~Valentine Bracelets for my 3 little girls~

  I wanted to make special Valentines Day gifts for my girls.  I decided to make them bracelets.  Ruby is in love with goldfish.  Anytime she See's goldfish, she goes banana's!

 When I started on Lydia's... I got a call, that my dad had been taken to the hospital by ambulance.  My dad was having chest pain.  He stayed in the hospital for awhile and had a couple surgeries.  Thank the lord he is okay!  So Lydia's was made of only hearts.  Lydia puts her heart and soul in everything she does.  She has so much heart, just like my Dad!

~Inspire me Martha Stewart!~

So a couple weeks ago my sweet husband and I, had date night.  We watched the cutest show, Julia and Julia.  It was this fantastic movie about this lady named, Julia.  She was an average girl, who blogged her experience with going threw Julia's cookbook.  Julia was her idol!  Well it got me thinking...  I adore Martha Stewart!  Her crafting is amazing!   Who knows maybe, Martha might read my blog!  Wouldn't that be exciting!  Maybe, I will get a Martha stamp on my blog!  My ultimate dream is to get the chance to go to her show!  Okay... Im Dreaming!  Lol!  ;o)

Anyways....

Well...  I went out and bought the book, "Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts",  An a-z guide with detailed instructions and endless inspiration!   So guess what?   I am going to go threw her book, and post how the projects come out.  I am still going to incorporate my own crafts, on my blog....  So dont worry!

"Martha and Chrissy"  Lol! 

One step closer to be crowned a Martha Princess!  ;o)

Many blessings to all!

~Glitter and Tutu's~


I am so sorry, I haven't posted lately!!! The girls and I, have been Sickly Sue's... We are all doing so much better now! Ruby Roo is still getting over it though..

Anyways, on with the post!!! ;o)

My 3 girls are BFFs, with the sweetest little girl named Sophie.  Sophie was having a birthday comming up. So I made her 2 fun, Tu Tu's! I got the fantastic idea from Samsters Mommy, and Martha!  Both super fantastic blogs you all need to check out.
One was pink with pom pom's! The other was purple with glitter hearts! I figured the glittered heart one could be Valentines Day themed...

The girls and I got glitter literally everywhere.  I glued, they spread the glitter.  It was too much fun!  :)  I am sure my husband is loving the Martha Stuart Glitter pack, he got me!  Lol!  I know the girls and I love it!  For some reason the glitter is so hard to get out of my girls hair.  It sticks to there scalp, no matter how many times I scrub the shampoo in... :)

Ruby was my model for the tutu's.  I reminded her many times, that Mommy was making the tutu's for Sophie..  Ruby was totally fine with that.  I told her I would make her one soon.  It was pretty cute though. She kept saying, "Mommy, I a ballerina!"  She twirled and danced, it was so gosh darn cute!

The glitter hearts bounced around and didn't stay in one place...
Photobucket Maybe having one side sticker tacky, might have been a good idea. That way I could have placed all the glitter hearts, where I wanted them to stay... It still turned out pretty darn cute, though!

Ruby made sure she told everyone at Sophie's birthday that, " My Mommy made this!" She went from person to person.  It was the sweetest thing!  Ruby was so proud of her Mommy!

I cant leave out my other 2..  Lydia and Gracie loved them!  I let them try it on too!  Surprisingly it fit all 3 of them perfect!  Gracie wanted me to take her picture on her horse...  She loves this horse so much...  She askes me literally every night, if she can sleep on her horse!  Lol!

Photobucket My princess, Lydia Loo!

Those tutu's were too much fun!  I think the next one, Ill try doing a couple layers of the tulle.  More pockets to put fun stuff in.  I have so many idea's, for the theme's!  A garden theme, Easter theme, Oh and a Pink Victoria Secret dog theme!  I have gotten a request for an adult size one too!!!  I love it!!!  Tutu's are sooo much fun!

~Bleach tie dye shirt for Lydia~

Last night Lydia informed us,  that tomorrow is national tie dye day.  She needed to wear something tie dye tomorrow.  It was 8:00pm and going to the store was out of the question.  So I looked up some tutorials.  There are millions!  So we tried the basic concept.  Twist, tie, and secure with rubber band.  Soak in 50% bleach- 50% water, for 15-20min.  Then we soaked it in 50% vinegar-50% water.   Ringed it out and rinsed it out again, this time with water.  It turned out okay....  Her shirt was dark blue.  It changed it some...   All in all, it was a fun little project!

~Truffles and Refashion on little girls dress~








So I took a break from sewing the pajama's.  Gracie had this cute summer dress.  It had a stain on the top of the dress.  Well with all the awesome blogs showing how to refashion stuff.  I gave it a try!  I made her dress into a skirt.  She loves it!  Gracie even asked if I could do that to all her dresses.  Lol!  I forgot to take a before picture of the dress...  So, I put the top and bottom part, together.  You get the idea..  I also took a picture of the nummy truffles my sweet husband made!
