Need toothpicks......

...to hold my eyes open. I am pooped. My day was a blur. My mother-in-law took my daughter for her first mani-pedi this morning so I'd have some time to work...Sienna waited by the door for an hour in anticipation...ready with her purse, toy cell and laptop. I peeked in her purse....8 erasers, one outlet safety plug, a rubber band, a small plastic dog, and some cookie crumbs....very important stuff.

Here is some sewing I did today for the boutique tomorrow:

A peasant dress (from the Leila and Ben pattern).....


....with little black and white bows at the sleeves.


I call this one the "Sound of Music" peasant top....because I made it from some leftover drapery material. If no one buys this I am definitely keeping it for Sienna to wear this fall.


This dress was made from the scraps of 4 different t-shirts using the Sienna Dress pattern. I stenciled the stars.


I might have to keep this one too. So much for running a business.....


After everyone went to bed tonight, I painted 5,000 little dots on an assembly line of nursery paintings. 


I know I haven't visited many of you or returned emails the past couple days! I plan to catch up at the end of the week....so sorry! I don't like feeling out of touch. Thank you all so much for your nice comments and encouragement. Hope you have a great night!

    Cute! Would you mind sharing sometime what brand of paint you use for fabric stenciling? I'm having trouble finding one that isn't runny or puffy.

    Thanks!

    Love the coffee sack dress... fabric paint scares me, but i think this dress might be the ticket to help me get over it! Seriously so cute.

    Hi! You visited my blog way back in August (Caprese Salad post) and I wanted to return the visit. I just love to sew and am so glad to have found you. Although my kids are all grown and gone, I'm hoping that I can make some little one's clothes some day when my daughter has a family. I quilt A LOT though! I'll also visit your Etsy shop. I started to follow you and if you're in the mood for some recipes, please stop by again! have a lovely day in CA! Roz

    I totally bought that sweet dress pattern after seeing all the cute ways you've changed it up. I've already made two and I just started last night! Thanks so much for being willing to share your talent! I just love being able to make clothes for my girls!
