Tying up loose ends with little Miss Lily

I can't give an exact date but I can say I'm moving right along on this dress pattern… I am a little behind schedule (when am I ever ahead?) but I'm still hopeful that you will have Miss Lily at least two weeks before Easter. I finished up another sample today just in time for a photo shoot with one of my favorite models. Here are a few of the pictures of Madeline modeling Miss Lily…..You can find more picture HERE on Flickr.

PS. The boots were her idea. I'll bet you already knew that ;)

Really cute! Is it going to be as easy to sew as the Miss Madeline dress?!? If you need a tester...I'm available. :O) Love the boots!

what's wrong with the boots? Does this come with a snug or little matching (to the boots and dress) jacket?

does it come in my size?

The girls are going to look so cute in this one! And, if they had their choice, they would likely wear cowgirl boots as well.

There is so much fun fabric out there, I'm not sure where to start. Husband says to start in the stash...of course.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
