Beatrice and Mama

Beatrice enjoying being an only child.

Mama looking ready for this nine month ordeal to be over.

Beatrice showing her charming little smile, the one that melts us and makes everything brighter. (and makes discipline so hard ;-)

I know I can't, but I want to anyway...

Craving:

 

 And some sake, okay?

Koko Doll!

I've been checking out Warm Sugar for a while and I love, Love, LOVE her work. Alas, I am too poor to buy it. So I made my own- well, Beatrice's own.

This is Koko:

Beatrice loves her and so do I.

Makin' Stuff

I've listed some new items in my shop for you!!

I love those cute little kids and I've got lots more to share, so stay tuned!

Etsy Dresses!

These are some that I think I would actually wear. Sometimes you see something nice, but you know it would just hang in your closet. Of course, they are too expensive for my budget...

A Winter Coat

I made this for my big girl. It was so much fun, but kinda frustrating too. I love these colors together! The blue is from a bag of scraps from Mama, the red is from some pants I wore during my college days, the lining is a dress Beatrice outgrew.

There are three snaps and it's open the rest of the way down. Only the bodice is lined. The sleeves were lined, but I took that out this morning because it was too bulky and, come on- this is South Carolina not Wisconsin. I like that the collar has a bit of puffy frill to it. It seems comfy. This is just slightly big on her now because it will be a few months yet before she wears it.
