Monets Garden: Project Sewn Round 2

PLEASE VOTE HERE

This round was really tricky for me. I am a HUGE fan of flowers and even floral print, but I have never ever even purchased myself something floral print let alone made something. My mind always does battle with sizes of prints, colors and cuts. So, when I saw that this weeks theme was flower power I sort of panicked. Luckily I had a wonderful friend visiting who calmed me down and reassured me when I finally did make a decision (I wish we could all have a friend like that around all the time!). I decided to base my look on one of my favorite places in France, Monet’s Garden.

Pattern for the week May 2nd

I have been really wanting to make the kids all new Jammies as of late. They have such cute ones at the stores here made from gorgeous soft cottons. I thought maybe ya’ll might be in the mood for some spring jammies as well so my potterybarn jammies are on sale!

put a scarf on it: camera strap

I have been needing a new camera strap for a while. My sequin one from Camera Strap Week was starting to loose sequins at an alarming rate ha! I still wanted something feminine (sadly for my hubby who sometimes wears the camera) but also wanted it soft this time, those sequins are scratchy. I have loved the scarf camera straps I have seen all over pintrest and decided to whip one up quickly using the most gorgeous leather scraps on the ends. . .
