Infant Car Seat Cover Tutorial help...

So I've always wanted  to make a car seat cover and when I found out I was having another girl I knew I needed to find out how to make one.  One of the best do it yourself blogs that I have found is called Make it and Love it.  This girl is crazy talented and takes the time to show you how to do so many things step by step.  I used her car seat tutorial found HERE.  Basically you take picture of your old car seat so you can remember what it looks like and then seam rip the whole thing apart, add your fabric, and put it back together.   It was very tedious but I love the finished product. :) 

Easter/Spring Ideas...

Such a cute idea from Running With Glitter, she named them Smeeps.  S'mores with peeps for the marshmellows, kids will love them.

I love the glittery eggs against this beautiful grey frame.  Jand Jhome tells you how she did it in minutes.

And I love this idea of making your own cherry blossoms.  Over at Love of Family and Home she shows you how.

Spring Decor Ideas...

I love these moss covered bunnies.  Learn how to make them over at I Candy Handmade.

I have Easter egg garland that I made last year that I'll post soon.  But I love how colorful this is and so inexpensive to make.  Learn how over at I Should Be Mopping The Floor.

For those of you with little girls don't you love this fun Spring bow?!  At first it looked way to complicated to me but over Hello My Name is Mama she gives an awesome video tutorial on how to make it.

Spring Decor Ideas...

  So it's been forever since I posted.  I finally feel like a real person again.  I'm coming out of the pregnant haze that I go through in the first half of my pregnancies.  I'm so happy to say I'm having another girl.  My mind is spinning with all the ideas of things I want to make this little baby girl.  So hopefully soon I will start accomplishing projects again. :)
  Here's a couple of Spring/Easter decor ideas:

I love this poster board topiary tutorial from Exchange.  Yes you heard it right those are made from poster board.  I need to make some cute ones for the babies room.

This is such a fun and cute Spring wreath idea and tutorial from Loving Every Second.

These are perfect for Spring decor and at Two Twenty One she share how to make them in a simple tutorial.

And I thought these Nest Cookies were so cute for Easter Treats.  At Life is a Party she shares the recipe :).

At My Name Is Snickerdoodle she shares a tutorial on how to make this tissue paper flower wreath.  So fun to know how to make this because you can make it fit any season by changing the color of the tissue paper.

Felt Flower Tutorial by Just Drink A Coke...

So I have been wanting to make these for a long time and finally found an easy tutorial on how to make them.  So easy!  Check them out at Just Drink A Coke.

Anthropology inspired lamp shade tutorial by Mama Says Sew...

I'm kind of in love with this beautiful lamp and at Tatertots and Jello she has a guest tutorial from Mama Says Sew on how to make your own.

Valentine Skirt and Shirt Idea...

I just sewed a simple A-lined skirt with a hidden elastic waist, and added satin ribbon and the heart shaped satin roses that I made the other day.

For her shirt I just sewed the heart rose in the middle and then hot glued the red heart jewel on top of it.

Heart Shaped Burnt Satin Rose Tutorial...

So I have never seen anyone make heart shaped burnt satin roses, but I'm sure they're out there somewhere. 

I folded some satin in half and cut three sizes of hearts for each clip.

Then it's easiest if you use a candle and slowly get the edges close to the flame without making it turn black but enough to make it curl up.

Then dab some hot glue in between each petal.

Then I covered some clippies with ribbon and I put felt in between to help the clippies from slipping out of my girls hair.

I loved how they turned out and they are perfect for Valentine's Day.  I made some more to attach to my girl'sValentine skirts and shirts.(Soon to come)

Perfect for little piggies :).

Fancy Nancy Party Idea...

My daughter was lucky enough to get invited to the cutest party I've ever seen.  My good friend Liz let me use these pictures.  The theme was a Fancy Nancy Party.  Fancy Nancy is a book series with the cutest stories about a girl who loves to play dress up, pretend, and use big words and they teach what all these "fancy" words mean.  When I dropped her off at this party I think my mouth was wide open.  It was a little girls dream and I wanted to be a little girl at that moment :).  Above are pictures from the entry when we walked in.

Seriously isn't this the cutest tea party?!  And I love how all the tea sets were real glass.  Made them feel like grown ups.

And of course, she had to have Fancy Nancy curtains.

Here is the cutest Fancy Nancy birthday girl.

I love the display of all the Fancy Nancy books.

I had to put one in here of my little Fancy Nancy :).

So fun they made bracelets, fairy wings,

painted each others nails, and did each other's make-up,

and made Fancy Crowns.

I was able to come a little early to pick up and my favorite was hearing Liz talking to them all in a Fancy Nancy English accent.  Then they all got their very own goblet of ice-cream sundaes.  As they were all getting picked up they had a fashion show in the front yard to music, so cute.

Such a fun and magical party!
