All you have to do is call my name.... #FABsessed

Today I turn 14! When I was a baby my mom used to sing Carole Kings 'Where You Lead' to me, to get me to sleep, or just calm down. For a long time I didn't know it came from the show Gilmore Girls, as I have gotten older, that show and aspects from it have become kinda our thing.

I knew I needed something special for my birthday, I decided to go with something I think both Carole King, Lorelai Gilmore, and my mom would wear. I saw this amazing camo burn out fabric from The Fab Clique and knew it needed to become a Janis from George & Ginger.

I love the details on the sleeve of this top, and that its functional, you can adjust how long you want the sleeves to be with the ties. Also with the burn out fabric, it offers this great look, the ability to have the sleeves, but not to much added warmth, cause its already 95 here today I do not need added warmth!

The colors are rich, and quality is on point, so often burn out fabric is almost too thin, this is a super soft almost sweater knit burn out. Breathable, comfortable, and fabulous! I know all 3 ladies would love it as much as I do.

Today I am spending my birthday in my super cute outfit, at one of my favorite places- the library! I needed some new books for my trip coming up. I am reading the Witch & Wizard series by James Patterson I checked out book 2 and 3 just incase. I got the first one on a whim and LOVED it! I freaked a bit with how he ended book one, so I knew I needed both for my trip, they are hard to put down! Do you have a favorite book series? I am always looking for more books to check out, maybe the Rory in me....

Month of the Military Child GIVEAWAY!!!

This month I decided to create a little gift collection of sorts that you can win by sharing the pinned giveaway post on my Facebook page and commenting on it. Super easy to enter, but a great package I think. I am going to go into a bit more detail below with each of the 4 items in the package. This is the bear, you will be able to choose from the fabric swatches below which you would like it made out of. No two bears will be exactly alike because of the fabric that is being used, some from actual uniforms, and some that is just printed, because of the design there will be some differences. (These bears are listed on the website for sale as well if you wanted to order others) Next we have a super soft toddler/lap size blanket, you can choose either purple, blue, or black. The saying is the same on all 3, 'I am resilient, I am resolute, I am relentless, I am a Military Child', all of them are the same color on the back with tossed dandelions, the official flower of the Militar...

My love affair with Candy Castle

I have been thinking about what really set me on this path with confidence and conviction; The Peppermint Swirl . My mom saw this dress and really wanted it for my sister, the pattern was purchased in January and there it sat until march with me avoiding it. I admit I was intimidated. It looked so complicated! The above picture is the one she finally talked me into making, if you are not familiar with this dress you will not realize I completely screwed it up, it is supposed to have a swirl not ruffle look. Using my moms Facebook at the time I nervously posted in in Candy Castles group, the response was not what I expected. People LOVED it, they wanted to know how I did it... What?! This mistake started a crazy trend for a hot minute. Something else happened too though, while I had cut it wrong, I made it! I made a really cool dress that Kaylee loved and total strangers were trying to copy! ME! Alyssa Cotter at 12 did that! I kept...

George + Ginger Rival Dress

This is the pattern of the month for February over at George + Ginger Which means its on sale! I am a little later in posting this than I had originally planned but still lots of time to run over and pick it up if you love it as much as I do. This style I am wearing is a sleeveless hooded option. There is also a long, short and 3/4 sleeve, hood, neckband, or cowl neck. All feature the cool pockets on the sides. This is the pocket detail, normally the line would be cleaner and the top and folded over, but I used a couple of panels I had as the pockets so I served the top instead. This Fabric is from Skylove Creations I love the style of this one, that you can use different colors and styles of fabrics to get so many different looks, make it a more fancy, or causal, perfect for work, or like this one Comic Con!
