Busy Little Ladybug Dress and Ladybug Tutu

A quick look at where I have been this week.  I've done these and about 50 other things!  So busy!

Forgive the terrible pictures...it's late, and I don't have time to edit.

 It's for a little cutie from California.

For her 1st Birthday Party.

It is exactly like Lotte's first birthday dress, but for a ladybug party.

I have to say that because this was the first dress I made for someone other than my child, it took me a lot longer.  I didn't skip any corners and every seam is perfectly finished.  The inside looks just as pretty as the outside, I wish I could say that for my daughter's homemade clothes!

I made a headband/facinator and a matching bow.

HALLOWEEN costumes are next! Sigh...so busy!

Mister's Little Mister Party

Brother was baptized a little while ago and we hosted a Little Man Luncheon in his honor.  I did THIS post awhile back to show some of my inspiration.  So without much further ado, here's the party!


The party was at a local park under a pavilion.   Here is the mini desert table.  I did chocolate cupcakes with blue buttercream icing and chocolate covered pretzels (made by Brother's Godparents).

Thanks so much to Emily from Remarkable Home for the cupcake toppers!

{if you would like the free mustache printable, you can get it from me HERE}

The neck ties on a clothesline to add a little somthin-somthin.

I didn't want to do bottle labels because I wanted the water to be cold, and labels just don't work for that.  So instead I tied some of the torn fabric around the bottles.  It worked great because they weren't ho-hum water bottles, but it didn't matter that it got wet.


One of my best friends {also my aunt} is a PROFESSIONAL themed-food-namer, renowned for her skills in alliteration and clever titles for random things.  She helped me come up with some clever names for the food.

The straws had paper mustaches on them.  I used mason jars filled with chocolate candies (malt balls, raisenettes, and goobers) as "centerpieces".  I ripped strips of fabric and tied them like neckties around the jars.  LOVE THEM!

A Little Man party wouldn't be complete without mustaches on sticks.
And a cute Little Man!

Lotte thought they were funny too!

PERFECT family picture


The fabric was used to tie just about everything together, including the kids' shirts and Lotte's facinator.

Pattern Review for Ashley @ Cherished Bliss


Ashley over at Cherished Bliss put a call out a week or two ago for a pattern tester for a cute little headband.  I jumped at the opportunity because it is just too stinkin' cute!



I loved the finished project and the pattern was well written and easy enough to follow and quick to complete.  The hardest part I had was finding some of the right materials {she used french netting and I couldn't find any in the area and for some silly reason I couldn't find any stretch lace}.  The lack of netting and lace caused mine to be less shabby chic, but adorable nonetheless!

Here is Ashley's version which is available for purchase in her ETSY SHOP.

You can also purchase THE PATTERN and make your very own.

Thanks Ashley!

Where am I today?

Hey Hey Hey!

I'm doing a guest tutorial over at sweet miss Eva's blog house Couturier Mommy.


If you stop by you will get to see how I made this helpful baby....



Full out tutorial on her blog.  Whheewww...tutorials take some work.  It amazes me when bloggers post more than one a week!  I wish I could make blogging my full time job rather than working at the office.  But alas, my husband says that headband holders don't buy groceries...so off I go to the Day Job.
