You know what this is?? These are tri potters from the dollar store..o realized in the store they stack perfectly!!! So that’s what I did. I’ve stacked them, inserted an old real metal rod I had down the middle and bought one of the square platforms on wheels-drilled it down and I have the perfect, rotating mobile craft/tool caddy. Hopefully this weekend I’ll get this bad boy painted!!!
Something like this I’ve seen in Hobby Lobby and Pottery Barn for $100- i made it for $10-

For the pattern of this top!

My loyalty to Seamingly Smitten - sewing patterns is no secret. I have been lucky to be a tester for 4 patterns for Jenny Lassalle Hall. These patterns are classic, with the ability for someone who has never made a piece of clothing to really follow the instructions and minimal pattern pieces, while the experienced seamstress can use the pattern as a blank slate, with limitless creative options.

There are women's and children's paths available, and more are added all the time! The best part, if you have any questions while making your piece, I'm happy to help, but your able to get a quick response from the creator herself, Jenny..

An organization craze came over me today. So after i cleaned out the kitchen cabinets and drawers, i started on my bedroom and bathroom. Then i realized if i would paint abd refinish the beautiful jewelry armoire i snagged off the Market Place a month or so ago, it would free up the room i needed and get my jewelry organized. Of course I started pretty late, and luckily I found some paint I had left over from refinishing all the bedroom furniture. Sneak peak of the Before

Started Butterick 5415 last night, and have committed to using my stash and not buy anymore. I'll have to post pictures of it for you!. It'll be finished tonight. Abd guess what this was easy!

I realized last night that's this new dress reminds me of -the dress Julia Roberts wore to the Polo match - okay it's not brown, and it didn't have ruffles but I always loved that dress. I'd say it definitely inspired what I'm making. The dark, rich color, contrasting polka dots, full gathered skirt, sleeveless and length are dead on.
Does this mean I finally have the perfect excuse and outfit to buy a rimmed hat????

Since I can not find a zipper off the shelf to match the beautiful color of the purple/ cranberry I had to order one from wawak.com. there are over 600 YKK zipper!!

MCCALL 6503 the not so easy "Very Easy" dress. This is view "C" which is the most difficult out of the 4 views. I will be writing a review once I get the zipper in (I'm sure you can see the left side the). I have about 200 zippers, all different colours and length, of course there one color I don't have is this dark eggplant and the pale pink is so pale it's almost n**e. I know if I put a zipper in that doesnt perfectly match, it'll just ruin it for me. So I've grabbed a piece of leftover fabric and will be on a zipper search at lunch tomorrow.. I have too say I do think it's turning out beautifully.
