There is something about being trusted with a first birthday outfit that makes me giddy! This sweet Nana ordered this darling cupcake outfit from me for her granddaughter's first birthday. She told me what she was after and the color scheme and then gave me free reign. I love the polka dots and the cupcake! Too cute!Cupcake & Polka Dot tutu and embroidered shirt w/hair bows.

One of my good friends just had a precious baby girl.After 2 boys she was really excited to get some fun girly things!This is what I came up with to her surprise her.

These blue and brown baby blankets measure 30x40 - perfect for strollers, carseats, the park, to lay on the floor, baby swings, etc. They are also warm, but light weight! On one of these I did a decorative ball trim - which turned out adorable. Both of them have a fun, decorative top-stitch.I made these for my sister-in-law who is having a baby in March. Fold them up nice and tight, add a

I was so excited to be asked to make these adorable black & pink tutus for a dance studio in South Carolina. The little girls are just adorable! Many hours and many tutus and hair ties later... we have these super cute pictures!

I love hot pink and purple and have made quite a few with this color combo. I made this for a super cute little girl... and it happened to arrive to her on her birthday! I was so excited to hear that. She looked adorable in it.

I made this little sequin costume for my cute niece. She was Hannah Montana and it turned out quite cute. Of course she needed a cute bag that matched for all of her candy!

These turned out adorable.. for 2 adorable little girls - sisters 11 months and 2 years old.I love the pink & yellow together. And of course the pink & black turned out great.

I love when a mom (in this case an aunt) gets creative.This little girl's dad is really into super heroes and therefore has instilled thatlove for them in his daughter. So what better thing than a princess SUPER GIRL!She also added a second shirt with just the name on it. Love it!How cute is this?

There is something about pink and white and polka dots that I love!This was a custom order for a little girl's 2nd birthday celebration.I can't wait to see picture of her in it.One of my favorite things about what this mom ordered was adding a little darker of a pink to the tutu - along with the light pink and then having the thread be the darker pink!It turned out so pretty.

I recently made this for a gift for a little baby reaching 12 weeks in the womb. My sister-in-law has been waiting over 5 years for this little miracle so as each week passes I continue to pray and give thanks for this little bubbie - and I have some fun things in store for every 4 weeks that pass.

A dear friend of mine asked me to make something cute for her granddaughters. She decided on a pretty pink and white tutu with beautiful satin ribbon. The shirts say, "My big sister is Capri" and "My little sister is Madison." I think they turned out adorable. Hopefully she'll send pictures so I can post them! It was fun to make a cute little infant tutu!I also made a pink and brown tutu for

I am big on sending thank yous. But when someone does something for you that a hand-written thank you card doesn't seem like enough (which in most cases it is), I've opted for something more along the lines of a photo thank you book.My sister-in-law and her husband stayed with our kids for a week so that we could go to Mexico. In my efforts to even begin to thank them for what they did, I sent

Jaxon was required to take a traveling cubby to preschool this year and it had to be something other than a backpack. I found a mop bucket at Target for $1.99 and a few sheets of scrapbook paper, ribbon, pictures and stickers later-- this is what we came up with.Here's Jaxon on his first day of preschool with his bucket!He also had to have a folder for special assignments and notes to the

The ever so talented, Tami, and a great friend of mine crocheted this beautiful blanket for my little Miss Scarlet. It is done in a chocolate brown, bright pink and cream. It is amazing.

I finally finished the details of this little outfit. It's been patiently waiting in a stack by the sewing machine for a few months now. I love the balloon top and cap sleeves. This pattern is Simplicity 3854. I picked it up at Joann's during the 5 for $5 Simplicity pattern sale. This outfit is a little big on Scarlet, but soon enough she'll grow into it and then out of it...

I'm loving these fun shirts with the big bow back and double layer of material cuteness.I really enjoy mixing & matching material-- so this double layer shirt is the perfect opportunity. At first, I have been purchasing these shirts by an amazing lady I found through eBay (believe it or not), but now you can purchase the pattern and make them on your own!

