A Fishtail Braid

After Xiera came home from school one day this week she had asked me to try to braid her hair. This was a real treat for me because Xiera loves her long hair down wavy, brushed, maybe flat ironed every so often, but kept down and untouched almost every day. This saddens me because I LOVED doing her hair every day when she was younger in pigtails with big pretty bows and adorable french braids. I had always wanted to try a fishtail braid on her hair and decided to give it a go.


I think for my first try, it turned out quite beautiful. She loved how it turned out too and allowed me to do it in this style the very next morning for school.

Rushed Christmas Order and Holiday Hairstyles

I rushed delivered this little cutie and adorable pair of pink and white leg warmers today for a dear customer of mine to make it in time to be under the Christmas tree this week! Phew....now I can breathe!! ;)
This past weekend we had an early Christmas dinner at my grandparents in laws. They always have their Christmas get together a week early so all of the grand children and great grandchildren can get together. Xiera asked me earlier on that day to do something pretty to her hair so we visited one of my favorite hairstyle blogs; The Story of a Princess and Her Hair, and found the perfect Hairstyle.

Look at those curls! Can you believe they stayed in all evening? She took one look in the mirror at her hair and told me she felt like a Princess.
Just look at that smile!

Here are a few pics from Sunday night's get together.
Hmmmm...I wonder what is inside!!

Time to open and see...

O wow Roller Skating Barbie!

Look...I got Veterinarian Barbie!

I love this next one. Zella was flashing one of her notorious dirty annoyed looks!

And last...the dreaded group photo of all the great grand children! LOL!

Playing In The 100-Acre Woods

The girls LOVED these Pooh Bear and Friends OOAK sets made by Dena of Designed*By*Dena! The sets are too cute for words and will be available on Ebay soon!!!




Don't you just LOVE Xiera's new hairstyle?

It is called the Barbie Doll Princess Hairstyle and I found out how to do it HERE. I think I might have to try this one on myself! It is just so pretty and trendy!

With love,

Euro Fairy Princess

Xiera had a blast modeling this fun and whimsical Euro Fairy Princess set today for Jayne of Baby Grace Designs! I just love how the colors of the fabric compliment each other so well. Xiera's favorite thing about the set is the "Comfy Pants". ;) She will be listing this set soon on Ebay.




I also had a little fun today putting her hair up in criss cross braided messy pigtails. Want to try this hairstyle on your cutie? You can find out how to HERE.

Putting Them To Work

We are remodeling a bedroom downstairs that is going to be hubby's future electronics/computer room. Hubby is a regular Jimmy Neutron so he needs his very own room for all of his gadgets and experiments.
We put the girls to work by having them help to prime the walls.

Zella is multitasking. Notice her thumb in mouth while priming.

And yes Xiera has a new hairdo for today!

It is called the Cute Knotty Ponytail and I found how to do it HERE. It is so super easy and doesn't take but 5 minutes to do. ;) And it looks so cute too!

Happy Heart Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! --> You know I couldn't resist my girl Hello Kitty showing some love on this post! ;)
I have had such a busy week. As you already know, Zella's big birthday party is next weekend and I have been planning and gathering goodies for her special day. I am still planning on making her Sponge Bob birthday cake. I am just a little nervous how I am going to go about it, but I am sure once I get started on it, everything will fall into place...hopefully. ;)
I have been keeping my promise to Xiera about fixing her hair up everyday! Phew...these hair styles she picks out really are time consuming, but I love the one on one time we have in the mornings while I make her hair pretty. Here is a picture of one of my favorites!

I found the original hairstyle HERE I just tweaked it a bit because Xiera's hair is a lot longer. I thought the little Scary Spice twisty buns looked cute with it. I have also not mastered the reverse french braid technique, hence the regular french braids. ;) O and yes that top she is wearing is about 3 sizes too small for her. She has been playing "dress up" with Zella's outgrown clothes. She insists that they fit her. I disagree.
In between party shopping for Zella, new hairstyles, and helping Xiera out of her outgrown dress up clothes, I have found some time to work on custom orders and a few more hats to collaborate with my dear friend Janissa of JM Baby Boutique.
First is this adorable little boy bunny hat I made for a dear customer of mine.

And here are some more hats to match JM Baby Boutique's Sets.


And how cute are these little hair clips?


I can't wait to see what Janissa makes to match them!

Creative Hairstyles

Just recently Xiera has been insisting on me trying to put her hair up in different ways. She told me she was tired of her hair being down and wanted me to do something pretty to it. So everyday this week she has had a different hairstyle! I have found some really neat hairstyle ideas from Bowsnstuff and Hairstyles For Girls. We tried the double hearts hairstyle from Hairstyles For Girls blog today, and well, ours didn't quite turn out like hearts, but it still looked really pretty and she got lots of compliments when we were out and about shopping today. ;) She told me she felt like a princess. ;) Now if only Zella would let me do something to that crazy hair of hers.....
