🐇⏰ THE WHITE RABBIT PURSE!!! ⏰🐇

Okay, so it’s not something I made exactly, but LOOK AT THIS THING! 😍 This is the most quintessential White Rabbit clock purse, and the best part? IT ACTUALLY WORKS! 🤣❤️

I am ridiculously excited about this one! It is the cutest addition to my Alice in Wonderland costume, and now I get to carry a little piece of Wonderland with me. 🐰✨

My costume is officially COMPLETE! 🎉 One more piece checked off the Wonderland list, and I cannot wait for y’all to see everything come together at trunk-or-treat! ♠️♥️♣️♦️

Now tell me… if you could carry one magical accessory from Wonderland, what would you choose? A working clock purse, a tiny teapot, or something completely mad? 😉🎩

Made by Brandie Update 🧵🐾

Today’s productivity report: absolutely nothing accomplished. 🤣🤣

I forgot to pick up the spray foam, so instead of working on projects, I went to dinner with my friend and my girls. Honestly, it was kinda nice to just enjoy the evening and not think about everything on my to-do list for a little while. ❤️

Meanwhile, Cookie and Milk were apparently hard at work supervising the laundry pile. As you can see, they’re taking their responsibilities about as seriously as I took mine today. 😂🐶

Unfortunately, my to-do list did not magically disappear while I was out enjoying myself!

🎩 Alice in Wonderland: We’re down to just a handful of things left, but Bell’s skirt needs to get done ASAP!

🇺🇸 Quilt of Valor: Veterans Day is only a few weeks away, and I really need to get back to this one soon. There’s still work to do if I’m going to get it finished in time!

So tomorrow, it’s back to reality, back to the projects, and hopefully a little less laundry supervision from the management team. 🤣

Be honest… what’s the one chore or project you keep putting off, even though you KNOW you need to get it done? Please tell me I’m not the only one! 😂👇

❤️♠️ Made by Brandie: Alice in Wonderland Update! 🐇🎩

Y’all, we got SO much done this weekend! 🙌 We still have a good bit left to do, but seeing all these pieces come together is getting me so excited!

👗 Costume updates: Courtney’s skirt is officially DONE! 🎉 She also finished her ears, tail, and shirt this afternoon. I got the fabric for Bell’s skirt, and we ordered Daniel a new jacket because the next size down should fit him better. We also ordered Courtney an undershirt so she can have a little more coverage at church. 😊

♠️ Decor updates: Daniel kept working on the playing card co****le boards. I didn’t realize the playing card guards were still wet, so I had to move those around a bit. 😂 We’ve decided the caterpillar will be made with foam balls, and the mushrooms are getting some spray foam to give their caps a little more structure. We also got started turning paper plates into roses! 🌹

☕ And the tea party is coming together! We have a saucer and THREE teacups, too! I’m loving how all these random pieces are slowly turning into Wonderland. ❤️

Tomorrow, Courtney is going to help me find the right material for the co****le bags, and then it’s back to checking things off the ever-growing project list!

There’s still plenty to do before trunk-or-treat, but I’m honestly so excited about how much progress we made this weekend. I have several pictures to share this time, so get ready for a little Wonderland photo dump! 📸🐇

✨ Your turn! Do you have a favorite Alice in Wonderland character, and why? Is it the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, Alice, or someone else entirely? I want to know! 👀❤️

❤️♠️ MBB Update: Alice in Wonderland is taking over! 🐇🎩

Today is definitely an Alice in Wonderland costume kinda day! We’re getting closer, and I’m starting to see everything come together. 😁

👗 Costumes:
We’re hoping to have Courtney’s skirt finished by the end of the day! Bell’s skirt fabric should arrive today, and we’ve decided on the top for her outfit. Daniel tried on his costume, and it needs a little tweaking to get the fit just right. And my clock bag has been ordered! ⏰ This one is actually supposed to keep time, so I can’t wait to see it and get the White Rabbit sewn onto it! 🐇

🍄 Decorations:
The tubes are attached, some of the mushrooms just need a little more underpainting (I think that’s the word I’m looking for 😂), and the card soldiers are getting their paint jobs.

We’ve figured out the teapot, but we still have a couple of teacups and saucers to make. The post is built; now we just need to attach the signs. The soldier co****le board is in progress, and we still have the spade tree and the door cutout left to tackle.

Are we getting a little ambitious? Maybe. 😂 Are we having fun bringing Wonderland to life? Absolutely!

I’m pretty sure by October 24th, we’re going to have a whole lot of creativity, a little chaos, and a whole lot of hearts, spades, and rabbits! ❤️♠️🐇

Now I want to hear from you! Have you ever taken on a big themed decoration project or coordinated family costumes? What was your theme, and how long did it take you to pull everything together? Tell me about it in the comments! 👇

✨ Made by Brandie Update! ✨

I’ve been a little MIA this week. I experienced a first anniversary that was a bit painful, so if I’m being honest, I’ve been dealing with a bit of depression. ❤️‍🩹 Sometimes life hits a little harder than expected, and you just have to give yourself some grace.

But behind the scenes, Wonderland is still moving forward! 🎩🐇

📦 Quite a few things have arrived in the mail, although one item had to go right back. That clock? 😂 Y’all, it was hands-down the lamest printed thing I’ve ever seen! Back it went!

🎨 We’re RE-dyeing fabric because the color came out in the wash (because apparently we needed another project within the project 🤦‍♀️).

