Jean Skirt Tutus!

It's June and we're celebrating Baby Girl's 2nd birthday! So be sure to use the coupon code "BIRTHDAY20" for 20% off your order. Here's the birthday girl herself, sporting my newest creation.

And, since Woody is in this picture too.... I should mention that Doggie Tutus and Bow Ties have been added to my crafts as well. Woody prefers the bow ties. These cute models are from a gal on Fiverr.com - since I have boy Bostons.

I've had the "denim tutus" on the back burner for awhile now and have finally gotten to making them.... Jean Skirt Tutus. Made with upcycled jeans cut into skirts and trimmed with a handtied tulle tutu. I've been playing with ways to do this and have decided that I like this method best.

Bright Pink Skirt with Purple Tutu & Flower (this one is a 3T skirt) and Matching Purple Flower Headband / Hair Clip

Baby Pink Trimmed Overalls Tutu (this one is a 0-3 month size). Don't have the matching headband / hair clip listed yet, but this Peonie would look great with it.

Busy Tutus

Baby Girl's been busy walking - ran for the first time today - and I've been busy making tutus (and a sundress, no pics yet though). Check out Ellie Grace Etsy for custom tutu listings. Currently I have 2 premade and available:  Rainbow extra-fluffy 18m ($19.99) and red / hot pink extra-fluffy 3T ($24.99).

Both have ribbon-encased waist bands, bows and are extra fluffy.

The flower hair clips make great accessories on these!



Where's My Red, Mommy?

I'm working on sewing roses on tonight. These headbands are so soft and they allow me to hide the stitching. I've been eyeing up silk flowers in the stores because I haven't been happy with the flower samples I ordered. The giant mums are rather flat and have fallen apart, so I'm looking for something better. Thinking I will have to take flowers apart and sew them together - it could be fun and render some fun creations.

Saturday we enjoyed some beautiful weather (Mother's Day was gorgeous as well) so Baby Girl and I played in the grass while Big Brother took his nap and Daddy worked in the yard. Realized that she has no red accessories. Will have to remedy that.

Don't forget to tag yourself in the Orange Dragonfly to win a free headband!

Tag the Orange Dragonfly!

Tag yourself in orange dragonfly picture on Facebook to win a free headband! When 50 people have been tagged in it, a winner will be chosen randomly. Winner will get to choose a headband from my new inventory (shipping included if you're not local).

I found out today that my supplies should get here Thursday! I'll have to carve out some time to get headbands put together this weekend....between company, a baseball game, getting the rest of my garden ready and - of course - playing with the kids. It will be a fun & busy weekend.

A list of headbands planned: Yellow and Lime roses ($3.50); Lavender, Purple, Light pink and Hot pink buttterflies ($3.00), Orange, Turquoise, Lavender, Purple, and Hot pink dragonflies ($3.00). Let me know if there's something you'd like right away...and I'll make those first.

Dragon Flies

Loving on the dragon flies! Baby Girl is getting better about leaving the headbands on too. She likes to take it off to inspect the dragon fly and then attempts to put it back on her head. Sometimes she plays peek-a-boo with it, her very favorite game. I've ordered supplies to make my first set of inventory. The dragon fly, butterfly and ice rose headbands will be $3 each (or 2 for $5) + shipping if not local. (Accept PayPal, cash, or check)

Mail's Here!!!

My first order of supply samples came in the mail. . . and I just had to take pictures right away! These headband embellishments are, in my sister's words, "whimsical". Butterflies, dragon flies and ice roses on crochet and soft cloth headbands. After our quick, little photoshoot the decision was which one should Baby Girl wear to the egg hunt this morning? I tried out the purple dragon fly clip in my hair, but alligator clips just slip right out. Will have to figure out how get it onto a hair binder - I've been dreaming up crocheted hair binder for us more grown-up girls. Something with beads, perhaps. Baby Girl went with the lavender butterfly today to match her light purple tights. She actually did a good job keeping it on today. At one point she took it off to inspect it, then attempted to put it back on her head.
