Tank Top Dresses and a Balancing Act...

I love this Amy Butler fabric I picked up on a girl's trip to the L.A. fashion district a couple months ago.  My only regret is that I didn't have enough for me!  To learn how to make this tank top dress click HERE.

For Tori's I added a little ruffle at the top.  I ended up gathering both ends and then adding red velvet ribbon to the top of one end.

Then I just attached it to the front side of the tank top.

I didn't get to Taylor's but I still love it without it.  Thumbs Up!

As you have noticed I haven't been posting as much as I used to .  My three month crafting spree has slowed down a lot!  I'm trying to balance crafting, blogging, cooking, reading, (napping :) hee hee), cleaning, and playing with the kiddos. Hopefully I'm not disappointing any of you! It's so hard to do everything you want to and feel good about it, you know?  I have A LOT of projects in mind and they will be coming soon but probably not everyday like before :).  Thanks for checking in!

Summer Dress For Me...

I bought this dress at Target for $6 and wanted to dress it up a little.

So I cut off an 8 inch strip of this black lace that I had.

Then I gathered it down the center.

Then I folded it in half and sewed an end together at a slight angle.

This is what it looked like with one end sewn together.  Then I pinned it to the front and sewed along the top and down the middle.

Then I added this square gold button and it's done!

For my Sister In Law...

My cute sister in law Katie is prego so I snazzled up this prego shirt for her.

I made her a bobby pin to match.  The green roses below are one clip.  I thought I'd try putting two together.