🧵 We’ve started sewing skirt pieces, Daniel has cut the mushroom stems to size, and we’ve figured out how we’re tackling the teapot. We have flower stems and tissue paper ready to go, too!

🃏 And because apparently we weren’t making enough things already, we’ve started on GIANT playing card characters!

I’m getting SO excited watching all these pieces come together, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous. The countdown is officially ON! 🎉 One week from right now, we need to be ready!

There’s still plenty to do, but seeing the ideas turn into actual pieces makes it feel real!

💕 When you’re working on a big creative project with a deadline, are you the “I’ve got this, everything is under control!” person or the “It’s fine… everything is fine… WHY IS THERE STILL SO MUCH TO DO?!” person? 😂 Leave me your thoughts in the comments 👇

Another Quilt of Valor top is FINISHED! ❤️🤍💙

And just like that… my quilt wall is naked again! 😂 It always looks so weird when there isn’t a quilt hanging up there, but I’m super excited knowing that once Alice in Wonderland is finished, I can get back to knocking out these quilts!

And then… my NEXT quilt top project! 😍 Think watercolor, 2½-inch squares, and approximately 1,800 little squares just waiting to become something beautiful! The best part? They’re already precut and ready to go straight onto the wall. No cutting required, just all the fun of playing with color and watching the design come together!

First, though, Wonderland has my attention. ♠️♥️

🧵👇 Do you think of quilts as fabric art? Because I’m pretty sure this watercolor quilt is going to feel like painting with fabric!” 🎨

Yesterday, a few more Wonderland goodies arrived in the mail! 🎩🐇 Every little piece brings us one step closer to bringing our Alice in Wonderland vision to life for trunk-or-treat!

Unfortunately, the AC issues are still making it pretty uncomfortable in my sewing room, so instead of sewing, I worked on my instruction sheet. Not quite as exciting as watching a project come together, but progress is progress!

Today was supposed to be small group, but my ladies let me know they won’t be able to join me. So, I may use the unexpected change of plans to sew that LAST BIG SEAM on my Quilt of Valor top! 🇺🇸 I’d also like to cut more pieces for our Piece by Piece small-group quilting project in a cooler part of the house. 😂

Apparently, my projects are taking turns getting attention while my sewing room tries to become a sauna!

Tell me, crafty friends: do you prefer working on one project until it’s finished, or are you like me and juggling several projects at once? 🧵❤️

❤️ Made by Brandie: A Little Progress Goes a Long Way! ❤️

Today was another one of those days where a lot of little pieces came together! ✂️🧵

❤️ I got all the red satin playing-card pieces sewn together that I had fabric for! I still need to pick up more red fabric, and then it’s on to the black fabric for the alternating side.

🎭 We got the rest of the ready-to-wear costume pieces ordered, so that’s another thing checked off the list!

👗 Courtney’s skirt is officially underway! We got the fabric gathered and started putting things together. She still has some dyeing to do to get the stripes just the way she wants them, and we need to track down my lace and dye it to the right shade, too. There are still plenty of little details to work out, but it’s exciting to see things taking shape!

All of this while dealing with AC issues, too! 🥵 Hopefully, that gets fixed tomorrow, and we can get back to creating in a more comfortable environment.

It’s amazing how much progress you can make when you keep chipping away at a project, even when the day doesn’t go quite as planned. ❤️

Question of the day: When you’re working on a big project, are you a finish one thing before starting the next person, or a work on five things at once and hope it all comes together person? 😂 Tell me in the comments! 👇

❤️♠️ Made by Brandie: Progress, Paint & a Little Patience! 🎨🧵

Today was one of those days where I had plans to get a LOT done!

I managed to chain stitch a bunch of pieces for Bell’s skirt and cut out a whole bunch of hearts for her playing-cards on her costume before sneaking in a nap. Sometimes you just have to recharge the batteries! 😂

Then Bell and I headed to the store to pick up paint for all our cardboard and papier-mâché projects. 🎨 Wonderland is taking over, and there’s still plenty to do!

Unfortunately, my air-conditioning decided to stop cooperating, which made it a little difficult to keep going and be as productive as I had hoped. 🥵 Apparently, even the house wants to make sure I take breaks!

We still got some parts and pieces done, though, and I’ll take that as a win. Little by little, Wonderland is coming together!

Have you ever had your plans derailed by something completely out of your control? Tell me I’m not alone! 😂❤️

❤️♠️ Made by Brandie: A Little Wonderland Chaos! 🐇☕

I missed posting yesterday, but that doesn’t mean things have been quiet around here! 😂

I’ve officially started sewing for the Queen of Hearts, and while I’m not entirely sure I’m loving the direction it’s going just yet, we’re going to keep working on it and see where it takes us! 👑❤️ Sometimes you have to trust the process… even when the process has you questioning your decisions. 😉

Courtney got more papier-mâché done, and I think today we’re tackling the cardboard cutouts and figuring out how all these Wonderland pieces are going to come together for trunk-or-treat!

So yes, we’re officially in Alice in Wonderland mode over here! 🐇🍄☕🎩

The only problem? My Quilt of Valor is hanging on the wall, calling my name, and reminding me that I have other projects I desperately want to work on, too!

Is it too much to ask for three versions of myself? One to sew costumes, one to quilt, and one to handle all the other things on my ever-growing creative to-do list? 😂😂

Tell me I’m not the only one with more projects than hours in the day! What would your extra self be working on right now? 🧵❤️
