Saturday LBB Gallery Share

by

Hope you are having a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! A few of my favorite things this week to share!

I LOVE these flag dresses made by Becky for The CSI Project using the Sienna Dress Pattern! Let Freedom Ring!!!!



How cute is little Harlow with her LBB ladybug shorts! Glad to know that the shorts can accommodate cloth diapers! Harlow’s adorable shirt was made by her mother….she sells them in her shop Sparkle Your Kids if you want to check them out!

I love this photo of Kacey’s daughter wearing her Lil Blue Boo birthday dress! Photo by Kasi Daine – Dallas/Fort Worth Photographer

I bought a few of these Haiti Tees from Rage Against the Minivan to make into dresses. Each t-shirt purchase benefits Heartline Haiti!

I’m FINALLY finishing up the twirl skirt pattern and sending it out for testing this weekend. It should be in the shop this week…I’ll hold a giveaway to announce it sometime this week! I had some requests for adult sizes….so that’s what I’ve been working on today. It will be a pattern for almost everyone now! Kids, dolls, adults, maternity etc!


Meanwhile, if you need a project for the weekend, check out my ribbon camera strap tutorial!

Saturday LBB Gallery Share – "Found….one Godzilla"

by

Every Saturday morning around 7:30am….Boo and I go to Starbucks so Mr. LBB can sleep in. The same people are there every weekend and it’s fun to see familiar faces! She wore her LBB Father’s Day dress a little early because I am WAY behind on laundry:


This sign has been up since last weekend near the entrance….not sure why no one has claimed their Godzilla yet:

I received some photos of my new “Elephant Ear” style this week! My friend Lisa took this photo and a bunch of others at the famous Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. (Click here to see the rest of her photos!)


Photos from Michelle of Smackerals….the dress on the right is one of my favorites ever!


The sleeves are silk screened “mazes” that Boo and I did one weekend for a project:

Boo in a LBB horse racerback….it got HOT this week…110 degrees one day!


Oh, and when Boo isn’t wearing something I made…..she wears Dress Me. Liesbeth makes the cutest clothes! Here is Boo’s new dress….all the way from the Netherlands!


Hope you are having a great weekend!!!

Wedding Part VI: The Final Post

by

Remember all those posts leading up to my sister’s wedding?

Wedding Part I: Making the ring pillow, starting the flower girl dress
Wedding Part II: My grandfather’s book, my wedding, heirlooms, THE phone call
Wedding Part III: Sewing the rehearsal dresses, engagement photo shoot preview
Wedding Part IV: Finishing the flower girl dress, more engagement photos
Wedding Part V: Handmade jewelry, gift and favor bags, flip-flops and golf tees, fast food

Well, I finally have the photos from my sister’s wedding! Ash Little did an amazing job (check out his commentary on his blog here). The ceremony and reception took place at Carmel Country Club in Charlotte, NC where we grew up playing golf, swimming and celebrating every holiday and birthday. My favorite photo from the wedding……Perry swinging Boo around on the dance floor:

Before the Ceremony

Boo getting her hair done at Carmen Carmen. See the ballet dancers from the Nutcracker in the background? They entertained her the whole time!


She won’t even let me brush her hair….but she sat perfectly still to get her “flower girl” look!


Perry’s dress was SO beautiful…..and tiny……I probably could have fit ONE leg in it:


Attaching the veil:


Justin’s sister Jenny clasping the bracelet she made Perry:


Putting on Sienna’s jewelry that Jenny made:


Hide and seek:


Watching all the guests arrive:


Almost time to walk down the aisle!


Meanwhile the guys were getting ready:


Here is Justin’s dad entertaining the groomsmen with one of his card tricks:


Justin and the guys playing pool before the wedding:

The Ceremony

Sienna walked with me down the aisle….carrying pretzels in her basket:


One of my favorite photos:


Instead of walking up the aisle…..my dad brought Perry from the front and over the putting green (where my sister started golfing at the age of 3). Here he is reaching into his pocket for a golf ball which he rolled across the green…..it almost went in:


My dad is a member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews…..and one day wants his ashes walked over the Swilcan Bridge and thrown into the Road Hole Bunker…..bagpipes were required:


The vows:

The Reception

Mr. Lil Blue Boo and Boo sharing a father/daughter dance:


Boo danced the entire night as the center of attention:


Perry and Justin sharing a moment:


If you’ve never met us all….then you might not know that everyone in our family is a ham:


My sister and I are the loudest and craziest:


….and we like to drag everyone into our fun:


My dad started the train:


Perry and my dad surprised everyone by singing Rocky Top:


My brother doing the robot to Rocky Top….he’s quite the comedian:

The Details

Perry, Justin, my mother and Tim Bagwell (the family interior designer) did an amazing job putting everything together. They did everything themselves…..from putting together the centerpieces and flowers, to printing all the paper goods etc.


All the tall centerpieces were made using branches spray painted gold. Tea lights and flowers were added.




The “sweet” table: Perry spray painted different hat boxes she picked up at discount stores a robin’s egg blue and collected jars and bowls of different heights and styles.




Favor bags for the cookies and candy….decorated with the wedding logo (Emily Ley Paper designed the wedding monogram and my sister used it to print up all her labels, programs, etc):

The End of the Night


Telling my sister what to expect on her wedding night….LOL!!!


And they live happily ever after!
