Last night I attended my first National Charity League Juniors in Ventura County.  I’m so excited to be a part of a group with amazing women/moms that give back to the community.  Last year they raised $9o,0000 for the Ventura County Medical Center for Pediatric Cancer & Blood Disease Program.  This year my goals as an local business woman is to give back to my community and to volunteer.

Are you obsessed with Pinterest?!  I am and I have found some great inspirations with fashion and food.  Two of my biggest passions.  Pinterest is wher I found Mimi G, and boy am I glad!!!!  She has inspired me to pull out my sewing machine, dust it off and go back to doing some sewing projects.  Today’s post was inspired by her LBD.

I couldn’t find the pattern, so on Mother’s Day I treated myself to a trip to Joanne Fabrics.  Here is what I found.

And here is what I made.
