Retro Betty Blythe
Like I said last time it's amazing how a dress can "dramatically" changed a look! And it's so true!
This is Purple Blythe...she looks "kooky" with her pigtails and purple tights and conservative skirt!
So I created a party dress for her inspired from the 60's retro TV series "Mad Men".
I took off her pigtails and changed her eye color to salmon pink...now she's Betty Draper!
For me her new dress really made a difference and she's beautiful! Sewing her dress is not so easy I tell you, but it was worth it!
Be back soon...

It's My Party...American Retro
Hey there...well, it's show-off time! And today and I want to share with you this little party dress!
I call this "It's My Party", a creation based on my childhood dress when I was 5. The original had a flower on the waist but I added pretty buttons instead.
This is one of my favorites, so is the fabric from American Retro by Windham.
With square neckline and pleated skirt, it features 2 fabric prints.
Noticed the polka dot lining?...it does make a difference doesn't it?
...and no back zippers either, just 3 matching blue pearl button snaps!
So retro and sweet! Just perfect!
...but this one's sold last Christmas for a lucky little girl!
More next time...till later,

Lollipop Cakes
I hope you all had a great New Year's Eve 'coz for me I made sure that I had a great one!
I tried my hand at making these Lollipop Cakes or Cake Pops that's sweeping the cyber and the real world and whoever invented this (Bakerella?) is just so smart!
It's too sweet but way better than the candy lollipops that could damaged "baby tooth!!"
Anyways a friend of mine warned me that it's time consuming 'coz you have to roll them into balls one by one and it really was, but then I never have plans to turn this into another business, this was just for fun!
And my nephews gobbled them away even before the stroke of midnight!
If you want to make some for your kiddos, it's pretty easy! Just goggle "cake pop recipe" and all these cake pop sites will pop out!
And yes, it really is too sweet so I omitted the "dipped on icing" part 'coz I found out that it will harden the pops when refrigerated anyways! It's still sweet but not much, can you imagine the icing???
I can really say my cake pops ended up like...Cake Pops!
If you have a birthday party coming up soon, why not make them yourself! It's simply gratifying!
I'll be back soon...

Fun Day at the Blue Mountains!
Anyways, there's this nice little market in the Blue Mountains called The Bluebird Market, my sister heyBoom Shop and I had a stall on the weekend and it was so neat!
The handmade market was set in a vintage hotel atop a hill, overlooking a train station and downhill is the small village of Leura, "an urban village" as it's been known.
...goat's milk soaps are still my best-seller!

For now you all have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Kiki...
She's a Pom but she looks like a baby fox with those sweet sad eyes!
My favorite shot...here she's actually watching her Mom while she's cooking!
She looks like a baby lioness here...
She's such a handful! So I ask my sister..."do you have the heart to send her back?"
Enjoy your week...till later,
