EXPLODING with cuteness.

I made another dress last night, because I had to stay busy. and because I need to make THIS dress now. so here’s the latest version, using a Kona (Rich Red?) and this gorgeous organic fabric (Pick a Bunch) :  ( I think The Bean likes it) It’s my State Fair Frock, again, but this […]

random bits and bobs
