Worn Out Woot Woot

So the Hand Foot and Mouth monster bug hit our home last Sunday and has totally taken over our lives!!!!! I hate it!! Shelby has been miserable and not sleeping at all!!! In the midst of all this hurt and chaos I sewed up this precious outfit for our local pageant for the Blossom Festival. Olivia ended up winning1st Runner-up and most photogenic! To me, Best Dressed in my eyes as well, but I'm partial! Hahaha
This entire outfit is customized just for her and each rhinestone was placed by hand. I have no idea how many hours this outfit took but I must say it's the most I've EVER spent making anything!!













The lighting was off in this one.....

Isn't she a cutie?!!!!

Shelby is getting better but it's awful seeing her sooo sick...Please pray she continues to improve. She, nor I, have slept since Saturday!!!! I'm runnin on pure adrenaline at this point and surprisingly haven't had any meltdowns! Hahaha

Woot Woot Wednesday!

Today's Woot Woot is definitely about this...






Yeap! The potty training has officially begun!!! And... It's success!!!!!!
Shelby has done sooooo great! I started Monday putting her in pull-ups and introducing her to her potty that we've had for a long time in the guest bath (her bathroom)but she wasn't ready til now. She did ok in her pull-ups Monday but yesterday I decided that it was REAL panty time!! I put her in real panties at noon and she peed 7x before bedtime at 9pm! She had a poopy accident in her pull-up tues. Morning nut only had one accident (pee pee) in her real panties the whole day!!! Her amazing Fisher Price Cheer For Me Potty is what I say is key. It sings when anything hits the bowl and she just lights up when she hears it sing! I also got a "Potty Jar" that is filled with MnMs and Sesame Street stickers (her two fav's)that she gets to dig into when she uses her potty and it's working! I ask her every 15-30 min. If she needs to potty and regardless I encourage her by gently saying, " let's go make the potty sing! K? Lets try!" and she does!!! Usually within 5 min she uses her potty!!! I feel soo bittersweet about this at age! She's growing up soooo fast and yeti feel so proud of who she's becoming!

Prairie Dress

I wanted to do something special for my BFF and when we went to Indiana I took some fabrics I KNEW she'd love and she did! So we shopped and decided I'd make a vintage-like dress with a jersey knit top and this is what I came up with...


























(click on the images to enlarge them)
I call this the Prairie Dress. It looks like something as a little girl, you would play in the field and collect flowers and butterflies in :) this is a 2T but I've gotta a 7/8 outfit I'm about to start working on after today! The mommy & daughter are com in over to pick out fabrics today!! It's gonna be sooo fun, sparkly & glam! There will also be a feather clip M2M as well! This outfit is being made for Miss Olivia to wear in the Magnolia Blossom Festival Pageant comin up!! Can't wait to start! Outfits have become sooo much fun to do lately!!!

Sorry....

Sorry this week's



As well as this week's



Won't happen because I'm too busy playing catch up and caring for my home, family and myself.... This week's verse is Colossians 1:24
" I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church."
Everything is ok, just super busy and flooded with stuff to do....
Love y'all and oh, send me any ideas on tutorials or projects you'd like to see!
