little indian hideaway...

last year she was little red, this year she is a little indian. and this little indian lives 5 minutes down the road by the creek. she likes to play hide-and-seek.

sometimes she comes out of her tee pee...
but quickly returns to hiding...

she is always on the lookout for cowboys...

they tend to cross the creek once in a while...

and when she doesn't see any cowboys, she squeals with happiness...

and back to hiding she goes again... 

happy halloween!

this is probably my last sewing project until i graduate. the outfit and tee pee was so much fun to make and the tee pee is much easier than i thought. it is set up in the living room now and i suspect she will want to sleep in it soon. i have some photography sessions to post in the near future.

hugs to all!

a playhousewarming party...

yeah i know i have abandoned my poor little blog. just hang in there my faithful readers, 6 more weeks and i will have more time to create and post. how about this little house? last year's christmas gift is all finished and have been played in and loved much. i invited some of my friends and k's friends for a little housewarming party of sorts.

for a party to start off on a good note, we need sweet invitations, and i found the perfect ones for this day.

and here is a view of the little house. i can't tell you how many times i hit my head on this front beam. k's friends were so kind and gave her the sweetest doll first aid kit, a fun rug for the front door, cool cups, and the delicious cupcakes below.

they played and played and played. the girls get along so well. oh and i did invite boys, just just could not make it to the party. k's friends can't be any prettier. not possible!! and each with such sweet personalities.

some vintage and wooden toys (from the playroom). just the perfect little cozy place to hide, play, and have her own little world.

a long while ago i snatched this vintage iron crib, is it perfect for this tiny house or what? i will post other pictures soon. the house is not that big, so it is hard to get a good shot sometimes.

there's even a mail box to send letters to friends!

i hope you enjoyed the tour of k's little place! we have to thank mr. handyman for the craftsmanship in building this fun place. i still need to make some little curtains and a add few more details. but that can wait a little while longer.

also thanks to melissa for such kind words! i never thought of myself as brilliant...but i gladly accept the compliments!

one a not so related note: i went to see brightstar, excellent movie! after the movie i bought a john keats poem book and am trying to read it and comprehend his words. my favorite movie quote is: "My stitching has more merit and admirers than two of your scribbles put together...and I can make money from it." perfect quote for a seamstress. 

Happy weekend!!!

the handyman...

my sweet husband (a.k.a the handyman) decided he would build something very special for k. something for the christmas child who will forever have her birthday and christmas gifts combined.  i said 1000 times i would never do that.  and we won't.  kennedy really loves being outside, but we don't have much in the three acres to entertain her.  our lot was once a huge farm so there aren't many trees around.  we have been thinking of something she would enjoy from this age forward.  a playhouse seemed like the best idea.  so the handyman went off to get the lumber and started on his wee house project.  she will have her own little place outside to play, rain or shine.  it will even have a little front porch for her to sit on.  

 

as you can see miss k is already enjoying her wee home. 

it will have a little front porch and all.  i simply can't wait to see the finished project.
