Princess Tutu Bow Holder

Hi everyone!!!! I want to start out my blog today by asking everyone to take a minute and say a prayer for a very good friend of mine, her kids, and their family. They were in a bad car accident and her children are in the hospital. I do not know details but I can not imagine. I know there can be such power behind prayer and I want sooo much for them to all be ok. Thank you everyone!

Every little girl needs a holder for her bows/head bands and a PRINCESS TUTU bow holder is the most perfect bow holder ever!!

This was my first Princess Tutu Bow Holder so I made it for Bella (my youngest daughter). I chose a pretty fun floral fabric. I picked ribbon, tulle, and a flower that matched and went to town on making my bow holder.

I love how it turned out but here are my tips on what i would do different the nest time I make it (My oldest daughter already requested one too)

*Iron the fabric before using it
*Use more tulle to make it fuller
*Use velcro for the head band holder part (I used magnets, or use stronger magnets and glue)

MIA and NEW Easter Puff Head Band!

I have been MIA (Missing In Action) for a while now. I have good legitimate reasons but will have to wait a bit to share them with you. Because of my reasons I just have not been on my game and have slacked a lot on my blog and business. I miss blogging and keeping up with all the blogs I love to read. I am slowly trying to come back and do my thing again!

To start out my week I would like to share a beautiful Easter Colored Puff Head Band I made. I absolutely love how it turned out!!! I will be making some of these in colors to match my girls dresses.




I can't wait to start posting every day again and reading all my lovely friend bloggers blogs!!!!!

Thank you to all my readers that have wondered and worried about me. Brooke

Today is a TUTU kind of day!

I missed everyone and I can't believe that I missed two days on my blog. It was a busy weekend and as much as I love my blog and all my followers it was a much needed weekend!

Saturday my husband and I spent some quality time with our older two kiddos. I took Lauren, my 8 year old, to see the Justin Bieber movie. I would totally reccomend the movie to anyone. It puts a whole new perspective on him and his talent. He is an incredible child and so unbelieveably talented. I will for sure be taking Lauren to the next concert in KC. My husband took Cooper, our 6 year old, and a friend to the World of Wheels Car Show. I think they all had fun. My youngest got to spend the day with GRANDMA!

Saturday was also my husbands birthday and I gave him a very great birthday present. I will have to tell you all about that in a later post!!! Think hard and see if you can guess what it was!

Sunday we just kind of had a lazy day and got everything ready for all our kids V-Day parties at school.

So that brings me to today...
I had a custom order for two tutus. I absolutely love how these turned out and wanted to share them with you!

Here is the two toned purple tutu with Zebra ribbon accents and bow!


Here is the two toned pink tutu with Zebra accents and bow!


Hope you all enjoyed the tutus and missed me as much as I missed you!!!!

Week #6 of ME!!!

OMG I have completely missed WEEK #4 and #5.... That means I have not had much me time and I can totally tell I need it. But I had a great WEEK #6 of ME!!!

I got to go to my first MOPS (mothers of Preschool students) meeting! I have been wanting to go to these meetings for a while now and something always comes up, sick kids, snow days, completely forgetting, etc... I am so happy to be connecting with other mothers and learning some valuable information.

The meetings topic was communication. Here are the few things that I took away from the meeting:

#1 Communication is a must in your relationship (but also in life in general)

#2 Every night at dinner you should communicate with your spouse and children. You should find out what they did that day and very importantly you should find out how they felt. (Did they have an arguement with a friend and if so how did they fill?...Did they work very very hard and if so how do they feel?...etc...)

#3 Throughout the week you should appreciate your spouse and tell them what all you appreciate them for.

#4 But also each of you should ask, once a week, What can I do to be a better wife/husband? And then you need to work on that. Only find one weakness once a week, don't over do it.

I have been trying to be a better wife. I hate cooking but my husband got a new job and it has been great but also a little stressful so I have been trying to have dinner ready a couple times this week. I have also been trying to communicate more, really just talk more instead of just sitting on the computer or watching tv while he cooks or whatever he does in the evening.

I loved this meeting and I am really looking forward to this coming Tuesday for the next meeting!

Catch up on life!

Well today I am having to take a break from blogging and the computer in general. I need to catch up on life! I have a house that not only needs picked up but needs some deep cleaning! I have done a few things but I have to get to it and get it done! I have 3 hours before my older two need to be picked up from school.

I also have 4 tutus, an applique shirt, and a few bows to complete before the end of the day!

I hope to be very productive after I retire the computer for the day... I will update you on tomorrows blog if I was successful!

I have two pictures I want to share with you today!!!

Here is what I would like to be doing!!!! My youngest taking a snooze!


Here is an updates picture of the puppy. Since she is a neopolitian mastiff she grows very fast and will be very big. Right now she is about 10 weeks old and weights about 23 pounds! So cute though!
