Diaper Cakes

There is nothing more wonderful than a baby on the way!  Our family is expecting TWO new babies in the fall (no, neither one of them is from me)!  Two of my sisters-in-law are expecting and are both due in the fall within a week of each other and we are super excited!!  This summer we had the baby shower for my newest little niece.  One of my all time favorite baby shower gifts has to be making a diaper cake!  My munchkin and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making these special gifts!  It let's us get creative with colors and themes, and seriously, who the heck doesn't LOVE going shopping for all the adorable little baby stuff that's out there!  Below I have pictures posted of the cake I made for Momma L from different angles.  This one was LOADED with goodies!

SQUIRREL!

This post is simply too cute for words!  As I tried to take pics of my Initial Wreath inspired by several wreaths I came across on Pinterest, we had a little visitor sneak in on the fun.  He is a cute little guy and has been hanging around all over our house!  I have found him hangin from the second floor windows, and my fave is when he pops up on the screened lanai to torment my dog.  I love him (and the wreath)!    

I wish you all a beautiful da....SQUIRREL!!

Two Little Birds....

This picture of my 2 matching little birds brings to my mind the song "Put Your Records On" by Corrine Bailey Rae.  I know, I know...the song says 3 little birds, but I can't help but sing along with "2 little birds, sit by my window....."  as I type this out.  These twins were made for a couple of friends that wanted matching bags and modeled the colors after another special order that was made a couple of months back.  I have to admit that the original owl bag was my favorite color combination.  When I was asked to make it in purple I had a hard time envisioning it in my mind in that color.  I'm glad I talked my mind's eye into going with the flow because the purple combo looks great and is obviously a popular choice!

Special Orders

I've been working away on some VERY special orders!  This special Owl Tote was made to order for my mom.  She was looking for a bag just the right size for her IPad and Day Planner for heading to and
from work.  It just happens that the mascot for the school she works for is none other than an Owl!  How appropriate!  This one is definitely on my Favorites list!  I love the Yellow and Gray color combo and the durable water resistant canvas makes a GREAT exterior for any bag carrying electronics and important
documents!  This design would make an awesome book bag for back to school or diaper bag for a mommy on the run!

The Peace Sign Crossbody Purse was a Birthday Gift for an AMAZINGLY Wonderful young lady.  One of my daughter's closest friends.  This one was a tough design as it was the first attempt we've made at making a perfectly round bag with a zipper closure.  I think with a little more practice it should be an easier design to achieve, but in the meantime this one will remain a One-of-a-Kind...just like the special girl it was created for!

This preppy little Owl purse was another special made goody.  We created and donated this one for the 2010-2011 school auction held at the school where my mother works.  I hope he found a happy little home out there!  

Please feel free to message me for pricing information or custom orders.  

Until next time my friends,

Mom

We Are Back!

Wow it has been a crazy couple of months behind us!  For those of you who don't know I am a Full time Realtor and Proud Mommy of 2 1/2!  (The 1/2 being my nephew that lives with us)  Needless to say I already carry a fully packed schedule AT ALL TIMES!!! 

We kicked off our Summer this year with our son's High School Graduation and enlistment into the U.S.Army!  I cannot believe how quickly his school years have come and gone!  Naturally, we threw a huge party to celebrate all of his hard work.  What a blast!  Family from all over Florida came to visit and my dad made a special trip from Germany just for the occasion!  It was very special to have both of my parents in attendance as well as so many of our extended family members and great friends!  So Many BEAUTIFUL memories were made!  LOVE IT!!!

My Aunt Edith of www.creationsbyedith.com , made us the most beautiful cake!  The statue is a keepsake that looks like it was made of fondant but is actually made of cold porcelain so that we can keep it forever.  The unveiling of the cake had to be one of the most special moments for me because she captured my son's spirit in a way that had us all in tears!  She is AMAZING!  If you haven't heard of cold porcelain you absolutely MUST stop by her website and facebook page.  Very creative stuff happening over there!

As the summer winds down I am finding myself with the tiniest little bit of free time to catch up on some quality time with my babies, my sewing machine, and you. I am looking forward to sharing all of our latest designs and stories with you all.  I hope your summer has been as exciting and full of fun as ours has!  

Love,

Mom

 

Hey you guys!  We're finally back!

It's been a busy summer!  It started when my girl scout troop and all the moms went to Epcot Cent.  It was my first time there!  The first place I went was Paris.  It's so beautiful I can't believe it!  I'm IN LOVE with Paris and me and my friend Abbey are going to live there for 1 year after we graduate!

My cousin Jazzy from Pensacola came over for a sleep over.  My mom took us shopping and Jazzy and I decided to act like models.  Jazzy also got to come with with us to my Girl Scout Bridging Ceremony where I bridged from Brownie to Juniors.  We got to go swimming and even got to learn how to drive a golf cart!

We have spent our summer at the beach, water parks, and having LOTS of sleep overs with my friends.  I'm having a great summer!  I hope you are too!

Love,
Your Tween Queen <3

Mom called us the Pint-Sized Fashionistas :)

Custom Owl Always Love You Purse

Hello Everyone!  I am so excited to show off this custom Owl Always Love You Purse!  It's a bit bigger than the original so it has Tons of room for everything you need!  This one is also sporting an adjustable strap for convenience.  The fabric on the wings are probably my favorite part of this whole purse.  The bright threads used for the embroidered design give this bag an awesome burst of color.  I hope this little owl will be very happy in his new home!
