Insta-Friday: 2

 This is where I tell you about my week in pictures.  Here we go. 

1. I got a membership at The Y.  This is my face after my first workout since Baby E was in mah belleh, the size of a blueberry.  Work it, girl.

I've been going a little crazy making bows out of the St. Louis Cardinals ribbon I got in.

I've also been working on some newborn headbands.  We decided to omit the sequin bows since they're for everyday wear. 

Baby E somehow got the strap to my tote bag over her arm and head.  That's how I wear her diaper bag.  I like to think she's a genius. 

I made some teeny bows for an order this week.  They're just about 1.5" across. 

This specimen.  You wouldn't believe the hipsters that filed out of this.  On their way to Taco Bell.  Doing weird things with their arms.  Just like a hipster.

That's all, folks!

Insta-Friday: 1

So, I'm on Instagram.  This isn't the part where I'm going to ask you to follow me (I keep my photos private since they're mostly of E).  But, I thought it would still be fun to share some with you, so I'm joining up with Life Rearranged for Insta-Friday!  Now, I'm not promising every Friday, but that's what I'm aiming for!

First, there's this.  I tripped over a baby gate several months ago and hurt my wrist.  I thought, meh, it'll get better.  And I let it go.  And then it didn't get better.  I went in and had it x-rayed and it's not a fracture, but I get to wear this for a couple weeks.  I'm 93% sure the nurse walked into the supply room and said, "What's the biggest, hugest wrist brace I can find?" because friends, this thing is huge.  And I'm possibly not wearing it right now because when I'm typing, it rubs on the laptop and makes a squeaking sound that is like fingernails down a chalkboard.  This partly explains my absence lately.  Also, please appreciate the fish face and the dirty hair and no make-up.  Just keeping it real, y'all.

Baby E (she is STILL A BABY!) had her 1 year pics last week.  I made this flair to match a purple lace pettiromper.  She was a mess for the shoot.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that she's not wailing in every pic, or at least if she is, the grandparents will find the humor in it. 

And here's another reason I've been MIA: Baby E is WALKING.  ALL OVER THE PLACE.  She doesn't even crawl anymore.  She took her first steps on her birthday and hasn't sat down since.  I have never been so tired in all my life.  Side note: she recently ditched her pink elephant lovey and decided she prefers the one I made for her.  Awww!!!  When she gets tired, she puts it over her head. And like I said, she doesn't stop walking.  She was cracking me up here!

We went to Florida to visit my in-laws and there is a little diner there with a walk-up ice cream window and we go there at least once when we're down there.  My husband's parents had their very first date there over 50 years ago.  I love this place.  And they make a mean dipped twist cone.  Yum! 

Daniel: Are you taking a picture of the floor?

Me: Um, yes.

Daniel: Why are you doing that?

Me: LOOK at him!!!

The Clovers, Part 2

As I mentioned in this post, I'm joining up with Clovers For Collins.  I shared some of our clovers here and wanted to show you a few more today!

Brandy has been getting creative with fabric:

Stacie joined the ribbon brigade:

And Dana added some sparkle:

The Clovers, Part 1

I thought I'd share with y'all some of the clovers over at Clovers For Collins.  You can read about sweet Collins here and find out why we chose clovers for him here.  We have several different cloversmiths and each one has different talents.

Amanda is handy with the crochet hook:

Dana and Carrie have their hot glue guns plugged in and ready to go:

And of course, I am also running with the ribbon crowd:

Clovers are available as hair clips and pins!

Macy Goes to the Fair Pennant Dress

I am so glad I made it through to Week 3 of One Month To Win It!  I love, love LOVE this dress and am SO glad to know many others did, too.

Let me tell you, I have been most excited about this week since we got the list of themes.  When I saw "Bunting and Banner Week", this idea immediately popped into my head!  

Start with a simple white dress and add a tiny pennant-style banner and you have:

The Macy Goes to the Fair Dress!

I am beyond excited with how this turned out!  If you're anything like me, you know that ideas in your head don't always translate well into real-life items, so when it does, it's like hitting the jackpot!

I started out with a pillowcase dress and altered the pattern to work for my idea.  I added box pleats to the neckline which make me think of a Big Top at the fair.  Then I made a mini pennant banner and trimmed the neckline with it.  I finished off the neckline and arms with bias tape I handmade.  

But of course I couldn't stop there!  I cut out approximately 1 MILLION little bitty triangles (really, about 250) and stitched on 5 rows of the tiny pennant banner to the hem of the dress.  I love it so much!

This dress is a great stash-buster project!  All the little triangles were made from my scrap bag.  The bias tape was made from fabric left over from another project.  I love using things I have on hand!

Sidenote: The whole time I was working on this dress, "Macy" kept popping up in my head.  This dress really did name itself!

You might have also noticed The Macy Bow in these pics.  I had fun with this one!  I added a few more elements than I usually do and love how it turned out. 

Next time your favorite little girl needs a dress, don't run to the store!  Go grab a pillowcase and a handful of scraps and see what you can come up with! :)

I want to add a very big thank you to my friend Cheryl from

  NC Life Photography 

for taking beautiful photos of the dress for me!  If you live in Florida and need some photography done, check her out!  She does family shoots, engagements, weddings, you name it!  We've had family photos and baby pics done with her and they have all turned out amazing!

Shabby French Ruffle Cuff/Headband

I made it through to the next round of One Month to Win It, probably by the skin of my teeth!  Here is my project submission.  Did you guess which one was mine?

I was so excited about this week's theme, cause let me tell ya, I love me some Graphics Fairy!  The biggest challenge was narrowing down which graphics to use.

I settled on some sheet music and a fleur-de-lis and got to work on my Shabby French Ruffle Cuff!

First, I printed the graphics directly onto fabric using the freezer paper technique from The Scrap Shoppe.  This was seriously SO easy!  If you have an inkjet printer and didn't know you could print on fabric, head on over and let Michele tell you how it's done.  I feel like I've been missing out!

Then I cut a strip of sheet music from the fabric and ruffled it up with my trusty sewing machine and added some lace & trim.  To make the flower embellishment, I used the fleur-de-lis to cover a button and hot glued a bit of lace to the back.  I cut out a couple flowers and inked the edges, then stacked it all up and stitched it to the cuff.  I then added a length of black satin ribbon to each end and covered the back with a bit of black felt to finish it up!  All done! :)

BUT WAIT!  You didn't think that was all, did ya?  This Shabby French Ruffle Cuff lives a secret double life as a Shabby French Ruffle HEADBAND!  Just tie it around your head and you've got an accessory that pulls her own weight!

So there you have it!  A Shabby French Ruffle Cuff/Headband!  Do you have any accessories that pull double duty?
