M's got a new place! So excited for her. In the spirit of housewarming and helping her create a new home with her fiance and her stepdaughter, I started putting together a box of stuff to send. Don't worry A, your long delayed birthday present is inside :).
I have made her a bunch of CDs, the new mix tape don't you know. Hopefully they evoke some sort of memory...well not just some sort...the good sort.
I've also started gathering stuff for her stepdaughter. G is 3 and although I have never met her she sounds like the most adorable little girl ever. So far I have made her 2 dresses and a little bag. I'm working on something a bit bigger at the moment but I dont want to spoil the surprise yet. Although to be honest I will probably be so overcome with excitement that I end up calling and spilling the beans myself!
Here is the owl bag I made. Its from an owl pillow pattern but I changed it around so it could be a little handbag.
I recycled materials. The buttons were from a tin my grandmother gave me. She had been collecting buttons for her craft projects for forever, but she isnt doing them anymore. Yay for me though!
I also upcycled a tee shirt and a spaghetti strap dress into a whole new dress. I'm kind of in love with this one myself.
So excuse the harrassed looking face peeking out behind the dresses. My camera battery is dead so I have been using the iSight to take photos with. Also since we are going through a heatwave in this country of no airconditioning....things are mighty sticky shall we say. lol. Its almost too warm and humid to breathe. Enough complaining. This is a dress I made from a pattern I got on burdastyle.com. Its so adorable, not perfect, but I'm getting better. I left the straps long and I still have to hem it. I'm planning on hemming about 1.5 to 2 inches so that M can drop the hem or tie the straps shorter or longer depending on G's growth spurts.
Here is a close up of the material I used. Its really cute.
