just a lawyer adding whimsy to your day by mixing cocktails, and eating my way through vacations
In case you missed it, I grouped the three Classic Princesses–Snow White, Cinderella, & Aurora– into one post that you can find here! I did a super simple Cinderella DisneyBound, scrubbed the kitchen, and celebrated The Magic Factory as a maker of fine Minnie Ears.
So I’m super excited about this, I’ve wanted one for years (I’ve gifted it to my cousin’s crafty kid even!) Buttt… It’s super hard to even get it started, if you know a good youtube video to show me how to get the first few stitches started, send them my way! 8 days later… this is my progress so far.
