I have been a terrible blogger!

We all have those times where life just runs away from us. I've been doing some sewing but not much housing or thrifting.

My daughter had her 8th birthday party and I decided to make outfits for everyone's dolls. Seemed so much easier in my head!

My first prototype ended up being a shirt. I think Julie looks lovely in it.

 My second ended up being a skirt. At this point I was ready to throw in the towel. 

Eventually, I just made my own pattern and come up with these cute dresses. Sad for my little girl only two of her friends showed up. Boo for people who do not RSVP.

Dad knows how to protect his investment! hahaha

We had a rodeo last night in our house! Kit is a fabulous singer ;)

I've been working on the beds and sewing.

We are totally going to ignore the red spot on the carpet. ;)

I finally got the mattresses covered. Our 9 year old is obsessed with all things orange and she picked this fabric for her mattresses. I need to get a picture with the trundle in as well but I haven't yet. I really love the way this thrifty bed came out. The bedding is still to come.

I've been sewing and creating, trying to create fabulous designs for the dolls. Pretty soon there will be two more dolls moving in (thank goodness we made trundle beds!) and everyone will of course need some new clothes.
