Fun Chic Headbands!

Oh My Gosh, I have had a ton of fun making these new headbands! I have learned how to make two new kinds of flowers and love how they turned out.

I can't remember where I learned this first fabric flower and I also cant remember what the flower is called, I know I know what a great memory I have!

I decided to use my new pink glitter elastic for the headband part and who doesn't love zebra print!!!??? I topped it off with a pink jewel in the center!
Here is the item:

And here is what it looks like on a beautiful little model!

The second fabric flower I found HERE! I used some scrap fabric I had laying around and some french netting. The fabric puff flower I added to finish the flower just perfect!
Here it is:

And here is my beautiful model!

The third headband is made with a singed flower and felt roses! I found how to do the felt roses, HERE!
I have known how to do the singed flowers for a long while now and there are many places out there that will show you how. I added seed beads to the middle and absolutely love how this turned out!

Here it is on the awesome Bailey!


I love each and everyone of these and plan on many more to come! I will be listing these in my ETSY shop today!!! These are perfect for photo shoots and the perfect outfit!

Mommy Moments!

Hi all my faithful dedicated followers!!! It is Monday but we will make it through it. Lets all pull together, breathe, and help each other!

I am linking up to a linky party. This is a little different than the ones I usually link up to. This party is to discuss some of our Mommy Moments, even those less than stellar mommy moments! Check out the linky and follow these lovely ladies!


O man do I have a ton of these!!! Come on, you know you do too!!!!
I am going to blog about 5 that come to mind!!! I would love to hear that I am not the only one and what 5 of your mommy moments are!

#1 I am the worst to follow through with my threats or ANYTHING I tell my kids. I am going to go ahead and blame this on my mom!!!! I totally remember as a kid she would tell me, "Go clean your room, if it's not clean you don't go anywhere." uh huh yeah right! I still went and she usually cleaned it! This leads me to #2

#2 I always pick up and clean my kids rooms. I want it done a certain way and done right. I am pretty pickey about where toys go and how clothes are put away and hung up. I would rather just do it and it be done good!!!!

#3 I CANNOT get my 3 year old out of our bed. Another fault of my following through. I know I just need to put her in her bed and make her cry it out until we master it but this is sooooo hard... Any tips would be great!!!

#4 My kids are addicted to Candy! I have a candu bowl on the island in the kitchen and they love this. I need to resrict it more and use it more as a positive reinforcement...Ok I will start doing this and let you knwo how it goes. I guess this means the bench have to go so they cant climb and reach the bowl!!

#5 Today was Coopers 100th Day of School. Because of the snow days and then he was sick we slacked off and it crept up on us. His project was due today...well MOM did it for him. I feel so bad cause he should have done it on his own but I wanted him to have something. I have to say so myslef though, It was cool. It was a house made out of 100 pennies. Pics to come!

OK spill it ladies!!!!!

I never leave you without pictures! Here are the three reasons I have mommy moments!

8 year old Lauren~ She can be sooo sweet and helpful! She is creative and is just like me (uh oh!!!)

6 Year old Cooper~ He is a handful but he always seems to make me laugh! he says the darndest things. He is very loving and has such a love hate relationship with his two sisters!

3 year old Izabella (Bella)~ She is a pistol. She does things her way and no other way. She is always telling us how much she loves us though!

Super Bowl Sunday

This Sunday is SUPER for many reasons!

The 1st and most important is my blogs new look! I have to give all credit to Angela from Mommy PR. Click HERE and you can see all the great things this blog has to offer. Angela is so great! She helped more than anyone will ever know and she was so patient with me! Thank you Angela!!!!

2nd is, It is Super Bowl Sunday! The Green Bay Packers VS The Pittsburg Steelers!
We are fixing food and having a lay around don't do much kind of day!!!

Check out these applique shirts I made for customers!!! I think they turned out so great and the best part of all is, my customers loved them!

Here is the Steelers shirt. I used Steeler fleece fabric and appliqued it on in a heart shape that I freehanded. Then I freezer paper stenciled the word Steelers on top.


Here is the Green Bay Packer shirt. I used green, yellow, and white fabric to make the Packer logo. I looked at the logo on the computer and then freehanded it too.
