thoughts… last summer i made several casual everyday type items that i wear a lot, but never actually blogged. most of them are not all that exciting, but the great thing about MMM is celebrating and showing off our makes (however humble) to a crowd that actually appreciates it. somedays i walk out the door wearing the most basic me-made items and part of me wants to go up to every stranger and be all “check it ooouuut… i MADE this t-shirt! whaaaat? how awesome am i?!” i suspect they would look at me as if i were crazy. and they should. but you guys totally get it! so yeah, i’m glad i took the plunge and signed up this year.

What cheery outfits! I like all the bright colors. I hadn’t seen your Eclair dress before, it’s gorgeous!
thanks! the eclair is one of my favorites, i just don’t have many opportunities to wear it!
Totally get it! And I’m starting to appreciate the value of cake 🙂
You had an awesome MMM week!
thanks! hopefully i can keep up with documenting it…
Great fabric choices. I have to get that cardigan pattern and your eclair is gorgeous. My husband is the one always saying – ‘see, she made that!’ so I have my own personal cheerleader!
i wear that cardigan all the time, love it! and my husband does the same thing… almost to the point of embarrassment!
Haha! Love it. And if you do ever decide to do that, can you puh-LEASE have one of your kiddos capturing it on video?? Great outfits! 🙂
