Waiting for Spring...

I've been working on Rachel's spring and summer outfits. The process is slow, but I finished one outfit today. I used Amy Butler and Mary Engelbreit fabrics to make a skirt.

The top fabric is Amy Butler, the bottom is Mary Engelbreit.

I cut out a design from a piece of Amy Butler fabric and machine appliqued it onto a t-shirt I bought at the store. When I found the t-shirt, I was so excited. I already had the fabric and color matched so perfectly.



Rachel loved her new outfit, since it was so cold, we couldn't play outside.

Meanwhile I was going through her closet and found a white top with lace and a black t-shirt. These would look cute with the skirt. Her new t-shirt would also go well with jeans and white capris.



I am so excited! I am working on different skirt from a dollar store find. It will be very cute when it is finished. I'll post pictures of that when it's done. Check back in a few days!

Sitting Pretty

I bought these chairs and table from different places; yard sales and second hand stores. Last summer I found the table at a garage sale, it was marked $5, but I got it for $2. I love it! They are very sturdy, but need some work. I am not motivated enough to go through the process of sanding and painting and putting on the finish right now. But I wanted to give Rachel a pretty place to sit when she plays house. So made these zabutoun (Japanese for floor pillow).





She loved it!! That afternoon we had a tea party.
