Red, White & Blue

We're ready for the Fourth of July...



Bring on the hot weather, watermelon and sparklers! (Or at least make the rain stop.)

Yo!

Oh how I used to love MTV back in the day...you know, when they actually played music and showed videos? My favorites were Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps.

A couple of months back, I found a great t-shirt (at Old Navy, of all places) and knew exactly what it must become:



Do you like it? I LOVE IT!

And so does my cute and happy girl.

Emm-Eye-See Kay-eee-Why (M.I.C.K.E.Y.)

My Lovely Assitant became an official fan of that famous Mouse last October when I look her to Disney on Ice. (I was so pleased that it was Mickey, and not one or more of the Princesses!)

When I told her we were going again in February, she asked for "a Mickey dress that is blue-my-favorite-color." And that is what she got!

I used the same pattern as for this dress and this dress, and made a freezer paper stencil for the mouse silhouette. I added some dots. Why? Because I like them!

The result is a dress she loves almost as much as the mouse himself.

Easter clothes for K & L

I was so excited when my friend Mindy asked me to create something for her son and daughter to wear for Easter. I only have a girl, so had to scramble to come up with something for him. Mindy gave me free reign, just telling me what colors her girl looks best in.

Here's what I came up with: one of my Criss-Cross Applesauce dresses, and a t-shirt with a little tie appliqued onto it.

Hope Mindy and her children like them as much as I do!
