Im posting this on my normal blog instead of my sewing blog because this is my new sewing idea. I’ve been wanting to make some dresses for Glorianna and some skirts for me to match. Low and behold I discoverd that we do indead have a Joann’s Fabric Store just across the river! What an awesome discovery. They were having a 50% off sale and I stocked up on fabric. So now i have enough to begin my Easter sewing in which me and Glorianna will match. Now I just hope i can talk Trevor into getting some matching clothes for him and the boys. =) We could all wear the same colors. =) Ok…so that’s going a bit overboard…but i still think it would be cute.
Anyway…here’s project #1 done and out of the way….the pics aren’t very good, but it will give you the general idea. I’m hoping to get a picture of us wearing them soon. But I realize that most of these outfits are geared more towards spring, so i may have to wait a bit.
In other news…..I’ve been slowly redoing the theme in Glorianna’s bedroom. I was tired of the butterfly’s and very girly stuff that i’ve had in there for the last 3 years.
My brother and sis-in-law got their girls bunk beds, so they sold the bedroom set they had to me. =) I love it. It matches Glorianna room perfectly. My only problem was that I was wanting to do her room in Raggedy Ann and do away with the green/purple butterfly’s i had in there, without having to repaint, if possible. I already had a few Raggedy Ann dolls of my own to start off with and then I was able to find the huge ones on the bed for a really good deal off of Craigslist. So with a little more searching, i found some Raggedy Ann Material that had a light green background. I threw together a small pillow and a ribbon holder with that material and low and behold….her room is looking great and i wont have to repaint after all. Now all that’s left to do is make some curtains. I’m planning on getting some more of that same material for the curtains, so once that’s finished the room will be done. I’ve never redecorated a room so quickly in my life. =) The bedspread was one leftover from when Trevor and I redid our room. We used to have that bedspread on our bed (which is a queen and Glorianna’s is a double). But because of that i wont have to get a dustruffle. The colors in that bedspread are blue, cream and red. So it goes plenty well with the theme I was wanting.
Once I get the curtains done I’ll post a pic of those too. For now, here a bit of what i’ve gotten done so far. Glorianna now has the best looking room in the house.
