Last Minute Valentines Gift For Daddy?

2X4 to We Love Daddy


Okay, so I was getting ready to go to bed and then I saw this! It's a 2x4 turned into a We Love Daddy sign!! How cute! The ladies over at How Does She? have this great tutorial! I wish I had the time! I'm just going to have to add it to my "To Do" list! LOL! Have a great night everyone!!!

Chandelier Printed Tops


I got the really pretty screen print and decided that I wanted to put it on my baby tops. So I started with just tops and not onesies and then decided, why not try a onesie? Well, I'm glad I did! It came out really cute in gray on a tee but on these onesies it was awesome! I'm thinking I'm going to add a ruffle butt to the back? Hmmm.... what else can I come up with? LOL!



The tops are for sale at my Etsy shop. Hope you enjoy!!!

Brooch Bouquets

I have been planning my daughters first birthday, which is going to be an Alice in Wonderland theme. No, I didn't even know that the movie was coming out but oh well. It kinda works out I guess for me since now there will be more out there for that theme. Well anyways I have been looking through all the blogs for some ideas and I came across this beautiful Brooch Bouquet made by Amanda Heer over at Fantasy Floral Design and I so wish I could make some of these for the birthday! I wouldn't even know where to get the brooches but I'm certaintly going to try to make at least one for my little LaLa!

Framed Hair Bow Holder

So Christina over at 3 Sweet P's made this beautiful Bow Holder and I just had to try it out! She gives a great tutorial but if you would like to purchase one you can do so Here.


Here's what mine turned out like. I decided to use the back and cover it with fabric though.

DIY Kitchen from a NIGHTSTAND!!??

OMG!! I spend way too much time on here!! Not enough sleep! But I so can't help myself... So, again I was looking at all the blogs I follow and Rachel over at Vintage Song Bird has the most absolute cutest revamp of a nightstand. She turned it into a kitchen! It had me thinking about Craigslist and how I always see nightstand and desks and tables for like $5 or $10. HELLO! This is such a simple and beautiful thing to do that I'm going to attempt this for my twin boys! The LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, playing with their fridge my parents got them for their birthday that they so need one of these. Like we even have the room, but I'll find a place to put this sucker!! LOL! I can't wait to make one and post it!

Doodle Chalkboard

So I was looking through the blogs and I came across this really neat chalkboard idea. Disney, over at Ruffles And Stuff, has this Doodle Chalkboard tutorial that she made for her daughter. I'm so going to try it out and post it up here. Wish me luck!!!

New Blog Look!

So I decided that I needed a fresher look for my blog. Something with a little color! I found an awesome background at Shabby Blogs and then went from there. It's like Alice in Wonderland meets Miranda! LOL. I totally love it and am going to have to redo alot when it comes to my business cards and other business related things but I'm glad I did! Hope you all like it!!

Revamping My Baby Bibs!!

So I decided to revamp all my bibs! They just all looked so plain to me! On the boys I decided to add guitars and ties and this is what I created! The ties are double layered with felt backing then I sewed the edges with a crisscross stictch. I applied them to the bib with fabric glue and viola!


Here's Mr. Avery modeling them for me!


In this one, I screen printed a guitar to the bib but still thought it lacked my wow factor. So I cut out another guitar and glued it on to make it look like a shadow. And again here is my Avery modeling the bib!


Now, with my girl bibs it took me a bit longer to think of something unique but I wasn't giving up. I saw lots of ideas everywhere but nothing really caught my eye till I saw an adorable bib on Ucreate.

It started to spark my imagination and then while I was on Etsy I found the cutest bow on a lady's shop called Daffodil Doll. Isn't it lovely?!!


So... I started thinking, and thinking, and thinking... and this was my creation for the girl bibs!





I even tried out a guitar for the girls bib too and another Viola!


 I really love the way these bibs came out! And I'm super excited to start selling them!! You can purchase any one of the cuties by going to my etsy shop here...LaLa Petites Etsy Shop
