Hey everyone, I've been busy preparing for this season's craft fairs and our annual family photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love creating the perfect family photos. In years past I've typically gone with a color theme, but this year I went with a very specific time in history....the 20's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have spent the last couple of months looking for the perfect clothing, accessories, location, and photographer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Location</b>: <a href="http://www.starhillranch.com/">Star Hill Ranch</a>, Adam (the owner) is wonderful to work with and very laid back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Photographer</b>: <a href="http://daltoncampbell.com/">Dalton Campbell Photography</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without further ado, here is a sample of our photos. There were so many great ones, but I'm waiting until after Christmas to post those!</div>

The move to Texas is complete! We've had our housewarming party, the studio is set-up (post about that later), and my shop has been revamped.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This season I have introduced new designs and new materials.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Here are some of the new scarves in the shop:</div>

If your kids are anything like mine they love Halloween. What's not to love, candy, cookies, cupcakes, and costumes? But all the super scary stuff...well they are horrified and not in a good Halloween way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So every year I need to come up with not so scary Halloween decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I am going with a color theme: orange, purple, and lime green. Then I sprinkled in some cute jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, and cats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have added things that I have collected over the years. The glitter "Boo" sign and 2 orange glitter trees are from the dollar section at Target a few years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ghost candy dish is from Target and the jack-o-lantern candy dish and ceramic ghosts are from Hobby Lobby from several years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The fabric is just a half yard of woven Halloween jack-o-lantern fabric from Joann's. Just remove about 5 threads lengthwise to create the fringed edges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're like me and don't have time to make fabulous Halloween decorated cupcakes, just buy generic ones from the local grocery store. Add plastic spider, bat, and skull rings you can find at any dollar store to make it look not so spooky.</div>

We are slowly getting moved into our new home in Texas. I have reopened the shop, but only to clear out my summer items. Use the code "summer20" to receive 20% everything remaining in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaylorandLandon">shop</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This fall I am revamping the shop. I am going to throw in some new products and fabrics.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't wait to show you a few things I've been working on. Here are a couple pictures to give you feel for what's in store! (Please excuse the bad lighting and selfy in my unpacked closet)</div>

I've been busy with the move to Texas and really haven't had a chance to blog in the past few weeks. I have closed the shop for the next month while the family and I get settled. But I do have some news to report... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spread the word!! I still have a chance to win a category in the Seattle Magazine's Seamless in Seattle competition. All you have to do is click the link and scroll down to Accessory Designers category and highlight the circle beside "Emily Hopkins, Taylor & Landon" then hit submit. You can do from your smart phone and your computer. Not sure if you can submit everyday, but it doesn't hurt to try. Thank you to everyone that has supported my company in the past year!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.seattlemag.com/readers-choice-poll-seamless-seattle-2013">http://www.seattlemag.com/readers-choice-poll-seamless-seattle-2013</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
While you're there check out all the great designers.</div>

Sorry about the lack of posts the past few weeks. As many of you have heard I am in the process of moving back to Texas. I have been busy finishing the house remodel and selling our Washington house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that we have an offer on the house I had a couple of minutes to list some new items I've completed for the Seamless in Seattle contest. (sadly I did not win, but soon Seattle Magazine will post a link for readers to vote for their favorites)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This was made using my dear friend Ayelet's <a href="http://www.thegracefulrose.blogspot.com/2013/05/guest-post-at-h-family-happenings-and.html">tutorial </a>over at the <a href="http://www.thegracefulrose.blogspot.com/">Graceful Rose</a>. The frame is from Ikea and I used premier prints <a href="http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=21f4ca7f-dce8-4c16-9501-3442c989d8aa">Barber in yellow</a>. Since the print was super large scale and I wanted 2 birds, I actually cut one out from another area and appliqued it onto the fabric.</div>

Kids are finally out of school and the official first day of summer is just around the corner. I thought it might be a good time to briefly show you a few of the things in my shop and what's to come during summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favorite fabrics are bright and cheerful. I love when you look down at your bag, key fob, or even coaster and you just feel a little happier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Summertime is when most of us go on vacations with our family. If you're anything like me you take hundreds of photos. Why not add personality with a camera strap cover. My straps are<span class="description-content"> padded on both sides for
your comfort and fully lined. I have also added 2 small pockets for your removable lens
cap and camera memory cards. The back pocket has velcro to secure your
memory card in the strap.</span></div>

