Ruffle Dress

The RUFFLE DRESS!!!  I am going to go a little crazy with pictures in this post mainly because I love my little Sydney and how beautiful and sparkly her spirit is.  

Girl's Mermaid Costume- Simplicity 4043 Pattern Review

Last year, my daughter wanted a mermaid costume. Creating a mermaid costume for a 6 year old came with a couple of quandaries. 

Frozen Elsa Dress

 

The past six months in our house there has been a Frozen frenzy.  My daughter has been slightly obsessed over the movie.  She loves everything about the movie, Anna, Elsa, Olaf, etc.  But the thing she really gravitated to is the music, specifically the "Let It Go" song.  You would think everyone else in the house would be absolutely sick of hearing the song for the one billionth time. But you know what?  We really aren't.  Yes, after the 6th time in a row it can get a little trying, but my little one enjoys singing and performing, it is hard to bring a negative element into it.  Judging from the amount of videos and spoofs on YouTube, I know we are not the only ones.  I think it is safe to say that if you have a little girl between the ages of 4-12 you have seen the movie  and most likely the children are slightly obsessed. 

Peacock Felt Mask

One of my favorite parts of my daughter's halloween peacock costume was the peacock mask. It is probably because of the sequence- the more razzle dazzle the better in my book! 

Peacock Costume and Knight Costume- Halloween 2013

Halloween 2013

 I know it is a couple days away from Thanksgiving, but since I did not get this post done before Halloween this year, I gave myself until Thanksgiving to write about the kids Halloween costumes.  True to my procrastinating self, I going to squeak in my my deadline. Actually, I am really excited to share the costumes I made for my little ones. I love sewing costumes- the more theatrical the better. So I always keep my fingers crossed on what the request will be this year. When it comes to Halloween costumes, I am the genie- "your wish is my command."
