Pumpkin Pillowcase Dresses

My newest creations are pillowcase dresses.  

I make these lovely dresses with your little girl in mind.  They can be almost any design and pattern and most come with an applique.  They are great for gift giving or for your holiday dress up fun!

Sophie models this cute custom tiger print pumpkin dress. 

 Sizes come from infant to size 14.

Tiger pumpkins are great for fall, Thanksgiving and

 even for your team spirit of  Orange and Black OSU. 

Retro polka dot pumpkins are so fun and cute,

 just what your little girl needs for the fall and beyond.

Fall and winter dresses are all lined and have adjustable ties for your when your child grows.

Decorating with Placemats

Here's a look at my table decoration for thanksgiving.  I used to not use placemats but table cloths with a clear plastic vinyl cover to keep it clean.  The vinyl cover looked great for awhile but it got dirty  too fast with grandkids.  But the problem with this cloth was it just wouldn't come clean when washing it.  I tried several times to scrub and clean it.  So I bought a new one and started over, once it was dirty tried and tired to clean it, the surface looked clean but when held up to the light it still showed finger prints.

I finally gave up the idea of using the vinyl cloth and just use fabric cloths and decorations to make it look nice.  Now, my idea was to use a table runner with placemats. I like the look  here above.  Now the question I pose to you is,  are placemats for look or for use?  My daughter uses her's only for looks and I use mine for looks and use.  I want the kids to use the mat so the table cloth will stay clean longer.

Share you opinion on do you use your placemats for decoration or use them as a function to keep the table cloth clean or table clean?

Blog Advertisements

Well, I wasn't going to say anything today but then when I see my advertisement linked to my page it gets me a little frustrated.  I prefer something generic but definitely not pyschic.  After all that is not even what I believe in.  Post on my page something Christian, Jewish, non-religious but not things that I don't even believe in. 

Come on google have a brain!  I have never posted things like that!  So maybe this will generate something better for advertisements.  If not then I will delete all advertisements all together.
