Made our breakfast this morning with Henri in tow.
Sewing Room Secret Success Tip: Magnets
I've struggled with the best way to organize my sewing utilities for years. One thing that is for sure is that I must have them within arms length and easily accessible. I can't tell you how many times I'm searching through drawers for various sewing feet. This idea is so perfect because you can see everything all at once and you don't even have to open a drawer to put them away. Having a board like this directly next to my sewing machine would be fantastic! And hey! Those thumbtacks below are really magnets! And so is that rack!

Bicycle Frock Grosgrain Giveaway!
Oh I'm finally doing another giveaway. It's been too long. Henri's kept me quite busy. Out of all my children, he's been the most fussy. Poor baby. I think he might have stomach aches.
I modeled this dress after the Crystalline Sky Modcloth Dress that I loved. The sleeves, the neckline, the buttondown front, the empire waist. I made the v-neck a little higher since I don't like low Vs. If I had a smaller bust I might feel differently. I then added a bow belt made of ultra suede fabric, used a blue swiss dot for the bodice and royal blue for the bottom and sleeves.
The measurements of this frock are 33 waist, 34 from shoulder to hem. The belt will cinch the dress a bit. And the waist isn't the true waist but more of an empire waist.
I'll also have a special surprise after the winner is announced!
We took these pics yesterday and the weather was almost just right for an outdoor shoot. It could have been maybe 5 or 10 degrees warmer but it was still fantastic for early March and I get cold in 70 degree weather.
As I mentioned, I have a surprise for everyone once the winner for this frock is announced. I think it will be something anyone who like this piece will enjoy!

DIY Doll Suitcase
I would have loved this as a little girl. I used to make shoe boxes filled with dolls and furniture to take with me on trips. Once my mother and I went to Oregon roundtrip by train, this would have been the perfect had I been a few years younger.
