Dress Up
(catch - up)
Wow, can hardly believe it is August already
...and we are now on Dress #8
for Margaret's Dress Up Challenge
over at
I'm playing catch-up
So here are my June, July and August Dresses....
June Dress - Up
June's Dress was inspired, by....you've guessed...
Alice in Wonderland
I originally had no idea what to do for June
My mojo had taken a little holiday!!
then I see an ad for the Alice in Wonderland DVD release
So that's what made the decision for June's Dress!!
Hand-Crafted from paper and lace
..a little distressing
some charms, flower and ribbon!
July Dress-Up
...with Mojo, still under a little strain!!
I dreamt of sailing away into the sunset!!
...So I went for a Nautical look for July
Hand-crafted from papersDistressed
..added a little ribbon, rope, shells and some charms.
Loved the little quote,
...which I had to rescue from Barney's mouth on a couple of occasions!! Agh!
(giving it a lovely crumpled distress look LOL!!)
August Dress- Up
I had two choices for August dress
August is the month for double celebrations for me...
My Birthday and Wedding Anniversary both fall in this month.
So I went for the Wedding Option
Hand-crafted from music paperdistressed
..added some lace, ribbon and fake pearls!
I also created a little bouquet for my blushing bride!
-oOo-
We have started to build a nice little set now!
Only 4 more dresses to go!
Here's a little peek at my collection so far

They're all exquisite Jan - I think the Alice one is my favourite though, although the wedding one is great ... then again the nautical one has Barney's added touch ... hmmmm, love them all!
Happy birthday for this month xx
All your dresses are gorgeous, every little detail fantastic. I'm having the same problem with my little girl, I spend most of the day with her dangling from my clothes cause she keeps trying to chew my trousers, dresses etc. Great fun LOL. Have a lovely evening, Tracy Evans x
All of those dresses are gorgeous! Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!

Love all your dresses! And your little guy is just too sweet! Looks like you've been having fun, busy but fun!
Lovely dresses- and Barney's little impish face is just too cute!!! He looks like he would keep you very busy!
Wow, what a great blog post!!! Starting with Barney!!! He is the sweetest little thing ever, that face is irresistable, I love seeing pics of him! Then the dresses, so dainty and perfect. The Alice dress is perfection, but I can't even pick a favorite, really nice work!
Good to see you back blogging again Jan. Lurve Barney and your dresses are incredible as usual. Sorry to say I dropped out of the Dress Up challenge, was good in the beginning but just lost the interest for it. The dresses are stunning tho and very creative.
Will eya soon.
Happy Birthday and Anniversary!!!xo
Jan, this is one great way to play catch up. I'm not sure which of these beauties I like the most, but the August one is really romantic, especially with the addition of the pearls and bouquet.
July's nautical theme is adorable and I really like how you used a bit of rope, along with shells and charms to set this beauty apart. I also like the neckline treatment. Really clever design.
One of the things that impressed me about June's dress was the pinafore overlay. Nice design.
Happy birthday and happy anniversary this month.
These are delightful, I can't choose my favorite! I love the little bouquet though and the trinkets...Great way to display your treasures!
love your dresses. I also like the hangingthing. Good idea!
Your dresses are so cute! Love the bride dress. I also love all the fun charms you've included on the dresses.
Oh Jan, your dresses are just gorgeous...they look so lovely pegged onto the line...love the little charms on your June dress too...
And Barney is adorable...who wouldn't love that little face.. glad you are back online again and happy birthday for last week :)

Your dresses are so beautiful! I still have to make mine as I am already 2 month late. I just have thought that maybe it is you to be blamed that I am late because I haven't had your dresses to inspire me! :-)
