My beautiful Sophia is 5

My daughter Sophia is 5 today. So we decided to have a birthday party on Saturday, a Fancy Nancy Tea Party! We had so much fun and the weather was incredible so we were able to have the party outside in the yard ( that made cleaning way easier!).
I tried to prepare everything ahead of time but like always I found myself rush and get everything together in 4 days, will I ever learn? Anyway, because birthday can be very expensive and she only 5 I tried to keep it in a budget and make it everything myself(cheap but a lot of work)cake,food,party-favor,....
She had fun and that's all it matters.








Isn't she beautiful?

Jewelery

Jewelery it is something I always being passionate about. I just did not know how easy is to create your ow piece. I am not that good at it yet, I need more time to learn and more time to create but I will get there. I love necklaces, fabric flowers, headbands and cuffs..... Also I love the neovictorian steampunk style and that what I was looking as inspiration when I was working on this piece. All the material I used can be found at Michaels (I do not have antique shops or other cool stuff around).

Another Tulle Hanger

Hello everyone , how are you today? Recently I have been so busy with my house that I had barely time for what I like to do most. And all the project I started they are waiting to be finish so my list of things to do. This is the n1 in my list: two tulle hanger I made for a friend of mine, she has two beautiful girls and she asked me for two hanger to put in their bedroom. I used two simple plastic hanger and wrap them with small pieces of tulle. It is a time consuming project but very cute.

Left over....

I don't know about you but I have very hard time when I need to trow away fabrics. I fall in love with it when I buy it and after I use the fabric for a project I have all of these small pieces left. What to do with it? I try to trow it away instead of cluttering my craft room, but I can't so they end up in a basket than get fuller week after week. And I swear I go trough that basket so often trying to make it less messy but it does not work






Than I decided to make a blanket with all of those small pieces, and that was a good idea at first but than it took way longer than what I originally expected. Months later I have all my precious pieces in a blanket and in the basket got full again.............

Craft and Cupcake night

I wanted to have a cupcake and craft nigh from long time and I was finally able to get everyone together last week. We made a little box with four card and envelope and of course we had wine and cupcakes. This is a simple project everyone can do and it can be a nice present. We hope to get together once at month and do something crafty, even if sometimes with our husband being in the military is very challenging. Next time I have to remember to take picture of the other ladies project.

So long...

It has being so long since I posted last! So many things happened the last month: my husband finally come back home from school, my mom visited us and the pastry business took a lot of my time. But even if I did not post anything I still made a lot of things especially while my mom was here. She is very good on sewing so I took advantage of her, I wish I have her skills or at least she could live close by instead of another country. This top was the first project we work on(and the easiest one). I will attempt on making one again alone as soon as I can.

I did it...

I did it, I posted some of my ruffled scarfs on my etsy shop. This week I worked very hard to be able to finish four of them and of course I completely neglected my house. Anyway they are finish and I am very pleased with the final project. Tell me what you think.
