Wow.

My last post was in January.  Sorry 'bout that.

Since then, I've turned 31...

we've had numerous hospital visits with Big Man...

I've gotten LOTS of greensies orders (yay!!)...

 we have a five-year-old!...

 we went to Disney...

 and we had a lake in our front yard and a flooded basement...

And some other things happened, too, but isn't that enough for one post?? :)

I have some kind of exciting news (for me, at least).... I have my next tutorial idea.  Last night, I made a dress... FOR ME!  And it was fairly easy, is easy to adapt to your size, and is cute!  I need to get a good pic, but keep your eyes peeled! :)

Up and Coming

I'm really bad at waiting.  I just so freaking excited about stuff!  So I was going to wait till I was finished with everything, but that's just not my style. :)  So here's my first piece in my new spring collection!

Introducing...

F  is for Floral!

Now let's see how long I can keep the rest under wraps.  I think it's going to be tough. :)

Noelle got the first haircut of her life yesterday. In the car. On the road to Seaworld. Courtesy of Riley.

This fell out of her sweater when I was folding it this morning.

Oh, those blonde locks... Sigh.

Breaking...

 Clearly, I took a little blog break.  It's the crazy holiday season.  But most of all, it was due to this little guy:

 Big Man has had continued issues with breathing.  This last hospital visit, however, was for pneumonia and flu.  Ugh.  So please forgive me.  I will be back at some point.  Now sweet little guy is waking up, so I'm off. 

Hope you're all having a great Christmas season! :)

Cinderell-y, Cinderell-y!

The amazing Jess from The Adventures of Ella and Harry gave me a tip to size down my pics, and then I'd be able to post them.  Thanks, Jess!  You're a life-saver!

So here's a short post I've just had sitting, waiting for a picture...

Ariel... check!
Aurora... check!
Rapunzel... check!
Cinderella...

Check! :)

I'll Tell Ya...

Bet ya wondered where I've been, huh?  Well, we have a clash of reasons. 

First, I used up all my free photo storage here on Blogger.  Seriously... maxed it out.  So I've been trying to decide whether I suck it up and pay for additional storage or if I make a switch to wordpress...  Decisions, decisions!

Second, I've been sewing like a mad woman to prepare for my holiday clothing party and to get orders filled.  The Practical Princess dresses have been popular!  I'm pretty pumped because I love making them.  (I'd also love to post pictures here, but alas...  here's my shop if you really want to see them: greensies)

So I'm hoping to be back on the blogging horse soon!  I miss posting!  And I miss my free photo storage!!!

Rapunzel Practical Princess Dress

 The latest in the Practical Princess line-- Tangled's Rapunzel dress! 

I gotta say, I think this may be my favorite so far.  See the listing here for more pictures! :)

 This was actually my second attempt.  I tried to do the pink accents out of ribbon at first, but I was NOT a fan of how they turned out.  This not only looks better, but I like that using fabric for the pink also keeps the dress 100% cotton.  Double bonus, people. :)

And just in case I don't post before then, Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm thankful for all you readers out there!
