Italy Trip

Hey y’all! Sorry for not posting a whole lot. Recently I took a 
trip to Italy and went on a social media break, which was 
extremely nice. However I’m back and going to try to start posting more blogs (hopefully 🤞) 

This is was in Milan, it’s the Iconic Duomo Cathedral. It is stunning, especially at night. 
This picture was taken on my birthday. I walked around the Milan Fashion District and was able to go into Moschino and Chanel! This was a huge day for me, I bought the Moschino perfume with my money, however me and my dad (thank you Dad) went halfsies on the Chanel sunglasses I liked!  
Venice was beautiful, I actually went on a Gondola ride however, I wasn’t a huge fan personally but it was very very pretty. 
Adriatic Sea, the sand was so fine and the water was a little cold but I can say I stood in the Adriatic Sea. 
I got to see The David Statue, it was huge! There were so many people trying to get a good picture of it. 
Leaning tower of Pisa, I didn’t climb to the top, but my sister did and she said it was really pretty and a bit chilly at the top lol. 

These were taken in Rome. We walked around the Roman Forum, Palantine Hill, and got to go inside the Colosseum. The Colosseum is huge and it was really interesting to see all the different areas.  
This is in Switzerland, where we stopped for the night on the way back home. The view was gorgeous from our room. 

Well that’s all for now, 

Alyssa <3

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!
