me if I took pictures of him modeling it! 

Of course, every dress needs accessories.... The crochet caps can accompany the dresses for the cooler months, and the hair bows/barrettes for the warmer ones! I used pinwheels on the dress (since they wash well and won't unravel), but I found this awesome free "how to" for making the fabric flower barrettes... check it out!