<span class="description-content">I love ice tea, margaritas, or cold diet cokes in the summer. What I don't love is a wet ring left on my furniture. </span><span class="description-content">I make my coasters with semi-hard peltex interfacing sandwiched between 2 layers of absorbent fusible fleece. That way it absorbs any moisture and keeps it's shape.</span></div>

Something new I want to add more of to my shop are foldover clutches. They are perfect to hold in your hand when folded but can hold more than you think when unfolded. There is a magnetic snap to help the clutch remain folded.<br>

Those of you that follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/TaylorandLandon">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/taylor_and_landon">Instagram</a>, or even <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TaylorandLandon">Facebook</a> have know that I've been working on a big project for Seattle Magazine's <a href="http://seattlemag.com/node/37417">Seamless in Seattle</a>. It's a contest for clothing/accessory designers in the state of Washington. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well today I submitted photos of 5 handbags/totes and 3 clutches in the hopes of winning some wonderful prizes and be included in a fashion show (although I'm not really sure how that works with bags.) I had 2 of my wonderful friends help model the bags at the beach over this past weekend. We had so much fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been keeping my designs secret until now. I would like to share with you a few of the photos that I submitted as well as brief descriptions.</div>

Hello everyone! Ayelet over at <a href="http://www.thegracefulrose.blogspot.com/2013/06/guest-post-emily-from-taylor-landon.html">The Graceful Rose </a>has asked me to guest post on her blog (how could I say no to such a sweet, creative woman?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little about me: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My name is Emily Hopkins and I grew up in the south (North Carolina to be exact). I moved to Texas in 8th grade. There I stayed for the next 18 years. I met my husband and started my family. A couple years ago we made the move to Seattle. It's been a huge adjustment, but we're making it work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a full time working mom in Texas. When I moved to Seattle I was able to stay home with my kidlets (one major reason we made the move.) But I felt I still needed a separate identity from "mom." So I started my company <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaylorandLandon">Taylor & Landon</a>. I love to sew and have been doing it since I can remember. I sell accessories, handbags, and custom window treatments. But I also make all my own costumes and vintage style clothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My blog pretty much consists of fashion, food, and sewing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For you today I'm going to share my recipe for King Ranch Chicken. I miss Tex-Mex and am always trying to recreate foods I loved to eat. Here is another tex-mex favorite: <a href="http://www.taylorandlandon1.blogspot.com/2013/03/creamy-jalapeno-ranch-dressing.html">creamy jalapeno ranch dressing</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Directions: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get your shredded chicken, use a crockpot and cook your chicken completely covered with water on high for about 6-8 hours. Use 2 forks to separate the chicken (it should just fall apart).</div>

Preheat you over to 350F. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now saute the onion in the butter in a very large pan on medium until it sweats (looks glossy)</div>

After a great week in Texas visiting family, friends, and attending a wedding I'm back to blogging in the Pacific NW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are 3 things I'm obsessed with this month:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Running Costumes. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the idea of take a well known costume and transforming it into an outfit you can run a race while wearing. This blogger has been at it for sometime:</div>

And what about these super socks? Cheap on Amazon too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Transforming a boring card table into something spectacular. </b><br />

A little late this month, but here are 3 things I'm obsessed with this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 - Somehow recently I've become addicted to owls. I found this crazy adorable one at <a href="http://www.payless.com/store/product/detail.jsp?catId=&subCatId=&skuId=133036005&productId=72748&lotId=133036&category=&catdisplayName=Women">Payless Shoe Store</a>.</div>

This past weekend I finally gave in and went wine tasting with my friend Stacey. The weather was kinda warm for the Pacific NW.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought shorts and an open back blouse would be perfect, and it was. The top combines 3 super hot trends this season: open back, with the ability to still wear a regular bra, high/low (see my <a href="http://taylorandlandon1.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-80-are-back.html">high/low modern 80's post</a>), and a bunting print.</div>

