Mommy made this dress...

As a kid, I use to watch my mom sew and she’d even let me help at times. I grew up hearing her say, “I use to make your dresses when you were just a little girl…they are just so easy to make.” As I got into my tween years, mom would show me how to make my dolls clothes...nothing fancy just a dress or a top/bottom piece and she was right, it was easy. Single pieces were enough for me; it felt good putting my dolls into something I made. Unfortunately, I never really stuck with sewing until recently being driven by creating something special for my baby girl. I'm 30 years old now and can honestly say that the immense love I have for my little girl has awakened a creativeness to make something for my new "doll", my daughter.   I made this dress for her a few weeks ago simply by watching a tutorial, because believe it or not, I could not remember a thing about sewing…it has only been 17-18 years ago… J

Anyhow, (since I'm a visual learner) I found these AWESOME video tutorials by Simply Annie Kate. Love her!! They are easy to follow and the best part of it is, if you missed a step, you can easily just rewind the video. J

Enjoy! Hope you find it helpful!

P.s. I’ll post the back of the dress soon…

Looky here, my first new post!

I apologize to anyone that has visited my blog in the last couple of days only to find it in a complete dis-array and a war zone. I have been doing some housekeeping on my page. I'm one of those people that is never satisfied with the way their blog looks. I am constantly tweaking colors, fonts, layouts, templates, etc. I finally got it to the way I like... And what do I do? I change it again! I found yet another template website with the coolest designs. So, I had to try it out.

I tried a few different templates & backgrounds in the last 2 days and they were nice but I was having a hard time manipulating the column sizing and colors. I need full control. (Can you say Control Freak??)

So we're back to the way my blog was up until 2 days ago. I really need to brush up on those HTML skills, and start coming up with my own designs... Hmmmm, if only I found the time!

So anyway ... here’s a list of a couple links I’ve found with cute FREE blog layouts…Enjoy!
