My nephew Connor!
Him and my brother got into my hats,so I couldn't resist snapping a photo (or 2,or 3,okay,never mind I took a few)
I loved his expression in this photo despite the slight blur!

A dress I want to make....
Well,that I want my sister to make for me that is (I can't make a dress from just looking at a photo)!! Were going to a Williamsburg retreat around March 18th and they'll have a ball,well I wanted to have a dress for it,with out spending a lot of money ( $20 is my limit), so hopefully I'll find some fabric for a good price at joanns!
But here's the dress I saw at Sensibility.com (photo credit is due to them as well)
But here's the dress I saw at Sensibility.com (photo credit is due to them as well)
It's simple and elegant! Instead of white I was thinking of blue or a light pink (my mom says those colors look good on me,so those are what I'm going for)
It's time period is 1780's and the williamsburg retreat said costumes I think from the 1700-1800 is what will be worn! I'm thinking of having elbow length sleeves and have them like this:
But the sleeves will be really full and fabric instead of lace!
Kind of hard to explain,but I'll show photos when I'm (or my sister, we'll probably both do it) finished with the dress!
(Photo credit goes to my sister,who also made the dress my little sister in the photo is wearing)

Nice Ice
Everything got a little icy here....... :)
We got ankle deep or more snow that froze over,so you can walk on top of it,but the sun was extremely bright this today! lol, I slipped coming out of the barn ..hehehe.....
The neighbor boy came over with his ATV,so they all had fun sliding 'on top' of the snow/ice!
And this was before he decided to make a crows nest at the top!
Haha,he showed it the neighbor boy and he said we needed to get an Xbox or something,cause that's not normal!
But that's okay,cause we don't want to be normal! ;)
I hope everyone is warm and cozy,cause I don't want you to be freezing like I am (20 degrees isn't exactly pleasant,but I am greatful for a house and warm blankets )
Oh and I was wondering if I did a sort of fashion challenge each month and than choose 3 top favorites and stuff,how many of you would enter? Or would you rather do a photo challenge? I'm going to put up a poll on my sidebar to make it a little easier! :)

It's a piety I just got out of the shower,cause I was,so in the mood for a ride!
My younger brother Ethan made this awesome boat out of brush twigs and a lot of hot glue!

India inspired outfit!
While trying to figure out something classy for the modest fashion week (which I never found)\
I created myself an India inspired outfit!
Tell,me what you think,cause it looks sort of silly,but hey,my imagination was soaring today!
This outfit is:
Bright Blue T-shirt
Bright pink skirt
And a plaid purple scarf! So not really matching,but this is the results! :)
I had another photo that would be a close up,but my eyes are, so deep set (I have really deep set eyes),I look kind of well,.....evil! ;)
Yes,I am a princess and this is my castle/home
I searched google for awesome houses and here are some! I found 2 really awesome ones,but I couldn't copy them! None of theses photos are mine by the way! ;)
All 5 photos above are rental houses in NC and are like 4,00-10,000 a week I think and are already booked until the end of June (I didn't check to see if July was booked though)
I am addressing the house on the left when I say , "can any one say HELP!"
Click onthe photo to go to the link where I got this photo to see in side this totally AWESOME barn transformed into a home! Its really nice!
