The Petal Dress

Sunflower Petal tutu dress tutorial

My lil mistress of mayhem is turning one in a month and I wanted to take special picture to put in her birthday invites.

So I made this so easy absolutely adorable dress!!!! I think the whole dress took maybe half an hour to make!!! The Dress is made out of Tulle (which is very cheap about 1.50 a yard) and is basically a tutu dress!!! I had fun making the dress and even more fun taking the pictures of her! She kept walking towards the camera however I think it showed her...well being her! I love my lil Petal :-)

Handmade over Walmart!

In a couple weeks my little boy will be three!

I know this not only because I gave birth to him, but because every day for the past couple of weeks he wakes up, goes to the calendar and counts down until he gets his monster truck birthday cake. (this is very important to him!)

So for the past couple of days I have been working various ideas for handmade gifts for him and I ran past a very interesting blog post about what is cheaper...buying vs making toys. Check out the post here---> Whileshenaps Also while you are there please check out her handmade patterns for toys! LOVE THEM!

I understand that buying toys can be really cheaply done with stores like walmart and dollar stores etc... However there is something magical about receiving and making a handmade gift! It’s something that the recipient will know you put thought and time into... and time anymore... is priceless...(you can’t buy time at walmart...trust me I have tried)....

So as I go back to looking for cute patterns I think we all should stand outside of walmart with handmade gifts and stop people from making a horrible shopping mistake by going in :)

A couple Cute Patern Ideas I'm in Love with at the moment!!
