Some New Techniques...

First off, here are some new techniques that I have been working on recently.

For my daughter's second birthday we are doing a Mickey/Minnie Mouse theme. I got a few ideas from the internet for making invitations but here is what I finally came up with. I love them and so did my daughter!

It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...

Emberlee has recently become interested in Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She calls them "Mick Mouse" and "Min Mouse" I found some directions on how to make "Mouse Ears" clippies and thought she would like them. Also, I think we are doing a Mickey and Minnie Mouse themed birthday party for Emberlee's second birthday and I thought these would be so cute for her to wear at the party. The first one (Mickey) was a bit messy but the second one (Minnie) came out really cute!

WCA Elementary Cheer Bows

I was asked to make bows for the elementary cheerleading team at the school my husband teaches at. I was so excited that they asked me to do this for them! This was my first experience with attaching a bow to a ponytail holder rather than a barrette/clip. I liked the finished bow and think I might make some for myself! I had fun making all twelve of the bows and can't wait to see the team together with them on!

"Tin-Girl" Costume

This is my first shot at a homemade Halloween costume...Emberlee is going as the "Tin-Girl". She has 3 little friends who are going as the other characters from "The Wizard of Oz". I found her a grey shirt and leggings and she already owned the sparkly silver shoes. I made a tutu, ribbon wand, Tin Man's "heart", and a mini funnel to for her head. I had a blast making this costume and look forward to making more fun costumes in years to come! I'll have to post some pictures of her actually wearing the costume after Halloween.
