Weekend Treasury Lovelies

So this weekend I got hooked on Etsy Treasuries. All the sorting, searching, color coordinating, and prettiness, is enough to get anyone hooked!

I just wanted to display a few of my favorite lovely things I discovered, during my crazed Treasury fun!

These purses, and basically everything her shops page, I love!

I love this picture of this ferris wheel so much. I'm loving the turquoise and yellow combo almost as much as grey and yellow!

This cake stand is amazing. I would never do it justice though.

And this picture just makes me plain happy.

Might need to seek rehab if this continues...

Meadow dress pics at the park

A couple weeks ago we took Melody to the park to get some pictures of one of the dresses I'm selling on Etsy. It's a peasant style dress. She did great, and I'm loving that she is at the age that I can get pics of her in the style of handmade dresses that I'm making!

I'm still only half way through the Nikon book for dummies (I read everything like 20 times), but i'm learning a lot and feel like i'm starting to get the hang of my camera!

So...Etsy? Yep! Posted a few 'ready to ship' dresses in this exact style! Check em' out here. This is what us advertising folks refer to as a 'soft launch'!

Wanted to take a quick break to share! Now back to sewing, I'm working to get more items up for Easter!

Reversible Jacket

Love this pattern from Bettsy Kingston pattern that I found on Etsy. I made this jacket ironically right after I got my serger, and since this is completely reversible, there were no exposed seems, so the serger got no use!


I used Anna Maria Horner's fabric from her Good Folks collection. I just love her fabric so much, having a hard time getting sick of it.



And I can't resist. Here is the little chipmunk face again. Sporting her jacket on Thanksgiving.

Minor Distraction

I'm not sure why i'm posting this. I for 1.) Don't have a single follower and 2.) am so super swamped I can hardly breath. I needed a break and just needed to buy something to get me through my day, so I came across these super cute felt flowers on Etsy.
With one click (order complete) Yay! Check them out on AMarketCollection. I'm seeing a fall jumper in Miss Melody's future! Of course by the time I get to it, it might be spring again!

BFF's

Melody loves her big brother, and Louie loves any attention he can get!

Need a name...

Tried a different twist on the smock shirt I made last weekend. I used Coordinating Amy Butler fabrics from her Midwest Modern collection, lined with Pink. Could be reversible, but i'd rather the fun pattern, then plain pink. I sewed up the side, so that in the summer, she can wear this without anything under it. Would look cute with a jean skirt, or plain colored bloomers which i'm sure I could find. I might try to make them, should be pretty simple! I'm loving this style, and will probably post it to Etsy soon. They say you should name your items that you post on Etsy. Any suggestions?

Craft Hope For Haiti

Craft for Hope is a site I stumbled upon right after disaster struck in Haiti. Craft Hope is a love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those who need them. This is such a wonderful project, and have seen the impact is has with their Etsy site, Craft Hope For Haiti.

As of the middle of last week, they have already raised just over $20,000 for Doctors Without Borders, and sold 1,155 items. As of today, they have sold over 1,400 items! I encourage you to check out the site, and share with others this wonderful mission. Not only is 100% of your dollars going to help support Haiti, you get a handmade item that was truly made with love.
