dress with extra length added
Lengthening a DressSo I found a really cute dress at a super great price the other day. The only problem is it is way too short! I couldn't find another one. This was too cute to pass up, so I decided I would get it anyway and fix it myself. It was very quick, very easy, and now I get to wear my dress.

young girl wearing the cowl
Grape Fizz Cluster Stitch CowlCowls are so nice, especially for kids. Why? They lose them a lot less often! :) When not looped snug around their neck, they can hang loosely and not fall off. This is an easy cluster stitch that will add nice texture to your cowl. Stay warm!

Rose Watercolor Resist Painting
Watercolor Resist PaintingI recently taught 600 kids this project at my daughter's school. It's very easy and most of the supplies are inexpensive. The kids really loved how the watercolor paints wouldn't mix with the oil pastels. They all turned out beautiful. I may have had more fun than the kids creating the samples!
