minnie x2

made some minnie mouse outfits for my nieces. i think they are cute. do you? like so cute you would buy one for your little girl cute? of course the cute gals modeling them make them look even better.

because every kid wants to be a superhero...

they are already filthy from being worn every day. outfit not complete unless worn with crazy sunglasses.

no i'm not dead. just 9 months pregnant in the middle of a damn hot summer with only a swamp cooler. did i mention i already have two crazy ( but cute!) boys 3 and under. thus the lack of energy to make, thus the lack of posting. i must be nesting or something because i have sudden urge to make things. i am currently working on a super easy skirt tutorial. stay tuned... unless i have the baby , then forget about me doing anything ever again. i better hurry only 10 days to go until my due date. eek i am freaking out here.
