Braces are finally gone!

-


I had my living arts make up class a few days before I had my braces off so my last living arts photos with braces, and it was pop art! It all felt very fitting to me lol. 


The left is the day I got my braces put on, almost 3 years ago! I had to have dental surgery and it really delayed everything. I had to be put under and recover took days, then it took like a year to move the tooth into position. So basically forever to me! 
The right is right before they took them off, we were gonna take one at the house before we left but it was super early and we forgot. Getting them off wasn't so bad, but they first set of retainers didn't fit and we had to go back that day for a 3rd time, and honestly I was just over it! I was ready to take my chances. 


After it was finally done! This was a super long day and not the most fun I have ever had lol. I am so happy to have them off though. It has taken a few days for my mouth to get used to the retainer though and lack of braces. Its so weird after almost 3 years. 
 


Also I am really excited about another platform I am working on and will be ready to share more about it soon. I want to get it up and running before I share links but I am really excited about the direction I am taking things, I hope you will stay with me and come on the ride :)

Being a Military Child

Not everyone understands what being a Military kid is like. It is amazing and sad at the same time. I have lived in several states, been on more flights than I can count and gotten to see places people dream of vacationing. I have also had to say good bye to so many people, but  the adventure never ends.  All of this is why the round that Mandi over at  Fabriculous  made a reality is so important to me. I came to her with an idea for a small off shoot, a panel and something to go with it and she made it into a 3 color way, 2 panel option, blanket topper, mind blowing round! It is something featured on her business page, something I am seeing people rallying around and finding as beautiful as I do. Its truly a humbling and incredible feeling.  Not everyone understood the main color choices, which were requested by me, and she did add another color way for those not feeling the purple but I wanted to take a quick moment and explain why purple. Purple wasn't chos

 The  So Sweet Sweater  by candy castle with out the sleeves added on is one of my favorite tops for my sister.  Its not exactly short sleeves, but its its perfect for Hawaii winter when its not really cold cold, but breezy.  She loves the cowl, hiding part of her face, more than hoods even I think.  The fabric from  Fabriculous  was perfect for it. I love that even though this is a coordinate it can really stand alone as the focal point as well, I think this pattern demonstrates that really well, with out being a basic boring tee. Kaylee is anything but basic and boring!

Alyssa meets Steampunk, and falls in love...

Hello again everyone! Today I am going to be showing you the Boudoir Blouse, and the Paradox skirt from the Goth Collection over at  George + Ginger . These are woven patterns so measurements are critical when making them for your self of if you want to order them from me 🙂 These are very well fitted and tailored garments and they are so worth the extra time and expense.  I made this blouse with Crush Bichon Charmeuse, it has a great texture look to it. It was a super fun fabric to work with. The sleeves are a chiffon with a glitter design on it. I thought it would look great with the Brocade I picked out for my skirt.  I used snaps on mine but you could do some really cool vintage looking buttons, or gears for a more steampunk flare to it. The amazing this about this collection is how your fabric and accessory choices can really change the look so easily. I love that!  I was for sure feeling a little more steampunk when deciding my fabrics, colors, accessories and styling.  This umbr
