......these stinkin cute crocheted slip ons available here!
my mom and I found this pattern through etsy (we heart etsy!) The Hooker in Me
My mama is whipping up some sweaters, blankets and booties oh my, for bubbalucas this fall. Hopefully some vintage inspired bonnets as well. I am really excited.......

.....a business of party planning?

don't know if I could swing it as a business but I do enjoy planning a party! some special touches for my sister's baby shower...
The invites....Cheryl has an obsession with the old school Pram! I think she owns 4 vintage peg perego prams! So I asked my friend Helen, who is an awesome illustrator and creates some very cute stationery, to design Cheryl's invites and they were so cute! this is how I received them in the mail from Helen



not a big fan of games so I tried a couple that were less traditional, everyone had a lot of fun with don't say baby and we recycled the clothespins to hang art work in the baby's room.....

oh yeah...check out my hostess cake! My sister cheryl doesn't like cake, she likes snacks. We grew up with a well stocked junk food cabinet that most of our friends still talk about today. There was always a twinkie and some ring dings available so I made cheryl an old school snack cake. It came out awesome! better than I expected...I topped it off with a pregnant woman "tipping" the scale saying "oops". She loved it, a big hit!



sewed up some prefab doilies from AC Moore to make our peonies feel extra special


My mom crocheted 50 of these butterflies which we hot glued some magnets onto and created a thank you/favor card. Crazy, right? I love it!

grew tired of the old clothesline trick, so we decided on a toy chest that matched the baby furniture, kids coat rack from Land Of Nod and a hamper to put her bedding and some ridiculously cute clothing! can you see that tutu? amazing! the hangers are pretty awesome as well!

.....Ms. Angella a special bracelet

Bubba's last day of school before starting his new Pre- School. We heart Ms. Angella and will miss her and I think she will miss Lucas as well....

I heart bugs

as promised.....photo shoot in central park on bubba's birthday. He really does love bugs! as well as many other kids we discovered that day. Bubba's new tee received many compliments and inquiries....... so, I am whipping up some more of these awesome tees and making them available here very soon! So exciting!

......a t-shirt for my little bugger

I also embroidered a worm, spider, ant, and bumble bee ( I will post a photo after it is washed, vanilla cupcake icing!)
Lucas loved it, when I showed him he said" woooww, it's beaudiful". He did make one additional bug request, a ladybug.

.....sure Danica knows that I still want to trade for one of these guys

Happy Birthday Lilayna!

..it a point to visit PA more often

I am sure my mom will be happy to read that! Spent a lovely weekend in Pennsylvania, just me and my mama. She brought me to the ribbon factory in Stroudsburg where we spent hours saying "ooooh, we can make....." endless ideas, gotta get working on those ideas!
We also went thrifting and antiquing, which is just so good and cheap in PA! Here are some great buys from the Saly V and other shops.

..my white camiseta pink

my first experience dyeing clothing...I know, but I was always so nervous to screw it up! love this shirt for so long but white really isn't flattering on me and now I am pretty happy with my new favorite shirt. And psyched that the embroidery wasn't disturbed by the dye

..our guestroom into a guestroom/studio! Yay!
