Fabric destash

I found a ton of fabric at the thrift store the other day. I am selling a bunch of it for $2 a yard on etsy. For all my friends in vegas, I can hook you up with a better deal if you see something you like. I'm mostly trying to break even. I kept a few pieces. Also I cut up some of the sheets I've been collecting into fat quarters.

I love playsuits!!!

I know these happen to be the most impractical piece of clothing, but I love them. All clothes should come perfectly fitted in one piece. Isn't this the cutest pumpkin and strawberry you've ever seen. The pumpkin is made by I'm your present on etsy.com. The strawberry is made by Sew-Oeno also on etsy.com.

I added a ton of crap to the shop today. These cannisters are my favorite. I am way into vintage tins, and have collected a ton for sale.

Facebook

So I'm on facebook now, and I'm already regretting how many friends I've got. I guess it really doesn't matter. I granted a friend request to someone who's name sounded farmiliar, it turned out to be someone I barely like in real life. Whatever.

Home Made presents for Ella's Birthday

Vintage pillowcase dresses for Ella. These were so easy. I made them each in like 20 min. Here is a link on how to make a similar dress.

I also made her this tinkerbell outfit. I like making her barbie clothes, because I know they will last. Barbie hands rip out the sleeves of those cheaper barbie clothes all of the time. The wings are already coming apart, but they are just whip stitched on. I think I will take them off and and make ones out of tights and a wire hanger to slip on over her shoulders with elastic.

She wasn't very enthusiastic when she received the home made presents at her party, but hopefully they will last a long time, and she will remember when she's older.

I finally finished these!!

So I never saw fabric banners like I saw my sister-in-law Candace's on Etsy. They were so adorable they inspired me to make ones out of vintage handkerchiefs. That was about 1 year ago, and they are finally finished. Sparklepower on the left, and LiliaRose on the right.

Thanks so much for the inspiration, Candace. I'm sending you a banner I made just for you.

Ella's birthday party pictures

Behind her are streamers with white balloons at the top. It was overcast. I thought it would look like a raining cloud, but it didn't. Stacey made the awesome cake. It tasted awesome.
I love the girls in this picture. Katlyn was shaking with excitement, and you can see Makayla wants to open presents too.
I made a flounder pinata that the kids kicked. Some of the moms were nervous, but no one got hurt. I still stand by what a genious idea it was.
I forget how excited kids get for parties. I love the restraint that it took for just Ella to blow out the candles. Noah seems to be just as happy blowing into mom's hand.

All in all it was a good party. The kids had a good time. I got some good pistures of the kids. A few are on my flickr. Text me your email if you want to see more.
