And here is one of her and my dad in the garden near my Grandma`s house where my sister lives now. When I go I usually stay there. Ton of outdoors and now is the cherry and strawberry season so we get to eat a lot of them! Summer is the best time to go.
I have not packed yet, but I thought of what I should take with me. It`s summer, thank God, so I dont have to pack the whole house with me! Just a few sundresses for me and Polina and we are good to fly! When I went through the closet I realized my little girl grew out of almost all the dresses and you know.. when you go for vacation dont you want to show off your best wardrobe? And since I dont really have time to sew that much, off I went to Target and Ross. I found some amazing dresses for under .. hm.. 5 bucks?! Yes . I love bargains. They were adorable but plain.. PLAIN.. and I decided to spice them up.. So Polina can show them off to everyone over there and over here too!I have made many picks but I will try to choose the best ones to show to you. Here they are.
I love this dress a lot. Because of the color and the girlyness of it. It is also very comfy because it`s made of knit. I added matryoushka`s prints right along the bottom... and the front of the shorts
( The matryoshka`s come from Baby Chic lovely shop )I added the string of matryoshka`s at the back of the shorts too and I love it:
So that`s one down. I also got another dress that was also plain and had lovely butterflies on them but still was missing .. "somethings " I added the lady bugs to the dress (you cant see them well but in person for some reason you can see them better):
I love the lady bug on the front of the shorts:
and at the back too:
But most of all I love the back of the dress :)
and here is the close up of the front bodice:
So that`s another one to go..and more to come :
I love Merry Poppins .. I grew up with this tale and a movie and I found an image of her flying with her umbrella.. oh how wonderful she was.. A dream nanny .. really..
So I could not resist and made sure my daughter knows her as well and wear her too on this gorgeous dress..: ( also $4.90 at Target:)
I embellished her with crystals ... She deserves to shine!
and some butterflies .. to keep her company :
Are you counting yet ?? So that`s three to go. I thought I would stop until I found this one so gorgeous but plain.. at Ross for 8 bucks. I just pictured it embellished right away and I could not resist..
I put the groovy guitar at the front and embellished it with crystals to make it fun:
and I have been fan of wings lately.. and I think they really made the dress to stand out:
Well that`s it for the dresses but we also needed some leggings too. Since we got such a groovy dresses I needed to add some groovy leggings to the wardrobe. And I made two:
One I called a "rock bum" leggings because they have rock star at on the bum :)
and at the front they feature mini rock star printing ( this one, at the front, also came from Baby Chic ):
All embellished with crystals too! Here is the close up:
And here is the last pair I made for my daughter . It has a boy and a girl at the bottom. and butterflies at the back.
He, he.. that's all :) Now I have to worry about my wardrobe.. I dont have nothing to wear..May be I should look for a few plain tank tops now and make matching tops to match my daughter? Hm .. I love this ideal!
That`s all I have been doing lately .. Getting ready to go.. I has not been taking many orders, only random here and there but just one last thing I though I would share with you. It`s t shirt I made as per customer request: "The fairy T" . Customer sent me a t shirt and asked me if I could turn it in to a fairy T and I did :
Well that`s all. And since I will be away, I wont be blogging much .. and my shop will be in vacation mode until I return:) So see you all later and thanks for stopping by!
