You Inspired #10!

June 6, 2013 by girlinspired 5 Comments

Hello!  Today is a very special, busy day!  My little teeny tiny baby doll is FOUR years old!  I am seriously in denial – no idea how she got so big.  And my oldest teeny tiny girl has her last day of second grade today.  It’s really too much for this mama – the whole growing up thing.

Turning Four

I’ll have to put up my sappy posts about those kiddos another day – today I want to get to our You Inspired Link Party.  I have really enjoyed popping around through the projects that you all shared in May, here.  I am really liking the fabric selections in the following two featured projects:

Featured Geranium Dress

I just love whites and neutrals and vintage–y fabrics.  This Geranium Dress by Nutta is so sweet and fresh!

Featured Roly Poly Pinafore

How pretty is this Roly Poly Pinafore from Craftstorming?  – the fabric is just made for the pinafore pattern.

And now it’s time to start sharing our projects for June!  I can’t wait to see what everyone is making!  I have been so deep in the blog conversion and fabric shopping, I’m waaayyyyy behind on blog reading.  The party will be open through June 30 – come back anytime throughout the month to link up your projects.

I would love for you to share a link back to girl. Inspired.!  Link up as many projects as you’d like within any creative niche.  Inspire us!!

You Inspired #9!

May 9, 2013 by girlinspired 9 Comments

Alrighty, creative friends!  Thursday is here and it’s time for our link party!  We’re going to try something a little different this month – I’m going to leave the link party open through the end of the month so that you can come back all month long and link up your projects and see what everyone else has been working on!  You can easily find the party through the “You Inspired” tab on my home page.  You can also find your featured projects there!  Are you getting familiar with this new layout yet?  Able to find your favorite projects?  I still have a lot of organizing to do, but I’m trying not to get too overwhelmed with my to-do list and I’m taking one little project at a time!  Thank you so much for your patience and PLEASE jump in on the comments section – I miss hearing from you!

Yesterday, I shared some Stamped Tile Coasters I think you’ll love and, there’s still time to get in on the fabric matching fun and huge pattern bundle – that giveaway ends tomorrow!

I shared some of my favorite projects from our last party a couple weeks ago, but be sure you check them out – party features here.  Also, did you catch this free women’s top pattern that Kristin from Skirt as Top shared?  Grab it!

Free Scoop Shirt Pattern
