Sketching Prompts

I have this problem. I like to draw and doodle, but I never know what to draw or doodle. So, I found this book at Target...it's 642 ideas and space to draw said idea! how genius is that? Right up my alley. And hey, maybe a little doodle will give me inspiration for something bigger and better! So far I've drawn a "rolling pin."
Happy Sketching!

wedding bells!

I'm pretty excited about the dress I thrifted that I'll get to wear to a wedding this weekend. I don't have before images, but I basically just removed the shoulder pads, adjusted the sleeves, and made it a v-neck collar. Only 2 more weddings to go this summer and 2 baby showers. I'm sort of glad I don't have more friends...I'm broke!

Stay tuned, pigeons.

Re-FASHION time

I got this dress from the newly wed, Mrs. Katie Heilman, a while ago at a clothing swap. It fit like a potato sack dress, but potato sack dresses don't really fit curvy girls very well...so I made it into a halter! You're welcome.

Also, I will try to do something with the skirt soon! P.s. I need a tan, so I made all the pictures look antique so I don't look so pale...you're welcome again.

Currently Sewing: Burp Cloths



It's BABY time for all my lovely friends! So, I'm going to sew these burp cloths and give them out like candy at a parade.

Side Note: I've got big summer plans for some art projects. A mosaic, some paintings with plaster, and more sewing are on the agenda. We'll see what really happens:)
