Mi Casa es Su Casa
People are always curious about how we live in the city. This is a brief tour of our two bedroom, one bathroom 4th floor* home which comfortably sleeps seven. It begins with the view out eight of our ten windows. Next is the master bedroom with a custom built queen size loft bed in beautiful Poplar wood. Following that is the Living/Dining/Entry, Kid's room (2 bunks, 1 crib), and the Kitchen.

Dress Design for Shabby Apple dresses II
Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses
Star is also taking on the Dare to design challenge for Shabby Apple's Spring collection:
I was thinking about the competiton and what to draw beacause I'm in cold weather mode and this is supposed to be a SPRING design. Then I remebered a shirt I saw a few days a go at Target, a tunic shirt I have, and a dress that I have, then kind of combined them. the main color/fabric is blue cotton, not really solid blue but somewhat infused with white and then at the same time, not blotchy (this is the kind of fabric used in my tunic shirt only in this case it would be a slightly darker shade). Near the bottom of the skirt there is an embroidered vine of green. I've always liked birds. They like to sing, just like me. I thought it would look so sweet. Besides, the dress was designed for the bird. The bird is a cutout in the same material as the dress except in red with a few stiches of black the for the eye. Around the collar I added a vintage-ized area (yes I just made that up) that has dark blue lace and red plastic buttons about an inch apart.
I would probably pair it with my green ballet flats and on chillier days a white long sleeve shirt underneath or a light sweater in the same shade of red as the bird and the buttons.

Dress design for Shabby Apple Dresses
Angelfish has taken up the "Dare to design" challenge for Shabby Apple's Spring collection. I'll let her speak for herself:
This dress was inspired by an orange shirtdress my Mother wears with jeans or leggings.
It's a Jersey knit dress in gray and yellow, but the belt and headband are white. The sleeves are 3/4 length.
It should be paired with yellow heels or sandals.
The longer black necklace was inspired by one my sister, Sparkle, made recently.
Even if I don't win, I hope I get to make this dress because I'm proud of it.
