Let's turn on the juice and see what shakes loose (Project Run and Playweek 2)

The "let's turn on the juice" in my tittle is from Beetlejuice. A quote from beetle juice himself.  I thought it was funny : )

 

I had such a difficult time trying to come up with a movie theme.  I kept thinking of classic movies "Shirley Temple movies, "Gone With the Wind, The Sound of Music".  None of them seemed to work for me.  I wanted to create something Mila could wear anywhere, and out of nowhere came the idea of Beetlejuice.  I LOVE that movie, its funny and quirky and cute, plus black and

A test for Figgy

I was soooo happy to get the opportunity to test a pattern for Figgy.  I have been a big fan since I had first seen the SCIROCCO Pattern.  What a pretty dress and I just loved how the back had that cute twist.  Figgys pattern are so modern but still sweet and easy to read.  She is another one of those pattern designers whom seam to teach you a new sewing lesson with each pattern purchase.  To be honest I have just been dyeing to test a pattern!!!  I have a hard time coming up with something to sew or just seem to have to many ideas of what I would like to sew but never seem to get any of my ideas completed.  Contests and pattern testing seem to keep me on a straigt line-and I get the project done.  Well, enough about me. 
Lets talk about this new pattern.  It's called the Celestial Pullover. 

My Sunki Flip

I have been so looking forward to this months Flip This Pattern for the year long sew-along with Francessuzanne.com. This month we were asked to flip the Sunki pattern by Figgy. I have had this pattern saved in my mind for a future purchase, when Mila is a little bigger. Well a flip is the perfect excuse to pick up the pattern a little early.

Oh I love that Mila is getting a little bigger and some of my favorite patterns are fitted for her size.  This pattern at 18 months was still a little to big.  Mila is in around 6-12 months clothes.  So with this flip part of the flip was adjusting the size to fit my chubby snuggy bebe.  Yes I call her a 100 different goofy names.  My neighbors must think I am a little goofy because I am sure they could hear my high pitched baby talk all summer long with those windows open.  Fall is finally here so the windows are closed a little more often and wool works great for the season and the season to follow.  This dress I made with the softest wool blend.  I picked it up at my local Hancock Fabrics.
