By ari - May 31, 2012
I will do a full recap of the Circus party later, but for now here is the costume I made my son.

Megan Nielsen: Ruched Maternity Skirt

By ari - May 23, 2012
I absolutely LOVE this skirt! I've come to the conclusion that I am far too pregnant to be wearing just over-sized tees and leggings. The waistband on leggings and jeans cut right into my abdomen even though I fit them still! I made this skirt with the Ruched Maternity Skirt pattern from Megan Nielsen.
