I LOVED this color palette when I first came across it. A blend of soft greens, yellows, pinks...reminiscent of a spring day, laying on the grass, reading a great book, snacking on treats (ie. apple slices or homemade hummus) from the Farmer's Market. I told you a few days ago...I gots the Spring Fever - that's what happens when it's 80 degrees outside, so I'm dressing like it's May!
Serious issues exist here friends! I probably don't need to point them out, but I'm gonna go ahead and do it anyway. Length - I'm stepping on it and width - I'm swimming in it. I had to figure those issues out, as this fabric was simply the color palette of my dreams. There were two ties on each side of the waist that were there to pull to the back and tie into a bow which acts as an attached belt. Unfortunately the dress was too big for those to work, yet I did still want to use them, so I took them out of their sewed spots...
(with some seam ripping action, I took the ties out on both sides...)
...hemmed both sides of the dress to a perfectly fitting state and reattached those ties after taking in a few inches. (FYI - In the pic below, the seam to the way right is the original and the one to its' left is the new one I created)
And all that was left was a little length fixing! Shortened the puppy a smidge as I didn't want it to sweep the floor, but didn't want it a mini either.
The finale my friends...
BAM!! Dress that totally satiated that Spring Fever, outside in the sun, would even do yard work craving. However, when the sun went down, there was another craving I received. That one was for sugar...
So I baked some delish cupcakes (and by baked I mean bought some baawesome varieties at Crumbs Bakery) to curb my sugar fix and to celebrate my fab father's birthday! If I had time I would have baked the Chocolate Snowball (me and my dad's fave), Peanut Butter Cup, and Half Baked cupcakes myself, but I just left it to my friends at Crumbs today to save me a little bit of time :)
Birthdays are awesome just like my dad!! Happy, happy!!
