MiaMoo Designs Personalized Tags/Labels!!!

I just got my new MiaMoo Designs tags in the mail and couldn't be happier! I ordered them from JennifersJewels' Etsy Shop. I think she did a fabulous job-Now my products are boutique ready :) I've been wanting to have tags for the diaper caddys and burp cloths I make for awhile, but didn't know where to get them made, and figured they would be really expensive. I'm so glad I found JennifersJewels! She only charges $12 for 30 tags. You can buy them in bulk as well, but I wanted to start with 30 and see how I liked them. I'll definitely be ordering more because I LOVE them.

I've been busy making these cute gift sets, and will post the rest another time. This fabric is from Heather Bailey's Nicey Jane line. I love these two fabrics together, don't you? I thought I would try a different kind of burp cloth than I typically make and use minky on the other side. My sister in law Christy made me some when Hayden was born only she used flannel and chenille and I LOVE them! Who else hates sewing with minky? Its so soft, and so cute, but difficult to sew with. I had to keep seam ripping while making it which I hate doing, but the final product turned out pretty stinkin cute. I think I need to take a break from these and go back to making some more felt food :) I can't wait to post everything when its all complete!

A Fun Craft to Keep Your Toddler Busy

I don't know about other moms out there, but I often feel guilty that our TV is on pretty much all day when we're not out and about. Mia is very artistic and loves working on projects whether it be painting (which is her favorite), baking, or playing with Play-Doh. The other day I busted out her Play-Doh and a baggy full of plastic rhinestones and told her to make me some cookies and to decorate them with rhinestone sprinkles. She was in HEAVEN! It kept her busy for quite awhile too, with the TV OFF! Success :) I gave her a plastic knife because she said she wanted to make hotdogs with sprinkles too, LOL, and wanted to be able to cut them...yes, the plate on the left is full of cut up hotdogs with sprinkles. She asked me to take out her tea party plates and kept bringing me plates of goodies out of Play-Doh. The nice part about getting your little one involved in working on their own projects, is that you can work on your own right next to them at your own table :) WIN WIN! Hope your little ones like this as much as Mia did! If any of you have other ideas for me please share! I'm trying to keep Mia busy throughout the day without watching so much TV.

Cute Ava Modeling Her New Dress

Lisa just emailed this picture of Ava modeling the dress I made her. She's too cute! Thanks so much Lisa for emailing this picture!

A Dress For Reyna

One of my mom's co-workers has a little girl that will be turning 2 at the end of the month, so my mom asked if I'd make her a sundress. I love this fabric in person, but for some reason it's not looking as cute in the picture-but trust me, it's adorable in real life ;-) Mom, don't worry, hahaaha! I think the colors will look pretty on her since she has dark hair and dark eyes.
Does anyone else HATE doing straps? I do! It's not like they're hard, but I just hate doing them and procrastinate finishing dresses because of it, LOL. I've had the body of this dress done for over a week and I finally got around to making the straps tonight. I was just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem...

Fushia Flower with Irridescent Swarovski Crystals

This flower also comes in tangerine orange and white. I think this is one of my favorites for all ages. It looks cute on a headband or all on its own :)

Happy Easter!

I hope you all have enjoyed your Easter! Mia and I made these cupcakes yesterday and delivered them today to some friends of ours that go to medical school with my husband. These two cute girls have been great babysitters for us while being here in Puerto Rico over these past 3 years, and Mia has really grown fond of them both.
My morning started out with Mia whispering in my ear that the Easter Bunny had come to fill her basket, so I got up to check it all out with her. She LOVED the fairy necklace (thanks Angie) and all the other goodies in her basket. After we enjoyed some Easter goodies, I thought it would be a good time to talk to Mia about why we really celebrate Easter. I showed her the movie Lamb of God and explained to her what was going on. I was so surprised that she sat still the whole time and really seemed interested. She's my little tender heart and felt sad when she saw that Jesus died for us and to see how they treated him. She kept saying, "Poor Jesus!" I explained that Jesus was resurrected and that is what we celebrate on Easter. It was really special to talk to her about it.
I planned to dye Easter eggs with her today and have a little Easter egg hunt, but the day filled up too quickly. I did dye eggs with her during the week and will post pictures of those tomorrow when I upload them to my computer. I'm too tired tonight, LOL! I made a really nice dinner this evening that tasted so good (to me anyway!). I made a pork roast with home made mashed potatoes, squash, salad, and cranberries. I wish I had taken pictures for proof! Anyway, I hate to ramble on-Enjoy the rest of your Easter Sunday!

The Easter Baskets Are Full

The girls are in bed, and I'm getting ready for bed, so I decided it was time to fill their Easter baskets. Mia really wanted a new bucket and shovel, so I thought it would be cute to fill it with grass and use it as an Easter basket.

I filled it with Peeps, bite size pink heart sugar cookies made from felt and packaged in a cute pink polkadot container, Reese's Peanutbutter Eggs, and a fairy necklace I won over at Treasures for Tots .

For Hayden's basket, I made her felt Peeps since she's obviously too little to eat any candy. I already know Mia will take them over, but it's cute to put in her basket anyway.

I found the idea and pattern for the Chick Peeps here.

As for the bunny Peeps, I made my own pattern. I quickly whipped them out tonight to they definitely could look better, LOL! Instead of sewing the eyes on, I glued these tiny little pompoms on them. I wouldn't recommend using them for kids still putting things in their mouths (like I said before, Mia will be taking them over), but for three year olds it's fine :) I can't wait to see Mia's face tomorrow morning when she sees it all. Have fun with your little bunnies in the morning too!
