What To Wear in Family Photographs

I designed some pieces for my friend Amanda and her daughter, Eliza, for their family photo shoot.  She wanted the pieces to coordinate without being too matchy, and she wanted them both on stretchy headbands.  The challenge was custom fitting the piece so that Eliza did not look like she was auditioning for Sweatin' to the Oldies.  The photographs looked beautiful and, I dare say, that the headbands did as well!  Here is a good look at how it all turned out.

I love making coordinating sets for Mamas and their babies.

Baby Accessorizing

One must learn to accessorize, it is rarely known inherently. What age should one begin learning? Probably infancy.

This is a sweet headpiece I created for an even sweeter baby. Miss Avery was so precious in her baptismal tunic dress and headband, that I hatched a plan to steal her, and I am very committed to it. Whether I burgle the child or not, she will undoubtedly know how to rock the perfect accessory!

A Great Alternative to Hoarding

Upcycling is all the rage for crafters right now. For those of you who are not as fashion savvy... The concept is simply repurposing an item to make it fabulous. Crafters love it because it is environmentally and economically sound. Buyers love it because it frequently means that you are getting a one of a kind item.. I mean, how many aprons can you make out of your grandmother's lace curtain?? Items are less likely to be duplicated when materials are not commercially available.

Here is an order I did where I made items using the leftover material from a baby's nursery. So, what started as crib sheet material turned into nursery decor and matching accessories! This made for the perfect baby shower gift, meaningful and unique.
