Happy Easter!

I've been pretty busy this last week. With Easter approaching fast, I realized I had only one week until I had to get all three of my little ladies' Easter outfits finished! I knew I wouldn't have enough time to make three complete dresses so I decided to make a fancy skirt and embellish a t-shirt to match, and of course a new type of hair bow or headband.

For the skirt I made up my own design and did my first lined skirt. I wanted a fluffy skirt so I added some chiffon that I ruffled and attached to the lining. My little ladies loved their outfits on Easter morning. Two of them did a little modeling for me to show off their new outfits.

New Hand Stamped Necklaces

I wanted to add some pictures of some of the recent necklaces that I have done lately. All of my items are sterling silver, even down to the jump ring and chain and are handmade by me.

Sew-A-Long

I'm very excited to participate in my first Sew-A-Long! I love Pinterst and saw a beautiful girl's bedroom and from that I discovered Living with Punks blog. I love all her tutorials and saw she wanted to start a sew-a-long with an Amy Butler pattern. I love ♥ Amy Butler fabrics!!!! So this will be my first Amy Butler pattern that I've bought and am very excited to make something for me. Usually I'm either making something for my 3 little ladies, orders for my etsy shop, gifts for friends and family, or crafts for our Moms group.
The Amy Butler pattern we are making is the Cobo Halter. I will post how things are coming along. If you want to join in please follow the link to Living with Punks blog.

Womens Hair Accessories

I'd like to introduce my new line of Womens Hair Accessories. With having small children, I usually have my long bangs tied back and out of my face. I used to use the pretty clips and hairbows that I make for my girls, but only at home. So I decided to make myself clips that are cute, fashionable and do not look like little girl clips or hairbows.
Here are a few that I will be listing in my etsy store.





And here is Fall Flowers Womens Hair Clip and Pin



A beautiful hair clip and pin for women. I designed this cluster of Fall flowers to match with any browns, creams, and yellow outfits. It measures 3 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. The large flower is made up of two tones of brown, brown lace, and a glass cream pearl. The smaller flowers cluster around. Great for special occasions, family pictures, weddings, and everyday wear.
This hair clip also has a pin and can be worn on a sweater, jacket, or even a purse.

New products!

Here are a few new products coming to my store this week. I made my own three little ladies each a new shirt with a new design of my owl onesie. This time I used all Amy Butler designer fabrics (my favorite), a bigger owl and accented the wings. My girls loved them. I also made a onesie with matching shabby chic headband for my friend Amy for her niece's 1st birthday.





I also have a new hand stamped necklace design. This two disc sweet keepsake necklace is simply adorable! A name is hand stamped on a 5/8" sterling silver disc and gently hammered and textured for a unique look. Also comes with your choice of a beautiful Swarovski pearl or crystal birthstone for each disc.

My 1st Tutorial!

I follow a few craft blogs. I'm actually a craft blog junkie! I love tutorials, although I wish I had more time to actually complete even a fraction of them that I bookmark! My three little ladies keep me pretty busy but I finally put together my own tutorial. For my birthday I got a Silhouette SD and finally have found some time to get it going. I absolutely love it!


First take an old or ugly frame and spray paint it. I've had this ugly gold frame around for years and painted white, it looks great!





Next I look a piece of scrapbook paper and cut it to fit inside the frame



Then I gathered my piece of vinyl with what I wanted on the glass.



I next applied my vinyl onto the glass.



Then put it all together and here you have it!

Ballerina Birthday Bash!

All of my three little ladies have birthdays within 3 weeks of each other! It makes for one busy mama! My baby just turned 1! It's so hard to believe. My sweet Ella turned 5 the following week. My girls love ballet so I threw a Ballerina Birthday Party! Here are a few of my favorite pictures. I spent a lot of time on making all the decorations myself. But well worth a very happy 5 year old!








I made a vanity out of an old nightstand from a garage sale, adding some paint and antiqued it (my style) and my hubby added the mirror for me. For the final touches I made a little cover for my girls' existing stool (in Amy Butler fabric, of course)! My girls love it.





We made pink pearl bracelets with a I ♥ ballet charm. We had a ballerina come and held a ballet class, which all the girls loved. I used the new vanity and did all the girls' hair in buns and added a tiara which I embellished. We even played "pin the tutu on the ballerina."
