Custom Letter

Did you think I died? Nope, I'm still here. Just keeping very busy.
Here's a great tutorial on how to customize a paper mache letter to the font of your choice, because the options at the craft store are a bit ordinary.
From Zan at Me Like Stuff. And while I was there, I also so a fun tutorial on how to customize your Chucks. But what I love is the background--the green wall with all the frames on it. Fabulous.

Lunchbox Clothing

I'm  dying for these adorable clothes from Lunchbox Clothing. Too bad they don't come in Ava's size (or soon to be size).

Cut-out Map as Art

Here are some lovely pieces from Etsy seller studiokmo. They are cut-out maps of various cities, and they translate into interesting art. Frame it and hang it on your wall. Pin It

Coven

Loving these printed chunky boots from Brazilian company Coven.
Wish I looked this sassy in a hoodie.

Lovely dress. And hair. Maybe I'll do that cut next. Would I have to wear heavy eye makeup to make it look good? I'm too low maintenance to keep that up.

Sharpie Baggies

Add these to my list of Things I'd Like to Make But May Never Get Around To. I'd start with the sewing kit bag. This is a little old, so you've probably already seen this, but it's so fun!

Summer Baby Dress

Well I seem to have lost my inspiration photo, and it's no longer online, so this is the best I can do. I saw this halter dress at Ann Taylor Loft, and recalled a similar looking pair of swim trunks in our give-away pile. So I cut off one leg and turned it into a light summer dress for Ava. Since we've just barely started having weather over 65 degrees, it took me over a month to get a nice outdoor shot of her in it.
Theirs (I wish you could see the whole dress!):
(This is the best I could find now)Mine:
