Xiera in Wonderland

On Sunday Xiera celebrated her 5th Birthday Party. We celebrated a bit early this year since her official birthday is on Wednesday.
The theme: Alice in Wonderland of course!
Her dress was made by Kristen and her mother Carol of bluebottledesigns.
The party was so much fun and the theme helped me think up the neatest games and crafts for the kiddos to do.
For craft time there were coffee filter flowers for the children to make from Wonderland's Garden.

Some fun with face painting.


A little Croquet


And pin the tail on the White Rabbit

The children enjoyed an outdoor Mad Hatter Tea Party in the beautful sunshine.

Xiera took a bite of her teacup shaped cookie and said, "I'm Shrinking!" LOL!

On the tea cups I put "Drink Me" labels and the tea cup shaped cookies read "Eat Me" in icing.

I stayed up in the wee hours of the night and early morning making Xiera's Tea Pot Cake. I was so pleased with how it turned out! I found this great website with a wonderful tutorial on how to make one HERE.

It was a HUGE hit. I wasn't sure if it would feed everyone who attended the party so I also made 2 batches of cupcakes, just in case. :)
Make a Wish Sweetheart!

Happy 5th Birthday Xiera! Mommy and Daddy love you so much!

With Love,
Lindsay

Back From Blog Break

What can I say? I have been one bad blogger. No posts! I haven't stopped in to read any of my beloved bloggers BEAUTIFUL blogs. I am so ashamed! Please forgive me. I have no excuse except that sunshine was calling.

So what have we been up to? Well Xiera and Zella have been busy having fun modeling for a number of designers.
Debby of Sugarbelle Chic Boutique sent this GORGEOUS strawberry dress set for Xiera to model.

This set is now officially Xiera's and she will be wearing it next week for the Lil Miss Strawberry Pageant at our town's Strawberry festival. So exciting. The custom strawberry set is also listed on Ebay and you can find it HERE.

Debby also sent an adorable bird set for Zella to model. It is also listed on Ebay HERE.


Xiera and Zella also modeled these fun and funky tutu sets for Kel of Posh Party Couture.


Xiera modeled a few adorable sets for Jayne of Baby Grace Designs.



And Xiera also did a little modeling for Lisa of Artgirlblue


My FAVE!!

A Very Special Customer

I just finished a halter for a very dear customer of mine.

His name is Jr. Cash and he is a hairless kitty. His mommy wanted him to have his very own mini me halter top to keep him warm. ;)


Can you see the resemblance?

I think Jr Cash will be pleased with his new mini me. ;)

Dress Me Pretty Shrug

We are enjoying the BEAUTIFUL warm weather we are having this weekend! Highs in the mid 80's in April, in OHIO!! I had Xiera model the Pink Shrug with matching flower hair clip I had mentioned awhile back HERE. I paired it with a GORGEOUS tutu dress made by Brittney of Abby's Tutu Factory.


The ADORABLE Party Hat Hair clippies were made by the talented Jeanine of Monkey Cheek Boutique.

Xiera LOVED twirling around and around in her tutu dress. So much fun!

Breathtaking

I am so thrilled to share my latest piece I FINALLY finished! Crocheted all in thread is this BEAUTIFUL dress with bonnet to match. It is called the Garden Lullaby Dress Set and I found the pattern at the Crochet Garden. This dress was the most tedious and time consuming piece I have ever crocheted but I am so pleased with it!! I am almost sad to let this one go. I want to frame it in a shadow box! :) But I know it will be loved and cherished by my beloved customer. :) Because of all the time and love that was put into this, I will not be making another one again.
Just look at all the details!

Another Baby On The Way!

Yep you read that right!! Xiera and Zella are going to have a new baby cousin soon! (I bet you were thinking something else..;) ) My SIL Carolyn is expecting baby number 3 and after having two handsome boys, she is so thrilled to be expecting a beautiful baby girl! Want to see what I made for baby? Of course you do!

It is a baby cocoon with matching hat. I think the creme with the pink rosettes and sage green leaves along the trim looks so shabby chic and Girly! :)


Xiera had her own "baby" model for me this morning. ;) O and yes I know Xiera doesn't match. She picks out her own pajamas to wear. ;)

And Carolyn was of course thrilled when she opened her gift from me today! ;) Congrats Carolyn! Hugs to you and sweet baby girl!

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!