The "grand prize winner" has a Halloween baby... which has in turn given her the nickname "BOO." We ran with that and came up with this cute little number, "Boo-tiful Princess." I sure hope she liked it! I added a couple extra things-- like a darling tote filled with some surprises!The second winner has a little princess that loves pink and purple.

I didn't realize how invested I would be in this, especially when it came time to picking a winner! I wanted everyone to win. I thought of many ways to randomly select a winner--from drawing a number out of a hat, to having my son say a number-- but decided to just let random.org decide for me! And because I had a hard enough time thinking only one would win, I let it pick two, because I am

Scarlet's outfit was a hit at Sesame Street Live today. I really had a hard time finding Elmo material-- mainly because I didn't give myself enough time to order any online and only found a limited supply at the local fabric store. For some reason this material reminded me of a clown... so I sort of went with it and added red ric-rac and cute, big, primary colored buttons.The back of the pants

I made this adorable little "coffee table" scrapbook for my friend's little boy. It was his first birthday gift and I put pictures of him from birth until age 1. Here are some of the pages I did... nothing great.... sweet and simple. There were about 30 pages, but I thought this was a nice sneak peak. The book and all of the paper and embellishments are from the Making Memories "Cheeky"

Just a little St. Patrick's Day fun.I cut out a Shamrock shape in felt and did a fun stitcharound the end in one strand of white DMC floss. I then sewed green sequin clusters inside the Shamrock.The tutu is just made out of green and white tulle and banded together.Then of course.. it just wouldn't be complete without a bracelet to match!

I'm in love with these little leg warmers. You can get them here. They are just so convenient!Some of the reasons why I think they are great are:they keep little legs warm without the inconvenience of tightseasy to take on and off it's still chilly in the mornings & evenings so I put them on at those times, but when it's 80+ during the day, I just pull them off.Scarlet can wear her spring and

I'm loving this little outfit for Scarlet... it was so easy too! Just a tank with two buttons in the back and some long bloomers. I love how it is open in the back- too cute! I added the little bows recently and thought it gave it that extra something. So fun to sew and pick out fabrics for. Simplicity pattern 9784.

I'm sad.I am suppose to take the kids to get their Easter pictures tomorrow.I can NOT find a dress for Scarlet. I've scoured the mall-- Dillard's, Macy's and Nordstroms. I even checked the other places... like Mervyn's, JCPenney's, Sears, etc. I then went to TCP, Gymboree, Pumpkin Patch, etc.Nothing.Nothing at all.I'm not saying they don't have adorable dresses. They do. But they all seem so

I think I like this for a Birthday Dress.What do you think?Scarlet's birthday is basically going to be pink and brown and cupcakes. (I think I'm holding off on the princess stuff this time around).I found this dress at Forget Me Not Kids. And if you enter coupon code LETOP, you get an additional !5% off and free shipping!I love the lace , footless tights. I 'm going to get those for sure!

I love these dresses. I found them at Forget Me Not Kids (an online boutique store). I've been in the market for spring/summer dresses and on the look-out for a first birthday dress and Easter dress.Maybe BES can find a pattern for us :) Or knowing her talents... she could just make us a pattern :) They'd look adorable with a little white tee underneath, don't you think?

When I found out I was having a girl, I was excited... but knew that I wasn't going to be a girly girl mom. I went as far as to tell people, "don't buy any pink!"I'm laughing now. Oh boy am I ever eating my own words!I love all things girl. I still love all things boy. But when it comes to Scarlet, it's all girl!So knowing that... can you believe I am in love with the boutiques. Sadly I can

Some of my most priceless moments in life is through photography. I am not a professional photographer, nor do I think I take pictures like one. I just enjoy taking pictures and wanted to start this blog to share my life with the pictures that I take.
