i'm 100!!! oh and some pictures :D

happy friday everyone and i was so excited to see that i have 100 FOLLOWERS today!! pretty sweet since i have been at this for only 4 months, you guys ROCK! so to show my extreme appreciate i am going to have a giveaway! so stay TUNED!!!!!! should be able to post something this weekend!!

oh and thanks for all the wonderful comments on yesterdays post!!!! it was so awesome to get all that love!!

so this past weekend we developed a roll we had rolling around in gladys so we dropped it off at walgreens and to our surprise it was pictures of the walk we went on a while back where i found that really awesome woven leather purse! the mister wasn't to happy with the results but i thought they came out great! here are a few of my favorites!

this entire block was great! we both really loved these houses that look to have been built by the same architect and maybe around the 60's...so cute!

Loved this little house too!


 this is a cactus plant in the meek estate park right by our house..it is HUGE like over 12 ft high!! i love the pink light marks on this one!


oh and i couldn't tell you what this house looked like because the ENTIRE front yard was this AMAZING garden! if i had a house with that much space that was all my very own, THIS is totally what it would look like. i told the mister as we were standing there admiring their yard, that this is the type of garden where fairy tales are made from. it looked like a place i would love to escape to and wonder around in for hours....like a secret garden.....hhhmmm that sounds so relaxing right now :)

tomorrow the mister and i are having a garage sale, yay! can't wait to clean house! and then on sunday my mom and i are going to a vintage expo!!! i can't wait! we went last year and had an AWESOME time! we went right before our wedding and the mister got his sharkskin suit and i got my wedding ring there! can't wait to show you all my treasures!!

have a fabulous weekend my dears!!

and finally...

finally i am done with my very first dress and i am extremely happy with it. i really love this 60's print, it totally makes the dress for me! i am not so crazy about the dress style it is just a very simple shift dress and i definitely need a belt for it but for my first dress i think a did a pretty good job. my sewing skills will only get better from here...i hope :D

the dress pattern is # McCall's #8720 and the original pattern calls for an invisible zipper and i did it the invisible zipper for my mock up dress abut for this one i wanted to try an exposed zipper. i like that it adds a more modern feel to the dress. 

next i am doing a skirt that i downloaded for free from www.burdastyle.com if you haven't heard of this website it is really great! people post their projects as well as any alterations they tweaked on the original pattern, super helpful! well i am off to bbq with the mister and tomorrow is sewing sunday, yay!! enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
