Tulle Dance Top Tutorial

This top went with the tulle heart bow I posted last week.  My soloist wore this with a tutu and silver booty shorts.  I wanted something that went across here belly so it wasn't completely bare.  The tulle was a great addition and helped tie into her song, "Warm It Up With Love."

Dreaming of Spring: Jean Short Redo

With Daylight Savings keeping the days lighter longer and the gorgeous weather, I am getting Spring Fever!  I want to get my Spring/Summer clothes ready for the warm weather.  I had this pair of shorts that had a rip in them and missing buttons, so I wanted to fix the rip and decorate them a bit.

"Welcome Little Sweetea" Bunting

 I am excited to show my first Etsy sale!  I was requested to make this bunting for an awesome mom at dance.  She was throwing a baby shower based on the book "Little Sweeteas."  The shower was absolutely gorgeous!  She had adorable "cutie cakes" and "sweetie pie fruit salads!"  The banner was a perfect touch to bring the party together!

My 2011 in Review

2011 was definitely a great year and I hope that 2012 is just as fun!  It was also a busy and creative year.  Here are just some of the crafts I made in 2011!

Hair Bows
In 2011, I began selling hair bows at my dance studio.  Here are just some of the many that I created.

Burlap Christmas Stockings

Burlap Christmas Stockings

I was lucky enough to make these custom stockings for a great family for Christmas this year.  They were super fun to make!

The base is made out of burlap and the band is made with red ticking fabric and muslin.  Each band top was personalized for each family member.  The girls got three small ruffles, the mother has two larger ruffles, and the father got a simple, yet masculine band.
