The mind of a rambler....


If you know me personally at all- I'm certain you've witnessed several episodes similar to this...but yes, it happened AGAIN!......let me explain....

This tutu....


got me wanting to make one of these to match....


so I did....


and then I thought, this would be really cute for a birthday party, so I started looking for themes that it would be cute with....like...



Flutterby Butterflies 1st Birthday from 1st wishes

or maybe


but it didnt stop there...then I thought...it'd be cute to suggest some ideas of tutus that would be cute with some of these party themes...





I'm thinking a handtied tutu made of red, teal and white tulle with this super cute Swiss Dot Grossgrain Ribbon and a matching tulle wand with



its almost just too much for me to think about I love it!!

I really could go on and on...but, I wont...for now! If you'd like to order a tutu/wand to go with your little girl's birthday theme or her favorite character, you can request a custom order here

Cute girls with bows and such...

This past weekend we headed to our nieces birthday party and it was a blast. My oldest niece (on this side of the family) had her dress and 'accessories' all laid out for Saturday's party when we got in Friday night. In the morning, I asked her if she'd like me to make her a hairbow to match her dress. I brought just a little bit of odds and ends to make her a bow- so this is what we came up with......




 Miss E and her dress....

Miss E with her bow

Side view...I think she was a little annoyed with me at this point! But I still love her anyways!

And here is little Miss B in her sassy girl headband.

This headband is so nice and stretchy that she left it on for a while!

So I hope everyone had a great weekend and remembered to enter the giveaway!

I'll be making some new totes and wipey cases in the next few days and maybe a matching set!

Bag Tags

So I was thinking...Bag Tags could be used for lots of things besides diaper bags and kids backpacks... like luggage tags- with contact information on the back, sports bags-i.e, golf bags, bat bags, Got a kid that wanders away out in public? If requested, I could attach it to a kid safe lanyard that would provide contact information to other adults to help find Mommy ( I know some of you are thinking OR give strangers the info to not only entice my kid by knowing their name-but have my address to send a ransom note) and they could also serve another purpose....like notifying kids teachers of allergies- my son, for example is allergic to bee stings- so that information could go right on the back. Got a favorite character, team,  Bible verse, quote, song lyric, etc? Just ask, thats what CUSTOM ordering is all about! I will also give a discount for multi bag tag purchases. Just tell me what you want on front and back and what 'theme' you'd like and we will go from there. 



The bottom 1/2 is just some examples of things that would be great to have on the backside.

Also, beginning in June, each month I'll choose a Cause to support- preferably based off of the National Awareness Calendar- and if you select to support that cause on the backside of your Bag Tag- a portion of each Bag Tag will go to that cause at the end of the month.

So I think thats all of my rambling for today...

Welcome!!

I have decided to move my website from Vistaprint over here to Blogspot for a few reasons...mainly, I want more of a blogging type atmosphere. I want to show everyone what I'm making and share ideas. I dont need a website to sell products because I have everything for sale on Etsy. I will be moving all my photos and such over to this site and you can still order custom items by sending me an email. Better get back to work while the little one is taking a nap!