Sorry y'all...been a few weeks since my last post. Lots and lots going on here. Today I wanted to show you my kitchenette, living and dining room window treatments and briefly discuss how I made them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/94428064@N03/8705094726/" title="20130421_220744 by Taylor & Landon, on Flickr"><img alt="20130421_220744" height="168" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8259/8705094726_138d6d1519_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
Bay windows. They look nice, but are so very difficult to dress. My little windows are tiny, like 8". I extended the rod about 2" past the window opening (so 12" total length). Since the smallest you can find goes to 14-18" depending on brand, I had to have my husband hack saw the rod to length. He said it was pretty easy to do, just mark the rod and cut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=taylan-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B00004Z0IC&IS1=1&ref=qf_sp_asin_til&fc1=000000&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=FFFFFF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 240px; width: 120px;"></iframe>
<br />
The only difficult thing about making valances is you have to be extra careful all the lengths are hemmed exactly the same. If you are off by 1/4" it will be visible.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/94428064@N03/8705094532/" title="20130421_220824 by Taylor & Landon, on Flickr"><img alt="20130421_220824" height="213" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8420/8705094532_b6d92a2d31_m.jpg" width="240" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Bad picture, but shows my other problem area...a sliding glass door. I decided to make simple drapes using the full width of home decor fabrics (approx. 54"). Then hem the side, top, and bottom. I like to put at least a 4" hem at top and a 3" hem at bottom to give a professional look. I personally like to have the bottom of the drapes just brush the floor. Since the drapes need to be moved back and forth a lot, I used metal curtain ring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003DIQ70I/ref=as_li_tf_il?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003DIQ70I&linkCode=as2&tag=taylan-20"><img border="0" src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B003DIQ70I&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=taylan-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=taylan-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B003DIQ70I" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
<br />
Now for the easy windows.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/94428064@N03/8705094338/" title="20130421_221403 by Taylor & Landon, on Flickr"><img alt="20130421_221403" height="162" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8397/8705094338_270d88dda1_m.jpg" width="240" /></a>
<br />
<br />
The huge length across the entire living room. I made them exactly like the sliding glass door drapes. I placed one on each side and 2 in the center. That way we could completely close the drapes if wanted. All are unlined since I have blinds and the fabric is plenty heavy enough to hang nicely.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/94428064@N03/8704014221/" title="20130503_080050 by Taylor & Landon, on Flickr"><img alt="20130503_080050" height="240" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8704014221_d1bc593102_m.jpg" width="198" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Lastly are the formal dining room drapes. Once again I made these exactly like the living room and sliding glass door drapes, except for the following: I added a stitch 1" down from the top to give the drape a 3" pocket and fully lined with white cotton fabric. Since I added tiebacks I didn't need metal rings.<br />

So if you didn't know the little turquoise "B" to the right of my blog is a link to <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/profiles/emilyhhopkins">my Burdastyle profile</a>. If you love to sew clothing this is a great website to meet others with the same passion. Today I want to discuss one of the great things <a href="http://burdastyle.com/">Burdastyle.com</a> offers: FREE PATTERNS (yes FREE..just click the free box when searching for patterns)</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first dress I have made using a free Burdstyle pattern. It's the <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/lace-strapless-dress">lace-strapless-dress</a>. Ayelet over at The Graceful Rose has a great tutorial on how to use a PDF pattern. Follow this link: <a href="http://thegracefulrose.blogspot.com/2013/04/tutorial-thursday-how-to-work-with-pdf.html">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a really quick blurb about what changes I made to the dress. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the medium pattern. Not knowing if the dress would be too small I used
a 1/4" seam. I added a cute collar, boning at each seam, and
turned it into a halter. After adding a zipper I realized the bodice is
a little big at the bust (fits pretty good at the waist). I will had to go back and tighten at the zipper (as the collar is preventing me
from tightening anywhere else without lots of seam ripping).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lesson learned: make a muslin first and then use that as your new pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I styled it with a 3/4 arm-length sweater from Target, cute wide white belt, and flats (not seen in this photo). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now go try your hand at a pattern.</div>

