sew crafty

I love boutique ruffle pants and decided to make some for my little one. I bought a pattern last year and tried unsuccessfully to make them for her. I decided to give t another go and this time that they actually turned out right and she will wear them (big plus)

so here they are . . .

ideally, they would have been a bit longer. I think I will add another ruffle for some extra length but the good news is that they fit.

I also made a halter dress and will post pics once the weather warms up

I heart this

I recently purchased a necklace for myself, { okay, well it was last year, but still. } from The Vintage Pearl and I wear it almost everyday. It is so special to me because it represents my family. I chose 3 different shapes. Kaitlyn is a flower, Nicholas is a circle and Mark is a heart. Each shape represent something special.

Kaitlyn loves the necklace and has asked for one of her own ever since I got mine. So I purchased one for her as a birthday gift. I chose this one for her :

of course, it will say Kaitlyn and have her birthstone. {wink}
I am so excited to get it. I hope that she loves it.

so I stumbled upon this cool site Shey B and immediately fell in love with this

Isn't is cute? I think it would make a cute Mother's day gift {hint, hint} i have a tute on how to make one, but who I am kidding? I barely have time to tie my shoes, let alone sew something.

This one is going on my Want's List

wordless wednesday

design studio

I spend a lot of time in my design studio working. From time to time I like to daydream about what my studio would look like if I :
A) had the time to do it
B) had an unlimited budget {gotta dream big}
C) had the space ( I think that my room is about 12X14 - but feels like a 6x6)
Here are a few of my favorite inspiration rooms :

You can never go wrong with pottery barn - it makes me drool




I love these large storage tables in the middle of the room.



love the colors in this room and all the natural light

omgosh - could you imagine?



Dream big!

here are so swanky ideas for storage :

I could never keep it looking like this for long



more pottery barn (sigh)




This unit is from Ikea - I love the colors
and it's affordable (now we're talking!)



I am a huge fan of storage labeled bins



I am so using this as my inspiration for my designs studio closet

These are all so beautiful and so drool worthy . . . some day

{funny side note : my husband looked at the pic of the closet above and told me that the design studio closet looks like that but that I have to much "stuff" in there so I can't see it's true potential! hummmm, guess it's time to purge}
