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 ...

Bean's Latest Request ...

Mommy will you make me a VOLCANO DRESS for Easter?

Those were the words uttered by my sweet 3 year old daughter.

My first thought was, Dear God!

What in the world could she possibly mean by that ...

So I started to spin those creative wheels in head

and this is what I came up with

I'm not sure if this can be classified as a Volcano Dress ...

as she was not engulfed in flames and ashes

But I guess you could say there was an

EXPLOSION OF TULLE

Oh please take note of the beautiful Silpada bracelet that the Easter Bunny brought Miss Willow,

cuz she lost it in under 3hours ... Aughhhhh!

Thank Goodness for the kind Waiter who humored me

and took a second look at where we were seated for Easter Brunch. 

Not sure when she will get to wear it again ...lol!!!

This is one of my favorite pics from the day.

She looks so thoughtful 

Brother and Sister

Nothing could be sweeter

If I only knew what secrets they were sharing.

Hope you had a Happy Easter!
