Here is one of the pictures from the recent photo shoot for the Marley Cover. Thanks to my friend, Joni, of Joni Chustz Photography, who not only took the pictures but also supplied the models. Her little girls are just adorable.

Looking forward to this weekend because I get the pleasure of babysitting for these two. Can't wait. Will be lots of fun.

How to Make Your Own Christmas Stocking - lined with with red and white microchek fabric.

You can't tell in the picture but this fabric had tiny green dots on it also by Fabric Finders and made from the Tana Tutu Dress Pattern.

Another Karen Capri Outfit

This is another outfit I made from the new epattern I'm working on. This one is a Size 1. I lined the top with the same fabric as the rest of the outfit and because of the way it is made can be worn on either side.
