Freeze Frame

Plain bare wood frames that I stained and painted and applied a resin cross and wooden applique (both painted and finished with a high gloss coat of Cerama-Coat and applied with Gorilla Glue) and added a decorative drawer pull to the cross.  They are hanging in my kitchen on a plate rack.

Made the frames to put pictures of my kids that I edited on www.picnik.com 

and ordered the prints online from WalMart's one-hour photo.

Under his name it says "I AM the next generation"

Pillowcase Dresses (Part 2)...

So, indeed I have decided to make and sell these beautiful dresses and make a dress for The Pillowcase Project for each one I sell.  Here is one of the first dresses for two sisters ordered- I'll update with the coordinating one for "little sis" once it is finished. This is so exciting!!

Pillowcase Dresses...

The mom of a friend of mine bought a super cute dress for her 5 year old granddaughter at a hair salon for little girls as a reward for great behavior at school.  The dress is very cute, but very expensive for a 5 year old.  So, my friend brings me the dress to see if I can replicate the dress for less.  I track down my measuring tape and jot down what I'll need to take some coordinating fabric and turn it into a detailed pillowcase dress.  I didn't even take a picture of the original because the ones I made turned out just like it.  And now, the requests are rolling in, so now I am contemplating selling these gorgeous dresses... I'll keep you posted!  Here are the pics!
