Christmas Sweaters

Yes Christmas Sweaters before Halloween :)

Aren't these the cutest sweaters ever?  I had to share them here cause I am dying over how freakin awesome they are.  Some of the buttons are even from my great grandma that I have been saving for the perfect project.

 

Here is my inspiration Pin.

So, I showed this picture to an aunt of mine that loves to crochet and asked if she could do something similar for my girls for Christmas.

I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome and I now have to restrain myself from giving them to my girls before Christmas :)

The best part?  All I had to do was buy the yarn, and then we did a trade, she picked out some bags and wallets for herself and my two cousins, trading is the best!

altered half slip for me and trades

Hanging out in Orem/Provo yesterday I purchased this cute flowery dress.

Like alot of short dresses, it was a bit too short for me. I usually will wear leggings or pants with a dress like this.

This morning before we headed out to our niece Hallie's blessing, I decided that I wanted to alter this half slip that I had picked up at the thrift store a couple weeks ago.

So I cut strips of muslin for ruffles and also added thrifted lace. So now I have a cute slip to wear under any dress that needs to be just a bit longer.


I traded for a few fun things at the Bijou Market yesterday too! These earrings are from
MD Sparks, I love her earrings! I got one other cute pair too.




And I got this cute crochet flower clip from Emily Sparks.
Trading is always fun!

Pocket People

My daughter's fourth birthday party was on Sunday and this is what she got from Mom and Dad. First let me explain that I normally don't do this much for birthdays, but I fell in love with these pocket people that Becky creates and sells in her esty store called Whosies and Whatnots. I just think they are the cutest things ever! Becky lives close by me, and she agreed to do a trade! So then I got this idea in my head that they couldn't be homeless, so I made a house for the pocket people and furniture and accessories. I will just say that when I really like something, I tend to go a bit crazy!
