A Dress for Lily

I have a soft spot for beautiful fabric. And I love love love this one that I've stashed away for a while (in amongst a huge pile of other divine, yummy, designer - shooossh don't tell the hubby stash!). Hmmm what can I say? It was late in the night, when all is quiet and asleep. It was the fabric, the sewing machine and just me. I am mighty proud of what I've achieved...

Fabric: Pretty Bird by Pillow & Maxfield for Michael Miller

My beautiful stash is mostly from:
Chibirun.com and
Wrapped in Fabric

Design from Amy Finlayson: Habitual.wordpress.com

Model: my own :)

Here Kitty Kitty

I am SO in love with handmade. Anything handmade. But especially cute little girl's stuff. Isn't it obvious already? My poor boys, they go around in their K-Mart trackies and hand me down t-shirts. But little missy gets dressed up to the nines even on the rainiest, darkest, coldest days. Who says there's favouritism around here?

:)

(The boys do get showered with love in different ways!)

Anyways, this post is to point you over to this gorgeous site on facebook: Here Kitty Kitty. Stacie, a WAHM (Work at home mom - sounds crazy if you ask me) makes beautiful retro-inspired clothing and accessories that makes other moms like myself melt with jealousy, and husbands cringe with horror, every time she hosts a Market Night sale on her website. Thank goodness that doesn't happen too often.

So the spoils for the night: A cape for my little red riding hood ($30) and a matching bag ($25)! Aren't they gorgeous? *Happy dance* I could not wait to get them in the mail.





Hop over here to see some of my (meagre in comparison!) handmade creations: Hello Dolly, Super-E (sock monkey) and Ollie the Owl.

Happy weekend!
