Put a ring on it

While putting away some of my wedding things I remembered I haven't shown you one of my own creations for my wedding. I had such a hard time finding a ring bearer pillow. I wanted something simple yet pretty in Ivory. All I could find were either Ivory with gold fixings or white with crazy amounts of lace and frill and all for a very hefty price. I decided to make my own. I got simple ivory silk fabric from Joanns and I was going to do my own beading design but I found this beautiful applique and added a pretty silver button for the center. The ribbon was what we used to close the favor bags. It came from JKM ribbons and trims (aunt Marsha's idea). Making my own ring bearer pillow was such a better and cheaper option.

It's my party

My neice Brynna and her sister just celebrated their 1st and 3rd birthday together this past weekend. I had a pattern sitting around with this adorable beach fabric for it and I finally had an opportunity to use it since my other neice is getting a little too big for this style.

It is a pinafore top that crosses in the back. I used extra large rick-rac for the border and fish buttons. I think this will make great beach wear and that is one of Brynna's favorite places. I also made bloomers to go with it.

The fish buttons are made out of polymer clay and since that is something I am very familiar with I might just be attempting to make my own buttons as my next project.

I hope to have a picture of Brynna in her new outfit soon.

Better Together

I have finally found the time to start posting thing on my blog again. If you can't tell this is my new husband Jake and myself on May 30, 2009.

This is the amazing purse that my aunt marsha made me. (Yes I did notice the little charm.) Thanks Marsha!

These are some of the many favors that Marsha also made. I told you she was a busy bee.

Something Blue

As some of you may know my wedding is coming up a week from today. My 2 aunts have been very busy little bees. My aunt Marsha is making all of my favors and i'm sure she will post them on her blog at cutestuffinside.blogspot.com. My aunt Roxanne has been busy making this beautiful garter for me. She knitted this up in just a few short weeks and I love it. Thanks for all your help.

A place to rest your head

I managed to save a large flower from the fabric I used on my frind Meredith's apron. I think it makes a fun pillow.

St.Patty's Frenchy bag

My newest project. The same Frenchy bag I have been making with brown, green, and turquoise fabric. I kept this one for myself. Reminds me of the Irish.

Happy Birthday to ya!

Boston Cream pie cupcakes made specially for my friend Kelly(fsdropout.blogspot.com). Drop by and say happy birthday!

These cupcakes are made with white cake with vanilla pudding mixed with cool whip inside and a chocolate sauce on top. Yummy!

I got the recipe from kraft foods. This is the second time I have made them and so far a big hit. Only problem, they have to be refridgerated.

Happy birthday Kelly.
