A ruffle sleeve top made from Double Gauze by Kokka, bought in Japan (although I have seen it on fabricworm.com!) and the pattern is 2193 Simplicity. The lining for the top part are out of batiste and no interfacing was used. I love love love this fabric. Except I hate that it's an off white color which I never thought about till putting it on over a white shirt. It'll be nice in the summer with out anything under it.
I didn't have any small black buttons with shanks so I had to use the other kind. I can't wait to be closer to a fabric store. One place we're looking at to move (but don't really have a say in it; just thinking about places) has a Joann's and Ikea almost 2 hours away. BOO!!

New Faux Taxidermy from
DaWanda. I LOVE these so much. They have been on my wish list Forever and I finally broke down and got them. They are hanging in our hallway between bedrooms. Jon just read recently that these faux bust thingies are out of style or going out of style. Whatever!
Ava and Emily on a basket-type swing that you see in Germany a lot.
A new Washi Tape Dispenser from
etsy.
And finally, Ava cut her thumb at school. The tip finally came off and it is finally healed.
One last thing.
I was reading about Etsy and wanted to know how it got it's name. This is what I found:
(the guy who started the site) named the site Etsy because he "wanted a nonsense word because I wanted to build the brand from scratch. I was watching Fellini's 8 ½ and writing down what I was hearing. In Italian, you say 'etsi' a lot. It means 'oh, yes.' And in Latin, it means 'and if.
Pretty cool, no?
