Wednesday Fun Day!

Hi Everyone!!! The Hoo Are You? post was meant for my todays post but since I posted it last night I just couldn't resist to not post today!!!! Did that all make sense????

Well today is another SNOW DAY!!! We are going a little stir crazy...but we found a few fun things to do here in the house! As I was messing around out there in the blog world I came across The Pampered Mom. She did a post on Snow Icecream and since we have over a foot of snow I thought, perfect fun for me and the kiddos! Click HERE for her blog!


Here is the recipe if you are interested...

Can't leave you all without a photo! Here is Bella and what happens to her on the couch in the winter time!

A Day in the Life of.....ME!

This post will be in two parts...please check back so you can see some after pics and hear how the last part of our day went! (I will update around 4pm...now you have no excuse to not come back by!)

I ended up falling asleep on the couch, it is sooo super comfy to sleep on which happens at least once a week! I woke up around 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I went and got the dog out of her kennel and she laid on the couch with me, she is such a cute and soft snuggle bug!

I watched the movie Numb3rs (which I really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone!) and when it was over I turned some Full House on, who doesn't like some Full House! Finally I fell back asleep and woke back up when my hubby had to go to work.

The day started out with the kids waking up to snow and the joyous words, IT'S A SNOW DAY!

From there I watched them play Wii, listened to them fight about it, and ended in the Wii going off and Cooper going to his room...errrrr...don't they learn, this happens everytime!

Then I fixed some yummy french toast....wait, hold your breathe....everyone of them devoured it! I have to say so myself, it was some good stuff!

After fixing breakfast I did clean and organize the fridge. It was a complete disaster. I would open it and things would come jumping out at me. Nothing was put on the right shelf. AWWWWWWW much better! O and check out my Pampered Chef Quick Stir Pitcher. I love it so much, if you fix Kool-Aid, Tea, or anything that needs to be stirred you need this! Click Here to look at it upclose and read about it!

Now I am on my way up to my craft room to clean and organize it. It looks like a tornado came threw or it got sick and threw up all my crafting supplies cause everything is everywhere!
Here are the Before pictures and I will post the after when I am done!!!





Cleaned and Organized Craft Room!!!!!
This part of the room is where I have all my orders that need to ship and all my inventory!

Here is where I keep all, most, of my supplies. All my fabric, yarn, tulle, ribbon, flowers, beading supplies, and other odd and ends... The desk to the right is where I sit and make all my bows. Above the fabric covered push pin board is a vinyl saying that says, Just Be Yourself...I plan on adding 3 pieces of art above that. I can't wait to be able to get out, the snow is making that very hard, and get 3 canvas' from Hobby Lobby, paint, and glitter!

This is the table I do all my sewing and serging at. It isn't a real sturdy table and would like to get a new one sometime soon!

Another view of all my inventory!

It is YOUR day!

I absolutely love making lil ones their birthday outfits!!! I love being creative and making them one of a kind!!!

Your birthday is your day, it is a day that should be all about you! Your birthday outfit should stand out from all your guests and you should be in the spotlight!! This is what I hope to achieve with these precious outfits I make.

I was asked by a special customer if I could make her little girl a rhinestone cowgirl outfit. I decided to make a cowgirl boot applique and inside the star on the boot I put a rhinestone J for Joiey. Joiey will be 1 in April!!! Happy Birthday sweet one!

I was asked by not only a customer but a lady I have become great friends with to make her niece a special 2nd birthday outfit. She requested pink and black with rhinestones. I decided to make a fun funky 2 out of black rhinestones and I also put these on the bow. The tutu is pink and black. This little girl will be 2 very very soon! Happy Birthday!!!

And last but not least, I made a very special 3rd birthday outfit!!! I absolutely love how this outfit turned out!!! The birthday girl looked sooo cute in this outfit!!!


I have a couple more outfits in the works and can't wait until I can share them with everyone!!! I love making these outfits and love making little ones feel special!!

Thank you everyone for following me!

Awesome Fabric Flowers!



I was inspired AGAIN!!! This time I was inspired by Little Miss Momma's blog!!! I found this tutorial and used it to learn how to make my fabric flowers! Click HERE if you want to learn! I absolutely am in love with these flowers and could sit and make them all day long!!!

These flowers can be made for all ages and look great on anybody!

Here is a red and white puff fabric flower that I made. I made this flower with Valentines Day in mind! I made my oldest daughter (8 years old) an XOXO applique shirt and this will go great in her hair with the shirt!

And here is a Black Fabric Puff on a velvet ruffle headband. This headband is gorgeous and I can't wait to get a picture of it on a little baby's head!


I will keep the blog updated with all my new Fabric Puff Flowers!!!
