My beautiful cousin Mandy and her husband Erick are expecting their very first little bundle of joy. Xiera was their flower girl at their Wedding a little over a year ago. They know she is a girl and have their hearts set on the name, Karlee. Today was Mandy's baby shower. Want to see what I made for baby?
Karlee's nursery colors have a lot of different shades of pinks and greens which were my inspiration.
The white and raspberry rosettes were fun to make and the colors are simply enchanting. I was dreaming of spring in bloom while crocheting this piece. ~my absolute favorite season~
Mandy just adored it today at her shower!
Isn't she glowing? BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats Mandy and Erick! I am looking forward to meeting precious baby Karlee very soon!

A Birthday in Oz
Three years ago today Zella was born. It is amazing to see how smart, sassy, spunky, funny, loving, and independent she has become within these past three years.
This year our little "Dorothy" wanted a Wizard of Oz birthday party. When our children guests arrived, they had to follow the yellow brick road to the craft table to color Wizard of Oz pictures and make Somewhere Over the Rainbow bracelets out of pipe cleaners and fruit loops.
Zella never really was able to finish hers since she ate them while she strung them on.
We then enjoyed a delicious mid afternoon treat to a veggie pizza, chips and dip, and fruit medley. Shortly after it was present time!
After presents, it was time to clean up,
because we had to make room for cake!
I found the idea to make the design of the cake from coolest-birthday-cakes.com. I found the Dorothy Cake idea HERE! This website has the most creative ideas for birthday cakes. Remember the Spongebob cake from last year? We found the idea to make it there too. I found Dorothy and all of her friends on Ebay.
Zella did a triple take on blowing out her candles this year. As soon as I lit two of them she felt the urge to blow them out immediately. And then again when I lit all three of them before we even sang "Happy Birthday" It was so funny!
Happy Birthday Zelly Belly!! We all love you so much!

Oodles of Ruffles
I just finished a custom baby cocoon and hat set for one of my dear customers. I just love bringing all of her custom orders to life because everything is always fun, colorful, and full of whimsy. The set is going to be a baby shower gift. She said she wanted the cocoon to have layers upon layers of bright pink ruffles along the neckline so I did just that. ;)
Lil Miss Baby Diva will be making her very first fashion statement wearing this set home from the hospital for sure!

A Valentine For a Special Teacher
I just love the Love To Cook Hot Pad pattern in Crochet World Magazine's February 2010 issue. I decided to make one as a Valentine gift for Xiera's kindergarten teacher.
Xiera colored the prettiest picture on her teacher's card.
Isn't it sweet?! Happy Valentine's Day from our home to yours!
