Adjusting/Altering

I fell in love with the cowl vest I made for my mom but it ended up way shorter on her than she wanted it. Since I had already made the vest and she wanted it longer, I did not want to rip back and start over. That would have such a pain and so many weaved in ends... Not worth it.
But I wanted her to like it and her to want to wear it. So what to do? I picked up stitches on the cast on row and knitted a foot long rib to the bottom of the cowl vest. She loves it.
She still wants a kangaroo pouch put on the front, which I can do now. And she feels way more comfortable wearing it. Bonus all around. I will leave a link to the pattern in case you are interested and I will also share some photos we took of her in it.
I made it using Buttercream Luxe Craft Alpaca Solids Yarn in Pale Pink. It is so soft and gorgeous!!
I used about 6 balls for this. I got the same in Gray, I couldn't help myself. 
Off to my next project, PONCHO!! I'll definitely be posting about those as well!!

(Late Post) My Birthday Nails

Original Date: October 26th

 I went through a lot of different designs for these. I started with just drawing and my own art and then I remembered I had some Birthday stamping plates from Bundle Monster! :)

I definitely wanted to use my new OPI polishes my Hubby got me for my birthday.

OPI Mod About You

 (It is my new favorite pink)

OPI Charged Up Cherry

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails No Hard Feelings

Kiss silver glitter striping polish.

I also used Snow Me White from SinfulColors.

I hand painted the cupcake on my ring finger and used some ordinary loose glitter for the frosting.

Not the best but I was happy with the results :)

LOVE, love my Bundle Monster stamping plates and my new OPI colors.

Hope you enjoy.

OH. Just in case, the stamper and scraper I used were the XL black stamper from Born Pretty Store!

P.s. Not my real nails. I used Gelish Foundation gel to make them longer and thicker.
