Little Mermaid Inspired

I have been very busy with custom Disney inspired designs recently. Today I finished a Little Mermaid inspired halter top for a very special birthday girl. Flounder was a bit of a challenge for me but he ended up turning out really cute I think.

Spring Ruffles and Buttons

A customer of mine emailed me interested in having a skirt and halter set to match the blue bunny hat I had made awhile back. So I took on the challenge and came up with this!


It actually really hurts to let this set go as it turned out absolutely breathtaking. Of course Xiera wants me to make her one now. I am thinking for her upcoming lalaloopsy birthday party perhaps. (Notice, the brand new exclusive only at target Cotton Hopalong mini lalaloopsy doll in hand. We just LOVE our lalaloopsys!)
The most time consuming piece of this set was the 3-tier ruffle skirt with a total of 96 buttons sewn onto the scallop trim of each tier of ruffles.

I purchased the pattern for the skirt on etsy by mytreasuredheirlooms. You can find it HERE.
The halter top features the blue bunny face on the bodice with scattered buttons that match the trim of the hat.


I purchased the pattern for the halter top from anjibeanecrochet. You can find the pattern HERE.

I also finished 2 pairs of leg warmers for 2 sweet sisters. One sister wanted lavender leg warmers accented in pink and the other sister wanted the reverse of that.

I just love how these turned out.

I also love how they are mismatched. If my girls were to pick the colors they wanted, Xiera would say she would want hers all pink and Zella would say black and white striped. Yep they are completely opposite. :)

Birds of Paradise Crochet Halter

I just listed THIS adorable crochet blue bird crochet halter for DillyDally Boutique SpringItOn Guest Launch on ebay.


I collaborated with the very talented Shawnta of Mamigirlboutique. Don't forget to check out the Gorgeous Set she made to match.

Her adorable daughter Mica modeled the beautiful set.

Don't want to wait for the auction to end? Then come into myEtsy store to find it or you can click HERE. I will custom make this halter to fit a size 12 months up to a 6x.

A Little Bird Named My Conscious....

told me that I was being a very bad blogger and that I needed to blog more often. I have to agree and I do apologize. My only excuse is that family and life was calling and I had to set my blog on the back burner for awhile.
So what have we been up to, you ask? Well we have had snow and ice and we were able to build a beautiful snow ice princess.



For a Valentine's Day gift for Xiera's teacher, I made a Sweetheart Swag. I found the pattern in the February 2010 issue of Crochet World.

I fell in love with it so much, I of course had to make one for myself too.

Zella's birthday was on the 21st and we were planning on celebrating her birthday this past Saturday. Unfortunately Zella and I caught a nasty flu virus that left us laying on the couch while watching Despicable Me over and over again for a few days. We started feeling much better on Monday so I whipped up a batch of yummy strawberry cupcakes for the birthday girl to enjoy. I can't believe my baby girl is already 4 years old!

We have rescheduled her "Birdie" Party for this coming Saturday. :)

Speaking of birds, I am so excited to share a little something I have been working on. I am collaborating with Shawnta of Mamigirlboutique for an upcoming guest launch with Dilly Dally Boutique. You can visit her wonderful blog HERE. Shawnta is making a beautiful set using the Treetop Fancy collection by Free Spirit. I just love the fabric print of the blue bird on the brown background. It was that blue bird that inspired my design. I made a halter top with criss cross straps in green and brown to go over a peasant top she is making.


I think the blue bird embellishment adds a touch of whimsy fun to this precious halter. I am so excited to see it modeled with her set.

O Mr. Sun, Won't You Come Out To Play?

One of my lovely customers asked me if I could make her daughter a Mr. Sun halter top with matching hair clips. For those of you who do not know Mr. Sun, he is a character on the popular kids television show called Ni Hao Kai-lan. Well I couldn't turn down this cute custom idea. I just love the light blue color of this halter. Each ruffle is trimmed in a different color of the rainbow. And then there is Mr. Sun smiling so sweetly at the top of all of those pretty little ruffles. I couldn't help but smile once I sewed his little face on. Too cute for words!!

I also made her little red flower hair clips to match. Just like the flowers Kai-lan wears in her hair. This little birthday girl is going to be absolutely precious on her special day!

Patriotic Pageant Custom Top

Awhile back I had made this really cute patriotic halter top with dangling stars around the midriff. (Notice how little Xiera looks in the picture! Sniff! Sniff!)

Well I was excited to have the chance to make another recently for a customer of mine. She asked me to glitz it up a bit since it is going to be worn in a pageant. So I came up with this!

I thought that the gold and silver star buttons and the fringe were the perfect touch for an extra glitz. I also made an extra star clip so she could have the choice to wear them on the halter or in her hair.

Mini Me Customs

The past few weeks I have been super busy with a few large custom mini me orders. I made my first custom boy mini me shirts and they turned out so cute!!
Here is one I made for an infant boy.

And here is the toddler boy size.

I also made 2 custom mini me halters for the same order. This is for a dear customer of mine. Her son and his cousins are all planning on getting their pictures done together wearing these. So cute!


I also just finished a mini me dress for another dear customer. This is for a pageant and I am now finishing up a mini me dolly to match it. ;)
