Internet Problems and New Projects

I have had the most annoying week with my internet hook up! Sorry I haven't been able to post anything lately. I have a few excuses-Mainly my internet hookup (my little sprint device pooped out) and second, Miss Hayden has been waking up about 5 times a night which means I'M waking up 5 times a night, so I've been exhausted. No, I feel like I've barely been hanging on by my finger nails, LOL! I HAVE however, been working on a few projects that I will share with you, AND I had a little photoshoot with my girls for Easter at the beach. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the shots I was hoping with my girls together, but I got some cute ones of Mia. The whole point was to get pictures of the girls in their matching Easter dresses, but oh well! Here are a few of my faves! I love how Mia looks like she's walking down the catwalk with her bunny basket. This water looked so inviting! It was a gorgeous day-it made me feel extra lucky to be in Puerto Rico for Easter.
I didn't make their dresses, but I DID make their matching hair flowers :) Sorry they aren't in color, but the flowers are fushia.
I love this picture of Mia, it's too bad Hayden (my little one) looks like she smelled something yucky ;-)


Now for my recent projects:


I just mailed off these felt food treats to a friend so she can put them in her daughter's Easter basket. (I'm also working on some goodies for Mia's Easter basket)


I finally got around to making Mia another upcycled t-shirt dress. I just love that Tootsie Pop Owl, and as you can see so does Mia! One of these days I'll get around to using my Sienna Dress pattern I bought from lilblue boo, but once again, I didn't use a pattern for this dress. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday tomorrow with your families and loved ones. I'll post pictures tomorrow of some Easter activities I've done with Mia this week, along with pictures of the treats left by the Easter Bunny :)

Yellow Rose Headband

I started getting a little burned out from sewing, so yesterday I made a few hair flowers for my girls that can be worn as a clip or a headband. I just ordered Hayden new headbands in 10 different colors so she'll have one to wear with every outfit :) I just love the way this yellow rose turned out! I'll have to take pictures of all the hair flowers once I'm done making them.

A Dress for Miss Ava

Isn't she just the cutest? I was lucky enough to have a photoshoot with her just before giving birth. Her mom and I have since become friends. She asked if I could make Ava a dress for Easter.
This is how it turned out. Don't you think it will look so cute on her? When I saw this Micheal Miller Demask print in chocolate brown and pink I thought about Miss Ava's dark eyes and olive skin.
I hope you like it Lisa! I want you to take some pictures of her in it :) If any of you are interested in making this dress, I found the tutorial on lilblueboo.blogspot.com.

The Isabelle Skirt


One order down and two to go! I finished this sweet skirt for a seven year old little girl who is having a birthday this Saturday. Her mom wanted to have something made special for her. It was really sweet, they both came over so I could get her measurements and her mom let her pick out what fabric she wanted. This is my first article of clothing bigger than a size 4t so I was a little nervous, but I'm really happy with the way it turned out and hope she will be too!
