A Fairy Birthday Party

Back in October, my Little Bean turned 3!

I can't believe her 3rd birthday party was 6 months ago ....

She is becoming more and more of a

Big Girl

everyday

This thought makes me so sad

But, do you want to know what makes me happy?

These little wings!

I found them in the dollar section at my local Target Store.

I embellished them with a little green glitter fabric paint,

some ribbons,

crystals and the one big flower.

I think they are stinkin' cute

that I have them hanging on the wall

in her bedroom so I can see them everyday.

They make me HAPPY!

This little fairy party dress also makes me

HAPPY

I used the bodice portion of my Farilicious Pattern

to create the top of this dress.

Instead of smocking it with elastic thread like I did for

 Kim from 733's daughter's dress

I used sewed multiple rows of pintucks

and then ran a straight seam across them;

making the pintucks "kiss" on opposite rows

to create this smocked bodice.

Wanna learn more about smocking? 

Check out this post 

I have provided some links to a few great tutorials

Willow loved her

Big Tinker Belle Birthday Party Bash

and her special party dress.

Wanna know, what else makes me happy?

Knowing in just 6 months I get host another party

for my favorite little fairy.

I wonder what her party theme should be this year?

Any suggestions ...
