Abby Cadabby Birthday Skirt

I recently had the privilege of designing this custom “Abby Cadabby” inspired birthday skirt for a sweet lady and fellow blogger, Aurie of “Our Good Life”

Featuring polka dots, ric rac, ruffles and tulle – this is one FUN skirt!
Perfect for twirling! :)

The fun fabric combination was inspired by Abby, but unlike traditional “character clothes” – this little skirt can easily be incorporated into Bella’s everyday wardrobe!
Gotta’ love a one of a kind birthday outfit that can be worn again and again! :)

Happy Birthday to Bella!
THANKS Aurie for choosing Daydream Believers! :)

Handmade Halloween Costumes

Have your kiddos chosen their Halloween Costumes for the year?
Mine have…
Miss I* is insisting that I make her an apple tree with
”LOTS of leaves, a big trunk, and glittery red apples”
That girl has such a big imagination!

Little Miss V*  changed her mind a few times before settling on being the
"Girl- Big Bad Wolf" {yep, I’m going to be Little Red, and she has recruited our
dog, Roxy, to be “Grandma”… it’s going to be awesome!}      ;)
Gotta love creative kids! :)

I have some fun ideas for making these costumes -
I can’t wait to share the pictures with you!

If you’re still looking for ideas – there are SO many great DIY costume
ideas out there! Here are some of my favs: Halloween Costume Tutorial Roundup

This is one of my favorite pictures of Miss I*! I was lucky enough to capture her completely in her element. She is such a sweet girl. I can’t believe she is going to be four soon! It is perfectly fitting for her to be featured in a treasury title “Dancing Queen”


Thanks for including us in your fun treasury, RoyalRegards   :)

BEE Merry & Bright

I’ve been a very bad blogger… it has been WAY TOO LONG since my last post!
{Sorry ya’ll!}
I have been a busy bee sewing up Halloween orders, launching our new storefront at Big Cartel, and working on some C.U.T.E customs! {Pictures coming soon!}

I’ve also been busy preparing for the release of the 2011 Holiday Collection
BEE Merry & Bright  :)
If you follow along on Facebook, you may have read my announcement that I have decided to make the entire Holiday Collection *Ready to Ship* – Yea!
What that means for you, is no wait time! Your piece will be ready to ship as soon as it is purchased!  I hope that this will help make things more efficient for everyone as my shop continues to grow and expand.

Here’s a peek at some of the lovelies from BEE Merry & Bright!

What do you think?
I have dresses {in 4 styles!} – Skirts – Pettiskirts – Tutus – Tops – & Headbands!
*Plus* Burp Cloths for Baby Bees *AND* Sweet little bow ties for sweet lil’ guys!
Any size requests? ;)

Thank you Pinterest

Can I just take a minute to say, I am having SO much fun with Pinterest!
If you are pinning, then you know what I’m talking about!

{Via M* on Pinterest}

Seriously – SO much fun.

What do you do when you stumble across a fabulous recipe? 
I Pin it!

{Via M* on Pinterest}

Want to remember a cute idea for the kiddos?
Pin it!

{Via M* on Pinterest}

See something that makes you laugh out loud?
Pin it!

{Via M* on Pinterest}

Read a tutorial that you must remember for your laundry room re-do?
Yep, I'd pin that too! ;)

Pinterest is free and is as easy to use as bookmarks, only way more fantastic!
Bookmarks are replaced with “pins” which you can share with all your friends…
and vice versa, you can see the fab things your friends are pinning too! 
Instead of bookmarking dozens of webpages and links
(that, if you’re like me, you will never actually go back and search through)
– you just “pin” a little thumbnail of the link and Pinterest stores it for you on the board of your choice, where you can easily find it.
Trust me, it is a fun way to organize ideas, find new blogs and spend a lot of time! ;)

If you’re on Pinterest – let me know! I’ll check out your boards
{You can find me here}

If you need a Pinterest invitation,
leave me your email address and I’ll send you one!