Here are 3 thing I've been drooling over this month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trend of high/low shirts and dresses. I know, I know it's a little 80's. But I love how it makes your legs look just a little longer. Here's a really fun one at ModCloth.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1950's vintage style. Nothing is more awesome than a dress that really shows off an hour glass figure. A circle skirt dress cinches in at the waist and flares out to a create a beautiful shape. I found an adorable one at French Connection.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First pick your background fabric and and canvas. I used a 12x12 canvas and a <a href="http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=95b444a9-020b-47e9-9613-975c31d3ed53">gray and white chevron by Premier Prints</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then cover the canvas using hot glue gun, I just wrapped the canvas front like a present. Try to get all the wrinkles out of the fabric on the front. But if you don't, no worries because it will mostly be covered with felt flower.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now for the flower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut very simple petals out of cheap felt. You can use wool if you
like (it will look nicer). You can see from the photos what sizes the
petals for the base were (appx. 4" x 5.75"). Cut 8 of this larger size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxUYj82SVgjRV5nfsqnrTUDYkNCXq1knOtqpbs-kH3qR9-iV_RAKk3Yyk8j6tnwuG8YIolgXqaVdxnePDRL0knGy0_NV8GK4eCdqXuS_GnhZI0-96p3lbcXcsCOiv1Ap_3Mb5v9nnpHk-5/s1600/20130330_135822.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxUYj82SVgjRV5nfsqnrTUDYkNCXq1knOtqpbs-kH3qR9-iV_RAKk3Yyk8j6tnwuG8YIolgXqaVdxnePDRL0knGy0_NV8GK4eCdqXuS_GnhZI0-96p3lbcXcsCOiv1Ap_3Mb5v9nnpHk-5/s320/20130330_135822.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now simple squirt a line of glue at the bottom of the petal and pinch uniform pleats and hold until the glue has set (be careful not to burn yourself).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then find your center and place 2 petals like the photo above (leave about 1/2' in the center) and hot glue down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNQrztYJQPsoaXsDdLWPzkzO9gPOy0Aq4jBYZXdTUntzx48p_-AnQKXI5WF0JhCwB8rQSldSMEXj3Az-GA7cPYHwyrvyuU0oe8-SFzqmEV1eAQmdjK2uouGGWE6WPcljfDZkDniWMr4Db/s1600/20130330_135538.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNQrztYJQPsoaXsDdLWPzkzO9gPOy0Aq4jBYZXdTUntzx48p_-AnQKXI5WF0JhCwB8rQSldSMEXj3Az-GA7cPYHwyrvyuU0oe8-SFzqmEV1eAQmdjK2uouGGWE6WPcljfDZkDniWMr4Db/s320/20130330_135538.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Next add 2 petals perpendicular to the horizontal petals, glue down.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3M3KY_9NK6u_o7TobqRiHkb21lL8XD29GA5IByQjMySTmzNwJw8aHvTiThgpp_VGLphlE3THUGi8c2AjAIuzDsI-C4tfYNetzuOo0bd8-FC1s4WGp61kYBCl8GBmq_772GvfuKI9Ksl9O/s1600/20130330_135940.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3M3KY_9NK6u_o7TobqRiHkb21lL8XD29GA5IByQjMySTmzNwJw8aHvTiThgpp_VGLphlE3THUGi8c2AjAIuzDsI-C4tfYNetzuOo0bd8-FC1s4WGp61kYBCl8GBmq_772GvfuKI9Ksl9O/s320/20130330_135940.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then add the 4 remaining petals like so, still leaving about 1/2" diameter circle in the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now cut 8 medium petals at about 4.25" x 4.5". And do the pinch pleat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Glue these directly on top of the larger petals in a circle leaving the center circle open. It will look best if you make the medium petal points centered between the larger petals (see above.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now cut 4 small petals at about 3.25" x 4.5". Pinch pleat and glue. Sorry no picture how to place, but just once again put on top of the previous petals, leaving a small open circle.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now to make the tiny petals, make 3 at 3.25" x 3.25". Pinch, pleat, and glue. Once again, no picture. But with this one you want to kinda hide the edge of the center circle. So as you glue, tuck the ends of the petals into the circle you left open...it will be really tight. Just work it until it looks nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhviU2V2FYjRB5yP8Wql-WjX2H5Dwm7t4_pPSwpOQNW_YV5YTJ1a7LLLJC04gcW9dCk_mzSnFhJyRAOSci6UqLhN0rhHY88m45abCiPPWQBEuV3Ma2wcxhyphenhyphenvgAW6PgCf3VKRcRPIfnak4W1/s1600/20130330_142119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhviU2V2FYjRB5yP8Wql-WjX2H5Dwm7t4_pPSwpOQNW_YV5YTJ1a7LLLJC04gcW9dCk_mzSnFhJyRAOSci6UqLhN0rhHY88m45abCiPPWQBEuV3Ma2wcxhyphenhyphenvgAW6PgCf3VKRcRPIfnak4W1/s320/20130330_142119.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now make one more petal but don't pleat. Roll the petal and glue, like above. I actually cut it down after this picture, so cut this petal at about 3.25" x 2".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8c7zGG6BHnQxd5VlnXiUolbUfOS5r1NEjnZz6d8ctwgTBvDVpdPxDdCEUeUbAZqEM8L7oFx89Kb7co6RqV8Pg_HIKFJK9unXdJDzE3jmX0UKKU0WREFgrmsAuLelZ4b9cSVX2C8GJZ-kD/s1600/20130330_143052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8c7zGG6BHnQxd5VlnXiUolbUfOS5r1NEjnZz6d8ctwgTBvDVpdPxDdCEUeUbAZqEM8L7oFx89Kb7co6RqV8Pg_HIKFJK9unXdJDzE3jmX0UKKU0WREFgrmsAuLelZ4b9cSVX2C8GJZ-kD/s320/20130330_143052.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now with a dab of hot glue really shove that center petal into any space left in the center of the circle. If really difficult, use the end of a pen to push it into the hole.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4wIK9kYKirt5rhqlXA6MDwANczuW0p14cbCrsOPXl9UhCB9hqCdIkLzIKO_gpKFdJK-pwBxzms6oFIoKyyWoIDtbMMS7b2OAUEkBxb7wIIPPk8ZlqQ7VGKvV-xISfKImH3md1IZWr0eS/s1600/20130330_143046.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_4wIK9kYKirt5rhqlXA6MDwANczuW0p14cbCrsOPXl9UhCB9hqCdIkLzIKO_gpKFdJK-pwBxzms6oFIoKyyWoIDtbMMS7b2OAUEkBxb7wIIPPk8ZlqQ7VGKvV-xISfKImH3md1IZWr0eS/s320/20130330_143046.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Fluff the petals until they look like you want. Hang on the wall and enjoy your new 3D artwork!</div>

