Newest Ladybug Design and Kite Flying

The weather has been just BEAUTIFUL all week long and we have been enjoying it by going on walks at the park, bike riding, and pretty much spending every given moment outdoors! Xiera had lots of fun flying her Dalmation kite yesterday!! This is the first time she has ever flown a kite and she did rather well. She was so proud of herself and we were too.



I was invited by my friend Tammy of Painted*Patooties to the Lil'Peas Going On a Picnic Guest Launch that starts May 13th so I decided to bring the ladybugs to the picnic!! Here is a sneak peek!!

I am planning on making some cute hair clippies to match too!!

New Pattern Find

I never usually crochet clothing for myself to wear, but I ran across this pattern and have made a promise to myself that I will make this one to wear very soon!!! I just LOVE the ruffle lace stitch on this cami top and the ribbon lacing on the side. So cute and very springy! You can find the FREE pattern Here.

Poison Ivy Woes

A few days ago, hubby cut the grass and I went outside to play with the girls shortly after. Zella loves just sitting in the grass and sticking her fingers in the dirt and pulling the grass with her hands. Well I am guessing hubby must of mowed over a Poison Ivy vine causing it to spread all over an area in the yard that Zella was playing in because now her little hand has a nasty Poison Ivy rash on it. Hubby gets Poison Ivy quite frequently and said we should go and get some Zanfel. I didn't know if we could use it on Zella since she is so young so I called the Pediatrician to make sure and she said it would be okay to use. So we went and picked it up and treated her rash with it. It already looks so much better.

Messy Rooms, Modeling, and Puppet Fun

I finally have a moment to breathe, drink a cappuccino and blog!! So let's first talk about kids' bedrooms! My only question is how does this happen within 15 minutes?

I mean COME ON!!! It takes Xiera and I over a half an hour every evening to clean up her room and then the very next morning it looks like a tornado just ripped through her room again, which leaves me to wonder why do I even bother cleaning?
A few days ago Xiera got a little present in the mail. Inside was this adorable Crochet Parrot Puppet made by my talented crocheting friend Sarah of Bearly Around Bears And Friends. Xiera named him Norm. Isn't he just the prettiest Scarlet Macaw? Thank you so much Sarah!! He is Adorable and very well made!!

Xiera and I went to the park to have a little modeling fun early this afternoon while Zella stayed home with daddy and took a little nap. Xiera modeled two Nemo sets from 2 different designers. The first shortall set was made by Lisa of Artgirlblue! Xiera loves that it has all of the characters from the movie on it; front and back! O and did I mention the removable dangling fish that hangs from the pocket? How cool is that?

And the next ADORABLE 2-piece set was made by Sarah of *BBCB*.

Both of these sets inspired Xiera and I to watch Finding Nemo this evening. One of her absolute favorite movies! ;)

Enjoying the Great Outdoors!

The girls have been enjoying all this warm, sunny and rain-free weather we have been having. Zella kept picking up and rotating the rocks that lie on both sides of our driveway. She would pick up a rock and walk over to the other side and drop it and then pick up another one and walk back to the other side and drop it. She did this for almost a whole half an hour! It was so entertaining to watch!
Xiera LOVES riding her new bike. She had her choice at the store between a Disney princess and a purple bike. I was so surprised that she picked the purple one. She said she liked the color purple! ;) (Notice Zella in the background getting ready to pick up another rock!!)

I learned a new trick with my photoshop program today! I can put a soft contrast on my pictures! I love it!! Here are a few random shots of the girls I used to play around with!


The girls aren't the only ones having loads of fun outside! And who says chores are boring?

Yes that is hubby riding a Ripstick and carrying the trash cans up to the house! :)

Modeling for Monkey Cheek!

For the past 4 days it has been sunny and warm so we have been enjoying the great outdoors! We purchased a new bike with training wheels and a helmet for Xiera and she just loves riding it so much! Zella loves running freely in the yard and going on walks in the stroller. I am so happy spring is FINALLY here!!!

Xiera and Zella also had fun this past weekend modeling for Jeanine of Monkey Cheek Boutique! Her initial shirts and bows to match are just adorable!


This brown ruffle tank with matching leopard print bow is so adorable too! I like that you can wear it casual with a pair of jeans or dress it up by pairing it with a cute black pettiskirt or tutu too.

Baby Shower And An Upcoming Wedding

A friend of mine is expecting a baby boy this month so I decided to whip up an adorable Race Car Hat and booties set for him to wear and for mom to adore! I really like how they turned out! It "almost" makes me want another itty bitty to cuddle and have fun dressing up. But only Almost..... :)

My cousin is planning on getting married in July and wants Xiera to be her Flower Girl. O how exciting! Her colors are going to be white and black with a touch of silver. I was online shopping for the perfect dress for her to wear and came across this BEAUTIFUL dress found on www.mygirldress.com!

I fell in love with it almost instantly!! I also went ahead and bought the pettiskirt to wear underneath to give it a little fluff and flare.
