Paper Dresses

I came across an article about a mother and 4 year old daughter that enjoy making famous dresses out of paper. Check it out here I showed the pictures to my daughters and they begged to try it right now! It was raining and we needed something fun to do. It was sure an interesting fun activity.


Fun with Friends!





Lace crowns, angel wings, beautiful multi layer bows and cheesecloth baby photography


After four babies of my own I think I am going into baby withdraw. So to fulfill my needs of babies I photograph them. Make them giggle and enjoy the sweetness of chubby cheeks and goo goo ga. I like to search pinterest for all the latest fads of baby photography.

*I found the lace crown and had to give it a try.
You just need lace, fabric stiffener, paint and hot glue.
Dip the lace in the stiffener let it drip then dry...
Paint it
glue the sides together and store it on a round cup so it keeps shape.
Be ready for a balancing act when you photograph the baby.

*I didn't make the bow. It's pretty amazing and elaborate. The baby's mama made it. She said it is just 3 different flowers put together. The idea is to get different types of material and put them together. so pretty.

* Angel wings cost about $4 to make.
  Just get 2 packages of feathers soft fluffy ones for the top and mid. And long feathers for the bottom. Hot glue them onto a cardboard
I used a baby head band for the straps.
I love this pic. I think the little baby looks like a perfect doll. I like how the cheesecloth frames her beautiful face. This was my first shot with cheesecloth. I can't wait to get a newborn in it.

Build A Bear fits a newborn?!!


Did you ever wonder if build a bear fits a newborn.... Well yes! I am getting into newborn photography and I just had to try. Since my friend is a huge 49er fan she did not object. :) Pretty amazing how we all start out to be so incredibly tiny!

Starting these 49er fans young!

DIY Cheer Bows

It's cheer bow time again. Doing 50 bows is crazy. Make sure when you do so many that you buy all your rolls of ribbon on the same day! They don't restock fast enough.
And here are my tips:
I found this type of bow on a blog... at the end when you are ready to cinch the bow together the directions I found was to sew it. A much better idea is to cinch it with a rainbow loom rubber band!
No sewing and you can make lots of bows fast.
Here is a picture tutorial:



Tie a not and then hot glue  it to the bow to cover the rubber band.



Don't forget the coach's baby!

LEGO guy display case in Melissa & Doug wooden box

I made this for my son and he loves to display his LEGO guys with all of their accessories. I just hot glued the legos to the bottom. My son can rearrange the figures any way he chooses. Keeps Legos contained and a nice piece for room decor. I cut up an old LEGO magazine and modge podge the words on it.
