A few projects!

I made an adorable TuTu for my niece for Christmas last year...even tho she is scared of it and won't move a muscle when she has it on...It did turn out super cute! I looked for a picture and for some reason I don't have a pic of her TuTu...prob cause she was crying..haha She is so funny and so cute so it doesn't matter if she liked my present or not!

When we found out that our baby was indeed a baby girl I had the adorable idea that I could make a GIANT TuTu for baby girl's crib skirt. Well after many weekends of cutting tulle and many trips to Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's...I finished it! It turned out to be much more of a hassle than I anticipated but it is super cute so we will let that slide.



This picture really does not do the TuTu Crib skirt justice...You can't see the different colors used or the sparkly tulle used! The colors are brown, pink, peach and a shimmery sparkly peach...but you can't see that in the pic...You will just have to come over and see it in person..haha or...maybe other pictures will be better..I will try to catch it in the right "light".

Meanwhile in Springdale, Arkansas my mom was working on her very own projects. I got an idea from Pottery Barn to have a rose covered lamp shade. I told my mom about it and she wanted to tackle this project for me and it just turned out perfectly. The best part was that the one from Pottery Barn was small and cost $99 and mom made me a huge lamp shade for like $20! Mom brought it to me the weekend of my baby shower.



I also requested from Mom and Dad a cornice for baby girl's window. Dad had to cut the wood and and put it all together and mom covered it with my fabric choice! I decided to use the toile fabric for this project and mom went and picked it up and they were awesome enough to get it done and bring it to me the same weekend!!
