1st birthday outfit - minnie mouse

A couple of months ago I found one of my best friends from High School, after talking about our families and interests, my hobbies came up in the conversation and she recently contacted me about making an outfit for her little niece. I am thrilled to be able to help her out and can't wait to get reaquainted after 20 years!

This 4 pc. set includes a personalized onesie, knee lenght tutu, headband with detachable hair bow and felt shoes.

Yvette's baby shower

This past weekend I attended a baby shower for my nephew's girlfriend, who is due next month. This will be my sister 2 nd grandson, and we all can't wait for him to arrive...we need a new baby in the family, since our littlest member is already 4!

the invitations were sent out in a brown envelope, along with the registry card.

the corsage (or mum) was made to match the monkey on the invitation

and of course, coordinating cupcakes with chocolate and vanilla cheese frosting and a monkey topper...made about 3 dz. of these!

holidays

As many of you may have noticed, it has been over a month since I've posted anything, well, with Belli still not feeling 100% better, and the family over for the holidays my free time has been well spent on my kids. This doesn't mean that I have not been busy creating and crafting, I have to admit, I did slacked a quite a bit, specially on Belli's Christmas outfit, she didn't seem to mind though, as long as she gets to wear sparkles!
A couple of months ago I found this dress and planned to add hot pink to it, but when Christmas came around and I didn't have the time or energy to elaborate on something else, just changing the ribbon made all the difference. I paired it with a headband I got at Target's dollar bin a couple of years ago and a felt flower and done! The only thing I bought her were the red sparkly shoes, she loves them.

Samantha's 1st Birthday - hellokitty

This birthday girl is so very lucky that her Godmother is so very crafty, making the goodie bags, centerpieces and decorating all throughout the party! She has been planing this birthday party since back in July, gathering supplies and taking care of every little detail. Since this baby girl is also my husbands Goddaughter, I had to pitch in and help too. I just have to remember this is not my party, I'm just supposed to help!

the invitation

I thought they looked too simple, and since they had no picture a little sparkle and ruffles made all the difference.

Kris' 6th birthday - race car

Krissy is the sweetest thing I have ever seen, and I see Belli everyday! He is so cute with those long loose curls, big dark eyes and pouty lips, he is also very, very calm and easy going. Belli loves to have him over to play (He goes along with her and plays anything) one of her favorite cousins!

one of their many tea party "dinners"

I believe he has had a Disney cars theme party for his 4th birthday and mater (also from Disney cars) for his 5th birthday. He obviously likes cars, but this time his mom wanted something a little bit more "grown up"

6 weeks 'til Christmas!!! I have gotta get moving. Here is a preview of what I am working on.

you know I have to make extras for Belli, but since she will be using these for school I have to be proper and use her "real" name.

what's keeping me busy

baking...yum

for my nephew's birthday, my brother asked me to bake him some cupcakes for school, so I decided to give the kids an extra sugary treat and added a gumball. They loved the idea!

halloween 2010

This past week was crazy for me, I was so busy with 2 doctors appointments for my mother, and a dentist appointment for Belli (FYI, she is toothless), working on a birthday party, and on top of that I decided to take some last minute costume orders. And just because I didn't have enough, I had organized a garage sale Saturday morning, and Belli decided she'd take a trip to the ER (severe earache, which ended up being an ear infection) on Saturday night. Long story short I was cutting her costume @11 p.m. on Saturday and did not finish until 1:45 a.m. but it was all worth it, at the Halloween party she won best costume for girls out of 35 kids...the prize, more candy ;0)

she loved it, not so much for the candy but because she got to wear mommy's makeup!

her wig was actually black so I added some red hairspray

for my older ones I just added an applique to a plain t'shirt and we used a blue colored hairspray

as you can see here, their hair color looked much better in the sunlight.
