Royal Pixie and the Thirst Project








If you follow my Facebook, or Instagram you know I am a HUGE decedents fan. Really a big fan of both Dove and Cameron, I have watched both on Disney for what seem like ever. Well with Cameron it has been, I started watching him on Jessie when I was 6, he was my first real celebrity crush. His passing before the last movie came out made its premier so emotional! Really watching him on anything still kind of is. 



Anyway Royal Pixie Custom Fabric has this great design they have been working on and added to their current preorder, they originally had a tossed coordinate with the characters and the rotten to the core apple, they have added a panel where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Thirst Project, an organization that was near and dear to Cameron's heart. I am really excited about this fabric, especially with the donation because I think the cause is incredible, I am including a little bit from their website below. 


A brief about The project from their website-

Thirst Project is a nonprofit organization that works with the support of young people to END the global water crisis by building freshwater wells in developing communities that need safe, clean drinking water. Why Water? Health and Sanitation: Waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than HIV, Malaria, and all world violence combined. Small children typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis.

By providing a community with safe drinking water, disease rates can drop by up to 88% virtually overnight! Child mortality rates can drop up to 90%- overnight! Clean water also plays an incredibly critical role in effectively treating and managing HIV/AIDS in rural communities. The Kingdom of eSwatini, for example, has the single-highest-density population of HIV/AIDS in the world. For a person with HIV/AIDS, even if you have access to medical treatment or antiretroviral medication, but are still forced to drink dirty water from contaminated sources, the diseases in the water you drink will actually kill you faster than AIDS itself.
Women and children spend on average six to eight hours each day walking to fetch water. The average distance that women and children in developing communities walk to fetch water is 3.75 miles. The time children spend collecting water keeps them from going to school and getting an education.

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!
