fun with denim.... i SO love plaid... and bows... and lace... and STUDS! so what a perfection combination.... i was going to put the peace sign over the lace... but after talking it over with a friend, decided that that was too predictable - ha - so i put it under the lace. i love it. i want to keep it. i'm going to keep it listed for the four months... and if it doesn't sell... it's MINE! ;-)

i like it when i find things that are too small for me anyway...

then it's not such a struggle to want to keep it.

do you struggle with wanting to keep your creations??

doilies aren't just for grandmas part II

i found this adorable wool skirt while thrifting. i've been sitting on it for a while. i finally got inspired after seeing these pins from pipinghotpapers, a/k/a, runalicerun, to sew a doily with a deer applique on it. i LOVE the way it turned out. i love brown and blue together anyway, so this was a perfect combination i think. i wish it wasn't a tad small.... yes, i would keep it! :-)

yellow....

this applique was inspired by one of my favorite coldplay songs, yellow.

"look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and everything you do... and it was all yellow."

i really like the way this one turned out, and plus it's a little bit of a bigger size. i have people sending me emails all the time asking for larger sizes. i really lucked out and found about five handmade vintage dresses this week. this is the first of those. it was just a blank canvas waiting to be turned into something unique and FUN! if it fit me, i'd be keeping this one!! that's my problem with all of my creations, i want to keep them all. does anyone else have that problem??? so i love it when i find dresses or items that are too big or too small. then there is no temptation!!

hope you're having a great weekend so far!