Still rainy and chilly here in the Northwest. I'm pretty much still in my winter wardrobe.</div>

The dress is my favorite from Romy. They cycle thru seasons quickly and no longer carry that dress. But <a href="http://www.romystyle.com/connie-dress/">here </a>is a new one that is very similar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sweater is a light pink cardigan from Target Merona brand. Once again another store that only has the clothing for the season. Here is a very similar one:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
The scarf is from Old Navy last spring. <a href="http://www.target.com/c/women/-/N-5xtd3/Ntk-All/Ntt-scarf/Ntx-matchallpartial+rel+E#?lnk=lnav_narrow%20by%20category_1">Target </a>and <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=scarf">Old Navy</a> always have a great selection of scarves. This one is a light jersey that I have tied in the back to create an infinity scarf.<br />
<br />
The belt is a skinny braided belt from Target; <a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-skinny-braid-tab-belt-brown/-/A-14120609#prodSlot=medium_1_12&term=braided+belt">here's the link.</a><br />
<br />
The boots are my favorite. They are the Etienne Aigner Colton Riding Boot in Dark Chestnut. The front is a brown leather while the back half of the boot is a heavy canvas in houndstooth print. I bought them at Macy's, but they are sold out. <a href="http://www.paradisefashions.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2649">Here's a link</a> to a place that still has them in stock. <br />
<br />
The leg warmers are a fun addition to the outfit that I found on an Etsy store, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GraceandLaceCo">Grace and Lace</a>. Check them out, they have lots of great products.</div>
