These make me squeel they are so sweet and pretty! I got the headbands in the little girl department at Target, a packet of 4 for $2.99, so they are a little bit big on Penelope, but they fit me too. I rocked the pink one the other day when I was wearing a pink …Continue Reading »

May 23, 2011 By 33 Comments
For five days anyway. Well, five days may not seem like a lot, but to me it was. I have never gone more than a few hours without sugar (in any form) since I was 12 months old. Maybe sooner, who knows when my parents starting giving me processed apple juice (aka SUGAR.) Let …Continue Reading »

I am SO proud of this little ditty. What do you think? It was my very first time sewing something other than a dress. Shorts! Oh, the doors this opens for me. Pants are next.
