This has been a crazy busy weekend, between meeting with a new photographer, filling orders and ofcourse finishing up musical drama camp with a show! PHEW
What has been exciting is finding this artist of photography! The story goes: I was in Mardens having fabric cut and the woman cutting it said 'what are you making" I told her Super Hero capes and we started chatting. The woman beside me had a question and then told us she was the creator of a baby prop for photographers. The conversation continued...we exchanged business cards and a little over a week later I was meeting with her to share some of my items for her to use in her studio. It's a win win...I now have some beautiful photos to showcase my creations. Here are a few of the photos, after you look at them scroll down for the website of Amanda's and feel free to conatct me with any info you might need.
I am so looking forward to sharing more items with her and being able to have such great photos. if you know of a photographer who needs photo props, please have them check out my facebook page at All Dressed Up
Or tell them to come to this blog!
Also please "like" my facebook page, that we you receive all the updates info each week. (I try to post once a day...and try not to post more than that since we all have so much to read and look at as it is) All Dressed Up
Now for my photographer friend...her name is Amanda and she lives in Pittsfield. Her facebook is:
and her website is:

Well, sort of...here in Maine it has been dark and either slightly chilly or very humid for the last few days:) BUT summer is still here.
I would like to say I have some intense goal for summer, but truly...I simply want to enjoy it and maybe discover some new things about Maine? We shall see...everyone in my house hold is always busy, so I may be on my own:)
Nate headed out sailing on Tuesday and will be on the Bowdoin from Tuesday until Friday. They are coming from Portland to Castine. I drove him and two of his friends to Portland on Tuesday (3 hours) and I have to say the conversations were PRICELESS. He texted me last night and said he was doing great!
What a great adventure for him!
We had another adventure this week in car shopping:) In the end we found a car for Lauren that appears to be good on gas mileage and looks cool to drive:)
Yesterday I spent the day cleaning out MY side of the closet (Scott won't let me touch his side). I ended up with 5 bags to donate...FIVE bags! I need to finish up this afternoon by going through my shoes. I bought a shoe holder today that holds up to 18 pairs...i see getting rid of alot in my future!
And last night I finished this baby cocoon:
Have a good rest of your Thursday!

OFF WITH HER HEAD!
and hers...and hers...and his...or better known as...the scene I found when I opened up the trunk of my daughter's jeep this weekend:
Okay in fairness to her...she was going to cosmetology school, and we have decided we want to keep the heads (for now) but haven't found a storage solution for them YET.... Anyway, I took the picture, as I had forgotten they were there and it took me a bit by surprise (to say the least) and then it made me laugh...all I could think of was the Red Queen and her "Off with her head" and also the saying "if things don't straighten out around here heads are gonna roll!"
Also, around the house...THREE years ago Scott and Nate set out to make me a garden to plant perrenials in...I never got that garden...sigh... They have started completely from scratchthis year and it is almost ready for me to go in search of plants for it. I am soooo excited, and it is really beginning to shape up. This is from Saturday:
Here is a picture from the front of the house a couple of weeks ago when they had just started...it is going to be rather large!
I have been making more tutu dresses this weekend. I made an adorable cookie monster one...but it is hard to get the full effect ...just imagine the headpiece and the dress on your cute little fairy princess:
And then I made this one: (which sold today, but ofcourse I can always make another:)
I have tons of other stuff to show and tell...but that is it for tonight folks! Enjoy your Monday evening...

Fairy Princess A La Carte!
(My model is my great niece Amare)
I have been busy working on a new line of items to sell. I find myself going in so many different directions, but I have to say...I keep coming back to tutus and dress up clothes for kids. I am back at it again! Here are the items so far...each piece can be purchased seperately, in the colors and sizes of your choice. Sometimes I might not have the color in stock that you need, so remember there may be some "wait time".
Where can you purchase these items? Here...just email me at www.mePURSEnalities.com or on etsy at www.dancinglydenise.etsy.com I also have some items in a few stores, but coming directly to me, cuts out the middle man, and helps with the pricing:)
Tutus:
as you can see, they come in all kinds of colors. Choose up to 3 colors for $15.00. This price is for child sizes, but I can make them for you adults too! (Hey, everyone wants to be a princess). I can make any size, including newborn babies to use as photography props...imagine your newborn, sound asleep, laying on their belly with a little tutu on!
Or, my newest item...Tutu Dresses. Now, you do have to wear something underneathe this, as it is made completely of tulle..yards and yards of tulle! Again, I can do many different color schemes, and all sizes. 0-4T are $35.00 5T and up $40.00 (adult sizes? contact me)
Then you can add some wings: ($10.50) I don't have a great deal of these left in stock right now, but still plenty to add to your collection!
And ofcourse, no Fairy princess is complete withpout a WAND! These cute little puffs can again be made to match your tutu. $10.00 (They do contain items that could cause choking hazards PLEASE be safe!)
and then lets add a fairy crown to the ensemble $7.00
I am having sooooo much fun! Contact me with any questions:)

