Felt Food and Tori Spelling

What does my felt food and Tori Spelling has to do with each other you ask? Well Liam and Stella will be playing with MY felt play food soon!

So exciting!!!

I was contacted last week and asked to put my felt play food in a basket going to Tori Spelling. Little Peanut Boutique in CA is putting together this wonderful all handmade gift basket together to be delivered directly to the Spelling/McDermott house.

It is so surreal to think my kids and Tori Spelling kids will be playing with the same play food.

Pictures to come soon of exactly what I sent. I just had to tell you the great news!

Birthday Shirts!

This year I attempted to create birthday T-shirts for my daughter's birthday. Well my first attempt in April did not come out good at all. My daughter though did love it. I let her pick out what she wanted and just went with it. Everything just came out too small.

So in June I tried again for my youngest daughter. The Birthday shirt came out so great! So great in fact I made my oldest a second birthday shirt, to make up for the first flub. LOL

These shirts were so much fun to do. They really give you free range jut to be creative which I love!

I think with a little more practice these find there way to my Etsy shop. I want to perfect them first, but I m almost there.

Sorry for the chocolate ice cream spots on the shirt. She was really enjoyed her birthday!

Cupcakes Cupcakes

I have just come to realize that cupcakes are very in right now! Every party I go to instead of cake there are cute little cupcakes.

My husband and I recently went to a friends wedding and instead of a traditional wedding cake there were the beautifully decorated cupcake tower!

(I wish I could find the picture)

Then just this weekend my daughter was invited to a birthday party and you guessed it more cupcakes. The cute thing here was each cupcake had a candle and all the kids got to blow out there own candle, not just the birthday boy! What kids does not like blowing out candles?

There are so many things now to make these cupcakes so festive too. Like the cupcake tower I just bought that hold 24 cupcakes. Also all the great cupcake toppers. Like these from my Etsy Friend Traci at T and Little S Designs www.tscrapper.etsy.com

Two Years old!

I can't believe it my youngest will be 2 on Saturday! I can't believe she has grown so much. She is climbing up everything. She is my little tornado. If there is a mess she made it. She has such a great smile and so do darn cute it is so hard to be mad at her.

For her birthday I am going to attempt to make a birthday shirt. I tried this with my oldest daughters birthday a few months ago and it just did not come out the way I wish it had. So after looking at tons of number birthday shirts I think I may know where I went wrong now. So here is hoping I figured it out.

Here is my oldest not so great shirt I made.

I embroidered "I AM 5" on it, but it is way too small to see.
