Boutique custom Fancy Nancy Euro inspired "Feliz" dress

June is the time for Graduations...my sweet little Kambria just graduated from Junior Kindergarten. Of course we had to have a fancy dress for the occasion. The "Feliz" dress pattern, is perfect for a "Fancy Nancy" dress.

Maybe you know the kind of dress I am talking about...lots of ruffles, bright colors, full of twirl, something that says, "this is a special day!"

My little girl just loves bright colors, lots of them all together in one outfit. This dress was no exception, Kambria picked out her coordinating fabrics from my fabric stash. Here is a peek at what I put together for her special day.

We decided not to wear the pettiskirt on this day, since her graduation celebration included an introduction to the "big kids" playground known as "Camelot". Kambria did not want to get her "Fancy-Nancy Pettiskirt" caught on the playground equipment. We will be shooting more pictures of this outfit with the pettiskirt in next few days.

Kambria's teacher, Miss Monica, also informed the children that they would need safe and sturdy footwear to play on "Camelot" so Kambria opted to wear her soft pink converse high tops to complete the ensemble. (Ensemble, is a fancy word for outfit!)

We will shoot more pictures for the ebay and etsy listings later in the week. If you are interested in having this dress custom made for your little girl, please contact me, as I will only be creating a few of these dresses.

I really like how the appliques turned out. They are so very detailed and coordinate nicely with the "Fancy Nancy" print fabric. I think this would make a very special Birthday dress for any little girl, especially if you were hosting a "Fancy Nancy" themed party.

I will be listing this dress custom made in sizes 2T through girls size 6x on ebay and etsy in next few days.

As many of you know, I belong to a few design groups on EBAY. I have had the opportunity to get to know some really creative people in these groups. This post highlights one of those artists who like her designs is truly "One Of A Kind"....Take a look at these pics, and you will see what I mean.

It's just too bad that my energetic German Shepard won't allow us to dress her in such a cute little outfit. I am sure my girls would love to dress her up like this!




Wouldn't this make the cutest little portrait set?

Okay, now that I have teased you with the pictures of these super cute outfits, you might be asking, " Where can I find these to purchase?"

What will we be serving for Easter Dinner at the Mistletoe Ranch? Wild Turkey Anyone???

What will we be serving for Easter Dinner at The Mistletoe Ranch?

Wild Turkey Anyone???

I came home from dropping the kids at school this morning, and this little guy was just walking around our driveway admiring the wild flowers. So I went to grab my camera...

I guess these wild turkeys must know they are safe here at the Mistletoe Ranch. They seem to not be too afraid that they might end up as the special guest at Easter Dinner.
I think that I will order a Honey baked Ham to serve for Easter Dinner. This guy looks like too much trouble to prepare.
