DIY: First Collection I've Sewn

I finished my first collection of outfits! Well they aren't sized for humans but I think the dolls are happy! My daughter has a few dolls that seem to stay naked! And with me picking up sewing I thought it would be cool to make her dolls a few outfits. Here's the collection...

So whatchu think? I think I did pretty good for my first time. I took a old shirt and pair of jeans and made these three outfits. I even made a little denim purse to match the skirt. We couldn't find it for the pic. It was pretty neat. I'm glad I decided to start on doll clothes before going on to real life sized clothes. There's a lot to learn!! But I'm excited.

Next I will be working on the new arrivals clothes and blankets. I have a few patterns I bought from Jo-Ann. Wish me luck!!

New Hobby

Cyber Monday was my day to get online and find some great deals to start a new project. I've picked up sewing! And I really like it. It only makes sense right. I like clothes, I like buying clothes, I don't like to spend a bunch of money... So why not just make the things I would like to buy??

I started with little things like replacing a zipper and hemming a few things but now I want to put a whole piece of clothing together.

Not sure how many of my followers out there have a sewing machine or ever sewed anything by hand, but its kinda neat. I've been watching YT vids to get my knowledge. I mean that's where everyone goes right?? I found out I need a sewing machine (Check), I need thread (Semi-Check), and I need some determination (Check-Check). But I need patterns, more thread colors besides white and black and I host of other things. So thats where Cyber Monday came into play. I went on Joanns and few other sites to find some deals. I found a few, but not many. I used most of my time reading reviews and finding out what 6 different footers are for, which I just felt I had to have!

So I am very excited for the packages I am soon to receive. I'll talk more about the projects I plan to start later. Right now I have to "run" off to class. Not much running since im 28 weeks preggy :)  Adios!

Less Stress

Hello ladies,
One thing I must say is I LOVE nail polish. I think nail polish is one of the best accessories to wear. Its so easy to change it up. You can wear one coat of your favorite nude shade or a pop of color to enhance any outfit. I also feel its a great way to relieve stress. No seriously. If I'm having a bad day I paint my nails. I think it has to do with pampering yourself. When you 'take care' of yourself it makes you feel better (and look better too). And who doesn't love that?? What do you do to relieve stress??


With it being Fall now I had to find a nice shade for the season. I currently have on a shade of orange with a pop of metallic gray on my ring finger. Kind of Halloween-like. I went for the gray instead of the obvious choice of black. I started to design them up a bit but found I liked them just the way they were.

I'll add a picture later if you guys would like to see. Let me know. And Please comment ;)

New year, New dress

Hello ladies, and gents? The new year I approaching, and fast. I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing. But whatever it may be, I have to look fly! Lol.
Okay so like I stated in my previous post I have this dress and no idea what to wear with it. I tried it on and loved it! I ordered it online from River Island (cheerio darling). Blk and white stripes. I wore it the day it came (couldn't resist) but it didn't have that wow factor that I was looking for. So this is why I have come to you guys... Help!! Ill post the dress. What color shoes? Makeup? Tights, Leggings? Whatever u guys can think up.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Better to Give AND Receive

Hello World!
Selfish title huh? Dont tell me you didn't ONCE think about it. We all want to receive as well as give. I'm not the type to ONLY give gifts if I know I'm getting something in return. Even though an even exchange would be nice. Am I Correct??? I digress.
I'm more so talking about buying gifts for yourself. I have been doing a lot of shopping online. And with every site I see things and say "o0o that would look nice on me" or "hey that would match perfect with my (insert item here)" And the list goes on. It made me think because I'm on Hot Topic right now and they're having a BOGO 50% off sale. I haven't been to HT in a nice min. Guess I've dropped my obsession with the "dark side" of fashion. But I seen some nice colored jeans and fell in love. They're purple. I said I will get me a nice pair soon. And these are right up my alley. I want them! And the sale is reeling me in. But I need to spend this money on loved ones (sad face). Lol. No seriously. Its okay to buy myself some nice things right? I mean, whats the fun in shopping if I can't get a few items for me???

I guess that's the true meaning of xmas right? (double sad face) I guess I will delete them from my cart then. Bye Bye Purple Loves. It was nice dreaming of items to pair you with. Maybe after xmas......
