Happy 4th of July!

Stay safe and dry! 

It's raining pretty bad over here, so we spent the day inside baking cookies!

What I've been working on

As many crafters, I have many projects laying around and personally I have the habits to start 2 0r 3 at the same time, so I can switch from one to other when I get bored (rarely lol)
My last completed project was assigned to me from my mother-in-law.
She bought me the pattern and all the necessary supplies to make a 4th of July outfit for my daughter Michelle.

I know it's a bit early for the 4th of July, but the colors of the outfit fits the Memorial day as well, so I saw it fitting.
Plus I really couldn't wait to show it to you....and neither could she! Do you think she likes it?

The dress is basically a t-shirt with trims and comes with a matching shoulder bags that made my daughter feels like a grown-up.
The details includes a white star applique on the front left (the side of the heart) and I used the same star design to make a hair clip since she likes to have her hair up.

I'm considering offering the design for sale in my shop, what do you think?
I see a very simple white T-shirt spiced up with bright orange and hot pink for summer times or a pink and brow theme for a....well a cupcake! lol

At the moment is available upon request for an intro price of $50. You might contact me at piccoladonna2006[at]hotmail[dot]com of thought my blog at any time if you're interested :)
