Purchase the pattern or buy the dress already made! (photo 3 via mingo & grace)
Allow me to introduce you to the Blake dress by mingo & grace. How stinking cute is this? As soon as I saw it I thought it would be perfect for Sister to wear for Easter (or a holiday party, special occasion, flower girl dress or just because – who needs a reason?) and I couldn’t resist. I mean, who doesn’t love a little girl in a dress? Ugh, love. You can’t tell in my photo but this dress has pockets too!
So I’ve been obsessing over my kids’ silhouettes lately. I just made two prints and framed them in our dining room and after scrolling through my Christmas Pinterest list (yes, I know it’s a little early to think about Christmas but with two November kids birthdays, I need to be prepared for Christmas gifts), I came across a beautiful silhouette ornament from Paloma’s Nest. Feeling frugal, I can’t fork over $40 for an individual ornament (although I sure would love to!) and figured there has got to be a way I can make this.
As most other new moms, I wanted to dress Monkey up for St. Patrick’s Day in some sort of green shirt. Everything I found online seemed so generic until I came across a DIY project on Pinterest. I love this shirt and best part is, you can change it to say anything you want. I had no clue about freezer paper until I found this and let me tell you, it is AMAZING.
