Tiny Dots Bow Holder

I wanted to make something to hold all of the bows that I made for Lily. I came up with this idea, and it turned out pretty well.

Lots of Dots

I love this soft and cuddly baby blanket. Fun in brown and pink great for that tag along blanket!

I am enjoying creating many new items for my beautiful baby niece, Lily Bug! Here is my latest creations. She looks so cute in them. I was able to find the clips, bands, and ribbon all on Ebay for very very cheap. I will be making many more bows very quick and simple!

Crayon Creations

Here is another good ol creation. Cut up crayon, position between wax paper foled in half, place hot iron over top of wax paper to melt. Connor made a smiley face and a butterfly.

Discovering Nature

Spring is the best time of the year to exploring how nature works. Connor was very curious about pine cones when we went for a walk one day. I collected each step of a pine cones growth and we discussed all the ins and outs of how a pine cone is made.

Erupting!

For science this week we made volcanoes. This is the good ol trick of baking soda and vinegar and a little bit of red food coloring. Connor was amazed and wanted to keep doing it over and over.

Super Connor!

Connor is so much into Star Wars currently. He was using towels to be Darth Vader so I made him his how Cape with a big C on the back of it. He has worn it every where we go. Amazing how much kids and love the simplest things!

Summer Heart Dress

I found a very cute top at Goodwill for adult women. I was able to take the top and make a skirt out of it for a size 3T girls, appliques hearts on a shirt we already had, and used sections of it to make a dress for Lily my baby niece. Two outfits out of a 2.99 shirt! Can't go wrong. The infant dress is in another blog post below, check it out!

Summer Dress

I am loving making little summer dress for my friends, family, and my daughter! They are so simple and take only a few hours to complete. I have found most of my fabric and Goodwill, and garage sales. It is amazing what you can turn a pillow case into! Check out a few I have made.