I woke up this morning...went out into the kitchen and saw this:
I laughed outloud...all I could think of was that the Cat In The Hat had been in my house and stacked the dirty dishes:)
Ah well...I finished the Prom Table Centerpieces for the Casion Royale theme. I will take them to the school in the morning, they are all packed up and ready to go!
I had to make 15 of them...and ran out of Boa at just the crucial moment of having almost all of them done...BUT they are now done!
Scott got the deck furniture out and both Lauren and Nate have been away working all day. My nest gets so empty:(
I baked a cake this weekend...just had the urge to bake something. i really wanted whoopie pies, but went with a chocolate cake with mocha frosting instead:
And now? I am off to grill some burgers for Scott and I:) THAT makes me very happy!
Enjoy your Sunday evening!
Dancingly, Denise
I made another baby Cocoon and though I am exhausted (bed at 3:30 up at 5:30...waiting for Lauren to get home from NYC in awful weather)...I did want to post a picture of it.
How fun is that? Elmo from Sesame Street! It is posted up on my Etsy shop also at www.dancinglydenise.etsy.com.
I am working on a DUCK now:) and some "Tickets" for the local high schools prom.
For right now though, I am going back to bed for a bit. See you soon!

Hi everyone... I celebrated my birthday this past week, along with Nate being on vacation from school. I will tell you about my birthday in a minute...but before I wanted to show you what i have been making.
They are called baby cocoons, and I am making matching hats. I unfortuneatly haven't a baby the right age to photograph in them, so i have had to use a babydoll. But she is very cooperative, although I wish I could get her to close her eyes. The Cocoons you see with the baby asleep are ADORABLE! These are mostly for photography props, but as long as you are with baby ALL the time it is a safe way to keep a baby warm. just like being wrapped in a blankie, but with a little more freedom.
My favorite is this one...it is COOKIE MONSTER...I also have Elmo, Grover,Big Bird, etc.
I have two pink ones done up:
and I have a baby blue one in the works right now...I will hopefully finish it during the Oscars tonight! Aren't the fun?
I am have an idea for them in the works with a friend of mine...I hope that we can pull it together soon to tell you about it!
My birthday...I spent the day in Augusta at lauren's school. She had a color lab that day, so I let her color my hair. It is considerably darker than it has been in years...and much closer to my natural hair color...minus the gray!
I love woopie pies and my StepMom knows it. I was lucky to get this from her for my birthday PLUS she and Nate and I ate supper out at Kosta's that night:
My mother in law makes all us girls a dishcloth each year at Christmas time. This year I was telling her that for my birthday i would like a bunch of new ones, as mine are getting really worn out...and guess what...
I was blessed first thing in the morning to have my Mom call and sing me a beautiful...albeit off key version of Happy Birthday!
All in all it was a nice...quiet birthday.
I am off to watch the Oscars! Have a great week!

well...atleast somewhat. Sorry I haven't been back here, Ihave had a stomach flu to rival no other. It truly put me in bed for Monday and Tuesday and then Wednesday I woke up with a sinus infection. It is now Saturday and though I feel better, i don't feel great, and my poor Nate has a sore throat and cough! UGH
BUT, Thursday and Friday I did work in the mess and I do feel good about where I have ended up. Now, I took these pictures BEFORE I added back in the bins of things that still need to be gone through and put away or gotten rid of. AND I am not showing you the big pile of boxes in the dining room of memorabilia from the last 20 years. My plan is to whittle it down to HALF of what is there. I can do it!
BUT, I do now have a working room. It isn't perfect, it isn't magazine ready and I still need to work on it DAILY, but here goes...remember this is what it looked like at the beginning of January:
and now I will take you around the room:
Mouse making, Fairy Jar creating and what not area:
Tools such as Sizzix machine, cricut, dies, punches, etc:
Sewing supplies (I have more, gotta decide how to "handle it"), cardstock etc:
My scrapbooking supplies...organized photos in boxes on the top and yes it bothers me that not all the boxes are blue and green! My small collection of MRS. FIELDS tins, cuz that is who I am!, My kitty on the now clean work table! and you can see a bag of fairy wings in the corner:
The iris cart wall...all those draws need to be cleaned out and purged! One thing at a time. and my Fur Friends go their bed back by the window:
The last wall:
and a view looking in the door:
The stuff under the work table? That is the bins of stuff that need to be gone through and taken care of or said good bye too!
I am not done yet, but I will tell you it was nice to have a space to make a mess yesterday while I made this:
It was a tutu I had from my dance studio days. It was too stained to sell at OLD THINGS...soooo I stained it up some more. Sewed it to a padded hanger that i tea stainned, addd some flowers and a tag and now it is a Primitive/Vintage?Shabby Chic wall hanging. It could be hung in a nursery, on a little girls wall, in your house...you get the idea:) It is now up on my Etsy at www.dancinglydenise.etsy.com. I have a pink one and a blue one in the works today. Not quite so primitive looking, but they are coming out beautiful! (I think).
Well folks, don't forget to check and see if you are the winner of the GiveAway...I will give her a week to respond, and then draw a new winner if I need to!
have a great Saturday and share with us how you organize your projects!
Dancingly, Denise
