Here Kitty Kitty...

Meet Kitty, the cat purse. Xiera has been asking me to make her for awhile now and I finally had the time to do so.

Do you remember awhile back when I had bought THIS pattern book?

I am personally not too fond of those round plump cheeks or of the pink pom pom ball nose but Xiera wanted it to look just like the picture so I did just that. Xiera says her new purse is purrr..fect.

I am planning on making another soon but it will look much different than Kitty. Think Halloween! ;)

Girls Rule!

Jayne of Baby Grace Designs sent Zella this FUN and COLORFUL set to model! I just love the fabric she used for this set. It has the phrases, "Girls Rule" and "No Boys Allowed!" on it. What fun we had modeling/photographing this set. I crimped her hair for the occasion and her silly bandz and flower sandals were the perfect accessories to match. This set just screams FUN all over!

Lots of Color!

I thought I would share this colorful Etsy treasury made by mistycrochet. As a crochet designer, I am always amazed and intrigued by what others create with their yarn and hooks. There are lots of cute and pretty things in this treasury for sure. Thank you mistycrochet for featuring my ice cream purse in your treasury. Don't forget to check out her Etsy store as well. She has a lot of beautiful crochet pieces available too. ;)

Custom Blue Mediterranean Flip Flops

I finished this lovely pair of flower flip flops for a dear "mommy" customer of mine. I really like the blue and green combo on this pair. Now I am finally all caught up and ready to start some new designs...and get ready for my next giveaway.

Wordless Wednesday-Summer Days

Back From The East Coast

This past week we had a wonderful time at Virginia Beach. This was the girls' first memorable vacation at the beach. What a fun and exciting time we had. We made sure to visit the beach almost every day. Xiera LOVED gettting splashed by the waves.

Zella enjoyed feeding the seagulls and playing in the sand.


Daddy (The Other Kiddo) had a blast boogie boarding.

During our stay, we visited the Virginia Beach Aquarium. The girls loved getting up close and personal with the komodo dragon there.

And getting eaten by a GIANT shark! LOL!

It got up to 110 degrees during our stay so we found this fun "air conditioned" 3D putt putt golf game to play.

On our last day there we went to Bush Gardens where we rode lots of fun rides.


And cooling off at their waterpark was a must!!

Cupcakes to Match

I made Xiera these sweet cupcake hair clippies to match her ADORABLE custom birthday shirt I purchased from makmaydesigns on Etsy.

I really love how they turned out and plan to add them to my Etsy store this coming week. Hair clippies are my new favorite thing to design! I was thinking about making a few flowers, fruits and bugs. What hair clippie designs would you like to see?

Pizza, Cupcakes, and Chocolate Cake

That's what was on the menu at Xiera's BIG birthday party celebration at Chuck E Cheeses yesterday afternoon. And what a fun and exciting celebration it was!
I mean what kid wouldn't love playing games,riding rides..

exchanging high fives with Chuck E. himself..

and getting a chance to grab as many tickets as possible in the brand new ticket blaster??!!

Make a Wish Sunshine!

I think she had a great day!

And it wasn't bad that mommy got a little break for once too. ;)

6 Years Ago Today....

God gave me the most precious gift on Earth. It was the day I became a mommy.

Over the years I have watched her grow and blossom into this beautiful, bubbly little princess! It seems like yesterday when she was this small.

Happy 6th Birthday Xiera!! You are and will always be my little Sunshine!
