Playing Dress-Up

I'm still recuperating from an insanely busy holiday season, and thought since I'm playing catch-up on my sweet lil' blog, I'd start catching you up on new items that I've made over the past several weeks!

One of my favorites is without a doubt a new American Girl dress, requested by super fabulous Etsy customer! She requested that I make this dress for her sweet little girl, customizing the color to match the dress she would be wearing on Christmas day from Gymboree:

It turned out SOOOO adorable......the pictures actually don't do it justice, as in real life the colors look richer and more vibrant. It is honestly one of my favorite new items ~ the cuteness factor is just over-the-top! ; ) Wish I could have seen them both on Christmas morning, all dressed up!!

Constructed of a beautifully rich brown satin and accented with a vibrant red sash and ribbon flower, this dress has a Velcro closure in the back, making it easy as pie to put on and off for quick wardrobe changes. =)

It really is even prettier in person. After I finished it, I was going from room to room in my house, making all of my children & my husband look at just how adorable it was! =)

All of Sweet Diva's doll clothes will fit any 18" doll, not just American Girls, and one of the top things on my to-do list this year is to add more to my shop.....anything that turns out so cute is just too fun to make!

My Doll and I.....We Match So Well!!

Happy Crafty Tuesday! =)

I'm almost finished making the most ♥adorable♥ matching pj's for a ♥sweet♥ little girl and her American Girl doll. Almost finished, because I thought I had the fasteners I needed for the back closure......but they are nowhere to be found and I can't imagine what I did with them. Maybe it wasn't me that misplaced them......perhaps it was that person known as "Not Me" ~ the same one who leaves his/her books scattered all over my sewing desk, the same one who leaves cups all over the house, the same one who leaves the wet towels on the floor. ; )

Anyway......I'll go ahead and post pics ~ because it's too cute not to ~ and, I have about 4 or 5 different projects started and not yet completed and this is the only one blog worthy at the moment. =)

I made them matching, but not identical......because every girl has to have her own style (and I thought the girl's pjs looked cuter with the three hearts)! ; )

I can't get the next two pics to post right side up....and don't know why. They're right side up on my computer, but turn sideways when I post on here. ?????

Some days are just exhausting and it's easier to face the world while lying down......I completely understand that, so I'll ~~give up~~ leave them alone and let them rest.

Now I'm off to WalMart (ew!!). I don't even like WalMart. It annoys me.....but I find sometimes it's just a necessary evil. Where else can I go and get a list full of very random items all in one place when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to run around town all afternoon? Things like dog food, rabbit food, cat litter, socks, milk, cereal, paint, paint brushes, mineral spirits, tape, binder, and printer paper. Oh, and thread.....and I hope they have the hook-and eye-fasteners I need to finish these pjs.

Random. I think it describes me well these days. Or my thoughts, anyway!!

I'm going to add chocolate to my list. They have that at WalMart, too. I've got some late nights coming my way and may need something to get me through. Chocolate. It helps!!

Raising the Cuteness Factor of a Onsie ~ Ballerina Style.....

I'm so thankful for my ♥ friends ♥ that are having babies or attending baby showers! They give me excuses to make ♥sweet♥ little baby things that I otherwise would not have any use for anymore. Because MY babies aren't babies anymore. They keep getting bigger. Despite my protests. Boo.

I made this ♥sweet♥ little ballerina onesie several weeks ago, but didn't get a chance to deliver it or visit the new arrival until this past weekend. I think I'm in love......with the baby, that is. Although I do think the onesie is adorable! I'm hereby offering my services as little Miss Olivia's official babysitter, and can't wait until she gets big enough so that I can see her in this:
