Happy Halloween!
This year Adeline chose to be Minnie Mouse. I chose to exaggerate the scallop-edge skirt and go satin.
Cooper opted to be a super hero, so we made up Super Cooper. The most challenging part was the appliques on his chest and arm.

My Reversible Skirt is Back!
Craftzine.com featured my Reversible Skirt Project from way back in the day. So fun to see projects still being circulated and appreciated. Miss my shorter locks, but still rock my reversible skirts and red heels! You can download and sew your own reversible skirt here.

Bonnie's Thimbles
My aunt Phyllis contacted me recently to let me know that she came across a small box of my grandmother's vintage thimble collection and wanted to know if I'd be interested in acquiring them. I didn't hesitate for one minute, having no idea what beautifully intricate thimbles were coming my way. When I saw the box in the mail yesterday my heart skipped a beat and my children watched me open the little package as if a magical troll was going to appear. I was amazed at her 6-piece collection with intricately designed thimbles in varying shades of silver. One was even from a Life Insurance company. It's the little treasures in life that bring the biggest smiles to our faces - thanks Bonnie!

Little joy
Ever once in awhile you come across a fabric you just adore. To keep pattern in tact, I made a very simple dress silhouette. The detail was in the bow at the neckline. I used a powder blue velvet ribbon for a softer texture.

Bling it on!
I love to craft on the road, especially on a long family road trip. Recently I discovered the "Knitting Tower" tool. What a perfect way to pass the time while using very little brainpower. I whipped up this sweet necklace out of cashmere yarn remnants for my daughter on a recent trip. It's like a kid-friendly gold chain necklace!
